indicator of whether a server auto-approves account creation

When you go to sign up there is a note that says you must fill an application and be approved.

Check the “Open Signups” column at this website to find out which servers are auto-approve and which are not.

I’m sorry but I think doing things this way will help combat account spam and bots, especially early on.

My college version of the creation was can of tuna + Kraft Dinner. Lazy, relatively cheap, and surprisingly good. I called it the poor-man’s tuna casserole.

Yeah Reddit was chock-full of cat subreddits, having those kinds of communities would greatly increase the appeal of Lemmy beyond tech, FOSS, politics and gaming.

GTAV if you count the time spent AFK grinding virtual cash… (1200hrs total)

Age of Empires 2 DE for most active time. (532hrs, plus an additional 216hrs with HD version)

July 1st, I saw the Apollo App thread. I suppose following in Imgur’s footsteps, sexually explicit content seems to be going for sure. The other feature changes also seem to be specifically targeted to kill 3rd party apps. Maybe some apps can be reconfigured to allow inputting individual API keys per user, because Reddit is making the excuse that 3rd party app API keys are making too many requests (without accounting for the amount of requests per user)

Well, I guess I have a month to convince ppl on Reddit to join Lemmy.

Good tech, blockchain is meh, search results are OK but not great, but yeah way too much far-right stuff for me to stick around much.

I queue up a video or two on Odysee of a channel I like, then once those two finish the autoplay instantly takes me to AMERICAN CHANNEL where some guy goes on about how the world is out to get them. I would much rather auto play to something on the same channel or at least something from the same genre, the same language or at the very least some similarity in title.

I dislike the current direction Reddit is going with their focus on business, preparing for IPO, constantly making the new Reddit app and website shittier, stuffing ads in more places (luckily I don’t use the official app) and removing useful ones (compact mode, pushshift).

If Reddit API access for 3rd party applications goes away as I’ve heard might happen in June, I’m dropping Reddit pretty much completely. There was a lot I liked about Reddit but this is a deal-breaker; I’m not using their broken, buggy, ad-filled, data-sucking app.

When I was in university I made my own creation: Poor Man’s Tuna Casserole. I’m a terrible and lazy chef.

Step 1: Make a batch of Mac-n-Cheese (KD or offbrand KD if you’re Canadian).

Step 2: Add a can of tuna (or a portion of a can if you are poor 😉)

Bon appetit!

Would people be interested in a mobile app that could properly integrate all of these?

I like your idea. It is important to reflect as a starting point that although the platforms are compatible via ActivityPub or other federated protocols, the whole reason why they are separate platforms is that they are for different use cases.

Examples: A peertube user would want to watch videos and only comment on the video occasionally, a Mastodon user would want person to person conversations, a Lemmy user would want topic-based discussion with less emphasis on who they are talking with, etc.

Making an app that caters to all the different use-case groups seems like a difficult task to me.

With the negative stuff said, I do think this idea has some good potential. If a Lemmy client had seamless PeerTube video or other service integration that would be very interesting and cool. If there was some hybrid kind of app that gives a unifying look to different ActivityPub-compatible platforms like Lemmy and Mastodon, that would also be cool and allow for easier cross-Fediverse access, opening up a lot of possibilities.

The number of Mastodon users surprised me as well.

It certainly makes sense as people are looking for an alternative to a Melon Husk-led Twitter.

I do have confidence in the current Mastodon “leadership” to allow its growth to benefit all of the Fediverse including Lemmy.

In short: Came for the Reddit, stayed for the Fediverse.

Reddit was down for several hours a month or so ago, then the new site was back up much faster than old.reddit.com and apps. That clued me in to the fact they appear ready to shut down the API even before any announcement, so I made a Lemmy account then and there. So right now is the transition period for me between the announcement and when free Reddit JSON API access gets cut off.

Before I joined Lemmy I heard about Mastodon, looked through Peertube a bit in passing.

You might have been looking for Shreddit… Here’s one repository that appears to be up to date.
