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
Ublock Origin is an obvious one, but I also can't stand not having Foxy Gestures anymore. It adds customizable mouse gestures, so you can set it up to have easy swipes to go back a page, reload a page, close a tab, etc, and it feels wonderful and smooth to use compared to just using the traditional buttons to do everything....

Lemmy.ml, the most popular instance fo Lemmy out there, is not accessible in my country unless I use a VPN. But, I can subscribe to any community that exists on lemmy.ml from here and even post on those communities from this account....
Serious question, as I‘ve barely seen any mention of Lemmy on Reddit. None of the Mod posts regarding the Blackout mentioned Lemmy as far as I‘m aware. Would it be against the TOS to start a coordinated promotion?
It works the same as Apollo. You have to tap the text at the very top of the screen (be it the current community name, "All Posts", "Subscribed", etc.) and then you should be able to search for any communities tracked in the cache of your instance.
Here is a very interesting text from Itxi Guerra originally written in Spanish and translated to English by Anti. It talks a lot about the relationship of anarchism and disability, but I believe it can an be interesting perspective to read for any kind of activists. In the first section there is also an informative list of all...

As a mod I've been considering this, but with the amount of moderators and communities that have been banned for attempting to steer their users to alternatives, it's simply not worth the risk. For now, I've just linked visitors to our Discord server instead, and people should be able to find the Lemmy and Raddle alternatives there if they wish to.
A lot of questions on here are aimed at the reddit users experiences, but I've been wondering what the older users thought of his move. Are there any reddit cultures you are hoping do not come with the users? Are you confident or fearful of the growth coming from the reddit community? I'm curious how the reddit influx is...
The app I use, Mlem, has the most accesible community searcch feature I've yet encountered, but unfortunately integration with /Kbin is not yet supported. I think the dev is working on it though.
So, if I want to post something on, say, the Technology community o. Midwest.Social, is it good/bad etiquette to also post it on the Technology community on another instance like Lemmy.ml or beehaw.org?
I oppose dehumanization in all its forms, and despite being Ukrainian I have always been mindful of the humanity in this war.
With that said, the overwhelming majority of the "orc" comments that I've seen are directed not towards Russian civilians, but towards Russian combatants. Indeed, on that note Russians have been calling Ukrainians much worse things from day 1 on Russian social media, so if anyone is being dehumanized (and this is coming someone who reads Russian better than Ukrainian) I'd say it's more so Ukrainians by the Russian side, but I digress.
Name calling aside, I think it's incredibly dishonest to term the rooting and supporting for Ukraine as "jingoism" when that word describes what has been happening in Russian society for the past year far more appropriately. The American invasion of Iraq was bad and jingoist rhetoric was used to justify it, yes, but the exact same has been happening in Russia to a far more extreme degree during this war.
How can you ignore that while denouncing mere name-calling on social media and passive support in the war from the side of the West?
Yeah, unfortunately the .ml in the TLD of the biggest Lemmy instance is not at all coincidental. On the other hand, it seems that a huge proportion of migrant Redditors have a preference for neutral servers with more Libertarian approaches to administration like Beehaw. At least Lemmy itself is FOSS.

Have you ever considered forking the Lemmy repo and building your own software to both maintain interoperability with ActivityPub, but also to be able to better fulfill the features and goals that are specific to the Beehaw philosophy?
Well, with the influx of thousands of new users, it's very much an option in the near future. I also work in healthcare, but have a ton of programming experience. Maybe it could be a cool summer project for me and a bunch of other Beehaw users :)
