In the of 'spirit of doing my part', I'd love to develop third-party client and other resources to give the community the needed support. That's my part
I'm using liftoff to access lemmy, maybe you're interested
Hey, thanks! Just want I needed 👌 A much cleaner UI with better intuitiveness. Can't be more glad
There are quite a few in development, I am sure they'd appreciate help:
Phew! Made my work easier. Thanks for the pointers. I appreciate it 🤝
No worries. Happy it helped.
my biggest tip is that if you're on ios get wefef. great app that makes the lemmy experience beautiful and seamless.
when you read a comment from c/all from a community you want to join you can click on the community c/link to see all the posts from that community.
then use the three dots in the app at the top right to subscribe. soooo much easier than trying to search for a community from the web ux.
and i guess the other tip is to just manage your expectations - reddit wasn't built in a day and it'll take a while for all of our niche communities to create new homes here 🥰
Thanks so much. I'm an Android user though and I'm making use of Jerboa. It is not bad of an app. It needs some polishing here and there obviously but it's manageable. Grateful for the tips in searching and keeping track of comments and posts. I'd appreciate some help with URL's for posts. How do I go about it and what's their relevance?
I can only but imagine what the future holds Decentralisation and Web 3.0 seems to be the direction we are steadily heading though its development has taken a dip over the years.
I presume/hope that Web 3.0 has foundered on the rocks of the realisation that crypto, at least as promoted by evangelical techbros, is a Ponzi scheme. So we can leave a lot of that nonsense behind (allowing blockchain ideas to develop more naturally) and we can get on with building Web 4.0, of which I am sure the Fediverse will be a key part, especially with the monolithic, centralising monopolies of Web 2.0 are alienating a good slice of their most active members.
You've got a point there. Especially with cryptos and the present state of Web 2.0. What do you make of Meta's possible move to the Fediverse though? Though it hasn't seen the light of day yet, referring to Bluesky by Twitter, it holds promise. It seems like the big boys have some interest in this relatively virgin field. Makes me wonder why

The pessimistic take is that it's part of Embrace, Extend and Extinguish. As well as the examples there, look up how XMPP ran into problems.
The more optimistic take is that they feel that they can add sufficient features and convenience that they'll be able to poach Fediverse user's back into their now partly walled gardens. I like to think it will go the other way and the most active users will realise that giving all their stuff to a faceless megacorporation for free is a bad deal and they move over here. Easy for Twitter and Instagram users, not so easy for those on platforms that give you a cut of the revenue you generate for your overlords. Hopefully, alternate sources of revenue would make up for it but it likely won't beyond the big stars.
hi and welcome! i'm 1 month old here and also love it. great community, good conversation abd spez is slowly fading into the rear view mirror little by little each day.
Thanks for the warm welcome! Hoping to find my feet soon and testify just as you have. Any tips you could give?
Hello! Hopefully you can see this, I also just setup this instance. Fediverse for life!
Welcome to the fold! You seem a bit more versed in the terminologies and the register used here. I'd love to be taught the ropes to navigate my way around and make here home. I have a question on the URL's and their use and appropriation. Think you can help me?
Oh man, I wish I could help with URLs more. That was literally my first comment on the fediverse. I will figure it out and report back though!
Thanks for the feedback though! I'm also search and see what I come across. I'm seeing more of 'it being in development' with others that aren't straight to the point. On the look out! It's been a pleasure
