#Threads demands to know literally every single thing about you, your health data, your browsing history, your finances. It is utterly insane to trust Meta with this, it is hoovering up absolutely everything. This is a ghoulish #privacy nightmare and nobody should touch it with anything but a chainsaw.
@RedditMigration#kbin and #lemmy are holding up pretty well after the mass exodus from Reddit today. we will see what happens in the coming weeks. Reddit is gonna burn and we are all here for it!
I just released a really important Apollo update that adds the ability for users with remaining subscription time left to decline an automatic refund. Devs pay refunds out of pocket, and this will be about $250K, so I thank you for your consideration. ❤️
Also, this update includes an amazing "Goodbye Apollo Wallpaper Set” for your phone, tablet, or desktop, created by outrageously talented Apollo icon designers. You can unlock the pack with a donation that helps with refund costs. 🙂
@christianselig I already deleted my account 2 weeks agao when the #redditblackout started. I payed for pro and ultra when I was on ios. I don't want a refund cause Apollo was the best thing for me when i was on ios. i remember hanging around the sub asking when it will be released or just a sneak peek. Keep the money I hope you make apollo for Kbin or Lemmy would be sweet!
Judging by the amount of Apollo merch that’s sold in the last two weeks without me even mentioning it, maybe I should be in the t-shirt biz instead of apps
@christianselig But you had to create apollo first so everyone was aware of it. used it for a while and now everyone that sees the merch know's what it means. Hope you come to lemmy or kbin
@Pulptastic@lostwonder I don't know why people are holding on. If u/spez can do what he is doing now who says he won't do it again? Let's say he let's third-party apps back. It's a matter of time when he shuts it down, this time for good!
Hi lemmy.world! New to the fediverse, trying to create lemmy account but I just keep getting a spinning arrow and no sign up confirmation. Any thoughts?
Edit: I’m posting from kbin, I was able to create an account here. I’ve tried lemmy on two different browsers on mobile iOS, wondering if it’s just a glitch due to an influx of users
Edit 2: I tried creating a login on desktop and that worked! Leaving this post up so others can see in case they have the same issue :). Happy Reddit migration!
@MudSkipperKisser@MiddleWeigh Welcome. You only need one account. With one account you can talk and see post and everywhere. Best thing about having a local account is having your own frontage of all the communities you follow. Just like Reddit in it’s own way
Just my 2 cents but with #SteveHuffman and #Reddit threatening mods and forcing them to reopen the subreddits, every subreddit should follow the fabulous example of /r/Pics: become an exclusive haven of sexy pics of #JohnOliver 🤣
@phil299 You realize that the only way through this is to talk about it right? It’s like breaking up with someone you are with for years then they just f up and try to forgive them but it’s too late
@DaughterOfMars That’s why you do your research and create an account on a successful instance so you don’t have that problem. I have a lemmy account and mastodon. I have lemmy because of the blackout but didn’t know what I was doing. I note know how to use lemmy and mastodon from the user side of things. Lemmy for my subs and general looking at the sub home page and communities. Mastodon to chitchat and everything else
@DaughterOfMars True that. I did my own research and now know what the fediverse is about and wish I didn’t jus blindly follow people. I could have joined an instance of what I liked. Oh well lesson learned. There needs to be a faq about the fediverse before people just come.
When I hit "Create" I'll get the "Loading" swirl and that's it. As if the site isn't responding. Is this happening for anyone else, and how do I remedy?
@ObieFTG Sometimes there is a delay. Like when you make a comment it just loads and loads yet when you refresh the page that has the comment it is there. I don’t know how it woks for post though!
I am new refugee to lemmy
I want to familiarise my self with the rules and workings of this app/ website how moderation is done and etc so I can be extra careful
Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?
I was just browsing a thread on c/nfl looking for new mods. There were multiple 12+ year Redditors there offering to help....
lets hope lemmy achieves this too (lemmy.world)
Weekend poll: Do you currently use a third-party Reddit app? (www.androidpolice.com)
How many of you use a 3rd-party app to browse Reddit?
let's cut the "Reddit" circle jerk and start actually making content
Not that it is not interesting but I would like just a tad more variety on the front page....
[Guess not...] Installed lemmy-ui 0.18.0 RC-1
I just installed the 0.18.0 release candidate 1 of the lemmy-ui component....
Lemmy needs two things to be successful
In my opinion, there are two big things holding Lemmy back right now:...
Site isn't letting me create a new community.
When I hit "Create" I'll get the "Loading" swirl and that's it. As if the site isn't responding. Is this happening for anyone else, and how do I remedy?
