Exactly. That’s why I tend to always stick to the Fediverse, even when newer, trendier options pop up (like Bluesky).

As someone who ditched Reddit a couple of years ago in favor of Lemmy, I feel a bit vindicated. I thought my “dump Reddit” mentality was maybe unjustified, but… here we are. No regrets.

Oh this is nice. Thanks for sharing!

Just wait until EA starts doing drive-bys.

Currently using Arctic for iOS. I was using Voyager for a while, but the Arctic dev (devs?) are so good about bug fixes and adding new features, I had to switch.

Ah, I see what you’re saying. Under normal circumstances, I would suggest to new users to signup on the “flagship instance”, but in Lemmy’s case… nah.

To be perfectly honest, I’m not certain what content I’m not seeing because, well, I haven’t seen it 😅. Some instances seem to do a good job of only blocking content from notoriously bad sources.

I assumed (probably incorrectly) that users would be visiting Lemmy via apps, so the UX would depend on which app they used.

I don’t know. I have a soft spot for Lemmy. The interactions here seem more genuine less about updoots.

Same here. It’s unfortunate, because it is a nice project. But his attitude sours the whole thing.

I was following him on mastodon for updates, until he went on that ego trip. I had to mute him after that.

Dansup has had multiple public bullshit tirades, it seems. He went ballistic about a developer recently who did something for Pixelfed, and ranted endlessly in the most egotistical fashion.

It sucks. Pixelfed is a nice addition to the fediverse, but that guy is a dick.

Dumb question, but does the page source show where the video is contained?

Usually, I’m on mobile, so either reader mode or Hide Distracting Items.

The rest of the time, I just find another source.

TIL I contribute absolutely nothing to the betterment of the Fediverse.

A genuine family tree.

Brb, grabbing some toaster leavins.

This.

Plus if I’m being honest, he’s a dick. My company had to have several meetings with him re: app development, and he just lectured us.

Whoa, I need to check this out

I might be wrong, but I think Friendica works a bit like this.

Never a bad choice. I actually have a tab group specifically for fedi services.
