Note: I am primarily on Mastodon and have been on-and-off since 2017.

I don’t know how much success you will have in the short term trying to pull “field experts” from Mastodon to engage on Lemmy. The vast majority of current Mastodon users came from big Twitter and Tumblr waves, not Reddit. There are different expectations re: etiquette and moderation between the two platforms, and Lemmy doesn’t have some of the moderation / privacy / security features that Mastodon users like.

Plus, a lot (not all) Mastodon users dislike Reddit’s culture and unfortunately, Lemmy has seen a sharp turn to mirroring that culture. Even I have been increasingly turned off in recent weeks; it’s only because I’m on Beehaw that I’ve found the Lemmy experience bearable.

I had no idea Hexbear decided to start federating until I saw the shitshow that is that thread. So glad I never have to see their BS lol

We don’t need bots. It’s concerning some people think any community /needs/ bots. That type of infinite growth mentality is wack and I don’t subscribe to it. Like you, I block almost every bot I come across and my experience only continues to improve.

Yeeeah… It’s crazy how many quality of life features Misskey and Firefish have over Mastodon. I’m thinking about making the switch myself despite the big difference in UI.

To be fair, according to the article this project is less than a month old! I’m sure it will continue to improve.

Yeah. Beehaw isn’t on version 0.18 and Jerboa isn’t compatible with anything below that version, so I figured that’s why I went from no crashes to a bunch of 'em. I switched to Liftoff for now.

When I had an iPhone 3+ years ago, Apollo was the only way I interacted with Reddit. Once I switched to Android, I cycled through the choices before settling pretty happily with Boost. I don’t intend to access or use Reddit on mobile at all once June 30th rolls around, and after the CEO’s public comments since the protest, I don’t really want to access it on desktop either.

Man, fuck the haters. This sounds amazing and I’m seriously considering using it lol

Ohhh, I’m bookmarking this. This shit is cleeean

Can you explain how you use Pocket with your Kobo e-reader? Which model do you have? I have a Kobo Libra H2O and have never thought to use it for anything other than books I’ve checked out from the library.
