When you get divorced, you make decisions 😂

Disclaimer: pretty new to Lemmy a federation (older than this account though).

From what I gather, defederation is supposed to be a function of this whole system, but intended to cut off whole instances that refuse to moderate or are active cesspools. In saying that, I don’t understand Beehaw cutting off two of the other biggest instances. I know they have a weird mentality over there of no downvotes and saw some odd conversations condemning someone’s political views while admitting to not know the person at all (dafuq?).

It seems to me it would make more sense to block a single community rather than the whole instance.

Maybe they want a walled garden, but as new people come in and want as much content as possible to show that this is a better venue than Reddit, to me they give off the wrong message.

Am I mistaken somehow? Anyone able to enlighten me?

RIP Apollo 😢 Thank you Christian for so many years of a great app.

Lemmy seems to have the promise to be a better platform than Reddit could ever be, but it is bitter sweet.

I got a $600 projector and have about 90 inch display ( can hit 120 if my apartment was bigger). No need to go to a cinema, overpay for drinks and snacks, and I can pause and pee whenever I want.

Yeah I could imagine being on Android and getting a very iOS design language app could be odd. Assuming it’s just because Apollo was the biggest Reddit app and was for iOS. Have you tried any of the other apps?

The familiarity is nice, since the workings are a bit different being federated. Definitely superior now that I’m getting used to it.

A reply from an actual dingus, what an honor.

Forgot to mention in my post but I am also coming from Apollo. When everything started to go to shit on Reddit I realized if Apollo isn’t there I’m not gonna be either. Began this transition a little while ago, found which instance I wanted to be based in then made this account. I’ll admit thought the instance matters less than I originally thought it would.

Interesting, makes it even weirder that Mlem and Memmy don’t show them as subscribed. It is early days though, very happy to have something to make the mobile experience smoother already.

The only thing that had me back on Reddit was searching for something on DDG and getting 99% Reddit results. I see why they are un-deleting people's comments and posts when they close their accounts. Hopefully other forums take those spots.

Gonna comment in case the upvotes don’t count, I’m really a fan of Voyager. Not a big deal if it were to stay Wefwef, but Voyager has more appeal to my ear. Either way, great app regardless of name.
