How is it a win for me if I specifically signed up for a fediverse account to get away from data-hoarding, money-driven corporations like Facebook? I don't want Facebook to have access to my account information, posts and comments. I think you're missing the point about who this company is and the extent to which it is willing to go to get people's data.

When I deleted my Facebook account a good five years ago, I started using RSS to get my news. I also use Feedly. I like how the app looks, I still use the legacy one, as it's simple and I'm used to it.

Mullvad has recently.

I had to do the same thing after I realized how different the website looks on mobile versus desktop. For something still in early beta, kbin is very well put together.

This is what I'm using and it's a decent experience, especially since you can tweak things to your liking.

Reddit didn't always have the user base it has now, it took them years to become big. I don't think we should strive to be as big as reddit.

I was reading the comments to a Lemmy post today (I cannot find it now, to link to it), where users who've been on the platform for a while talked about how the recent wave of signups improved the experience. If the people that are going to switch over at the end of the month continue to a positive influence, that's a win in my view.

I'm very happy with LibreWolf as well. I try not to use any Chromium-based browsers on my personal devices.

I don't use any Facebook products for a reason, and I would not want to have to move to a different instance if the one I chose would federate with Meta. And the same goes for other data-hoarding companies out there, in case they try to enter this space.

that's the way to go 🏴‍☠️

Thank you for this guide. I've deleted my posts and comments and requested the account to be deleted.

Reddit is big enough for me to not have really experienced this too much, cuz I was mostly lurking in smaller subreddits. But I remember sometimes visiting r/politics or other toxic subreddits and never wanting to ever go back there.

I'm still new to the fediverse, so please take what I say with a pinch of salt, but when you create an account on the fediverse, you can access all the federated instances. Which is why you're seeing content from both kbin and lemmy instances.

Yeah, that might explain it.

In case you're having the same issue, simply go the the Magazines page and search for a topic you're interested in. Or you could also look at the related magazines or random magazines listed on the sidebar.

It might have been a momentary glitch, as they show up for me.

Yeah, what I referred to was users who registered an account simply to create a magazine or community and then were never active on the platform at all. To me that's the problem, not someone who intents to create content and interact with the users of the communities they're registering.

I mostly see this from people who seem to forget why we're here in the first place. You don't want a platform with a plethora of ghost town-like communities.

While I don't expect reddit to stand by as moderators encourage people to leave the platform, this is the right move. Let's hope we'll see more people jumping ship to the fediverse.

Please don't harass reddit employees who have no say in what the company does.

As a lastfm user for almost 15 years, I don't appreciate to be insulted like that 😆

While I see what you mean about the names causing confusion, as I was confused myself at first, it took me very little time to adapt. Don't underestimate the users, most won't care too much about what 'subreddits' are called on each platform.
