Lemmy just needs to stop talking about itself so much. The only reason I still use Reddit is because I find fresher and more varied content there. Lemmy users need to provide more content than just the fact that they are on Lemmy.

I use them with Revanced. Sorry Lemmy, but you're not even close to Reddit's content quality. You're improving though.

This is one of the most retarded takes I've seen.

I'm on both, and both vibes are pretty great. I prefer Mastodon simply because the app is superbly made, tiny file size, no trackers etc. Bluesky is a buggy mess right now. Also, 3rd party apps on Mastodon are amazing.

Its not as good as it sounds. There should be some kind of sorting. I follow #food but I get low-quality content of any random user taking a picture of their refrigerator at the top of my feed just because they posted 1s ago.

Tell me you've not read the article without telling me you've not read the article.

Is it Fortune500?

What's the alternative?

Fedora is my recommendation of choice. The default Fedora + Gnome workflow out of the box is absolutely flawless.

Finally, Mastodon will be using be usable for me.

I would use it if it wasn't so slow. I get that it's slow because of the security, but that's precisely the reason it can never be my primary browser.

I hope so. I find some excellent content here but I still need to sift through tons of Lemmy circlejerk to find it.

India - $8/mo, symmetrical 150Mbps, unlimited.

I do. My usage has gone down in half, as blue I have Lemmy and the vibes here are nice and I like the concept but it still doesn't come close to Reddit in terms of content and niche subreddits.

Lemmy is a great platform considering how new it is, but the conversation is still majorly about being on Lemmy and how Reddit = bad, and the Fediverse. It's very fatiguing.

Couldn't agree more.

It doesn't have an algorithm and isn't cross platform.

The article says 80 percent of the users left. If you had more context, you would have got what I said.

I don't know what you mean by Wayland not being ready for general adoption. I've been using it on Fedora for a year now with no issues whatsoever.

Might be a Hyprland issue instead of Wayland, as I remember from the time I tried out Hyprland.

I don't like the way it has a different color than the status bar. Looks jarring and incomplete.

It's open source.

The sanest comment here.

Never used one, (can't afford to right now), but I adore the idea of the smaller flip ones. I would definitely take one if they reduced the crease in the future, it's too noticeable right now.

And 80 percent of over 100 million users is still 20-30m active users.

I recommend Logseq as an Obsidian alternative. It's amazing.

I agree with the Fedora recommendation. Just a all round great experience.

It's not really a color problem. It's the fact that the gray in the app is not the same shade as the gray in the status bar. Jerboa and other apps make it so seamless, it turns me off in Liftoff. Waiting for Sync/Boost for Lemmy.

What kind of hospital doesn't stock up on Oneg? That's the most essential blood in the blood bank.

Aur Bhai kya haal chaal

The entire point of ActivityPub is that it's open and EEE-proof. If the users leave it for something proprietary but better, then it isn't EEE, it's just a better product.

Simply being open source is not an achievement in itself. The platform has to be user friendly, stable and future-proof. Most FOSS and federated alternatives create a platform and then endlessly harp on federation like that's the end. No, that's the beginning. The point is to make a product better than Big Tech WHILE maintaining federation and Foss status. THAT is what makes a platform EEE proof.

If they embrace ActivityPub and then start adding their own proprietary features that are enough for users to switch over, and Mastodon doesn't, then it's not an "evil agenda", it's Meta adding an essential feature that the users want and Mastodon isn't able to add and ultimately Meta making a better product.

If Mastodon or Lemmy are truly superior and the future, then the product should be the best in the market, not DUE to federation but DESPITE it.

That's one thing that everyone here forgets because right now federation is hard to get into, and the only people here are those who put the effort in because they believe in federation. That is the reason for their tolerance in an inferior product. But if that's the case, then it will never be mainstream as long as the product is inferior.

Can't see how you would take that as a compliment, but hey, it's up to you.

Bluesky does it the best. It supports community made custom algorithms, so I use a Discover feed to find people I like.

I wasn't aware of the fact that the API changes would affect the Revanced workaround. Also, haven't the API changes already happened?

What about apps like Relay for Reddit? They are continuing with a paid model in the future and are complying with the API changes. They should be unaffected by this, if I've understood correctly? Relay is my app of choice.

Relay is continuing right? So the revanced patch will update alongside. Anyways if any such change happens I'll just leave Reddit tbh.

The new rules don't permit NSFW content. Also, they will be moving to a paid plan soon.

It is a lot faster and cleaner. Just my opinion, it's an improvement over the laggy mess of a website they have right now with bloated JavaScript.

Anyways, have a good one.

I actually really like the redesign. It looks very modern to me, and the website feels a great deal more responsive.

I like Apple Music. It's awesome even on Android, which is what I use.
