Aside from political views, another social network will not help anything and is only another useless app to install.

For those of you who don’t know there’s a community for betas.

Twitter isn’t dying and isn’t broken. I have also learned the Atlantic is hit and miss. The users and content is still on Twitter. The people going to Mastodon are the niche group of techies. Mastodon isn’t for your casual or average twitter user which is a majority of twitter.

I think news and ads ruined social media today. I do miss the days of MySpace when people used to log on, hangout and message each other. You used to connect with your friends online. Today, social media isn’t really used like that anymore.

What Wander replied. Also you can subscribe to which community has the most subscribers/most active. Having a couple communities of the same topic can also mean the communities can be smaller than one huge community. A smaller community can have better discussions than one huge community.

They really did. I could have swore I saw r/blind officially migrate to Lemmy or Kbin a week or two weeks ago as well.

For Facebook being Facebook, I can’t help but think how will they screw up “Threads.” Instagram has become a junk platform and WhatsApp has declined as well. Meta or Facebook will try to monetize Threads or ActivityPub with their own take. I can’t believe anything decent let alone good will come from this.

It’s going to take some time or you can create the community. July 1st just arrived. So people are still trying to figure out what to do about Reddit. Not everyone was going to migrate to Lemmy July 1st when 3PA shut down. It’ll happen over time. In the meantime we can all do our part and contribute to the different communities now and create content so more people will want to join.

Mlem and Memmy are in the works for iOS as well and these apps seem promising. So much better than using Lemmy in a mobile browser.

Facebook and Instagram already do this. It was only a matter of time for Twitter.

In one of his interviews he said he wasn’t very interested at the moment. But he did say he will watch Lemmy and the fediverse to see the growth of it and decide later on if it’s worth it to build an app for Lemmy. He isn’t sure if Lemmy will actually grow after July 1st but time will tell.

Hello. Welcome

I just installed Mlem and Memmy. Both have a very nice UI and are smooth. I am leaning towards Mlem though. I like swiping right to view my communities.

Edit: I was an Apollo user and reddit does not feel the same without Apollo.

Well, it’s only the “Brave rewards” icon in the toolbar that you have to disable. Otherwise it feels like any other browser.

I haven’t used Google in a while. I have been using Brave Search and it has been good. They don’t rely on any of the big search engines anymore either. They have been building their own index. Right now they only rely on Google and Bing search for image search.

I had use FF for years until a couple months ago. I have been using Brave browser with the crypto stuff disabled. More often than not, isn’t chromium chosen because of performance and the project gets a lot of contributions?

DDG was also caught downranking search results or censoring them. Regardless of what is being censored I don’t think it should be up to the company to decide for individuals. It should be the individual who does their own due diligence and decides for themselves what they want to believe.

Here is the article.

I wasn’t sure if the writers strike was still happening. Earlier today I did search on YouTube for his segment on the reddit situation to see what he had to say.

He’s the first 3PA dev of a big reddit client to do this. Curious to to see now if other devs will follow or if they will watch the sync dev and see how it goes.

He could kill old reddit by next week. Not a matter of if but when. The beginning of this year he said there wouldn’t be any changes to the API this year. Then a couple months later he changes it.
