Another alternative is Revolt. It’s open source and very similar to Discord, but it’s not federated, and thus not part of the fediverse.

I honestly think that has to do with the fact that everyone on the fediverse has the ability to immediately block bad actors and never see them again. If there’s enough brigading happening, that server can be defederated. Those same toxic people exist here, they’re just shunted to their own inaccessible islands.

That was the idea!

I named my cat Neko as a teen because of this program!

You’ve basically gotten your answer from the other comments, but you happened to pick the one fediverse platform that doesn’t really federate well. Lemmy (I believe by design) only federates with kbin and that’s about it. Kbin on the other hand federates with both Lemmy and mastodon/firefish (formerly Calckey).

And just a note, with the activitypub protocol, all platforms have the option to federate with every other activitypub platform, but not all choose to, and not everything at that. So while you can follow Mastodon/firefish from, say, Pixelfed, it’ll only populate the photos, not the text only posts.

If you really want to follow Masto/firefish, you’d be better off with kbin as I don’t believe Lemmy has that on their roadmap. Unfortunately, there isn’t a migration option yet, so you’d have to refollow the same communities all over again from kbin.

The official app, despite being in beta is really nice. @dansup has done an amazing job of it in a short amount of time.

If kbin.social does defederate from meta, you can migrate to another kbin server that hasn’t. That’s one of the nice things about the fediverse!

Yes I did. Good catch

Increased probability that anything I put down or toss on the bed, etc, will fall off and hit the floor instead. In reality, it’s probably just a poor sense of propioception.

What’s the eye contact one? And how do you teach speed reading?

What was the bet?

I joined Mastodon a couple of times in 2018 but could never make it stick. Coincidentally rejoined last year just before the Twitter implosion, and maybe it was all the new people I was able to start using it in a way that made sense to me and rather enjoyed it, despite not using Twitter.

As soon as the writing was on the wall about the API changes, I created an account on Lemmy and here. That was end of May and the big migration happened end of June.

So tl;dr, I’ve been aware of it since 2018, but didn’t actually start using it until end of 2022.

I want the 70s to come back in many ways. The colors, the cuts, the flair, the patterns, the length.

I don’t know what any of those terms mean, but I support you in this!

For imgur check out Catbox. I haven’t used it person, but it might be closer to imgur than pixelfed which is supposed to be an IG replacement.

I got their 12th gen diy last year and it was really easy to assemble. I was pleasantly surprised at how well thought out it was.

It really does. I think it’s one of the reasons the fediverse has remained a pretty positive place, without having to deal with all the ugliness all the time.

In the mastodon/Calckey world you can migrate your account on one instance to a new account on a new instance and all the people following you will transfer and automatically follow your new account. So you don’t have to be all “Hey moving to [xyz new instance] follow me there!”

That’s something that’s in the works for kbin and Lemmy some day

Remember to never feed the trolls. Block them and move on.

Oh that’s right she did! I’ve seen clips of Brennan before and have always wanted to watch, but never wanted another subscribtion… this might make me change my mind.
