I’d assume communities about Australian rugby (or what’s it called) would also be there.

Or may be they should be in a “sport instance”, so people who are not interested in sport can block whole sport instance? This makes a lot of sense for people who are not interested in given topic (for example sport, politics, cats, anime) - whatever geography or language is.

I see what where you can from, but I do not think that instance blocking and a strong geographical separation is a good solution. This, btw, will also enforce “US by default” pattern even stronger.

There is no rule that everything about Germany is hosted on feddit.de and everything what is hosted on feddit.de is about Germany. I have a english language GalaxyWatch community located on feddit.de.

TBH, I do not know what is the best way to handle these. As far as I understand, the idea of fediverse is that instance as such must not be important. And there are many instances which have no “self-vision” or it is based on other logic than geography.

Plugins to use depends on your needs. I would start with a problem: if you have a problem - check for plugin, but not other way around.

I want my obsidian notes to be future prove, therefore I only use plugins which help me to create or find notes.

On the article I did not found how these events were related.

For example: https://github.com/amirzaidi/lemmy?utm_source=pocket_mylist

https://app.thestorygraph.com/privacy But, what private info you are worried about liked/disliked books linked to a email?

The article is a bit strange. Two different things are mixed there - goodreads as such, and generic social media issues (unreasoable dislikes, paid reviews etc). I like goodreads and do not know if there is an alternative. However, the site and app are outdated as hell, and miss some obvious features. However, if I understood the article correctly, these issues were there before Amazon, Amazon simply did not invest in the site enough to solve these issue.

Limit READIND is something new. What a creative move!

Just a remark: “Whenever lemmy.ml or its devs do something stupid” admins or lemmy.ml ARE the devs of lemmy software. Moreover, they developed lemmy because they where thrown out of reddit for did something “stupid”.

Yes, I see it the same way. probably I misinterpreted the “block” language.

Are there any criteria one must meet to be allowed to use ActivityPub? And who defines them?

Nice 👍

Oook.

And you designed, developed, tested and published it in a less than 10 days? Your first android app? Really?

Mostly the same feeling. Was surprised how he “communicated” with mods, who helped Reddit to grow a lot.

Synology are very good and have good dedicated models for home usage. Way better than old PC. There are YouTube channels about nases, they compare different brands and models - check them.

“Cheap” is a relative term.

Not related to the trolls like comment you described, but lemmy really does not present it well.

In this Reddit post comments are very reasonable: https://www.reddit.com/r/Lemmy/comments/14cl0up/lemmy_is_way_more_complicated_to_use_than_reddit/
