Tbh, I don't know why jerboa was released as "stable" but with a forced server upgrade. It seems a bit strong armed. Anyway, I'm thrilled that other applications exist, so I get the continued functionality I want w/o needing the admins to accommodate me.
Email is often drawn as something similar to the fediverse. ... but if you've ever tried to run a small Mailserver, you'll quickly find that "the big corps" have created a walled garden that'll keep the "small fish" out.
It's all based on what the big players view as your "reputation". This is based on proprietary metrics (usually how many emails you send), but your reputation will determine if the email is delivered or not.
... but the point is that one big corps consolidate and reach the size (in terms of traffic/content) like Hotmail, Gmail, yahoo, etc - they will not hesitate to squeeze out the smaller fediverse fish to force them into paying to use the bigger pond.
Jack said twitter should have never been a company but thats even more true for reddit who's whole businesses model is based on unpaid volunteers lemmy is what reddit should have always been community owned and community supported and open source
I'm in the same boat. I limit myself to a superficial check of Reddit twice a day (morning and evening).
Some of the nitch subs haven't migrated and I get the feeling that the "world news" I get from Lemmy is either lagging or flat out missing content. Maybe, I haven't found an "unbiased" Lemmy world news group.
I don't know if this is a well known theory or not, but the basis is that it's impossible for someone to be unbiased, even if they say they aren't. People are subconsciously biased to a degree, so it's impossible to be truly unbiased....
Prior to the protest reddit was in full support of the protest. Most polls on subs supported a shutdown. Now, seemingly every community cant understand why the protest was needed and they're calling it a mod power trip. There is a 3rd possibility. This is an unfounded conspiracy but reddit themselves could be manipulating...
Yup, that's me. I'm trying to make lemmy my new home and limit my access to Reddit (vote with your feet). I still check Reddit for the polls and a few nitch communities that don't exist on Lemmy (yet)
Perhaps I've misunderstood how Lemmy works, but from what I can tell Lemmy is resulting in fragmentation between communities. If I've got this wrong, or browsing Lemmy wrong, please correct me!...
One feature suggestion for Lemmy someone made: Create something like a multi-subreddit with Lemmy groups .
I love the idea. Basically, you could toss all the fragemented tech topics into a single multi-subreddit, giving you the ability to browse through a single topic but spanning different Lemmy installations.
Thank you for the article, but can we talk about the eye-cancer that MSN has de-evolved into?
I click on the link, see the first 3 lines of the article (that I cannot actually click on to read the rest) followed up with an infinite wall of ads and "other articles you may enjoy".

Wow, is that how Lemmy really works? Beehaw disables the downvote, but since I federated through it - I cannot downvote anywhere in the fediverse.
I wonder if this means that people from outside of Beehaw can downvote threads posted in Beehaw (anyone is welcome to downvote my Beehaw responses - in the name of science, mind you :)
I'm really going to have to think about hosting my own Lemmy server. It sounds like whoever's site you register through has quiet a bit of control (especially outside of their respective site).
You mentioned that you're hosting your own Lemmy server. Have you had any issues accessing or being accessed by others in the fediverse?
(Meta) Do we have a general forum for this instance?
I noticed that this instance is on 0.17.4 instead of 0.18.0, which prevents login through Jerboa (the most popular android lemmy app atm)....

Did the reddit hivemind do a 180 or are the people left behind just the people who don't care.
