Yes that’s true and I’m sure it isn’t that bad. I just don’t like the way they are trying to force their browser on everyone which is why I try to avoid Edge as much as possible. It’s kind of a personal principle now. Microsoft likely doesn’t care about that though since, as you said, they are successful with that technique.
This definitely has some Microsoft Edge vibes to me.
Same. I’ll definitely stay here.
I really hope that won’t be the case. So far I like Lemmy and the vibe here a lot and am not afraid to comment somewhere which was the case on Reddit. I hope it stays that way, guess we’ll see that after the blackout.
It’s a first for me. I wanted to join Mastodon but didn’t know what instance to choose and was generally confused about how everything works so I didn’t create an account. With Lemmy it was different since I really wanted to join. So I took my time to figure everything out and it is way less complicated than I initially thought. But I get why it might seem confusing at first, especially subscribing to communities on different servers.
Same. I think this might also be one of the reasons people join larger instances (besides not knowing where to go). At least it was like that for me. I really hope we see that feature sooner than later. Maybe I’ll try setting up my own instance when I have enough time to figure out how that works.
Would be really cool! Until then I enjoy Lemmy as it is. I’m happy to have found this place including the awesome community here.
I also wouldn’t want them merged. But I would find it great if I could kind of curate my own “front pages”. E.g. creating a page for myself called “Technology” and adding all the tech communities that I follow to it so that I can see all posts in one place.
I feel you. On Reddit I was always afraid to get 1000 of comments telling me I’m stupid or how could I do xyz. I really like it here on Lemmy, everyone is just so welcoming and not at all mad that so many of us (former) Redditors are joining.
I already deleted all my comments and posts and when the time comes and RIF is down I’ll delete my whole account.
Same here, I’m glad Jerboa exists. Otherwise I wouldn’t even know if my account is active yet since I’m currently unable to log in on the desktop version of the instance I’ve chosen. Besides that and figuring everything out I enjoy it here so far.
Edit: Seems that a blank space after my username was the problem. Now everything works just fine.
