This looks pretty promising, the only thing I miss from Barinsta is the customizeable and chronological view of the feed/a feed that only shows me the accounts I follow, but I guess I can live with that, thank you!

Bold of you to assume “we” have electronic patient records here in Germany, when they just introduced the e-doctors certificate and e-prescriptions a few months ago and it’s already not working as intended.

Nah, not if the UK calls it the Leiden Invasion Act /s

Yeah I know, but for some of my channels the sponsors are part of the storytelling and I’d miss stuff if I autoskip them. I’m not too bothered by sponsors most of the time either and I think it’s kinda interesting to see which company is currently trying to establish itself in which bubble, but I also totally understand why people would use that feature.

I’ve been using freetube for almost 2 years now and as long as google doesn’t find a way to restrict that access I couldn’t give less of a fuck about every dumb restriction they introduce. Freetube on desktop and newpipe on mobile devices for when you wanna ruin your eyes and you’ll never see an ad again that’s not product placement. I genuinely don’t understand how people still use google products when they have the option to just don’t?!

Filing shelf gibts, wobei sich die anglophone Welt da wahrscheinlich was mit Registerkarten zum von oben rausheben vorstellt (sowas was in Arztpraxen steht). Wenn du das wirklich Aktenregal nennen würdest, okay go ahead, ich will hier auf keinen Fall linguistische Vielfalt zensieren, aber ich glaube die große Mehrheit an deutschsprachigen Personen würde hier einfach “Regal” benutzen, vorallem wenn man ein Bild postet, mit dem der Kontext zu 100% klar ist.

I’m sorry, but wtf are you talking about? Du kannst mir nicht ernsthaft sagen, dass du das “Ordnerregal” nennen würdest, oder?

Same here, these subs just aren’t the reason why I used to be on reddit or why I’m on lemmy now. I used to be low profile on reddit (and actually liked when people thought I was the allo-cis-het man they assumed me to be because it made my posts look so funny at times), but I’ve found lemmy to be less misogynistic so far and I’ve seen a fair amount of users with pronouns and fairly filled out profiles so I thought I’d give mine a try too. So far nobody has ever used them, but we’ll see.

This isn’t meant to bash OP’s cause, I’m sure someone finds these communities useful, it’s just not for me.

I used to donate 5€ per year to Wikipedia since 2019 but I’ve stopped in 2022 because humanitarian related funds for Ukraine had taken priority and I haven’t resumed them since because Wikipedia’s begging has become almost unbearable to me (as well as some other reasons). Might donate something again this year if I can bring myself to look past the stuff I dislike about Wikipedia.

Edit: and I run a Snowflake proxy if that counts as donating?

I guess we both learned something today, because I had never heard of Salvatore Ganacci before you linked him, looking at the view count on both of the videos means he must be pretty big though. EDM usually isn’t my cup of tea, but I can totally see what you like about him!

Damn, I wish I had your confidence, I love them too but I’ve never been to one of their concerts because I don’t know anyone who likes them and I’m too chicken to go alone :(

What the hell? I didn’t know dubioza kolektiv was popular enough to be sampled now, I was sure to find this video behind your link…

Same here, I used to intentionally post about a location I didn’t live in anymore as if I still lived there and never about the location I actually live in, it was fun XD

Is there any real security-minimizing reason why it’s not wanted by the official app to have multiple mobile devices linked to one Signal account? (I’m not even talking about a second phone with another SIM card, I just wanna use it on my tablet).
I would appreciate a simple/ELI5 style explanation if there is one, I don’t work in IT.

That looks really promising, I never heard of that before, thank you for telling me! Do you perhaps also know of any unofficial tumblr android app that lets me add two accounts/main blogs (ideally FOSS, but I’m willing to make compromises)?

Fully agree.
I’m one of those people who migrated to tumblr after the Reddit exodus (tbh I did have tumblr beforehand, but my usage increased a lot when the API bullshit happened). After using it for around 10 months I’ve come to the conclusion while yes, it is good for fandom related content, memes and some other things it’s simply no replacement for reddit (it’s actually more of a replacement for my fandom instagram to me). Yeah you can follow hashtags or topics, but tumblr is too niche of a platform and a lot of the topics I care about the average tumblr user doesn’t even think of, or at least not to the extent I do.
If you want a reddit replacement Lemmy is simply your best option. If you want a Twitter replacement then yeah, go ahead and use Mastodon.

I’ve been using barinsta for a while now, and while it crashes sometimes and often takes ages to load my feed (I follow around 150 accounts) it’s way better than the official app imo and enough to browse and occasionally react to my friend’s messages. My one rule is to never post my face and I don’t upload pictures of people in general, but I guess that depends on what you have to use it for. On and obviously no location tags in posts, but I don’t think I have to explain that on a privacy instance ^^’

Franconia, my favorite 15th district of the GDR /s

Thank you Mr. Torvalds.

Slightly off topic, but why is there no AskEurope instance (is that the right word?) on lemmy yet? Or am I just too incompetent to find it?
