Oh, looks like I’m switching instances.

MacOS.
Prefer Linux but I like the Apple hardware so I’m giving it a try.
Actually we still can add posts and comments, but just users from our instances and the ones we federate with can see it.
I’m a little confused myself as a Lemmy.world user. I was able to leave a comment on a behaw technology forum and got upvotes on it.
This whole Japan nuclear wastewater thing going around the news has me shaking my head.
The word nuclear in general just scares people.
What you’ll likely see is the button links to a centralized service that sends you to the Lemmy instance you are logged into
So the button would never link directly to any Lemmy instance but some central server that sends you to your own instance.
Who would run that server? Probably the same guys who develop these button integrations.
Email is the one thing I don’t bother self hosting.
You need to use an existing host with reputation or most of your emails will end up in junk or be outright blocked.
What’s to stop someone from just not checking the ‘bot account’ option for their bot though?
I showed my friend all of the privacy problems with threads and his response was ‘I don’t care, they already have everything anyway’.
I told another friend and their response was ‘I don’t care if they have my data, it’s not much use to them and it doesn’t have any effect on me’
The world is hopeless.
If they didn’t get paid by Reddit they likely sold it on the dark web.
I upvoted. Many apollo users don’t know abut wefwef yet.
You should have picked a more descriptive title though.
Damn, 20k subs already!?!
I could have sworn it was 7k like 3 days ago.
Uh no, you can’t. It’s like any game with DRM.
You can’t play most games on steam without logging in at least once.
Just use TLLauncher.
It really boils down to availability. A VPS will usually be more reliable than a home network.
For 99% of personal use though a home network behind a dynamic DNS service will be more than good enough.
I feel like the EEE attack is inevitable at this point.
Why else would they even be willing to federate?
They saw the threat that decentralized non-profit social media is and want to kill it before it has a chance.
All Lemmy servers and especially the largest ones need to defederate from it immediately.
Just give it time, someone will make a native wefwef clone. It’s open source after all.
Hell, if there’s no native app in a year, I’ll contribute to making one happen.
I would like you to point out some example features that can’t be done on here though that exist in memmy? The hiccups on here are not due to it being a web app.
I pay them nearly $100 a month for internet. They can get fucked if they want to dictate what legal things I do with it.
Implementation quirks.
I find even across instances in the same app, the content can change.
One of the growing pains, it will be solved with time.
Another Pro tip:
If you really want to self host and have good internet speeds, then just use a dynamic dns service to point a domain at your home network :)
It’s free minus the power costs. Sure you won’t be able to guarantee availability but for most personal(and friends/family) use it’s more than good enough.
I say this because the reason a lot of people use VPS is because their ISP won’t give them a static IP. You don’t need a static IP.
I keep upvoting people by accident trying to go back lol.
This feature can’t come fast enough, for someone with small hands I can’t reach the top left of my screen easily.
Given their post on mastodon saying they won’t defederate, I would bet money they took that meeting and signed an NDA.
Maybe they even are getting some funding out of it.
This is all speculation of course, but if they don’t deny it then I think it’s pretty likely.
