Subs are kinda like tip, except you get something in return. Usually its emotes you can use on any stream on twitch. Some streamers can make other stuff like sub only discord channel but its optional.
Gift subs are exactly the same except you give the benefits to some other chaters.

YSK: While you're on Lemmy/Kbin/Fediverse, you're not "the product" but you're also not "the customer".

Not really? If would be the same but called "not enough instances" if i understand correctly.

Strange. I remember someone advertised lemmy to me as reddit alternative. Turns out, its place for circlejerk and being afraid of facebook.

Depending on the definition: twitch/youtube. If you somehow dont count both then none, just using whats handy at the moment.

No, i mean not all, but local from other instances. I dont remember why i needed it, probably discussion of more specialised instances out there. Most down to earth example i can imagine now would probably be trying to find instance on your local language (other than english, ofc).

Thats because some anti-war people have unrealistic expectations to what they consider support. Not enough to just not like it. Anything less then beaten up by police and lost yout job on protest is not enough. Hell, before Navalny got to prison there were rumours, every now and then, that he is kremlin project to divide opposition, so the barrier to count as antiwar could be even "actively tortured in prison" for some.
When in reality 75% of the population dont give a fuck and wont care both if putin conquers europe or if they are separated from moscow by 4 new country borders.

Yeah, probably. Still hope it will be an option in the future. I think the biggest jump in popularity gonna heppen when there is gonna be more developed apps for browsing it, considering that some QoL problems could be fixed by those developers.

Lemmy/Fediverse Terms Explained
Regarding your own instance to watch whole fediverse: on other thread someone was asking why feeds are different on different instsnces, and someone answered that you only see communities from other instance if someone from your instance is subscribed to that community. Was it wrong?

Whole idea is weird and as of now its lacking features. Like no ability to look on the other instance local feed without registrating there (at least not in apps i use). Also needing to type whole adress with instance name if you want some community from other instance is unhandy.
Also, as far as i understand, there can be the same communities on different instances, so you could subscribe to, idk, cat community on lemmy.ml, but not see anything from cat community on lemmy.world. If its true its kinda stupid, i think there should be a way to associate comunities across fedarated instances.
Hell, even registration is kinda messed up. As lemmy.world shown, you easilly can sign up on overpopulated instances which would drop several times a day. Not sure, it probably fixed for now, but that was a problem when i started.
So far i like the idea and want it to succeed and become popular. But with how elitist people here are usually towards users from other platforms and with overall roughness it kinda seems unlikelly. Maybe it will change when current apps get better, or reddit app developers make versions for lemmy, idk.

Dont worry. Its entertaining enough for me that people were hyping lemmy and fediverse so much, and it turns out its all gonna crumble on itself the moment anyone big will join the hype lol. Makes it seem like it forever will be obscure place at the corner of the internet with decade old memes and circlejerk how good it is that nobody knows about them.
Dont worry, i know that facebook is shit. Allthough your second link is bullshit too, considering that it boils to "how dares facebook not being more initiative to censor itself". Itsjob of tge government to enforce censorshipon facebook, not the other way around. Still, most criticism is focussed around privacy and if people are afraid for their data, they shouldnt post it on public forums in the first place.
Wonder whats next gonna be the danger for fediverse? Maybe lemmy.world getting too big? As you see maybe you already cant trust people who run it, maybe instances should defederate from it while its not too late?
