@Lemmyin I just want that Infinity for Reddit get Lemmy and Kbin added to it.
By far the best Reddit client. I really love the gesture navigation on it.
There's no other app close to it.
For me it was Relay. Absolutely perfect in every way, and the gesture navigation was so intuitive. Currently using jerboa for Lemmy and excited to see where it goes or what other apps become available for it
I was looking the jerboa page and it called Lemmy a “federated” alternative to Reddit. What does federated mean in this context?
It's it's own platform, but there's other platforms that cross talk and are all one for the end user.
It's basically reddits within reddits within reddits all communicating with eachother. There is a connect point between them, the individual instances, and they are ran by people willing to do so, they control the flow of communication based on the communities needs, in theory.
Relay is amazing. At this point I couldn't give a shit if reddit ever goes back to "normal" but I'll hate giving up Relay. If only there was some way to log in to Lemmy on Relay.
Don't quote her on this but I think someone is or was working on a wrapper to translate API calls from Reddit to Lemmy. In theory that would make it possible for 3rd party devs like Relay to change the end points to Lemmy. Big if true.
Agree! You will pay thesubscription after 30 June? I don't want to because I don't want support Reddit new policies not even with a penny. Would be for the dev, but also would be money for the Reddit's dirty hands.
Why pay to use a platform that's already making money with my personal data or the data that I post on Reddit?
That's why paying makes no sense. Like paying for having online games on a console. I'm not into that stupid idea, that's why I play on PC and pay for internet to my ISP.
Paying to any console company to play online games is like paying to the mafia for "protection".
Same applies to Reddit.
I'm not falling in those mafia techniques.

It refers to the fact that communities belong to a specific instance. These instances can federate, as in "be a whole, made out of two", or stay separate and stay isolated
There is no central Lemmy servers. Everyone can run a Lemmy server, which is called an instance. The instances talk together and sync posts and comments between them.
The admin of an instance (usually the owner of the server) is in total control of what goes and what does not on the instance, and which other instances to federate (sync) with.
When you create a community, you choose an instance that the community lives on. The community is then in the hands of the admin of that instance and the mods assigned by the admin to that community.
I don't think this going to happen but we can wish

A greedy company can't block your access.
I'm constantly swiping on comments and posts.
