How is it different?

Notion isn’t great for tasks but the all in one ecosystem for notes and databases is amazing

People used reddit chat?

Yeah but I guess I just don’t use podcasts on other devices. Too much headphone switching.

What’s wrong with Apple Podcasts? Just curious.

Cool, the community is big enough. I’d welcome more, but I like social media better when the techies are the majority.

Let’s keep using it while it costs investors money then bail for matrix as soon as they start making money! That’s how we fight capitalism.

I like upvotes, otherwise I’d have stayed on forums. It’s also one of the only ethical algorithmic sorting methods as long as you can whitelist your members.

Oh, now I just TikTok more lol

It just seems like the work for the mods is perportional to the user count. I can see maybe making exceptions to the membership fee for certain classes, just mention it in your application. Just a thought

We need to pay our mods! I saw you all make a significant amount per month as an instance from donations, let’s make it go up! maybe you should put a $1/month minimum on the instance for users? This is what will make lemmy better than reddit for sure.

That sounds useless

No that’s insane. And also all clouds are getting pricy. At work a single instance AWS RDS sql server is costing $250/month…

Get a raspberry pi and do everything at home.

All good questions! I’d also just like to know what a few of the “best” instances are to watch videos on. I don’t get discovery. They all have weird names.

Dude this is amazing! We should have more web-first mobile interfaces!

Matrix is also federated… having your own protocol is not related to the concept of federation, which is simply the property of having the ability to run your own servers and join a network of other servers which share a protocol.

It is federated, but I forgot it wasn’t activitypub.

What about twitters project?

Love it! Great work! I do think you could expand to users on some instances which might want to be something like “invite only”

Wow! Like the Simpsons!
