  • It wasn’t due to only one instance, but more so the way federation works. They got tired of seeing a few political posts when trying to explore what the federated feed has and I ended up doing some work to help them curate a personal feed and set up for things they enjoy the most.

    I’ve helped them curate what they want to see. But since there are so many copies of communities that have varying levels of activity that’s what also put them off of using it as a core platform.


  • For all my folks on android a really good chromium browser would be Cromite which is a fork of Bromite a really good privacy browser. I use it with Kagi as my search engine and it works so well for me.

    For FF, I used IronFox for a bit. But it had issues with using alternative search engines as defaults. But it’s still a solid browser.

    I recommend using the TOR browser as a heavy security measure and for privacy if you need it the most. Remember to change the defaults to the strictest security measures for the best privacy and protection from Malware (ads) and the works.


  • Honestly fragmentation is what keeps people that I recommend Lemmy away from it. They are used to the UX/UI doing most of the heavy lifting along with the more politically charged posts being there, my coworker who loves self hosting and tinkering tried to join. But was put off with how much more political things are on Lemmy and some Fediverse instances are and how hostile they can be with certain opinions. But I taught them how to curate their feed for more things tailored to their passions. But they’ve been on and off since there’s multiple versions the same community which feeds into the fragmentation issue. That is just a viewpoint from me, I’m still fairly new to the Fediverse and Lemmy. (Which I love how diverse it is and how passionate people are.)
