Where can we donate?

I'm sorry if this has been asked often before, but it seems like the best app so far and I'd really like to encourage more features and bug fixes.

+$50 if I can donate with BTC or XMR (kraken takes almost no fees and supports so many cúrrencies)

It is not my intention to start a flame war. Please refrain. I just want to help out.

[NEW LEMMY USERS] LEMMY TOPICS - HELP, TIPS, AND TRICKS! Enhance your time here 🤙

I'm still a Lemmy noob myself but I wanted to give a few tips/hints to make using Lemmy/kbin/fediverse easier.

Note; I'm putting this together quickly and there may already be other, better guides and help pages, so please link them in the comments if you know of them!

1. You don't need multiple accounts on different Lemmy instances

(instances are servers, they are different Lemmy websites. lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are 2 different Lemmy instances)! Federation means the servers talk to each other and show your messages to people on other instances.

2. Remember, This is all BRAND NEW!

We have teams of developers working on it constantly, fixing any bugs and making it easier to use. Stick around and you'll notice things start getting so much easier to do. Patience is the greatest virtue you can have here!

3. USE AN APP!

The Lemmy web interface isn't great, and it's more confusing than intuitive. Installing Connect for Reddit yesterday improved my Lemmy experience twice as much instantly

Popular apps:

Mlem - A Lemmy client for iOS

Connect for Lemmy (Android) - opens in App Store

Liftoff - A Lemmy for Windows , Linux and Android

Jerboa - A native Android app made by Lemmy's developers (Jerboa IMPORTANT NOTICE: Jerboa was crashing on some instances (instances are like lemmy.world, lemmy.ml) because of an upgrade issue. If it crashes for you, try something else for a couple days until it's fixed)

Lemoa - A Gtk client for Lemmy on Linux

4. Find your communities!

Took me a while to find this community. Thankfully there are Lemmy Community Browsers that let you search for communities across instances! There are 4-5 more browsers, including ones that say whether an entire subreddit had migrated here, so please feel free to post them in the comments!


I was going to post a lot more but I'm short on time and need to run and some of my post was deleted. If you have any more to add, please do so in the comments and I'll edit this post!

A few months ago someone (journalist?) claimed authorities cracked his 30+ char strong Veracrypt (or TrueCrypt?) passphrase. His computer was turned off when apprehended. I can not locate the story.

Does anyone remember seeing this? I really want to know if there was an update to his case. I thought I saw it on HN but I can NOT for the life of me find it now anywhere. Normally I'm not one to buy into "XYZ scrubbed QWERTY from the internet", but I absolutely can not find this story ANYWHERE now and it seems like it should be easily found with keywords.

If anyone interested has a Twitter account, would you mind searching there for Truecrypt and Veracrypt to see what comes up? That’s the one place I haven’t looked because I don’t have an account.

Edit: It was LUKS, not Vera/TrueCrypt. Thanks @[email protected]
