So, like flickr?

that’s a whole other kettle of fish

I will use that liberally from now on. An upvote from me.

Yes, people very much misunderstand thus stuff.

For the social part of the Snapchat, it has a couple of features. Like locations, stories, streaks (which a few in my uni was too much into for some reason). And, let’s be honest, Snapchat was used a lot for sending nudes back in the day, though I doubt OP was asking for that feature.

It’s still in the early days of development and you will probably have to wait a bit for full AP implementation.

If you want quote post right now, without having to wait for mastodon to implement it, why not just use misskey or any other *key fork.

Organic map is on f droid

I would really love a more globalized development for misskey, but it is easier said than done. Majority of bug reports, release notes and even some comments are written in Japanese (yk kana/Kanji). It would take a lot more than translating the documentation. It is hard to even report a bug (without worrying if there is a bug report already present in Japanese) let alone fix one.

I really had no idea. Thanks for letting me know.

Yeah. The *key instances are fun to use. It doesn’t feel like using a business email.

Also, check out https://piefed.social/ - it’s not quite ready for the masses yet as it lacks many features, but damn it is so welcoming and friendly and fills me with hope for our future when I see those

Yes. Many people are too hung up on mastodon and lemmy to see that there are other software in fediverse. And if lemmy UI doesn’t quite work for one, they should try a different one. There’s no need to stick to the most popular software.

As for communities, there’s not much one can do about it.

Ok yes. I just checked and the new version is very fast compared to the version lemdroid uses.

The information density in the UI is crazy high.

Lemdro.id uses Photon as it’s default UI, but it’s incredibly slow and sometimes it doesn’t even load properly. As much as I love the polish, I wouldn’t recommend it as default UI. Using photon as an alternative UI is much better option.

Firefox browser, misskey as my SNS. On Android: Komikku (a tachiyomi fork), element X matrix client; on my desktop: rnote for note taking, fractal matrix client.

For some reason I read the first part of the article in 60s news commentator voice in my head.

Also

For those potential members who’ve somehow figured out what they need from a server, it’s hard to understand which servers actually offer those things, either from outside the fediverse itself or from inside it but without a strong network.

Really important point.

Embedded videos are particularly annoying.

Well hashtags clearly don’t work quite as well for discovery, which is why there is demand for starter packs. But what happens if other backends don’t implement it? Then people on the other instances, that is not mastodon, doesn’t have a way to opt out.

I personally prefer hashtags over this. And given how liberally some admins block and defederate other instances I will stick with hashtags in the near future.

Surprisingly, I mispronounce it exactly like that.

not really. honestly never been much active social media. I will say this though. I was on reddit for a little while and that was bad. Never again will I go back.
