It always seem like that. I used to think like that too, 15 years ago

Eh, scratch that, I still think like that.

I started to think it’s because of the result from years of a lot of people being trained and marinated by big tech in siloed opaque social media and website sign ups, where everything is it’s own thing with almost no interconnectedness and communication between each other. So it seems hard when they (me too admittedly) see all this instance thing and federated that.

Also IMO fediverse has a too nerdy and being infodumped on image to me. That image, at least on the threadiverse side, seems to be toned down and normie-d with recent “campaigns” on reddit though.

You guys really do need to not be too nerdy lol.

the alternative is not perfect either so why not just stay

It does work for a lot of people. Seeing they need to change and adapt if they do change, and it seemingly seems to be as bad as what they’re using now, why change and face headaches and hassle.

Boost, and Sync I know can be made to work still for reddit with revanced patches. There are other reddit apps as well but I forgot which other ones is revanced supported.

Can only speak for myself, but anything the instance admin deems related. Or voted / suggested by their members.

sure, I’ll try to keep an eye out for problems.

in a sense I get then though. it’s like they’re getting preached on. nobody lines that, right?

I myself gave threadiverse another chance on my own volition and learned on my own.

so it might take some time for others to try it give a second chance

hmm, is it possible that maybe both of those mbin instances blocks imgur? I have accounts on both but I’m using fedia as my main

if this keeps up I might just abandon mbin and go with Lemmy while waiting for piefed lol…

annoying that they get preachy about it

how to do that?

Instances admins would start to advocate to defederate from them just like with Meta’s Threads IMO.

in my two weeks of using lemmy/mbin seriously, I’ve had plenty of times federation isn’t perfect. mostly from what I understand it’s either because of defederation or someone never subscribed yet from my home instance. I did still have to open not my instance’s post.

that’s one of the plus points of using the fediverse I’ve heard? and I just did a quick google and at least mastodon software has that function.

Now that I’m here now, at least lemmy/mbin seem like it can’t yet. kind of. lemmy does allow to export and import some settings to move around instances.

thanks for bringing this to my attention. personally I haven’t seen it yet.

I’ll probably join in later to give my 2 cents as a new threadiverse user.

but I have to say I agree with the decentralized nature is a UX headache. simply because if someone isn’t linking in the right format, I’ll be kicked out of my instance and suddenly I can’t comment anymore.

it’s better in mobile apps. and there’s probably browser extensions to help. but still.

And for another, at any time users can view Categories of Communities, such as all things Fediverse, News & Politics, or Gaming, and now users can even create our own customized Feeds

I like the sound of this. Pardon the comparison, but it’s like multisubreddit. That’s one of the big things from reddit I miss. Making my own categorised feed.

your links and in @Irelephant@lemm.ee comment doesn’t work on Interstellar app. guess I have to pass my finding to the dev.

I use Private Internet Access (PIA) and that has port forwarding. I read something about it on reddit but forgot about it, so idk of there’s anything bad it controversial surrounding PIA.

I appreciate knowing both. I have a Lemmy instance account too.

@meldrik@lemmy.wtf thank you for your answer.
