If you’re on one of the bigger instances (lemmy.world for example) use https://lemmyverse.net/ to pick a smaller, less crowded instanceto call home.

I created an account on reddthat.com earlier today, and it’s way less laggy than lemmy.world (my initial instance).

Hopefully in time lemmy gains functionality thatmakis account backup/porting easy so moving instances in nbd.

I think the same. I wonder if lemmy (and other fediverse applications) will one day support ipfs. It would also be cool if cloud storage providers started to support the protocol so you could make your cloud storage (some of it or all) into an ipfs node.

There’s an experimental reddit alternative called plebbit that uses ipfs so people are exploring it

I’ve been trying to get my wife to use signal for ages and she won’t budge. She won’t budge because she doesn’t want to install another app that from her perspective does the same thing as texting (she’s not as privacy conscious as I am and doesn’t really care that signal encrypts missages). Lately I’ve been trying to sell signal as mre reliable since my work office has shit cell reception and once in a while messages will git completely lost in the aether. Signal is more featurefull than sms/mms imho.

My sister, her husband, and one of my friends use signal so there’s that.

Ultimately I’d probably prefer everyone use matrix but it’s not as accesible as signal.

Manjaro is my main distro too! The package manager is great!

Defederate!

On desktop, logged into whatever instance on which you have an account, select “All” (instead of local) on the main page. This will enable you to see all communities on all instances. Click the subscribe button on the right to subsribe to a community. Note that the community doesn’t have to live on your home server for you to subscribe. Federation makes it so that different instances can share information with each other. Not sureif theresyet a wayto do the above on any of the lemmy phone apps.

Edit: instance as in lemmy instance as in website. For example my home instance is reddthat.com.

It’s federated like mastodon/lemmy (and might interoperate but idk). It doesn’t require a phone number. I don’t use it a ton but like that it’s decentralized.

Privatized healthcare is immoral.

Yes! Including operating rooms! /sarcasm

Maybe there’s an instance out there more aligned with your views.
