I would ask for a citation, but I don’t even want it.

This IS a shower thought; it’s just one that should’ve remained one.

Exactly. That’s why I tend to always stick to the Fediverse, even when newer, trendier options pop up (like Bluesky).

As someone who ditched Reddit a couple of years ago in favor of Lemmy, I feel a bit vindicated. I thought my “dump Reddit” mentality was maybe unjustified, but… here we are. No regrets.

Oh this is nice. Thanks for sharing!

Just wait until EA starts doing drive-bys.

Currently using Arctic for iOS. I was using Voyager for a while, but the Arctic dev (devs?) are so good about bug fixes and adding new features, I had to switch.

Ah, I see what you’re saying. Under normal circumstances, I would suggest to new users to signup on the “flagship instance”, but in Lemmy’s case… nah.

To be perfectly honest, I’m not certain what content I’m not seeing because, well, I haven’t seen it 😅. Some instances seem to do a good job of only blocking content from notoriously bad sources.

I assumed (probably incorrectly) that users would be visiting Lemmy via apps, so the UX would depend on which app they used.

I don’t know. I have a soft spot for Lemmy. The interactions here seem more genuine less about updoots.

Dumb question, but does the page source show where the video is contained?

Usually, I’m on mobile, so either reader mode or Hide Distracting Items.

The rest of the time, I just find another source.

TIL I contribute absolutely nothing to the betterment of the Fediverse.

A genuine family tree.

Okay, this is awesome.

Brb, grabbing some toaster leavins.

This.

Plus if I’m being honest, he’s a dick. My company had to have several meetings with him re: app development, and he just lectured us.
