Have strong opinions, but I welcome any civil fact-based disscussion.
At the top menu bar there should be Create Community
button or you can go to the direct link. If you don’t see it then you instance has probably disabled the functionality.
You can mention Mastodon users, but you can’t follow them from Lemmy.
And I support Mozilla goal of creating something independent, but I also don’t like their engine. Everything using Blink is not automatically a bad thing.
They are pointless, just ignore them.
10€ and tipping in not a thing. You would get a long stare if you asked about it.
Only the case for subscribers. Upvotes/downvotes are shown from all instances that YOUR instance is linked with.
Same it true the other way. Federation only only works with text and images are pulled from the original instances and there seems to be an issue with that.
A feature I found particularly interesting is the ability to view community posts which I haven’t seen in any other frontends.
Invidious supports community posts.
There are a few Firefox forks:
And then there is Brave which I find smoother than Firefox, but that’s just me.
I don’t know the specifcs, but there are strict rules and requirements on how the data has to be stored if you process any of it, then there is complience issues with laws like GDPR and you have to be a registered entity as far as I know. It’s just too much legal paperwork for most FOSS projects.

Story of open source. Everyone needs to create their own version if even one thing is not to their liking. 🤣
Signal is great for one on one conversations or small groups. Matrix is better served for communities as federation offers censorship resitance, but they collect some metadata that Signal doesn’t. They do have encrypted DMs, but it’s less user friendly than Signal and if your partner is not tech savvy, I would go with Signal.
Signal has 2 points of concern:
I use both for different groups of people. E.g. My Matrix account is publically listed on my Lemmy account, but my Signal one is only given to people I trust to some level.
Either a typo or stylistic choice.
