Not sure if this is the right place but I need to get off Twitter/X, I would love to use Mastodon but the hurdle feels bigger than Reddit to Lemmy. The Mastodon client feels uncomfortable to me for some reason, and I guess unlike reddit/lemmy where you have a group of people talking about specific topics, I am interested in following specific people on Twitter - a fraction of whom are on Mastodon. I don’t want to support Musk or his platform but I’m struggling to find a replacement.
I guess if he starts charging for it the decision will be made for me 😅
That’s what I thought, but not keen on it having ads/subscription model. I’d be happy to pay one off but that isn’t available (at least yet). I understand the guy needs to eat, but right now I for me personally there isn’t a value add vs. the FOSS clients.
I think the answers you will get from users who are on lemmy will tend to be positive 😁
You could transcode your downloads and store them at a lower quality if you want to save space. It is extra steps though.
Also used sync, maybe that’s why it feels nice to me too
I’m also using connect. I find the searching for communities to be terrible and a couple of other issues, but the bread and butter of reading posts, comments, commenting is very comfortable. I’d recommend it too right now.
+1 for duckduckgo, it removes all the built in trackers too and is built into their android app. I really like it.
Same, as much as I hope lemmy succeeds, I simultaneously hope that the API changes get reversed. Good job to those fighting for this over there
Which app have you been struggling with? Both Jerboa and Connect worked fine with different servers for me, I’m guessing others are fine too
Would you mind sharing some? 😃
There are some good Telegram accounts for this if you want an alternative to Twitter, perhaps there are fedi options too but I’m unfortunately unaware if so
Sorry to ruin the fun but it stands for “Personal Computer Memory Card International Association”
There is a joke around the name, as you said, though :)
