Not sure just mildly infuriating πŸ˜…

Also infuriating: the number of my friends who have installed this shitty app πŸ˜‘

Also used sync, maybe that's why it feels nice to me too

If the headline is a question, the answer is no

I'm also using connect. I find the searching for communities to be terrible and a couple of other issues, but the bread and butter of reading posts, comments, commenting is very comfortable. I'd recommend it too right now.

Would strongly recommend a password manager. I use bitwarden, you can use self host it or not. If you don't like bitwarden there are plenty of free options. Random password generation and sync is going to be a better practice than much else I can think of, so I'd encourage you to go for it! 😬

I think over the next few months we are going to see quite the pace of changes in lemmy technically, as new features are introduced. I would be careful with saying you're happy to wait because something stable will be the result. I think it's going to be a case of racing to keep up and, despite the developers best intentions, it will have bugs too. Hopefully over time it will be less blatantly obvious than now with other clients, but don't give up on sync when it launches and is not the sync for reddit experience you're used to! I'm sure he'll get there in the end :)

+1 for duckduckgo, it removes all the built in trackers too and is built into their android app. I really like it.

Oh God he should have looked how she was as defence minister in Germany before suggesting this πŸ™ˆ

Same, as much as I hope lemmy succeeds, I simultaneously hope that the API changes get reversed. Good job to those fighting for this over there

[–] omgnvq@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

Probably not. I understand the concern, but another issue is sending people to smaller instances which may end up disappearing. It's all run by small groups of volunteers or even by individuals, at least on the bigger servers you have, at least in theory, a lower chance of the instance vanishing (with your account).

I don't know if there are any plans to cooperate between instances for tech support/funding or if accounts can be transfered one day. Until then - a slow lemmy.world feels like the lesser evil.

Definitely posting more, i feel like on reddit it could too easily get a bit aggressive sometimes whereas, whilst people are disagreeing in comments on lemmy, it is a nicer tone. Less intimidating.

That and the volume of messages (lower) makes it feel less intimidating for me.
