would be very cool if this let you log in with a Mastodon account!

wow, I looked it up and you weren’t kidding. absurd, how is the population OK with this?

they are likely terrified of being sued under GDPR

one UX improvement is also in replies. I comment from Mastodon, and because I’m replying to you my post will be federated to feddit.uk but not to your parent comment on feddit.de or the OP on lemmy.ml :|

added in March of last year, and not sure about third party apps since I use the official interface. I find it very useful though, between that, hashtags, public lists of people to follow, and boosts, I set my feed up in about 6 hours and it’s been on minimal-maintenance-mode since and serving me fine. depends on how much the niche communities you like adopt the Fediverse too, YMMV!

I find the “explore” page super useful for exploration! Spend a few minutes twice a day or so and the content quality is quite high, great place to branch out into boosts from. On my instance, I also do my best to curate the global feed to be somewhat useful (though things to creep in at the edges, I need to do some culling now for some Misskey bridges that are pretty loud in that feed).

@r1veRRR I was on social media both before and after algorithmic curation, and I find it no more interesting now (less if anything). YMMV.
