No way to do this I don't think, but you can paste the link into the search bar and that shows you the post on your instance so you can interact with it.

It's a bit janky but it works.

I think you can paste the permalink into the searchbar and that would show you the original post that you can interact with

I would hate such a change. I can't see emoji reactions ever being better than seeing a single number for vote count.

Reddit did kinda have their own emoji reactions, but they locked them behind a paywall, and called them awards. I don't think anyone liked them, even if it wasn't for the money. They cluttered the UI, they were annoying, even Reddit didn't like them, since they're removing them now.

Now imagine that but instead of a few people who paid Reddit for some reason, everyone can do it, for free. Thousands of emoji reactions per post.

Emoji reactions work for chat platforms since only a few people see each chat, but after a few hundred people see the post it becomes meaningless emoji spam (see discord announcement channels)

If anyone wants to leave Twitter, but there's still people that you want to see, I recommend Squawker. You can't interact or post, but you can follow people and you don't need an account.

Works on Jerboa too

I don't see anything wrong with mod bots. I don't advocate their use I an 'authoritarian role', but they can be used for things like preventing duplicate posts, making posts fit guidelines, removing spam, etc. They're just a tool to make moderation easier, it doesn't change anything about the way a community is moderated.

Not really, if you browse the big communities it has enough users but for more niche communities its not neatly nearly enough to be a replacement for reddit

What do you mean by the built in search tool to find communities all over Fedi? From what I can tell the search bar only searches communities that are already federated with kbin, so you'd still need to use something like lemmyverse.net/communities for small communities anyways.

And also if you want to have access to a community that hasn't been federated already, I think you need to use a different search bar. On Lemmy you can use the same for both.

For me Lemmy is better. The web UI is simpler and easier to understand for me, and I have no use for the microblogging features. And more importantly there are Lemmy apps but no kbin ones. I'm glad there are options for everyone, and hopefully they both get the features that they're missing but the other has!

Sounds like we'll see the effects in March next year. Fingers crossed.

Yep, the fourth link works now. I thought it would also work from kbin, but it seems to give an error. This is all too confusing... Thank you!

The second one is formatted as !jewelrydesign, not as !jewelrydesign@kbin.social, at least when seen from Lemmy. When opening from jerboa it gives an error, and from the website it doesn't show as a link at all.

Edit: I checked from Kbin and it looks like it hid a part of my original comment for some reason. Maybe kbin handles community links differently. Here's what my first comment looks like from Lemmy.

For the links, I think the correct formatting is !community@instance which should work in lemmy, but I'm not sure about Kbin.

For example !jewelrydesign@kbin.social

Also I love the icons you make. Very creative!

I know they said they'll federate with ActivityPub, but did they say they will allow you to move accounts to other instances? That seems extremely unlikely to happen

If you're just going to the link to visit it yourself, that's the proper link. If it wasn't a lemmy.ca link you wouldn't be able to interact with anything.

But when you're sharing communities, (like linking them in posts), you should use !community@instance (e.g. !fossdroid@social.fossware.space).

This is done so anyone from any instance can go to the community and interact with it, instead of being sent to lemmy.ca where they won't be able to interact.

If you're linking to a community outside of Lemmy, what's usually done is to link to the instance the community's in (e.g. https://social.fossware.space/c/fossdroid)

You should be able to see the ! link for most communities under the title, and you can right click copy it to get the link to the community in its home instance.

Ecosia only gets money from ads if you click on a link, so if you quickly scroll past them all the time you might as well leave uBO on.

They also said you shouldn't just click on ads randomly, it won't help.

They say

What if I never click on ads?

That's fine, every additional user makes Ecosia more attractive to advertisers. The best way to support our mission is to use Ecosia like you would use any other search engine.

Don’t be concerned if you rarely click on ads, simply by being an Ecosia user you’re adding to the size of our user base and turning an everyday action into something positive. The more people collectively that use Ecosia means we have a wider reach and ultimately can plant more trees.

iirc Google uses motion data to track if you're walking, biking, car, etc, so I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook/Meta did the same.

From what I understand, if we defederate from them, they can't see our posts either. See what happened when Beehaw defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works .

They could still be see the content by creating another instance, or by getting it from lemmy.ca directly. I doubt they'll do that though, especially with Lemmy. Lemmy communities look weird when seen from mastodon, and I doubt they'd look much better from threads.net.

Also I hate how they called it Threads. That's already a word used for other things in this space. Theres a thing called the threadiverse, and it doesn't include Facebook/meta/instagram threads?

You can also use ddg.gg which is even shorter!

And you don't even need to go the website homepage, just type something like ddg.gg/search promt and it'll give you results straight away.

This is great even if you use a different search engine because you can use !bangs without needing to go through another webpage.
