People always tend to bounce back to the bigger platform.

How I like to deal with this is to use two or more platforms of the same kind.

Occasionally open Reddit, and occasionally Lemmy. Occasionally checking Fedi, and occasionally going on Twitter.

It may be disorienting at first, but it’s better to get used to going on many websites than sticking to just two.

Gestures aren’t very convenient if I’m watching videos in full screen mode or when typing on the keyboard. There are many problems with gesture nav in Android, let alone MIUI. It’s not worth keeping the default launcher for this.

There’s a difference between liberal left (which is what a majority of rational, secular people belive in), honest far-left, which is about socialist economics, eat the rich, BLM/anti-racism, anti-cop, gender abolition, human rights, actual anti-colonialism etc. and the kind of “far-left” that is “anti-west”, which isn’t really about honestly discussing these issues, but rather about dividing people, being contrarian to established things that work and make sense, and trying to paint everyone who disagrees even a tiny bit as the scum of humanity. On the other hand, any defederation further enlarges the rift between communities and makes being informed on what others think more cumbersome. Also, they think Beehaw, a place that is supposed to be inclusive, is fascist? I am not sure how it is. It’s mostly left and liberal, really.

I’m in love! Smooth, modern, and simple. One thing to note - the “hue” option for the theme in the settings is not very obvious at first or comfortable. We need some kind of visible color pallete or some squares with color options.

Also, Ctrl+Enter should allow me to post my reply immediately, but it doesn’t.

Stremio has been useless until I got fiber internet. Now it’s my preferred way to watch stuff.

Using two different browsers should be the norm imo. One for comfort, performance and compatibility, like Chrome, Edge or Opera, and the other one for privacy, like Firefox, UGC, Tor, DDG, etc.

Used Mastodon for a bit a few years ago, but it wasn’t popular enough so I didn’t get much out of it at the time. Now, I basically prefer Mastodon and Calckey to Twitter, unless I want to see what my Twitter mutuals are doing, most of which are artists.

I pretty much replaced Reddit with Lemmy, and might even delete my Reddit account at some point. I think I’m not visiting this website often enough, but that’s because it’s not as tantalizing as Reddit, especially on web. But I do want to visit this place more often. I don’t want to miss out on what’s happening.

It’s faster now, and we finally have buttons for rich text features! Congratulations!

Update: upvotes are a bit broken and weird right now, I need to refresh every time to see that I upvoted. But that’s really the only issue I see right now.

You don’t need more than two or three, it’s all federated, so you can access most accounts and communities from all sites on any of these sites, which is one of my favorite things about this whole thing

The devs should just make this a default built-in thing like in Reddit.

PWAs only work on Chromium web browsers, though there are some that install on Firefox on Mobile. Yes, I can jsut use Brave, but it’s syncing is awful and I bet there are old accounts of mine floating with an expired passphrase. Granted, I now save my bookmarks, passwords etc. in various other places where I can access them from any device anywere.

This explains things really well. Beehaw’s goal is to be the tight-knit, invite only home for all kinds of people. It’s not supposed to be a Reddit alternative, but a thing of its own. However, KBin and other instances aren’t blocked yet from federating with them, and making a new instance is also an option, so it’s not like all is lost. This is a reason why having more than one account helps.

Reddit was my primary social media page for over 2 years now.

Now that it’s practically gone, finding good alternatives is hard.

I suggest you to go to lemmyverse.net to explore communities and instances.

What we need to grow our community is to advertise Lemmy/KBin to the world and the federation concept as a whole

Well, I am able to visit the site now

Update: I think they fixed it now

I’m not sure, but it is a 502 error so it’s likely just some server-related thing

It just says 502 Bad Gateway. I’m not even sure if the block is intentional on their part, or a server issue of some sort.
