Yeah Lemmy seems the way forward. It just sucks for all the subs that won’t be making it here anytime soon. Niche subs I’m following for example, I’ll still have to rely on Reddit.

It does actually. I’m creating a community for one of the subreddits I was a part of, hopefully more people will join and fully migrate from Reddit.

Piracy is the only viable option. The problem isn’t the concept of a streaming subscription service, the problem is how many of them there are. A couple would be fine I guess but if we consider the fact that all the content is divided in more than 10 major services, it’s no longer a viable option.

When Lemmy gives you a Lemon, you make lemonade 🍋

For example I scroll my feed which is set to All. I then open a post for example on lemmy.ml and when I try to upvote it or comment it says I have to log in using lemmy.ml (or whatever instance it requires). This doesn’t happen when I’m using Thunder or Jerboa

Through the main feed which is set to All

I can reply and interact with lemmy.world just fine, but as long as I try with a post made through an other instance it says I can’t. I tried to redownload the app as well

I have this setting turned on, apparently it says I can’t interact with other instances, can’t upvote or comment. But if I turn the setting off I only see content from Lemmy.world

That’s not what I’m saying. Take cable tv subscriptions for example. Multiple companies offer different subscription tiers at different prices but you can get the highest tier subscription which includes all the channels.

Now imagine having to subscribe individually to each Channel, this is essentially what these streaming services are doing.
