Me too, I've been on reddit for over a decade. I briefly tried a few of the open source alternatives, but was 98% Boost for as long as I can remember. I don't know what I was using before Boost came along.
Awesome, makes sense, thanks for the info. Where can I see such a list? I'm curious about other features.. Post tags/flair, and links opening up directly into Jerboa for example.
I clicked this link in the Jerboa app and it opened into my browser where I wasn't signed in. Is it not possible yet to have lemmy links automatically open into the Jerboa app or is there a setting somewhere that I am missing?
I understand the reasoning behind us not all just joining the biggest one, but can you explain why we should join the ones that align with our values/content we want to see? If anyone on any instance can see everything that is on all instances(I think I'm understanding this correctly), then why does it matter what other content is on the instance that we choose?
Also, if the instance I am on shuts down then do I loose all of my comment/post history? Is there anything that I, as a user or community mod, can do to prepare for this happening so I can keep my own data and put it onto a new instance?
This is especially wonderful if you have multiple Lenny accounts, all your inboxes in one place!
