Is there yet a way to fully migrate a lemmy account like a Mastodon one? Otherwise, “just move instances” isn’t great advice, it’s still having to start over. We need that ability imo or we’re losing a major benefit of being federated.

I agree that the fediverse isn’t currently super privacy-friendly, although I think there’s also an inherent limitation to privacy on a social network since it’s all about sharing things. I view privacy as having the control over WHAT I share, with WHOM I share it with, and WHEN, and I get that moreso with the fediverse IMO. I choose what information I share, what I follow, etc. The major difference to me is that Lemmy isn’t tracking me elsewhere around the web like Facebook, Google, Pinterest, etc do. The big sites also save our posts and messages even when they claim not to, because things that are deleted are very rarely ever truly deleted.
I would appreciate the ability to send no-knowledge encrypted DMs here on Lemmy. But using PGP is not difficult, will guarantee only the recipient can read the message, and is a skill that everyone who uses the internet should be able to do anyways.
The ability to create multis could solve that. I could make a local Edinburgh multi, sub to both of the communities, and view them together in one feed for example.
Reddit is also almost 20 years old. Lemmy’s like what, maybe two? Reddit wasn’t super great in 2006 either.
yo dawg I heard you like blockers
What’s your community, illegallysmoldogs? I have two criminals myself. Subbed.
You’ll have to wait. Reddit took a long time to get to where it is now. Lemmy can get there too, but it won’t be overnight.
Steve Huffman is a breathtakingly gross human being.
I have a 13 year old 1tb WD mypassport that I loaded up with pirated movies and took with me to Afghanistan. It’s been through a lot, and it’s still working well today, not even a blip of an issue. Such a shame when companies drop off in quality.
Oh, that may be it. Thanks!
I’m crossing my fingers for a LiF is Fun for Lemmy lol
Are the algorithms that determine how our “front pages” are populated set at each Lemmy instance or by the protocol as a whole? Aside from blocked instances.
Is it bad I’d like to see some more
If Meta or Google tries to buy your instance, you can migrate to another one. They can’t buy them all up.
You’re right. After almost a decade and a half on reddit, I’d forgotten that it also had a learning curve when I first came across it.
I guess that speaks to how terrible the official reddit app is, I’d rather learn a whole new site with a whole new framework than view reddit without RiF is Fun.
I’m warming up to it, but I’m not a fan of the auto-refresh and links moving right as I want to click them
Seems like no matter what, the communities that were on reddit are fragmented. Some people stay on reddit, some quit social media, and some get scattered across two dozen lemmy instances. What a shame.
They also could have saved money by remaining a link aggregator/discussion board instead of deciding to host media as well. Any surge in costs is their own fault.
thanks for everything you’re doing man
