wow it’s almost like having a huge chunk of lemmy’s users in one instance is a bad thing. who would’ve thought.

seriously though more people should migrate to smaller instances.

have you tried running them with Proton or ProtonGE?

and probably spectacularly sucking at everything

those comments and votes and are all from lemmy.world users though, what you are seeing is like lemmy.world users posting to that community and talking in their own little bubble that will never get seen outside of lemmy.world because it never will reach beehaw and distribute to other beehaw subscribers outside of the beehaw

if you are feeling adventurous i would recommend slay the spire for the card games category

so let me try to explain more clearly, beehaws defederation makes it not very useful to stay subscribed to beehaw communities from lemmy.world

you can still see posts from beehaw communities but you can not see any votes or comments, for example look at this post from beehaw and from lemmy.world as you can see from lemmy.world’s side it looks like a wasteland

what i meant was you can sign up to another small instance which is not defederated from beehaw like the one i am in, lemmy.zip and participate in both of the communities, also lemmyverse is a website that you can use to discover communities to subscribe to or instances to sign up.

feel free to pm me if you have more questions

that should be because lemmy.world did not defederate with beehaw, it only happened one way.

federation is not perfect, it might take a while for posts and comments to sync up so you might be able to see differences because of that. also in a smaller instance you might have to search the community by it’s full name to start federation (if nobody subscribed to that community first from your instance), luckily lemmyverse exists so you can search there first then look it up.

hope this helps :3

or you can join a smaller instance that beehaw has not defederated and interact with both beehaw and lemmy.world communities

it looks really pretty but my eyes are on fire lol

yeah it seems like they started writing this article by forming an opinion then cherry picking, not looking at the data and then forming an opinion around it

it is a wonderful program, there is also an extension called GS Connect for gnome users

what are some good services you recommend?

AHAHAH that is so cute

that is exactly where i am at as well, battling with absurdly high inflation is already hard enough i can’t pay for bajillion different streaming services or non indie games

privacy redirect is not maintained anymore, i would recommend libredirect

something similar happened to me, i finished setting up my account then i decided to change my profile picture to a band’s logo that i was a fan of, my account got immediately banned for impersonation lmfao

you can change how firefox looks by modifying userchrome.css and usercontent.css files easily, if the issue is how it looks maybe you can find a theme you like

for example here is a video explaining how to modify the start page backgrounds using css files on firefox here

oh sick! slay the spire is on lemmy as well!

proton and tutanota come to mind first, proton seems to be going for an integrated ecosystem of apps (vpn, cloud storage, password manager etc.) so it might be a good choice if you want to move away from google’s ecosystem. it is all personal preference though, some people don’t like the idea of putting too much trust on one entity and i can’t blame them
