This truly is Reddit’s successor.
Bleh, gatekeeping is trash
I mean the only people who are gatekeeping are those that prevent themselves from joining because they are unwilling to work out how the fediverse and by extension Lemmy work and how it’s actually surprisingly easy to use, once you get used to it.
In other words people’s fear of change is the true gatekeeper here.
Still annoying, but so long as we don’t try to make it harder for these people to adapt than it already is, I think there should be no problems.
Edit: See my reply below.
Did you mean to reply to something else? I don’t see how this is relevant to OP
Yes! It’s a bug. The post suddenly changes, while I’m writing a comment. I also deleted it immediately, but that didn’t seem to federate properly. I resurrected and edited it, hoping that’ll update for everyone. Original intended context: https://lemmy.world/post/129333
@Skelectus @imaqtpie Write it in notepad or some other note taking app then paste it and send. I would do that till all the bugs on lemmy are fixed
The app doesn’t decide which community to post in; you do. When you pick a community for the post to go to, you might pick !news@beehaw.org, in which case it becomes hosted by the beehaw.org server. Or you might pick !news@lemmy.world, in which case it’s hosted by the lemmy.world server. If you vote or comment on the post that’s on beehaw.org, the vote/comment is hosted there as well, and likewise for lemmy.world.
Perhaps the important point is that !news@beehaw.org and !news@lemmy.world are different communities, just like how neo@thematrix.com and neo@zion.org are different email addresses, even though they’re both Neo.
The biggest benefit I see so far is the lack of bots. I know there are still some bots out there but most of them are useful bots and not just karma farming bots or bots designed for propaganda.
Haha, i feel you compeletly. I really like it so far here. The UI is intuative and the community seems to be active!
i’m so glad we’re off reddit so now we can say what we really feel about spez
I didn’t even use third party apps, I just really don’t like when companies try to enforce stuff in that way. I’d love for Lemmy to grow big, and it doesn’t seem to have the same initial clunkiness and feeling of being lost that you’d have on Mastodon during the Twitter shenanigans. I’m hopeful.
Ditto. I used to use BaconReader a million years ago, but for the most part I just use my mobile browser if I’m on my phone. But them doing this to 3PA is a red flag, a big giant one, that either they’re looking at Twitter and going “wow that’s working great, definitely not a huge catastrophic trash fire” or at least going “that’s a trash fire alright, but one I’m willing to live with if it means more money.” Time to get out.
