Yeah. Even when many niche communities are still there, I prefer to bet on Lemmy and its growth instead of supporting what was once great and now is only an ego megatrip for Spez and his overgrown ambition and greed.

Here it feels nice and cozy. I like it a lot. And also, the developers of my two favourite Reddit apps will soon unveil their apps for Lemmy (same name even). Check soon for Boost for Lemmy and Sync for Lemmy.

Sync and Boost are indeed outstanding, just like they were on Reddit. My two favourites, no doubt about it

True, yet it still isn’t, as far as I can see.

Not the one you’re replying to, but sometimes you’re just a follower of some community, because you lack the knowledge to be more than that even when you are interested in the subject. To create/moderate a community, or even to be quite active in it, isn’t for everyone, I guess. No need to insult someone because they can’t do more than they’re able to.

In my opinion, that is.

Same for me. But I don’t use Reddit’s own app on mobile. I use Boost, because it’s still allowed for moderators, since Reddit’s app is shit for that. Doesn’t matter if you aren’t yet a moderator. Go there on a browser on a PC or Mac. Create a new subreddit. Great, now you’re its moderator. Then enter with Boost (on Android), and that’s it.

Anyway, the more people leave Reddit to cross the pond and get to Lemmy, the best.

Not that I like it, and I really do like certain Linux distros, but in my case I have to use some software that runs well on Windows and isn’t available under Linux. Alternatives aren’t as good, and the versions I need don’t run well (or not at all) on WINE. As far as proprietary OSs go, I find Mac OS much better than windows, both in general user interface, integration and how smooth it runs and feels, but as a choice it’s even more expensive than Windows. Better, yes, but more expensive.

When/if the software I need find runs under Linux I’ll stop using windows, I guess.

This one is just one answer to your question. I’m sure there might be some more.

Edit: runs

When I had my Geocities website, I used Webcrawler as my preferred search engine. Cute spider and spiderweb iso/logo. Then came Altavista (altavista.digital.com, it was at first) and I switched. It brought more and better results. Somehow I never liked Lycos. And Yahoo, the first years, was a categorised catalogue/guide, kinda curated, and you had to submit a site to be considered to be added. You had to choose under which category (and subcategory, quite often) it should be listed. Also, at first, it wasn’t Yahoo.com, it was buried in some .edu (or .ac, I don’t quite recall) URL.

I had an old Moto phone with an FM radio that worked without headphones, although it was stated that with headphones plugged in reception would be much better (which was true). My current phone (a Moto one too) has FM radio, and I use it.

I never had a phone without FM radio. It’s one of the features I actually want in my phone.
