this app showed me how much i don't know from my neighbourhood. It's really fun.

it even allows you to put notes on things the app doesn't give you an edit choice by default. I let someone know a street name was outdated that way.

(Some) Lemmy devs seem to have political ideologies that are within the "tankie" settings. That's mostly it. Some people express they feel uncomfortable about it. Such devs hold an instance separate from the flagship instance (lemmygrad.ml), which in my opinion is not bad at all, I think it's better they keep them to themselves giving an option to other instances to block it. They're not trying to shove tankies ideas down anyones throats through the softwate or anything. Though this has leaked to the flagship instance sometimes as shown by this post

I am just waiting on r/askhistorians. Whatever they do next I will follow.

Indeed. This definitely deserves some attention and following to get archived in !fediverselore@lemmy.ca.

It's the most valuable for me for sure, and I love everything about it. They're back but currently restricted. I'm really curious about what is their next step.

I use Arch (btw). It's not that I prefer ir over others for anything in particular, i'm just used to it by now.

(that's my personal laptop, the computers in my offices are either Debian or Ubuntu)

Cash money says there’s already a native competitor just waiting to get that money

There isn't and probably won't be. At least not one with a library even half a size to that of spotify. People will probably flock to some competition like apple music or youtube music (neither of those services, as they are not very popular, seem to have said anything about this copyright law amendment). Also a senator already pointed out that if you have a valid argentinian credit card (there's one very easy to get here), you can just register as an argentinian and pay less than a dollar instead of the seven dollars it costs here as a turnaround.

If it gets defederated by instances I care about, then i'd migrate my account.

One of the things the Lemmy devs community need to work on is migration tools. Mastodon, for instance, has tools to migrate your account to another instance that would carry your followings and such. I'd expect something that at least takes the communities/magazines I'm subscribed to with me.

As I do not use kbin, i don't know if it has similar tools, but in any case, my response is the same.

Edit: there is a difference in migrating a microblogging account and migrating a threadiverse account that i'd care about, for instance. In microblogging, past posts do not care as much, it's a more ephimeral thing -I have autodelete my posts set on, for example-. On the other hand in the threadiverse, there may be more timeless meaningful posts that I may care about not being lost and want to take with me if I migrate instances. Because of that, I think migration in the threadiverse is more complex and i'd like the migration tools to reflect that too.

All in all it's also a testament of how bad internet is now. All the information is concentrated in few sites that, if gone, gets lost.

i went regional for a friendly region in my main language. It has a comunity for pudus which gives it extra points tbh. !pudu@feddit.cl if interested.

I use command line tools for this, for most those things pdftk should be enough and it works great -if the command line is too daunting for you, there's PDF chain a graphical front-end for pdftk.

For creating PDFs from images i often use imagemagick.

You are definitely seen by kbin.social: https://kbin.social/m/lemmy@lemmy.ml/active has your post. Why do you say you can't reply? Sometimes the synchronizing has some hiccups.

You can see how kbin.social is "seeing" you here: https://kbin.social/u/@pfannkuchen_gesicht@lemmy.one

in the search tool of your instance enter !risa@startrek.website and it will find it and start federating it.

We have a huge issue with misinformation and this actually helps resolve it.

I'm not really sure about that. Bad SEO is something that still exists, and with huge sites like Reddit gone, the bad SEO sites become more prominent which is not necessarily the site with actual articles and sources.

Of course the solution to this is not reddit back but stopping SEO and having better curation of sites in search engines somehow.

even the mundane is enjoyable, today i went grocery shopping and just added the schedules of the stores I went in.

It's this. You're in your instance and you see things how your instance sets them up.

Is Latin America not the western world?

We have too much melanin to join the club.

Same here (South America). You can not use it yourself but it will mostly keep you out of the loop on everything. Most of the phone companies don't charge you whatsapp message data just to make it more inescapable.

They are essentially different software for, more or less, the same purpose: content aggregation with similar features to Reddit. Kbin also has microblogging features (Lemmy doesn't). They both use the same protocol ActivityPub so they can see and talk to each other.

weird, try using web. May be an app thing.

AGADU is the society of authors. Kind of an union (it's not an union but sort of). It's suppossed role is defending the rights of authors

third world countries are keeping up. My ISP reserves the right to throttle my bandwidth once use a certain amount of data. I have to say I haven't noticed it do it yet. Yet being the keyword here.

No country in Scandinavia uses the Euro, they're all out of the Eurozone- unless you count Finland.

Both Vim and Git really clicked with me when I had to revise and rewrite a paper. Sure, my graphic editor could do most things, but it really felt comfortable and quick on vim. I now use it for all my text editing, but that was my click moment.

Thanks for this. I'm following the account on Mastodon now. :)

AFAIK there are no tools like that, yet. Keep in mind that Lemmy (and surely Kbin too as I think it's newer) are still very young applications (Lemmy is on version 0.17/18 currently). Development will probably accelerate now as it brought a lot of interest in developers and, as I understand it right now, the github is very active right now.

Mastodon does have migration tools to carry your follows with you, so it's definitely possible and are probably coming soon.

Depends on the country, in mine data plans are not that expensive (add some asterisks to that). But they include those "whatsapp free" or some streaming service traffic with no cost to get the edge over other phone companies. All of them mostly have the whatsapp free thing.

I used to live in a different country and it did make a significant difference, as @desconectado@lemm.ee points out below.

They're not really my cup of tea so I usually dont try them. The only two battle Royale games i enjoyed though are Tetris 99 and Super Mario 35.

You mean the WA-traffic made a significant difference?

No, I don't mean that. Whatsapp traffic (files i don't think is included in the deal) is treated by the companies independently of other data traffic. You may not have a data plan, but still get a "whatsapp free" thingy, you can text for free via whatsapp without using data plans.

Bowsers my main since Super Mario Kart, big and fast. But how i loathe being stopped lol.

Yes, i saw a link to a statement of theirs after I put up this message.

That's a weird bug if i've seen one. Do you know how it works?

Lemmy, and I guess kbin too as I understand it's newer, are still in a very early stage of development (Lemmy is now in version 0.17 in my instance). The bump in users may bring interested to developers and there would probably be an acceleration. No idea where the priorities in development are right now though.

That's true and I added it later by an edit in my original post which appears not to have synchronized to Beehaw yet. I wholeheartedly agree with the final paragraph of that post.

However I want to know how to find federated instances from a certain instance instead of the sites if I can. Doesn’t ActivityPub have such a method itself?

It probably has a way, since kbin has a federation button at the top right in the sidebar. kbin.social's bar has the "instances" list empty there. I have no kbin account so I cannot tell if it's private and the list would be nonempty when someone logged in kbin.social views it. Haven't seen a dedicated "page" to do that, as Lemmy does in the https://{lemmyinstance}/instances url. You can view all the magazines on the instances you are federating, as they appear in https://kbin.social/magazines -all the magazines with an @instance suffix are magazines that are currently federating-.

In my opinion, currently federating instances list may not be very useful for discovery and exploration as they tend to get very large and for exploring their magazines properly, they are already in the magazines list of your instance. Any instance not already federating with your instance may start federating -unless blocked- when you subscribe to some magazines, so for community/magazines exploration and discovery, probably a list like The Lemmy Explorer -which includes kbin instances now too- may be of more use. I understand this is not what you want but it is how federation works with apps following the ActivityPub protocol. At least the most popular ones i know.

Blocked/defederated instances lists are more likely to be useful in this sense because they usually are not very large, and they tell you what you have no chance of communicating from your instance.
