Um are you aware what community this is

You are correct and I don’t mean to shame but it has been their goal for 7 years now since the redesign in 2018.

No opinion is so important that it needs to post it to Reddit imo

Suuure

Are you a bot lmao it looks nothing like lcars

This is cool but why can’t we change the whole theme😖

Any inconveniences you’ve noticed with Graphene? For example I’ve heard tap to pay functionality doesn’t work.

There’s no need for hostility, your characterization of what is happening does not reflect reality.

Well said, I was thinking maybe the entire reason OPs charisma is -1 is because they’re out there trying to convince people to do something instead of just doing their own thing.

Reports go to:

• Moderators of the community
• Admins of the community’s instance
• Admins of the reported user’s instance
• Admins of the reporting user’s instance

A Fedi instance requires a time commitment, there are some good suggestions in here but I recommend some alternative frontends.

When using the official Mastodon app (as suggested in the “guide”) “instances” are not a factor at all (unless the user specifically goes out of their way). A new user could have never even heard of the term “instance” and the above steps would work fine.

You don’t just download the app, create an account, and go.

Actually with Mastodon this is literally how it works.

EDIT: I should say this is how it works now, it didn’t always used to be this way. The official Mastodon app used to ask the user to pick an instance, but for a number of years now it defaults every new account to mastodon.social unless they opt out. There was a big brouhah about centralization but the Mastodon devs felt it made for easier on boarding.

Potentially unpopular protip: I’ve blocked most of the “prolific” posters. My entire feed was becoming repurposed memes from 2015.

I’m happy there are people out there dedicating time to keeping Lemmy “active” but that is not how I want to live my life.

I love being able to have the small-forum feeling of my home instance but also feeling connected to communities elsewhere.

TikTok → Reddit → Lemmy → …grass?

I agree re: Fedora, especially the atomic varieties. I do think Zorin is good at what it is but it has a pretty specific use case.

Also, had no idea you were also in this community. Pleasant surprise.

Had the same thought, it’s always nice to encounter a civilized person of distinguished taste and culture out in the wilds.

Even without costs you will always have some faction of FOSS users who view UIs and user-friendliness to be something that can be optimized away (and will always, always, let you know their feelings on the topic).

It’s not a scam at all, Zorin is a good distro.
