A few things I really liked about this episode:

First, is good to see Lemmy being mentioned before Mastodon when the theme is Fediverse. Everybody here knows the “Fediverse is not only Mastodon”, but it is very very good for it to be mentioned outside of our “bubble”.

Also, Jakob is the second LMG crew member I have confirmed to be in the Fediverse, Emily Young being the first one ( @[email protected] go follow her). But Emily always was the “weird person that uses Linux” in the videos, so it was not a surprise for me she was using “alternative social media”. Jakob was a surprise for me. Is he a weird and funny person? He is! But I didn’t get the “Fediverse vibe” from him. Which is good. Very good.

Again, is good to see the Fediverse start to show in (a little) more mainstream media. In such positive way.

Jakob, I have a feeling you’re reading this comments. I love your work, good to see you here. Hope you bring more people to the Fediverse. Keep being you.

No worries. You’re not the first one who went in this rant, and I ensure you won’t be the last.

I agree with you. Sometimes we all feel like beta users of this fairly new platform. And much can be improved before “mainstream” adoption. But let me see if I can help you wrap your head arround some of your concerns.

About you not be logged on Lemmy.ml, I think it helps if you think of “Lemmy” the same as “Email with votes”. You don’t expect to be logged on you Gmail account when you access Hotmail.com, but you still can read messages from @hotmail.com accounts, even as those two sites are managed by different companies / entities.

Transfer account is something lacking, yes. And I think its a feature on the backlog for lemmy devs, cause other similar services has it, like Mastodon.

UI should not be a different instance, and I don’t think it is. I have an account on sh.itjust.works and I can use the same login and password on oldsh.itjust.works. So if you have problem with old.lemmy.world, you have all the rights to complain with whatever entity is running your instance.

Well… That’s it. I hope that helps. If you have any further questions, I encourage you to send a message to any of lemmy.world’s mod or adm. Different from reddit, the adms of lemmy tend to listen to its users.

Not in the default web app. Lemmy provides an API endpoint, so third party clients can list liked posts.

I use Boost and it shows me on my profile screen.

• NL 🇳🇱: https://social.overheid.nl

I’m just waiting for the president of my country to start federating, then I can follow him from Mastodon and delete my Threads account.

I see it as a positive thing

+1 to ZorinOS recommendation.

It’s beautiful, and has a lot of “oh, you came from Windows” user interactions. Like how it recommends similar programs from the store if you run a Windows installer, or installs and configures wine if you still want to run the .exe.

I use it myself even as an “older” Linux user.

Perfectly balanced, as everything should be

I feel there are a lot of philosophical and practical similarities between the FediVerse and the open source operating system world. That’s why a lot of people tend to be on both.

The thing about the FediVerse is that you are the only responsible for your feed. Try looking for different content, different people, or different instances, to find more content that resonates more with you and follow those accounts and communities.
