For those that don't know, you can only disable the footer signature on the desktop or mobile web client(in desktop mode). It's kinda of tucked away but once you login, at the top right there's a settings menu at the top right(with a cog icon) -> open the drop-down -> settings ->
Musk's gon' bill it to ya
Tired of tweeting for free? X's gonna monetize ya
Tap tap, open up the app, it's free...
With the non-stop, cash grab of premium fees
Riding rockets, now he's starbound and sold
But he got such a grand scheme
That'll make a tweeter wonder if he’s been memed
Damn right, and he'll charge you again, 'cause he's Elon, so hes gots to win
Tweet battles with the freemium, but no matter how many cats he boxes with, he'll profit on your scene and win
What...why? You only need one account. You have the ability to join, read, and post on any other federated "magazine". The only caveat is if a site decides to break their ties like beehaw.org did from Lemmy.world until the latter got their bot situation/login guardrails in place.
The easiest way IMO is to just subscribe to other communities(make sure you search 'all' communities instead of 'local'. )
If you're using a web browser(mobile or desktop) if you're looking for a specific community you can just append it to the end of your home url if the above solution isn't working for whatever reason but I wouldn't expect anyone would need to manually type out these urls.
Example:
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/(community)@[instance] - this is not a working site just a reference
so the following links all end up on the same technology community on beehaw.org:
open me
https://beehaw.org/c/technology
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/technology@beehaw.org
The only confusing thing that I think may get people is if they create accounts on both Kevin and Lemmy and start getting confused by magazine vs collection(essentially subreddits or /r/ from reddit)
Also maybe, why does data such as upvotes, user's subscribed, upvotes/boosts look different on(for instance):
vs
It's the same posts and the same comments, you aren't missing out on anything . However the upvotes, views, and subscribers are all coming from lemmy.world specifically to https://beehaw.org/c/technology
You aren't seeing beehaw's upvotes and number of subscriber, but just because you don't see them doesn't mean they don't exist. This is why I'd urge for people to find one instance to call home. If you make accounts on multiple instances it's just going to cause confusion for no good reason.
I think there have been enough threads created on this but I hope this helps you out.
Fuck /u/spez and all of that. It would be my 13th cake-day on July 7th 💩and I won't be on Reddit to celebrate because the account will have been shredded and deleted.
I'm glad we finally have an alternative (seemingly)decided on. I guess there isn't much else to talk about until 7/1 when a lot of blissfully ignorant reddit users realize they can't post anymore on their favorite app, when I think we'll see the biggest surge of new users. It feels as though the lack of conversation and "low" userbase - compared to reddit, is prompting users to ask if they made the right choice...

It's too early for those questions and of course people are going to be talking about Reddit, it's our old home. I was a user on Digg before Reddit, the big difference was that Digg V4 blindsided us, we knew a change was coming but had no idea it would be that bad. /u/spez was so nice as to tell us we were fucked a month or so in advance.
The point is, chill out, explore this community and others if you're inclined and don't stress, the rest will follow along in time:

It also has the ability to wipe your GDPR data for those in the EU.
As @JapanStar49 said, mass edit, don't mass delete. IMO this is just as good as a greasemonkey script at mass editing your history to remove your reddit paper trail.
If Lemmy does end up being the site that redditors migrate to, I thought I may as well set this community up before others* did. I'll get to the others* in a minute. I will likely add to this post later but I just wanted to introduce myself and why I decided to create this community.
I'm a third-generation (half)Chinese-American, my grandmother and her husband moved to the States during the Chinese Communist Revolution, they had a daughter, their daughter married a nice white guy, and then had me and my sister.
I'm 32 as of writing this, work as a full stack developer, love gaming and weeb stuff as well as College Football, travelling anywhere and everywhere though I haven't been able to the last few years and riding motorcycles just to name a few things.
This community was created for all hapas, or even if you aren't hapa; you have a friend who's hapa, kid that's hapa, or are just interested in the stories and experiences that are shared here you're welcome here. If you're a quarter Korean, 1/18th Filipino, 3/4 Taiwanese or anything that remotely falls under the blanket term of 'hapa' I encourage you to join!
I may not be the most active moderator, but if this community grows at all then anyone who's interested in helping me mod, please don't hesitate & send me a message.
Lastly, for now at least, what this community isn't:
I want this community to respect others as if they were talking to someone in real life. Which may sound difficult being a community on the internet - but all I'm asking for is that you use common sense, have an open mind, and use the golden rule. The other* community on reddit did not have these values in mind...
/r/hapa - The subreddit that I sincerely believe was run by one moderator and an army of bots. The most popular posts were always those that centered around the discussion of White Male, Asian Female relationships that had sour undertones of bitterness and hatred towards said White Males targeting Asian Females...
Other topics that I found relatable like 'How do you meet other mixed Asian people?' or stories/experiences of user's lives as a hapa, having a hapa son/daughter, and the like never gained near as much traction to the posts I described above. I questioned the moderator and was promptly banned. I spoke to other users who were banned for similar reasons and it honestly just sounds like the person who created that subreddit had a personal vendetta or other issues and used that community as a platform to discuss his views.
This community will not be anything like that.
