It's something I've never understood.. why do people do it in socks?
Firefox is not as privacy-friendly as everyone says
I think the best alternative would be LibreWolf
The Neverending Story by Michael Ende
What about the comments? Is it the same thing?
I imaginated it, there are only two developers and the work they're doing is awesome. I'd like to contribute to the project but unfortunatly I don't know Rust and all the related technologies
r/wicked_edge, r/nosurf, r/meditation
WickedEdge already exists on this platform, but it's not active and doesn't have the same community. These niche communities will not be the same as those on Reddit since many of the people are normies and don't care at all about Reddit's shitty platform. I would open some communities on my own, but I'm not an expert in these fields, like for example in shaving, and I couldn't be of any help for other people.
Will there be a way to migrate your account to another instance?
I would really love if this became an option, since I'm planning on making my own instance. I'd like to keep my subscriptions, posts, comments and bookmarks and migrating would be something great. What do you think?
Unfortunatly tons of data are still on reddit and I think it will be hard to recover them. There are some people who scrapped terabytes of posts and comments from Reddit so I hope they will be of some use in the future. Anyways, I should try finding more niche communities and engage with them
I've noticed that lemmy is full of discussions about Twitter and Reddit, so that's probably the reason these kind of posts show up, but with niche topics it's a lot harder to find something. I've tried searching, even with the lemmy search engine, a post I made on c/Android using generic words, but I couldn't find anything at all.
Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell. They both describe, in a very creative way, the totalitarian regimes of the '40s, especially the soviet one. They give you an insight of what freedom should be, and what are the systems used by dictators to control the popultation: poverty, ignorance, fear, etc.
Worth reading!
I just found a post on the Fediverse community, it shows a new search engine designed to replace google's "site:reddit.com" search query. Hope it will work.
What's the best way to search something on Lemmy?
With reddit you could just add "reddit" or "site:reddit.com" to redirect google searches to reddit, but with lemmy it doesn't seem to work. Is there a way to search useful information on Lemmy?
Where do you read books reviews?
When I have to start reading a book I want to know if it's good or garbage, so I like to read some reviews. I don't trust Goodreads, are there some alternatives?
