Like Facebook, Reddit will probably just become a cesspool of conservative morons. I’m fine with them staying on Reddit. I don’t think it’s gonna “collapse” anytime soon.

They just haven’t announced their RTO policy yet

I wouldn’t recommend Brave for 3 main reasons:

1. Chromium-based

2. Funded by venture capitalists

3. Supported by crypto and ads

Unfortunately, Firefox and its forks are really the only alternative to Chrome.

Some websites don’t work with Firefox. That’s why I use Brave as a secondary browser.

You’ve never bought anything from Nintendo?

Lemmy is a federated network (part of the Fediverse), meaning that, for the most part, all instances are linked together and share most of the same information and comments. If people move from one instance to another then their experience will be almost identical.

If you already have an account on Lemmy.world then you can transfer your account information to an account on a different instance by using one of the many tools created by Lemmy’s users. The reason you would move away from Lemmy.world is that it helps decentralize Lemmy’s data, so that if one instance goes down it doesn’t have a large impact on others’ Lemmy experience.

If you are using an instance with only 10 users, then here are some issues you might run into: there are less users to update the instance’s ‘communities’ page, so you might have to add some communities to the instance manually; there aren’t as many people maintaining the instance, so it might not be as well-maintained as some larger instances; the server costs might not be worth hosting for just 10 users (donate to your host, if you have the means to do so). However, there are a lot of smaller instances that are just as well-maintained as Lemmy.world (like Midwest.social).

I hope this helped you understand Lemmy a little better.

I haven’t used them, but others are recommending these tools for transferring your user info:

No idea. But if I were to guess, it looks like ‘www.hexbear’ was added in July and then reposted in August in an attempt remove the ‘www’. I assume their intention was to follow the same syntax as everyone else, but they weren’t able to delete the original ‘www.hexbear’. Probably user error, but that’s just a guess.

I recommend people move away from Lemmy.world. Having ~28% of Lemmy users on a single instance is not good for the Health of Lemmy overall.

For those who want to move to a different instance, here is a link to Lemmy instances sorted by user count: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy

I moved to a different instance about a month ago, after lemmy.world got hacked. I haven’t had any issues on Midwest.social. I suggest other people do the same if they want Lemmy to be feasible in the long term. Get the fuck off Lemmy.world.

There is a 20-character limit. I tried.

My issue with Kbin is that it’s missing some of the communities from Lemmy. For example, h3h3productions@lemmy.world isn’t available on Kbin and I can’t add it. Also, it annoys me seeing empty image placeholders on every post. Last time that I used Kbin, it also kept showing error messages every couple minutes. Kbin just isn’t ready for mainstream adoption. Lemmy is.

Then 2023 has got to be a pretty good year for you too, with the releases of Final Fantasy 16, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Diablo 4. I have enjoying Diablo 4 and am really looking forward to Baldur’s Gate 3 (I haven’t played the early-access).
