I do, but what I don’t understand is subscribing to a community on an instance you hate. Or did you not realize that this is a Lemmy world community?

Imagine going out of your instance to a community on one you hate just to post hate about it. What happened to blocking and moving on
Wtf does EEE mean, why must people assume everyone knows every acronym
Free adblock DNS sells your data, and I’m not interested in paying for it.
I’m really just looking for a link to a game I can send my partner and not have to deal with getting an adblocking web browser or any other adblocking infrastructure.
I will look at this, thank you
Thanks for an actual suggestion and not just saying I should get adblock, I will look into it.
Paid ad-free, there are lots of options
Can you name some? I don’t want to go the adblock route for reasons mentioned in another comment
It’s the cluttered, overly monetized apps that are the problem, not the ads. Adblock won’t stop the pop-ups or banner ads, they’ll just make them blank. Plus free adblock DNS are sketchy, and I’m not about to pay for one.
Average fediverse user seeing a platform undergo changes they dislike:
Apple literally invented that move. I can understand being frustrated with Google’s track record for support, but if you are switching to Apple in hopes of them being more pro-consumer, I got some bad news for ya.
It’s essentially a brand new platform. A tiny dip a month after the initial boom is far from “losing users” and is not indicative of trends. I don’t understand why everyone is so obsessed with growing Lemmy as fast as possible.
Judging by others’ comments and upvotes on my comments, I don’t think I’m alone here in my reasoning, but if there are others that don’t care about the cross-contamination, then I guess we will agree to disagree. I just know that I personally am blocking communities that cross-contaminate, and I am personally looking for strictly Lemmy user to Lemmy user discussions.
I disagree here. The original poster and conversation was started on another platform without any regard or consideration for a platform like Lemmy. They posted it on Reddit, for Reddit, and for Reddit’s culture. Not us. Any replies made on Lemmy would not go to the OP on Reddit. Thus, as far as I care, it’s a post made by a bot. Any emotion or care towards the intended destination community has been detached the moment it was taken by a bot and put somewhere else.
If someone asks a question on /r/python, and it gets posted here on Lemmy, why would I bother replying? It’s not directed towards us, and the OP wouldn’t ever see it, so it’s just spam at that point.
Ah okay. I trust Microsoft to figure it out then. Thanks!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I have a work profile with a cert authority installed in a work profile managed by Intune. If I update to Android 14, I’ll lose this?
I would put money on the fact that the mods of that python community would not want that bot to be run. As others have mentioned, we want to have our lemmy community garner a community and culture organically, completely detached from any sort of roots in a different social media site. I obviously cannot stop you from running this bot in your own community, but I, personally, am blocking any sort of reddit bots or other connector bots.
I really don’t believe rapid growth/engagement injection is a priority for Lemmy. I’d rather focus on cultivating small communities that can engage in thoughtful and meaningful debates on posts that wanted to be shared by posters, and not generated by bots.
Questionable legality aside, who wants this? I thought we created these federated platforms to get away from all that garbage. The last thing I want is more bots spamming content here (not to mention a lot of the content on the sites it’d be pulling from are spam/bot content in the first place).
The fact that Reddit uses a stock image of confetti with the watermarks still on it is pretty shameful honestly. I wonder if that could be reported to the copyright holder.
It’s like driving to a city just to get out of your car and shout why you hate that city, then leave. It’s just like… why not go somewhere else then and move on with your life?
