He removed the ability to see likes made by some profile on the profile page itself.

Yeah, I’ll be honest, never have I took a look at somebody’s likes on Twitter or Mastodon.

They can’t be completely private because instances have to share how many upvotes each post has. That’s a limitation of the fediverse, since everything is spread across many independent systems, data has to be exchanged across them.

As of now, they’re semi-private because end users can’t easily see who voted on a post/comment unless they manage an instance themselves.

Yes, I may be wrong, but spinning up your own instance would also let you see new votes from now on, not votes on old posts. Which makes it even harder for trolls and morons.

This guy scats.

Why would F-Droid have such a drastic default?

Also check out StreetComplete! It’s an app that gamifies adding information to OSM

Nice! Interoperability is great! 🤩

If you use Android, there’s a fun app called StreetComplete that helps you adding details to your neighbourhood

I wonder what happens if I upvote your comment via Lemmy 🤔 do you see my upvote in Friendica?

It now even says where you have to turn

Only if the map has road lanes defined. That means: everybody join OpenStreetMap and map your local area! :)

Reddit used to be open-source, its code still archived on GitHub… then we saw what happened. They closed the source (de facto killing every small Reddit clone) and more recently they cut ties with every developer using their APIs.

I honestly see lemmy.world as a problem. Not as big as relying on Reddit source code, but still a problem. We need to prevent centralization as much as possibile, and one instance having >50% of all users is a bad sign.

Mobile apps (such as Voyager) let you choose the instance you want to sign up. I think they should incentivize instances that are not lemmy.world, until it scales back to a smaller size. Like some kind of rubber-band roulette.

Yes, you’re right and I agree with you. If OP decides to download it from the Play Store, however, he/she’s going to be disappointed when they remove the app and it stops getting updates, and then it breaks.

But does Ukraine really want Crimea back? Isn’t it completely russified now?

Hmm Play Store? That app is not gonna last, trust me.

Also, search on YouTube has been utterly broken for years. You get at most 4 or 5 results and then a random series of videos that are completely unrelated to my search query.

I agree on the choice paralysis. I ended up with Feddit.it because my native language is Italian and that’s the biggest instance in my language.

Try searching for a local community, especially if English is not your first language.

If the dbzer0 instance allows piracy talk but I’m signed up to an instance that doesn’t allow it, can I talk in their community or do I risk being banned from mine?

In other words, are my comments stored on their instance or on mine?

I hate every religion.
