well, often webprojects don't have that much money and hosting communitys who post a lot of images, videos etc. costs a lot of money. because that a lot of users use imagehosters to bypass this issue.
the problem is most users fear that if they choose a small instance, that it goes down random more likely and their account and everything else is gone. if you choose a bigger instance it feels less likely that the admin of the instance just says fuck it and kills the server random for whatever reason.
as long accounts can't be easy transfered and are maybe even safe somehow without their instance, people will choose the instance that feels the most secure to them. and when i looked at the available instances.. most looked not really long term secure. most did look like they are random ideas of people and they could vanish any second into the void. so i as an example did choose lemmy.world. seemed the most safe option with the best features (nsfw allowed, a lot of users and a big instance)
the new design has issues on my browser with voting etc, but the old design works..? okay i mean.. atleast i now have a option to use lemmy on my main browser.. after the lemmy devs didn't wanted to fix the issue on GitHub i reported and just told me to update instead my browser.
YMusic is specific designed to work with music so the player, loading times etc are better. in NewPipe you first need to open a video, click play (or tab and hold to play), select play in background etc.. and also create your own playlists. in YMusic you click just on a song you like and boom, it plays. also it can download quickly the music and also recommend automatic new music etc.
YMusic is just way better for music. you can even login with your yt account and use your music playlists etc. from computer.
YMusic ftw. if you want to listen to music in background, it's the better alternative compared with newpipe. newpipe is the best for videos..but YMusic for music.
it got worse and worse over the last 1-2 years. this days you can't even open an app description page on desktop anymore. you search for the name...and you can't click on the app listing. it just gives you the option to install on your phone but not to read the store page. you only get to it by searching on Google for it. and the mobile app is like you said shit too. often you can't even find an app and get random ads for other shitty apps.
i mean in your screenshot one is literally a community also existing on reddit. people just recreate their communitys from reddit here and post the same they did on reddit.
if you don't like it, downvote it. things like this should be solved by yourself and not by codechanges etc.. just downvote it if it's not your taste.
isn't photoshop. took that image from a video. had to post it as a image since lemmy and videos isn't really well supported yet (no thumbnails, apps have no player etc.)
reddit already banned and killed aubreddits who just explained people how to migrate to kbin and lemmy. so i think if you would do that reddit would just start banning people and prevent us from posting any lemmy links. also most users probably wouldn't bother even clicking on the link since they want the infos directly without having to do a lot of clicks. so it helps more to recommend lemmy to users in comments etc.
like i said, you need to go to accounts and then click on your account on the instance. then scroll down. there is a red button remove account. thats it.
better solution: instead of creating a reddit post in first place, do it on lemmy. this forces over the long haul people to move because the content and community is there.
good. he killed off thirdparty apps and destroys twitter each day more. i hope it burns to the ground so we can finally start using a better plattform without him controling everything.
