I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync's developer, Lemmy's developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home instance...
I'm looking for an app which allows me to open a post and then just swipe to the left to see the next post down. So far I've tried Jerboa, Connect, and Sync and all seem to want to perform actions on whatever comment you happen to swipe on rather than move the entire post/thread.
This new version introduced a system so that your instance stops sending out content to other instances that are supposedly dead / offline....
Just a little rant. When I first visited Lemmy Sites a couple of months ago it felt empty. Besides the really mainstream community pretty much everything else just felt empty....
This includes every Lemmy android app that exists (atleast to my knowledge)...
"As the social media landscape ebbs and flows, the team at BBC Research & Development are researching social technologies and exploring possibilities for the BBC. One part of our work is to establish a BBC presence in the distributed collection of social networks known as the Fediverse, a collection of social media applications...

Recently I've dove a little deeper into the Fediverse. I began with Mastodon like many others and I'm ready to move on. Mastodon as a software in comparison to similar services in the Fediverse like Calckey/Firefish, Friendica, Misskey, etc. just isn't as good and the only thing it has going for it is an established user base...
I feel like almost every single piece of software has some problematic dev that has racism, transphobia, or both. I recently read a post about the calc key devs and sighed *facepalm. It is honestly really annoying cause I want friends to use Fedi but than you can pull up a whole laundry list of problems with the devs and it's...
[Edit 2: I think anyone commenting should identify how much they use Facebook in their comment lol]...
Since I've been on Lemmy, I don't know what my use is for Mastodon anymore. It's dead on there anyway. I don't have anyone to talk to and nobody responds to my posts.
My Problems with Mastodon...
I just reached 112 myself....
I wonder if the admins are using a k8s setup with CF? This way they have the CF protection and can spin up or down as needed when they get many requests. Thoughts anyone?
I want to respond to writing prompts, but from a separate account. That way, if someone enjoys a story, they can scroll through my (alt account's) history for more writing without needing to dig through all of the dramatic, vitriolic, shit-stirring my main account will be regularly diving into....
Not the best news in this report. We need to find ways to do more.
Title, basically. Back on Reddit, there was a way to add a user as a friend. It made it easer to identify people (Apollo would highlight friends differently), as well as to see what they’re up to across all communities. There was even a feed for all posts by all friends, which was really useful.
As Twitter ditches its iconic branding in favor of owner Elon Musk's favorite letter "X," its open source competitor Mastodon is once again seeing usage numbers soar.
For the most part it's borderline child porn or stable diffusion spam. There should be an option to opt out of content from specific instances on account level.
With several Lemmy instances using the .ml TLD I’ve seen people mention others being risky as well. Which should be avoided?
An update:...
We have territory given to us by the Fuck Spez Coalition. We just need more soldiers. Come help us spread the word of Lemmy!!...
I don't think the Fediverse will become mainstream. But I'm actually happy about that. And so should you.
Across this vast Fediverse, I have encountered a trend of people answering questions with esoteric programming language speaking in tongues that I don't understand, including under my own posts. I am a Boomer when it comes to coding and I am only 27. I don't even know where I would start to learn it because programming is so...
