I’ve been feeling uneasy about the privacy implications of using Lemmy and similar platforms. The ability for anyone to view your entire posting history feels to me like publicly sharing my browser history. In contrast, most other social media platforms allow you to limit your feed visibility to just friends or followers....
In recently purchased Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro with MIUI I see the message app isn’t available for many popular apps, those messages usually show when the android version is old but I have android 13 so I don’t understand why I see those errors so much in the play store.

I recently came across a proposal to create a marketplace of sorting algorithms for Lemmy, allowing users to browse, select, and even create their own custom sorting algorithms. This would provide more advanced users with additional ways to customize and sort content, and give the community the ability to share their creations....
