People always tend to bounce back to the bigger platform.
How I like to deal with this is to use two or more platforms of the same kind.
Occasionally open Reddit, and occasionally Lemmy. Occasionally checking Fedi, and occasionally going on Twitter.
It may be disorienting at first, but it’s better to get used to going on many websites than sticking to just two.
Gestures aren’t very convenient if I’m watching videos in full screen mode or when typing on the keyboard. There are many problems with gesture nav in Android, let alone MIUI. It’s not worth keeping the default launcher for this.
There’s a difference between liberal left (which is what a majority of rational, secular people belive in), honest far-left, which is about socialist economics, eat the rich, BLM/anti-racism, anti-cop, gender abolition, human rights, actual anti-colonialism etc. and the kind of “far-left” that is “anti-west”, which isn’t really about honestly discussing these issues, but rather about dividing people, being contrarian to established things that work and make sense, and trying to paint everyone who disagrees even a tiny bit as the scum of humanity. On the other hand, any defederation further enlarges the rift between communities and makes being informed on what others think more cumbersome. Also, they think Beehaw, a place that is supposed to be inclusive, is fascist? I am not sure how it is. It’s mostly left and liberal, really.
I’m in love! Smooth, modern, and simple. One thing to note - the “hue” option for the theme in the settings is not very obvious at first or comfortable. We need some kind of visible color pallete or some squares with color options.
Also, Ctrl+Enter should allow me to post my reply immediately, but it doesn’t.
The thing with this is that after shutting down Mixer, Microsoft started suggesting people to stream on Facebook Live instead. I’m still not sure how that partnership lead to the trademark of Mixer being given to Facebook Inc. at the time (I assume, before they became Meta).
You don’t need more than two or three, it’s all federated, so you can access most accounts and communities from all sites on any of these sites, which is one of my favorite things about this whole thing
Microblogs are a very cool feature, but it’s a shame that it is one button on the top of the page that looks similar to the other buttons that you’d mostly ignore it if you weren’t actively looking for it
The devs should just make this a default built-in thing like in Reddit.
PWAs only work on Chromium web browsers, though there are some that install on Firefox on Mobile. Yes, I can jsut use Brave, but it’s syncing is awful and I bet there are old accounts of mine floating with an expired passphrase. Granted, I now save my bookmarks, passwords etc. in various other places where I can access them from any device anywere.
This explains things really well. Beehaw’s goal is to be the tight-knit, invite only home for all kinds of people. It’s not supposed to be a Reddit alternative, but a thing of its own. However, KBin and other instances aren’t blocked yet from federating with them, and making a new instance is also an option, so it’s not like all is lost. This is a reason why having more than one account helps.
I suggest you to go to lemmyverse.net to explore communities and instances.
What we need to grow our community is to advertise Lemmy/KBin to the world and the federation concept as a whole
Well, I am able to visit the site now
Update: I think they fixed it now
I’m not sure, but it is a 502 error so it’s likely just some server-related thing
It just says 502 Bad Gateway. I’m not even sure if the block is intentional on their part, or a server issue of some sort.
Having to seperate kbin from the rest of the fediverse is really limiting, and makes the experience more fractured.
With the quick death of Twitter and the even quicker death of Reddit, we as a community are speedrunning the transition to federated social media. We only need good mobile UX and keeping the growth, and we’re set. It feels like a post-apocalypse right now, and I am not sure how to feel about it.
this is a beginning of the end for reddit as we know it
Haven’t had this happen with Sync though. I guess proprietary ad-supported clients have the budget to make QoL improvements faster. Although, I do love Voyager as well!
