I found it complicated at first (didn’t know which instance “will last”, where to register to not lose anything when instance admin decide to turn it down), but now it’s going good. We are missing mobile apps though.
What’s are your thoughts about Lemmy/kbin?
I don’t care about what instance will last too much. I’m not that active contributor so if my comments/topics will disappear the world will not end. I always can create a new account on another server.
I chose Lemmy for now because Kbin seems to be not mature enough. I don’t like some background of Lemmy devs that I was reading about, but I’m still not sure what make of it… Does it matter much? I support freedom of speech, and from my perspective people can have opinions very different from mine and still provide great value for community.
I’m currently exploring available communities and subscribing to stuff that I was subscribed on Reddit. Considering creating some communities too, but not sure how that works yet and how much involvement it will need.
Regarding software - using Jerboa. Overall very usable, but there are some UI issues that are irritating.
@pound_heap@lemm.ee – out of interest, what have you read? 👀
Lemmy developers have communist figures as avatars. They manage the lemmy.ml instance, which other instances tend to defederate.
That should not prevent people from using a platform they don’t manage (Lemmy.world or Beehaw) and they can’t influence in anyway. The code is open source anyway.
Yup, that what other person replied. There was a post on r/privacy which I cannot look up today due to the boycott - it was about Lemmy developers being very radical communists.
The software being open source makes this less concerning, but in case original devs start doing something crazy it will damage the project significantly.

It’s not about being left. It’s about praising Mao and Stalin and removing content that criticizes the CCP.
