Don't worry about the other posters trying to dissuade you from lemmy.ml. It's a very chill instance. It gets flack because it is run by and has a majority leftist base, but that shouldn't be an issue if you consider yourself a progressive. The "tankie" slurs are frankly b.s. and disingenuous. I wouldn't call the sub "pro-Russia/China" by any means, the users are anti-imperialist and realistic in the nature of US propaganda depicting other states as bogeymen. Just because you question the mainstream US-centric narrative doesn't mean you're shilling for China/Russia etc. There's a lot of liberals and centrists, that despite their progressive sentiments they may hold, are still very beholden to the narrative of American exceptionalism in a lot of ways.
Guessing it's coming from shitjustworks people. Politics mod over there doesn't like anyone pointing out the Dems weak ass "resistance" even if you are lauding another Dem(Rep Green) at the same time lol.

As much as I love Sync, it has been almost a year since the last update.
I'm using Connect (on Android, dunno if it's on iPhone tbh), just had an update yesterday. Very solid interface, reminds me a bit of bacon reader

What happened 2/12?
Hey everybody! This guy doesn't know about 2/12! Let's all laugh at him! Ha ha ha ha ha!
.........I have no idea. Does ANYONE know what happened?

I'm the "9" of the 90-9-1 rule (aka: mostly comments)
hope that counts
Who has time to put in the effort to post posts?

What happened 2/12?
It was President's Day in the US, but I don't know why that would impact Lemmy.

How was that process? Is your wife French? I wish I had dual citizenship anywhere.
It was not as big a deal as you might think. In order to get a visa that we can renew each year, we basically had to prove these things:
-We have valid passports and identities
-We are not going to take a French person's job
-We have health insurance (so that we don't end up stiffing the French healthcare system)
-We won't be homeless on arrival in France
-We have enough savings to support ourselves for the time of our Visa's validity (because we're not allowed to work for a French based company while we're here, see second point)I've been saving 50+% of my gross pay for the whole time I was working, and my wife is doing the same, so we had plenty of money available to buy plane tickets, pay lawyers to advise us, buy health insurance, and get help with the application process. Honestly, the lawyers were not needed and we're very expensive I would not use lawyer again. I used them because we needed to get out fast and I wanted to make sure that the first application would be successful. The instructions on the website for the French government were clear and straightforward and we could have done the application ourselves without major difficulty. There were even versions of the application forms available in English with checklists of documents to bring.
My wife is not French, but my mother, my stepfather, and my three step-siblings are. Unfortunately my mother naturalized here after I could have gotten French citizenship through her (I was 23 when she became a French citizen).

Just got so sick of reddits smarminess. It’s also just astroturfed corporate BS at this point anyway.
I’ve been boycotting Amazon for over a year (and quite frankly won’t ever stop), won’t shop at Target and won’t visit super corporatized social media.
Reddit has proven time and time again they’re just a whipping boy for corporate interests.
Yeah I knew it was bad but this last round of suppression was the final straw.

I didn't realize that was only 50 thousand users. Muddy have been only 5000 in 2023 during the API Exodus.

Lemmy was for while like 50% bots, which is why you see random shifts generally.
Could be something else though
