Moshidon is really good for android. I especially like that you can have custom timelines for basically anything

If you mean live tracking like live location sharing then signal doesn’t have that.
There’s a location sharing feature in signal, but it just sends a Google maps link to a (non changing) location

It’s probably more expensive and inconvenient.
Also it might only take one report for an active mod team to ban a server. How long can that take? An hour? Less? If they’re on servers that real people use, bots have to be banned one by one, so the spam can last a lot longer and reach more people.
It will work for a while until the guest account expires, but then you’ll need to log in with a Twitter account.
(I think)
I’m on 3.7.3
It got updated so you can log in with Twitter accounts instead of only using guest accounts. It still works as far as I can tell
you can’t move that account somewhere else.
That means you can migrate between servers and keep all your friends and followers, something that’s currently not possible in the Fediverse.
It absolutely is possible to move accounts between instances on the fediverse. I’ve done it multiple times.
It does have some quirks tho. Posts aren’t migrated to your new account. (Some fedi software lets you migrate posts, but from what I hear it’s kinda jank).
It’s not seamless, but the option is there, and you won’t lose any friends or followers (unless they’re defederated or something)
Bluesky accounts seem like they’ll be more portable than fediverse accounts but I don’t know much about it
It’s a crawler that ports things from one platform to another without consent from the user. If either of them are unethical and should be blocked, then both should be blocked.
I understand blocking this bridge, but if admins do that, they should block other bridges too, like bird.makeup
Lemmy’s subscriber user count is usually wrong.
You only see the true number if the community is on your instance
Check the community from the original instance to see the actual number of subscribers
If you’re searching for instances, you should use https://lemmyverse.net/communities since it lets you quickly compare subscribers, shows you more results and also is just better overall
Mastodon doesn’t actually have communities built in, so if you want to post in a Lemmy community you have to @ the community. (That means that there’s a decent chance this post was an accident, since linking to a community and posting to a community is the same on mastodon)
Sub.rehab stopped letting people add new communities. What’s up with that?
Why do you say it doesn’t feel the same between instances? The only problem I’ve seen is subscriber counts not federating.
Lemmy of all platforms is able to work fine without an algorithm. There needs to be some better sorting options, though. ‘Hot’ prioritizes new posts way too much, so you don’t even see posts that are 2 hours old.
Also some way of making posts from smaller communities show up higher since they’ll never get as many upvotes as posts from popular communities.
The process got easier in mastodon 4.2.0, now you just have to type in your instance and it takes you to it directly.
Easiest way to know for sure is probably to search for it on fedidb.org. Instances don’t need to tell you they’re on the fediverse, but most of them have a link to the source code which will probably mention activitypub somewhere.
Yeah discovery is kinda terrible. Luckily there’s tools like https://lemmyverse.net/communities and https://lemmyverse.net/kbin/magazines, but something like that definitely needs to be built into Lemmy itself.
To get the community started you can put it on !newcommunities@lemmy.world, sub.rehab if there’s a counterpart on reddit, and maybe advertise it in any relevant places. After you get just one subscriber from an instance everyone there will be able to see it in search and the all tab.
I didn’t know that was a controversial opinion? Do you think that Apple are as bad as Google or Meta in terms of privacy?
Apple does have privacy violations, but the things I’ve seen them get caught doing are minor compared to the things that many other companies do openly.
The main point of the article you’ve linked is that Apple put the equivalent of a “Do not track” option in a browser, and it did exactly the same of a “Do not track” option in a browser (nothing). Does that mean that any browser with a DNT request option is bad for privacy?
Adding an option that is somewhat misleading isn’t ideal, but it’s incomparable to something like Cambridge analytica incident, or the tracking that Google put basically everywhere on the Internet.
By the way, I am in no way defending Apple. I’m just saying that everything that Apple does, companies like Google and Meta also do, just ten times over.
I believe an iPhone is way better than a Pixel for privacy, even if both are far from ideal. I’d love to be proven wrong, tho.
