So far I'm only using Jerboa on Android, but I imagine some of you are working hard to stand up new experiences? Would be especially interesting to know of apps being developed by any of the Reddit 3rd party devs that are being displaced by Reddit's surging greed.
i'm australian, so my home instance is the aussie zone.
my account at lemmy's world is to make and moderate communities with because it's the instance with the most active users.
my account at vlemmy is to be able to make or mod communities that the lemmy's world account can't see. it's got a cute logo and a low userbase so it's easy to sit in and watch my subscription feed update live with fresh comments. only problem with a fast-scroller like that is that you have to continue staring at it if you want to be right there standing close enough to where the news actually breaks to be able to take a selfie. not a healthy mindset if there isn't an active military conflict making its' way across the suburbs of your city, and probably not even then either.
i'v got a reddwent account because i think the name of the instance is funny and as a backup for the world account
and then there's this account, where i don't have to watch out for abusive douche canoes as much as in other places because they get banhammered. mods in the aussie zone are on-the-ball as well. i'v heard the word "tankie" thrown around by critics, but the people saying that shit were the same people screaming about how the protest didn't do any good earlier this week on reddit, half of them are the types of guys who have tattoos that match images in the SPLC's hate symbol database and stand on the steps of state parliament on a saturday throwing roman salutes while wearing face masks to hide their identity, safe in the knowledge that they won't get arrested because one of them is the son of a fairly senior ranked cop. in other words, not the type of people that have much in the way of credibility with anything they ever smegging say.
i plan to get one at dot-emm-elle because the mods there seem to be the lead devs of the entire project, or to put it another way someone who is worthy of listening to, but that's not possible at the moment as they don't currently allow new members.
i'm very likely to make accounts at a couple the other australian servers, like one of the ones in tasmania and one of the ones in perth, and there also a chance that i might build one myself as the equipment is inside of consumer electronics prices and would basically cost about the same as a gaming PC, but if i was going to do that then it would be restricted in one way or another like this place or dot-emm-elle are, simply because i'm someone who shares what they have among people around myself a lot, but sometimes i get hold of something so exquisite and high-tech that i'm the only person in my IRL circle of friends who truly understands how cool the position i'm in and just enjoy that feeling of superiority and selfishness that goes with having something cool. i was thinking that the next PC i build will be for the entertainment unit tho, not the house server which i was planning on building a few years down the track.
and hey, if i'm running my own instance, i wouldn't be able to contribute to the running costs of others, like this one. that doesn't work for my intentions ...
i was wondering when you were going to pull a wad of gum out of your mouth to finish it off like macguyver. that's some solid reworking of the tech! nice one
I'm not trying to convince anyone to go back i promise, quite the contrary actually cause I think spez plans to just decrease the cost of the API and act like it was a bargain deal sacrifice while not solving any of the issues at all...
nothing short of the resurrection of Aaron Swartz at this point. huffman's screwed the pooch while jumping the shark at the same time, and the rest of the board are complicit. either get rid of them all and replace them with geeks who act like are there so that the servers don't break down, or we'll stay in other places like this where that specific situation is the reality.
it's about the user experience. can't have the corporate cheeze-heads fucking that over for the sake of a quick buck,
What are the hardware rrequirements for a Lemmy instance?
Hi! I have a 2 cores/2 GB VPS with very light use, right now....
Are there any sites or communities tracking all Fediverse mobile apps released or in development?

Aussie Zone Signups
I'm wanting to lock down site signups. I need your help on what question to put to applicants that can be used to vet their application....
How many accounts do you have on lemmy/kbin?
First time posting, but i was wondering if i was the only one who had more than 2 accounts in total on here
I switched to Cellular home Internet, here are my mods so far. (beehaw.org)
I live in a semi-rural community with few internet options....
what would Reddit need to do to get you to go back
