Jonah is the admin of Lemmy.one, a tracker-free, federated link aggregator, as well as privacyguides.org, mstdn.party, and discuss.techlore.tech.

"The content" on all Lemmy instances is the same. There is no account migration, but you can just sign up on lemmy.ml. If you already had an account there and you want it back... I don't know if it's possible for an admin there to restore it, you might have to get in touch with them.

I would describe Apollo as an accessibility app in the sense that the regular Reddit app is unusable.

The only problem is that if your instance doesn't know about that community yet, it'll just 404, you still have to search for it first because visiting the link doesn't make your instance fetch the community yet.

This should still be the default behavior when it autofills a community link though, I hope they make this change πŸ‘

I'm trying to understand this community and posts there like "how to disprove the lies about the DPRK?" To me, the most telling thing about these pro-North Korea communities is that there are no North Koreans within them πŸ™ƒ

How/which URL should we link to then?

My (somewhat) hot take is that large migrating subreddits should probably host their own communities, which is what we did when we told people on r/PrivacyGuides to move to Lemmy. Or at the very least, actually coordinate with instance admins beforehand about all of this, clearly lemmy.ml isn't the ideal choice for this situation.

β€œAt Gen Z’s age, older people worked 40 hours a week, and made enough money to buy a house and have barbecues on the weekend,” says Corey Seemiller, an educator, researcher and TEDx speaker on Gen Z. β€œGen Z works 50 hours a week at their jobs, and another 20 hours a week side hustling, yet still make barely enough to cover rent.”

Not sure how they wrote a whole article that basically just says this same idea they quoted at the beginning with a lot more words. Gen Z's money troubles are very easy to comprehend lol

The Apollo dev (/u/iamthatis) estimated that the new pricing would cost him $20m per year. I raised this with Reddit -- they said that his calculations were "totally wrong", but they were unable to discuss why. Given that the Apollo dev literally just multiplied the cost by the number of requests, I have trouble seeing how this could be wrong.

lol

My guess is that Reddit is alluding to the stupid suggestion of "just make your app more efficient with requests bro" (paraphrasing) that I saw an admin make. Reddit's already said they're not open to negotiations.

Hmm... That does not bode well for my hopes that Apollo would support Lemmy in the future. It could have been one of his mods and not the dev himself, though.
