  • I am, and I’ve noticed one welcomed effect it has had in me.

    I’ll admit I had an unhealthy phone habit of mindlessly scrolling and Reddit nurtured this.

    As much as I’m excited about Lemmy - the barriers I’m finding of finding content that appeases my desire to scroll has greatly reduced my phone usage. Smaller user base, inability (for me anyway) to find communities and content through the search etc.

    Lemmy is just good enough for me not to go back to Reddit, but not matured enough to replace the addition.








  • I’m no authority on this subject. It’s just the first instance of federation I read about before Limmey etc.

    I believe there would be some integration from Limmey, to generate the keypair along with the user account. It could be up to 3rd party apps if they if they wanted to utilise this and allow for account management from the app. Or none at all and Lemmy could just allow for exporting your private key to use elsewhere.

    As for why, I guess you don’t have a great rationale. It just seems like a progression to me. If people are communicating with each other in this manner, why not allow for payment. A person could always share a public key, PayPal or bank details if they wished. This way would just be undoubtedly linked to the person you were considering paying.

    Thanks for that.

    Such a coincidence, I just found that instances page and was trying to search for rust@programming.dev in the search! I head you had to search for the community from your instance and subscribe from there.

    Thats interesting that ALL insrances are automatically federated.

    Thanks for the replies. I’ve gone and submitted a request to join.

    Quick, unrelated question if anyone is willing to answer:

    Can we “subscribe” to another instances community if lemmy.sdf.org hasn’t federated to it? I think so, but I’m not even finding it easy to search for other communities. I’m looking at programming.dev in particular.
