I just don't understand why they moved to discord instead of Lemmy. Discord is just a dumb platform for thread based discussions.

Fully agree. Power mods like him are a huge problem on reddit and I hope this will not repeat in the fediverse.

Sync is doing fine but I honestly don't understand the hype.

There is a dozen apps out there since the reddit migration with some having nearly the same features but without ads, without subscriptions and regular updates ever since.

Off the top of my head: Voyager, Summit, Connect, Thunder, Liftoff.

Sure, I just hope it plays out like that. I can easily imagine a situation where instances or communities get too big to fail. What's the point in creating a splinter community where 10 or 100 users migrate to when all the content and discussion takes place in the original community.

I tried all the reddit apps I got aware of and Joey was just miles ahead of the pack.

There have been so many customization settings, custom themes, well-impoemented navigation features like skipping posts/comments with the volume keys of the phone etc.

I'm currently using 8 apps for Lemmy and none of them seems even close (yes, I know these are mostly alpha releases).

I really hope the joey dev creates a Lemmy client.

Yeah, I can't fathom why people work for a for-profit company as volunteers, especially in time-consuming and high-profile jobs like this.

Kann dich voll verstehen, aber bekomme das in allen sozialen Berufen in meinem Umfeld mit:

• Jede berufliche Entscheidung wird ins Persönliche gezogen (bei Wechsel, Krankheit, Kündigung wird gejammert, dass das Team das ausbaden muss)
• Es wird immer ein scheinbarer Gegensatz zwischen "sozialer" Motivation und finanziellen Interessen gezogen (warum soll nicht beides gehen? Es geht um Menschenleben - warum soll das nicht fürstlich entlohnt werden?)
• Lieblingstool jeder Teamleitung: Schlechtes Gewissen machen, wenn man seine ganz normalen Arbeitnehmerrechte in Anspruch nimmt

Und da wundert man sich, warum sich nix ändert und die Gewerkschaften in der Pflege so schwach sind...

Is that a new variant of the good old russian gravitational poisoning?

Yeah and we all know that if you're not using a dumb phone and an Unix machine disconnected from the internet you're an exquisite knob and shouldn't worry about privacy at all and anyone should have the right to access your data.

What a bullshit take.

You can pry my cup of coffee from my my cold, dead hands.

Will donate anyway, I really want this project to keep going.

Have a look at https://wefwef.app

It's a Webapp which works pretty good.

only time will tell but there is no downside in creating accounts in 3 or 4 instances (or one for Kbin and one for Lemmy). It's not only downtime but also defederation of instances or complete shutdowns why you should create some additional accounts.

Thanks for this well-written roundup of what's going on. I think you've hit the nail on the head. I just hope the dev doesn't rack up debt in the time the app is free...

I didn't complain about sync's privacy policy or closed source anywhere. I just think your comment is weird and it's a strange hill you're dying on.

It's going downhill in Europe too. I used Airbnb comparably early when it was available in Germany and it was a great way to cut costs while staying in unique locations and getting great tips from local owners.

Now it's mostly the commercial listings you would find on other sites too, riddled with strange fees and Hotel-like prices.

Uff.

You can use Obtainium to get the Updates from Codeberg without having to pull them by hand.

Bookmark folders as a built-in solution. The OneTab extension if you'd like a little more advanced features.

This is an old one for many countries...but I fear a housing crisis in Germany.

Right now it's not as prevalent as in the us for example but there are no steps taken to prevent it becoming a major social issue.

• Construction industry suffers from high prices and a lack of workforce
• The only housing that is being worked on are luxury properties
• Infrastructure development in rural areas where housing is still affordable is not progressing
• Regulations and hurdles for new buildings are more difficult and complex than anywhere else
• Real estate ownership is often only possible through inheritance/generational wealth, as income is extremely highly taxed
