Right now

Yeah swear. Gardening would be fine if all I cared about was dirt and weeds.

Fucking me the change you wanna see. Invite your friends to use the platform and post your own shit

Open app on phone and search them up.

Or go to the instance I use and search them up

Oh neat I didn’t know that.

I feel with mastodon it’s different because instances don’t host communities to subscribe to. Just people to follow

Yes the choose was there but it automatically was filled with a default instance.

Idk I find Lemmy easier to use. I go to Lemmy site -> I use site

I go to reddit -> I get asked to turn of my VPN -> get asked to login -> get asked to download mobile app -> accept cookies -> I finally use site.

Damn reddit is so much easier

The irony of a self hosted community refusing to self host…

Honestly back during the API fiasco I was honestly expecting the mods their to make their own instance together. The fact they didn’t blew me away

That’s also reddit tho…

I completely forgot about this term. Sums up everything

Like I said in my comment tho. When I downloaded the app it automatically chose for me. I just made an account there and boom.

I guess but with mastodon I literally cannot imagine it getting any easier.

Download app -> make an account (the app will default to some instance, at least it did for me) -> use it exactly like Twitter.

I don’t understand why that’s always true but yes

Yeah I’m not either that’s not the point. The point is using an alternative that is open and can be self hosted.

I community dedicated and in love with the idea of self hosting their own software yet avoid a self hosted alternative to a hostile service…

I actually don’t think anyone in the subreddit is actually self hosting anything and if they are the irony is heavier than actual iron.

Give me a service worth paying for and I’ll watch there.

• comments
• watch together
• rating system
• multiple servers
• subtitles
• automatic op skip
• watch list
• large library

All features I get for free. Why would I pay for a service that offers only some of those.

For me it’s definitely Lemmy. I don’t like the microblogging format and never have. I’ve always used forums and then reddit.

The fediverse just works so well with Lemmy I think. It’s so fun seeing new communities from instances I’ve never heard of. I think this format is perfect for the fediverse

Add an equivalent to multireddits. I miss that so much

This looks so nice and very promising. You’ve raised my hopes

Old discord when it first came out was nice
