Take a mental note that I could review later without worry of forgetting it, for times when jotting something down normally isn’t practical such as while driving.

Such an eloquently written statement summarizing the situation and the stance of the mods. It truly felt as though the mods of LegalAdviceUK are a force to reckon with.

We need an instance where every community is full of self-perpetuated botspam. Then every other instance can defederate from it.

Adding onto limecool’s response, both iOS and Android are able to use them. I’m using wefwef right now on my iPhone. It looks like any other app on my phone and acts a lot like it, too. (As a former Apollo user, I can only commend the wefwef team for a truly spectacular replication of Apollo’s sleek user interface. The similarities are truly striking.)

So they’re kind of like a glorified web bookmarks, but they have some capability for managing their own storage (note when you’re prompted to “update” wefwef) rather than being simple links. As an iPhone user, another notable difference comes when you’re getting a new phone. These days, all your apps redownload whenever you restore from a backup, which of course takes time. But your webapps? They’re ready to go right away.

• Android-free Linux distribution specializing in supporting older smartphones.

• Up-to-date software based on Alpine Linux and focused on privacy and security.

• Highly portable construction centered around a single software base regardless of what device it’s running on.

• Goal of keeping a given device running and updated until it physically falls apart.

You might be able to make a [Meta] post in said community and ask for the sidebar to be expanded. Who knows, maybe it’ll work.

Everyone already mentioned that they’re federated and running on small servers. From a user perspective, Kbin is most similar to Lemmy as they are both similar to Reddit, but they are different in that they are completely different projects. Kbin seems to have fewer instances running right now, so everything on Kbin is a little more concentrated among the instances that do exist. But since you can access both Lemmy and Kbin from either, I’d stick with whichever one has the interface that you prefer.

Mastodon is similar to Twitter in how it looks and how people use it.

I joined lemmy.one because it presents itself as friendly to beginners/Reddit refugees. On the plus side, it’s worked very consistently and fast. They’re also federated with pretty much everything, so there’s plenty of content to choose from and narrow by subscribing and blocking.

On the minus side, you can’t create communities there and the only communities that exist are chat, meta, and some security and privacy focused communities. So you’ll have to get most of your content from across the ‘verce. (Which it part of the part of the point Lemmy anyway.) Also, as a beginner-friendly instance, there’s some tutorial-ish stickied messages depending on how I set my view settings.

The only significant disadvantage is if I ever want to create my own community, I need another account elsewhere. Otherwise, I’m pretty happy with my choice.

Big brain move.

I’ve been using Mlem and Memmy. I started out liking Mlem more, but Memmy has really been cranking out new versions lately.

I can’t imagine life without one. So many bad password habits can be eliminated by using a password manager to generate a strong, unique password for every site you use, and devoting your limited password-remembering powers to one decent master password. (Or better yet, secure your password manager further using other forms of authentication.)

It’s not just for helping you (and your less technically inclined friends and family) remember and use strong, unique passwords, though. Since a password manager only recognizes the real web address that any given password was designated to, it won’t be fooled by a scam website using a similar-looking name to a legitimate one. While this doesn’t eliminate the risk of falling for a scam, every little bit helps, no matter how skilled you are at cybersecurity.

I use Bitwarden, which I’ve been using ever since Lastpass started limiting you to using a single device class (mobile or desktop) for free accounts. It integrates with both Firefox and Chromium-based browsers and with the password manager features in smartphones. Their free account is nice, but I went with the paid option so that I could keep and use 2FA passcodes within Bitwarden itself. There have been several debates between doing it like this versus using a separate authenticator app, but I feel like it’s both very secure and really, really convenient. It encourages me to use increased security on every website that supports it.

If you work hard, I’ll bet you could have the Pyra in Two Months™️

• Supports a wide variety of hardware, including ARM devices such as the Pinebook Pro.

• Up-to-date rolling release.

• Multiple DE’s available with customized, clean interfaces.

Either going to take a nap in daycare, or being told to wait until the digital clock said something (around a minute or two) and being capable of understanding that I’d get what I wanted at that time.

Well, you mentioned Zelda so gaming’s accounted for. I also do some writing. I started out doing it in my head/fanfiction-y and eventually published a couple chapters with more to follow eventually. After simmering things around enough, I got some stories that are good/unique enough to begin writing novels about so I also work on those in my spare time. (Plus a few stories that’d work better in webcomic or GB Studio video game format, but I haven’t started practical work on either yet.)

Aside from that, I dabble in Linux/computers and such.

• Rolling release that is remarkably stable. • Supports a wide variety of architectures. • XBPS package manage • Lightweight, systemd free.

Beep. Boop. Meow.

Such a glorious spectacle, the fall of a once mighty internet giant.

I’m a mod in a small handheld emulator community. I’m not in a particular hurry to return the sub to public, but we’ll see what they other guys do. As for me, I’ll definitely keep using Lemmy, although I might use Reddit as well depending on how things develop.

Sometimes, but mostly I use tap to type. Usually swipe is accurate, but I don’t always want the risk that it’ll get something wrong and it’ll take longer to fix it than if I’d just typed it straight away.

Eighteen.
