Been trying the place and just have jerboa a shot in comparison. The actual app is better by miles. So much faster than the browser.

YSK: If you're on Lemmy.World or Sh.itjust.works you should not subscribe to any Beehaw communities
Reply in thread
True, but unsubbed from them when it happened because I don't want to see communities I can't interact with.
Why add to the problem and have frustration with wanting to discuss something you are blocked from?

Reddit calls for “a few new mods” after axing, polarizing some of its best

What about spam? Stuff completely unrelated to the community? Porn?
Certain heavily moderated subs made sense, like ask historians, where the purpose of the sub was to have actually knowledgeable responses instead of internet ass-pulling.

YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content - Lemmy.world
Oddly, kbin can't see all of lemmy.world. I made a kbin account to check it out and couldn't find all the communities.

My wife is a LOTE teacher (language other than English) at one if the introductory grade levels where it is mandatory and one of the biggest problems is that the kids don't want to learn. And this is in a community where the language she teaches is spoken by a significant minority of residents. She also teaches special classes to kids who speak the language at home but need instruction in literacy.
Teachers in the district have had parents tell them that they are wasting money because everyone in 'murica should speak English.

Reddit is not so fun anymore, RIP RIF

Jerboa is very similar to me. Pretty much slotted that in on the spot that rif used to be and haven't skipped a beat.

Question: People who still frequent Reddit, has it gone back to business as usual or are the protests still having effect?
I still visit a few small, specialized subs. None of the population of the subs has had any interest in leaving reddit because there's almost no noise in the signal already.

Jerboa is pretty much close enough to rif for me.

Goodnight, RIF
So, is it a problem that rif is still working for me some how? I went into it to see the dead app and canceled out of every message prompt after the good bye. Now when I open the app, it works.

Planning for the future - a flaw in the design of Lemmy (and Kbin)
Having sibling communities would be another approach.
Each one is still homed on their instance, but if the instances are federated the posts from the other instances automatically flow into the community. They would still show the originating instance, but content would be comingled.

I found a major communication problem with public perception of Lemmy. they seem to think a community is tied to a particular instance
That's not how I read it. They were saying it didn't matter because of federation you can sub to any of them wherever they are.

Jerboa is very RiF like. Unfortunately if you use Lemmy.world it won't work until that instance updates. Currently on Connect for lemmy and it is ok.
