Hi!

because it’s how you show people “you don’t need to subject yourself to the whims of a Nazi billionaire or the greedy pigboy aping him”.

I still think it’s better done on the case-by-case, and instance basis, as mentioned, Don’t talk about fediverse was realy meant as a provocation (and it’s working :P), I just think we would do better shifting the topic of conversation from technicals and infrastructure and apis to communities and content, because to be honest I believe it is already here.

I think it’s important to be aware of a few options, and be able to answer questions about apps, but I fully agree we shouldn’t advertise the Fediverse based on apps. Specially since you can always check the content without one, even from a phone.

💯 Absolutely. Apps are amazing, but people don’t want the app because it is shiny, but because of what it can give them. Community, topics, ‘content’.

people eventually migrate from the general purpose instances to more specific ones, as they find their own homes here.

I believe it is already happening, honestly, and I love it!

@Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com does this have all the comments from cross-posts in various communities? That is amazing!

Honestly? It is not a problem I have, and I’m really happy about that :P But yes, I think it’s very handy to have a quick reply like that, but as you probably already suspect, I avoid general meta topics like that, simply because I don’t really have much interest in Reddit itself :)

Yes, apps are awesome way of interacting with the community! But I agree with @some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org that we would do better showing people what’s up before asking them to download an app and make an account :)

That is absolutely amazing, and a step in good direction, I hope it gets wider adoption and that the PieFed creator’s pillow is always cool, and that he finds an unexpected fiver in his pocket every week for the rest of his life 🙏

Can you elaborate on this?
