I also wonder/hope if specialized Lemmy apps can paper over friction issues like these. For example i know that RedReader prefers viewing the cache of pages if recent

Edit: and oh lord please fix the cross-instance community links 😭

That’s in insane amount of users and so glad they’ve picked an instance that will eventually refederate

It may not be forever, and this reddit pause will hopefully be the kickstart for the fediverse of reddit-likes :)

Afaik kbin.social’s DDOS protection through cloudflare is messing with federation. I don’t believe it will be permanent but I don’t have a source on that.

I’m hoping that most third party apps will adapt to lemmy, providing a friction in our favor.

I get really annoyed about the acrid pushback because of Lemmy’s creators, and I usually deflect to unaffiliated server hosts or if it’s really strong, mention kbin since we all connect freely.

It’s just so important to me that the migration goes to a federated platform and not another central one.

The even better experience is seeing people try out federated versions of what they love, re-decentralizing the internet 🥰

It’s interesting being a recovering country gay because I’ve made a lot of lesbian and non binary friends but i still want to do the dating/bf experience :(
