finnIt Still Hurts š¢
adj16Agreed but personally with wefwef the transition has had much less of a sting. It feels basically the same but just like Reddit is having a slow week
I doubt a slow responsiveness has to do with wefwef.
Your account appears to be registered to lemmy.world. Might that be the reason why the past week was slow?
I mean that Lemmy feels like Reddit on a slow content week, not anything against wefwef. Wefwef is fantastic and gets even better every 12 hours or so; Lemmy still needs a lot more users/content before it feels like actual Reddit

Check. Thatās true.
Forgive me for being uneducated but whats the difference between the lemmy domains? Would I have to make another account registered to a different domain for other content?
From a functionality perspective there is no difference. Iām registered to a Dutch server with this account and can comment on all OPs that are visible to me.
The administrator of a server (domain or instance) can block other servers (domains or instances) however. So if Meta not only starts itās own Twitter-like platform, but also itās own Reddit-like platform, it could be that administrators block access to the Meta server.
The best example for Mastodon (which uses the same federation protocol as Lemmy) is the Truth Social platform on which former president Trump publishes his posts. The administrators of Truth Social blocked access to all other servers on the fediverse, so Truth Social doesnāt federate at all. And I presume administrators of many other servers block access to Truth Social.
So from that aspect, you might think through on what server you register. Might the administrator block access to certain servers? Do you want that or not? etc.
But you can also take location into consideration with regard to legal questions. I personally do not want to register on a server in certain countries if for example the GDPR is not enforceable.
Thanks for the detailed explanation!!
Which, by the way, is also a great way to verify certain people. If a Lemmy account is registered on a server with a domain that is owned by a large broadcast company for example, itās easy to check whether the user of that account is who that person claims to be.
The municipality of Amsterdam set up their own Mastodon server registered to amsterdam.nl, so itās clear their Mastodon posts are genuinely from the municipality without any external verification schedule. If the mayor would want to post herself, she could simply get an account on that server and everybody knows itās genuinely her.
I wish Christian Selig would build Apollo into a Lemmy client
Whatever he decides to focus on next (after some deserved time off!), I think itās safe to say that heāll have the communities support ā¤ļø
Open your internet browser. Go to wefwef.app. This is Apollo for Lemmy.
G_Wash1776It doesnāt have all the fleshed out features Apollo did. Yes it looks extremely similar but there was a wealth of features included in it.
Itās being actively developed right now. If your into software development itās fun watching it being built on GitHub.
Apollo wasnāt built into what it was overnight. It took years. I know wefwef isnāt Apollo but it feels similar and is on its way to becoming feature-rich like Apollo once was.
Oh for sure! Not trying to take anything away from the amazing development that WefWef continues to show!
Exactly. It's also impressive how fast the development is, especially when the project founder was still doing all of it by himself. Within something like a week, he built my favorite lemmy experience.
I wish the instances themselves had good web interfaces. It might attract way more users.
It does indeed. Canāt wait for Sync for Lemmy, and more users on the platform.
I just opened the Apollo app again yesterday and didnāt realize there was a goodbye song as well. Hit me in the feels again š©
Bird_LawyerMemmy is helping me cope.
Memmy is so good. And the rate of progress is staggering. The lead dev/repo owner is very nice as well
That old logo is so nostalgic
Memmy is filling the hole pretty well. And I like the icon look. Itās a little mouse.
Pouring one out for RIF as wellā¦
