Enough people are used to the proprietary apps, so it doesn't matter for them. 0,01% of users flowing to other protocols for just part of their conversations isn't going to hurt them.

I think that for Lemmy and Linux the problem is actually in the people using it. Without people using it, they won't be many posts/good software support. Without the posts/support there won't be many users. It's not some UI being different, or anything else. It's the main issue. When you see lemmy.world frontpage (All, not Local), there are 15 threads about Reddit and Lemmy, 2 about Twitter limits and the rest is about tech. Meanwhile, on r/popular you have variety of communities, still mostly memes and videos but there are also other posts.
It's more about reddit that reddit is. You can't make it long-term with this type of content. On other instances it's more bearable, but it's still not enough to keep people here.
Most of them aren't profitable, especially twitter and reddit. YouTube is also doing it now, they're going after adblocks. They even threatened invidious recently.
But tbh discord change is for good. It's easier to invite someone, especially if they have special chars in nickname.
@hyperspace You have the icon on the right of the header bar. It shows a bullet list. Hover it and click "Subscribed".
What's the difference between this and the site shortcut?
Fediverse is a network where servers send user posts to each other, in the effect every server should have the same or similar content. It's not one app, it's a protocol and you can make implementation yourself.
AFAIK Lemmy and Mastodon are connected with each other, but using them to read other one content is kind of buggy/hard. Kbin is easiest to operate if you want to see content of both.
It actually started to work for me without account when Elon bought it. Maybe it's geographical, you're not only person who says that.
The machines should tip the customer for doing job well. After all, it's him doing the work cashier typically does.
Internal investigation? They didn't know they set up 19 mln of not accounts? Or maybe someone did it for them?
@lemonh3ad We need to check it out. Probably problems with posts getting to hot. Would be funny if they disabled votes just because of this.
On kbin it counts as two upvotes to the reputation points and it shows the posts you boosted on your profile. Dunno about Lemmy.
