Lemmy has been the best fit for me so far, and tbh the Firefox browser experience has been way better than Jerboa. Following links to other instances still isn't intuitive, but i couldn't figure out how to do it at all on the app.

I don't think the lemmy subreddit clones have the same mods as the ones on reddit - people are just firing them up.
Disabling downvotes in brigade-prone or support communities makes sense, but I wish more instances had downvotes enabled. Sometimes I see posts giving incorrect information or just incredibly bad takes that don't necessarily reach the level where mod intervention is required.
I recently found out about the Seek app on android - it can id plants using your camera. Useful for figuring out rando unlabeled plants on sale at my grocery store ๐ชด
Tbh I don't mind proprietary apps, so long as the user experience is good.
I don't mind the ui nudges to buy nitro - the server costs have to come from somewhere - but if discord starts seriously serving ads, I'm gone.
I've just been opening links in new tabs for this reason.
So many tabs... ๐ฅฒ
