I disagree that Reddit has good content but even bad content is better than no content for communities that haven’t been built here yet

Seems like a pretty reasonable place to draw the line in the sand. Most people can’t safely manage their data and communication privacy because they aren’t tech people and as much as apple’s privacy stances are mostly marketing related. Out of the box and low configuration it’s more secure and private than using a stock Google device.

Encrypted at rest data storage with ADP, encrypted messaging, zero touch VPN with safari private browsing. It’s easy to recommend Apple products to privacy conscious but not tech literate friends. Or at least it was until the pivot to bend the knee to the current administration

Shoutout to !bikinibottomtwitter@lemmy.world by the way. You’ve made it to Friday Sailers!

Id like to give an honorable mention to Shanghaied (where they become indentured to the Flying Dutchman)

Probably either Bandgeeks or Hibernation

Maybe OP should touch grass if he wants to know what real people think

Lemmy already is a free speech safe place in that nobody controls it. If you find that people are interacting with you negatively, blocking you, or otherwise not agreeing with you; that isn’t censorship. It doesn’t matter how many times you post this question.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

Is it full of spam because it’s unmoderated or is it just empty. If it’s just empty but has a good amount of subs just start posting. A lot of times the community can police itself and if you need a moderator if it becomes more active then reach out the the instance admins that the community is hosted on.

At least the mask is off. Apple, Google, Meta. None of them care about anything but profit and there isn’t a value they aren’t willing to compromise on if it makes the line go up.

If it weren’t for social media, humanity would find another technology to lie and manipulate people for money and power.

Money and Power are what corrupts, not technology

Apollo was the best Reddit app on iPhone. Voyager continues its legacy

voyager is available as a web app if you’d rather use your browser vger.app

If people can’t understand what federation is then just send them directly to .world or lemm.ee or another big instance. If they have common sense then send them to join-lemmy and let them pick an instance. If someone is unable or unwilling to learn a very basic concept then they probably are not going to be a very good neighbor to have on the fediverse.

I agree that the discoverability of communities needs improvement. I think that most instances should add starter pack like features with the most popular communities for people to choose to subscribe to when onboarding new users.

In my opinion, finding the right and active communities to subscribe to is the biggest onboarding hurdle, not picking an instance. If picking an instance is a hurdle, that person wasn’t willing to try another site in the first place

If you are looking for an app, Voyager is the best in my opinion. It’s totally feature complete afaik

The people who aren’t here are making excuses to not be here. Otherwise they’d be here.

That being said the feud between world and ml users is pretty noticeable

The fediverse is ran by volunteers. Engagement is organic and isn’t trying to sell you something. Everything you see is there because someone thought it was worth sharing

Really anything is better than the default UI. The default Lemmy-ui is functional but not elegant.

Thanks for the information, I’ve decided to block this user based on the evidence. Hopefully the rest of the mods of that community will take that into consideration when judging whether that user can serve the community effectively as a moderator

I can’t tell you how to on-boarding process is these days but the UX of using Lemmy via Voyager is even better than using Reddit. In fact Reddit killing Apollo (the app Voyager is based off of) is the whole reason I’m here
