It’s not controlled by a single company.

nutsack,

It has an API so you can use it with an Android client

Yea, as some people have said, the fediverse and the threadiverse feel much more organic.

Also, no tracking by shady companies is a big selling point

hungryphrog,

The super dumb memes. I love that I can post a something that’s stupid even for a shitpost here and get cheered for it.

The idiots have not yet found the platform, so I can enjoy more interesting discussions.

I get to keep using Boost.

CanadaPlus,

It’s both a cool concept and an actual functioning community. For now, it also feels a bit like the rubes haven’t found it.

Zourage,

Well sorry to break it to you but I’m here now

CanadaPlus,

I always knew you could do it, you just had to try.

Moobythegoldensock,

No ads

DingoBilly,

I’m curious, do you use this on mobile or are you talking about a desktop experience?

Personally I find more ads on something like Sync on mobile than I did on Reddit which I can block, but I am now forced to use the Reddit desktop site.

datavoid,

Voyager is where it’s at

Feathercrown,

The apps have ads? Bruh

Moobythegoldensock,

Mobile - Memmy for iPhone

DingoBilly,

Cheers.

Sync didn’t use ro have ads (or maybe I was blocking them successfully) but now it does. So will try something else as fuck ads.

towerful,

Yeu, sync has ads because the developers of sync put ads into it.
Vanilla lemmy and jerboa certainly dont.
I can imagine some instance admins considering forking lemmy and putting in ads. At the moment, most instances are run as a hobby (for free) or by contributions (ie donations from members).
The development of lemmy was funded by a VC-type thing for a while, not sure if its still active. Otherwise, its also developed thanksnto contributions

I host my own and practically nobody can take it away from me. If I want to switch to Sublinks I can. I can swap the UI if I hate the default one. And it will never have ads or data collection.

It’s a completely open platform. I can make my own algorithm. I can fork it. I can make a compatible server from scratch if I want to. It’s ours, it’s everyone’s.

hanke,

It being a completely open platform means there will definitively be data collection. Some entity will scrape the fediverse for data. It’s free, open and unprotected.

russjr08,

I guess the best way that I’d word it is, Lemmy (and the Fediverse at whole) is run by people - not a for-profit company.

Also, having decent mobile apps again is very nice.

Nooo! Fuck you!

kurcatovium,

Fuck everything and everyone. I hope we can agree on this one.

hungryphrog,

No we can’t, fuck you!

xmunk,

We’re well established enough that we have stereotypes about different communities… it’s amusing.
