On my system, Wayland KDE works perfectly while KDE X11 is buggy (Manjaro).

1. Yes, in my late 30s.
2. I was a computer scientist, but now I have done a complete 180. But I'm still a nerd at heart.
3. Yup, I'm a Linux user.

But we have to understand that Lemmy/Kbin are still babies, they've just started. And I really believe that it will continue to grow and get better at accommodating users who are not tech nerds. But it will be an organic process.

The more Reddit gets worse (no more moderation bots, no good moderation tools from Reddit, etc.), the more people will migrate to Lemmy/Kbin. This migration will force the community to adapt and make it easier and easier for users to integrate.

GPT-4 isn't fast yet so if it will frustrate people if they do that.

I still go on my city's subreddit to get the latest news about my city.

My migration to Lemmy.ca was a pain but it is doable. I put my Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ca side by side and started subscribing to communities I was following on Lemmy.world.

I agree with you. I just showed what Mastodon's response was.

This is Eugene Rochko's answer (CEO of Mastodon) regarding the question:

Will Meta embrace-extend-extinguish the ActivityPub protocol?

There are comparisons to be made between Meta adopting ActivityPub for its new social media platform and Meta adopting XMPP for its Messenger service a decade ago. There was a time when users of Facebook and users of Google Talk were able to chat with each other and with people from self-hosted XMPP servers, before each platform was locked down into the silos we know today. What would stop that from repeating? Well, even if Threads abandoned ActivityPub down the line, where we would end up is exactly where we are now. XMPP did not exist on its own outside of nerd circles, while ActivityPub enjoys the support and brand recognition of Mastodon.

The majority of people will not look into doing that. A lot of people asked me if I had a Samsung or Apple charger. For them, Samsung did its own thing like Apple. They didn't know Samsung was Android

It is available in Canada, unfortunately 😩.

But the flight test version will always be the latest.

For me it's cool. Back in the days, Reddit was an inviting place like Lemmy where you could have intelligent conversations. Now... Forget about it...

My experience with Lemmy so far is awesome.

Let's give it time. Reddit back in 2007 was in the same situation.
