Slick! My feedback:

• Consider respecting the user agents color scheme preference (I like to have light mode on day and dark mode on night — don’t overwrite that without my permission if you already have both themes).
• Contrast is too low in the dark theme and way too low (basicly unusable) in the light theme.
• Consider increasing font size, esp. for code blocks
• For me it’s wierd that posts are kinda centered but not really. Since most (not all) languages are left to right, I’m used to start looking on the left side, not the right. Consider centering the post properly.
• Consider making the hover animations faster.
• In dark mode, the icon button hover text is black on dark gray and therefore basicly unreadable.

What is this dot between the three-dot menu button and the time stamp?

Personally, I don’t really like that the post is displayed transparently over the post list. This makes it a lot harder for me to focus on the content. Maybe I’m not the target group for a design like this.

It did take forever when I tried the last time. Literally hours.

Just installed NixOS with Wayland and Gnome the other day on my laptop with Nvidia card. I had to tune the config a bit, but it works flawless now – notably also with the offload command. That’s fine for me though because it saves considerable energy if the GPU only runs on request.

Apostrophe. The perfect, slick markdown editor.

uBlock Origin would be my number one, but they don’t take donations. So my list would roughly contain:

• Organic Maps
• Thunderbird
• Internet Archive
• Codeberg

I’d like to donate to Firefox as well, but Mozilla spends too much for the wrong things and AFAIK it’s not possible to only support Firefox development.

If it doesn’t suit you, that’s fine. But “mostly hyped BS, fails to deliver at every turn” makes it a bit too simple, no?

I’m very happy with my personal instance. I use it for file sync and todo list.

Nextcloud has an app which allows people to book time slots in your calendar. I don’t recall the name right know but you’ll find it in the Nextcloud app stoee.

Speaking of scale only, bigger instances are certainly better. More and smaller instances increase the coordination overhead significantly (remember that your instance saves and serves a copy of any remote post. In the extreme case this means every server needs to have a copy of all other servers. Also, the more instances, the more peers each server has to ask for an update.

Many small instances have other benefits though, among them higher resillience and independence.

Yup, good perspective on Zootopia… uhm, the Fediverse.

There are terms for this. The communities are called communities and not Sublemmies. And Lemmings is a very specific term which excludes all the other services in the Fediverse which can interact with Lemmy communities. I prefer an inclusive term like Fedinauts or Fedizens.

I think you need to subscribe (from your instance) to the community first or did you do that already?

Then you should be able to select the comminity when creating a new post.

I want SSO in the Fediverse too. Each instance should include an identity server which can be used to sign in to other instances (if they don’t block you). That would be awesome.

I’m not one of the new users but I’m happy because the Lemmyverse feels much more alive now compared to a year ago. ☺️

Also Gitea is working on federation support using ActivityPub.

I agree that mentioning them is not helpful if the question explicitly is about WhatsApp vs. Telegram. However, Signal surely is simple enough that it can be used by anyone capable of using WhatsApp. It free, encrypted and a lot more trustworthy than any F**book app ever will be.

This is what happened to Gab. IIRC Truth Social never federated at all.

Yes, I think so. It could. Is it likely to happen? No!

I see a distributed architecture central to have a “public space” online that works in the long term. The communication infrastructure shouldn’t be controlled by any single party.

However the way people work and the way capitalism works, it’s utterly difficult for something like ActivityPub to become the standard. F**book joining in frightens and encourages me at the same time.

Side note: It’s much better to use SVG for icons than icon fonts. They are heavy and some browsers/extension block third-party fonts and the user won’t see anything.
