  • Reddit is down

  • agreed, redditors are welcomed in the fediverse!

  • Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?

  • 16 years on reddit and same, don't miss it, so long and thanks for all the fish

  • Permanently Deleted

  • it is :)

  • Young People Should Oppose the Kids Online Safety Act (US-specific)

  • wow, I looked it up and you weren't kidding. absurd, how is the population OK with this?

  • FYI you can follow Lemmy (reddit-alternative) communities from within Mastodon; for example if you follow @crypto you will get the Lemmy crypto community.

  • thanks, appreciate it! (though I'm no longer leaving the mentions in replies so it was solved for me anyway, but I think for new users this will be very useful :))

  • People are getting fed up with all the useless tech in their cars — For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, wit...

  • Good strategy! I currently own 5 cars; 91, 93, 97, 09, and 11 (and the last two are a utility van and a base model hatchback with no electronics).

    I had a job in college working on information security for automotive systems. I'm actually pretty good at fixing cars with electronics, but the DRM where you have to go back to the manufacturer is too far for me. If I can't fix it with what's in my garage, I'm not interested.

    It's also more eco-friendly than constantly scrapping/upgrading cars.

  • Reddit claiming they weren’t recovering deleted posts

  • they are likely terrified of being sued under GDPR

  • Don't feel bad for the Moderators of Reddit

  • I moderated a top-15 subreddit for over 5 years. reddit got so corporate so long ago that the 80% of the mods left are just on some kind of power trip. So no, I won't ever feel bad for them.

  • The decentralized web is growing

  • people often forget that reddit initially achieved network effect because a small number of high quality users left digg for being too captured by corporate interests. the rest took 10 years to play out, but inevitably when the mainstream follows these initial users, the platform dies and it is time for another migration. I think we've been ready for a while.

  • Framework Sold Out of 3 Batches of Laptop 16 in Less Than 3 Hours.

  • I run a Thinkpad and my partner is an early adopter of the v1 Framework. She had quite a few early adopter issues on her leading me to believe the hardware polish isn't there 100% (eg hinges too weak they had to release an upgrade, this broke the display cable and led to BIOS issues, etc).

    I mostly agree, the one place I think Thinkpad could use more maintainability is in mainboard compatibility. Framework promises (TBD) Mainboard compatibility across upgrades, we'll see if they deliver.

  • Is not that god damn hard.

  • one UX improvement is also in replies. I comment from Mastodon, and because I'm replying to you my post will be federated to feddit.uk but not to your parent comment on feddit.de or the OP on lemmy.ml :|

  • Is not that god damn hard.

  • added in March of last year, and not sure about third party apps since I use the official interface. I find it very useful though, between that, hashtags, public lists of people to follow, and boosts, I set my feed up in about 6 hours and it's been on minimal-maintenance-mode since and serving me fine. depends on how much the niche communities you like adopt the Fediverse too, YMMV!

  • Is not that god damn hard.

  • I find the "explore" page super useful for exploration! Spend a few minutes twice a day or so and the content quality is quite high, great place to branch out into boosts from. On my instance, I also do my best to curate the global feed to be somewhat useful (though things to creep in at the edges, I need to do some culling now for some Misskey bridges that are pretty loud in that feed).

  • Is not that god damn hard.

  • @r1veRRR I was on social media both before and after algorithmic curation, and I find it no more interesting now (less if anything). YMMV.

  • FYI you can follow Lemmy (reddit-alternative) communities from within Mastodon; for example if you follow @crypto you will get the Lemmy crypto community.

  • feedback on the link bot, may be good to have it only reply once per thread/user combo, because the default Mastodon UX auto-inserts the reference into any future replies (but will start consciously deleting it!)

  • FYI you can follow Lemmy (reddit-alternative) communities from within Mastodon; for example if you follow @crypto you will get the Lemmy crypto community.

  • @crypto (ok what I didn't realize is that this is also how you post a thread on Lemmy, so condolences to all the Lemmy viewers who already knew this <3 on the upside if you want a crypto-focused Mastodon UI, always open signups on this instance!)

  • FYI you can follow Lemmy (reddit-alternative) communities from within Mastodon; for example if you follow @crypto you will get the Lemmy crypto community.

  • @crypto you can also comment directly from Mastodon. different platforms become differnet skins on the same data, ain't federation grand?
