Dang . See my comment for a related response.

I recommend reporting the bug to the Sync devs to fix their Markdown formatting to improve feature compatibility between them and the Lemmy UI.

[mitexleo@buddyverse.one]

At this moment, yes! I'll operate an instance as soon as the code is public.

[mitexleo@buddyverse.one]

Revolt is the way.

[kalcifer@sh.itjust.works]

I take the issue of misinformation seriously.

[kalcifer@sh.itjust.works]

Interesting — I hadn't considered it that way.

Folks should also check out neodb.social . it's good reads, letterboxd, and steam reviews all in one.

[opinionhaver@feddit.uk]

Help with what?

[persnickitypenguin@lemm.ee]

Are any of these actually good?

I mean, aside from Lemmy. I tried Mastadon and no one was actually on it, seems like everyone is jumping to Bluesky.

[dharmacurious@slrpnk.net]

Only ones I use are YouTube and fb marketplace because Craigslist is totally dead here, but it's from an alt account I've never used for anything at all.

Yes, it isn't federated, but you can host your own server for your community. That way you are independent of any central organization.

[winterfrost@lemm.ee]

Fediverse is awesome!!

[temperche@discuss.tchncs.de]

People only move to Bluesky because they don't want to change their thinking (picking instances is hard!) and keep using "Twitter".

Bookface replicates the Facebook UI in Friendica

[chrislowles@lemm.ee]

Multi-protocol would be awesome, hopefully down the line it'll come back around to adding some basic AP integration.

I can vouch for Signal. I got my whole family out of facebook messenger to make a new place for family chat. Even my parents in their mid 60s had no problem changing.

[dqw4w9wgxcq@lemm.ee]

I can understand it. I was banned without reason from 3 of the top mastodon instances before even posting anything. Creating new accounts is a hassle, and it's easy to lose faith in the system when bans happen without reason and none of the instances cared to respond to my appeals. In heinsight, I'm sure the ban was due to my username looking like a hash, but I still find it crazy that the appeals were ignored.

I've seen some authors I like on Mastodon, like William Gibson. It's a quieter place but I like that about it, as someone who never used Twitter.

[teohhanhui@lemmy.world]

no one was actually on it

It might feel that way at first, but my Mastodon feed is very robust nowadays. You just need to follow more people.

[teohhanhui@lemmy.world]

Are you from the global south? Because it's still a common thing for SMS to be chargeable in many countries. And no one should be using SMS anyway. It's horribly insecure. At least use RCS.

[wheelcharartist@lemmy.world]

but it is not federated. that would be matrix
