At least one person has to subscribe to that community from the instance that you want synced, then it starts federating. Unfortunately, it does not update comments/posts that have been made before this first subscription happened. What you can do is manually trigger a sync - to do this, you need to copy the link of the posts/comments and post them in the search bar of the instance you want to have synced. However, this does not work for replies of comments (because the link is for the thread). I hope this could help you.

Switch to Linux phone?

Reply in thread

Thank you for the tips; I can see that a Linux phone is still not there yet. Thank you for waydroid as well. It might be the solution to running apps like banking apps that otherwise would not run. How would the performance of Waydroid on PostmarketOS be? Do you have a recommendation for a phone?

Yes, at least one person from sh.itjust.works needs to go to https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected] and click on subscribe. Then everything starts federating from this moment onwards. If you want to see past posts/comments you need to manually search for them on https://sh.itjust.works. If you want the comment https://lemmy.ml/comment/760707 to be displayed, you need to paste this link (after subscribing) to the search field of sh.itjust.works. However, as I said, it does not federate replies of comments because the link is just for the comment. I guess that is a bug/limitation of lemmy, see https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2241#issuecomment-1112505474 .

Switch to Linux phone?

Reply in thread

Thank you for postmarketos. I had a look and it actually looks exactly like what I had in mind. They even have a community on lemmy at https://lemmv.ml/c/postmarketos I now have to check out the shiftphones and see if Linux supports apps like the banking apps, 2FA, etc. or if they can be emulated through some kind of Android laver. Otherwise it would have to be an Android OS without Google or a separate phone for those apps.

How much of an impact is the protest really having on Reddit?

For me it had a huge impact. Whatever happens with reddit, I am going to stay with lemmy. Lemmy can only get better and if there is an issue as it is federated it can be circumvented; even lemmy can be forked if there are issues with the codebase. With reddit you are only left with hope that it gets better. I choose the option where I have certainty. And besides that, the community is less bot-driven on here.

I think it is about the UX and the navigation. i think that with PixelFed you can view profiles (like on Instagram) but you do not have a feed/stream like on 9gag (without adding people to your feed)
