I will add that many of us who work remotely using publicly accessible wifi also use VPNs, and Imgur actively blocks IPs from multiple commercial VPN providers. If you want those users to see the image you're sharing, Imgur is not the way to go.

Pixelfed works well with other Fediverse services like Kbin and Lemmy. Try hosting there!

They haven't said why. I'm assuming that federation with outside entities would present some logistical problems for them w/r/t their privacy obligations in Europe. If that's right, I suspect the whole ActivityPub thing could be "delayed" indefinitely.

They previously announced that they would federate with ActivityPub, but yesterday we learned that it won't happen for "three months." With all the European regulatory issues and other factors, I'll bet it will be a lot longer than that. In fact, I'd be surprised if we ever see full federation capability.

I scorned the Independent when they reported a few weeks ago that Trump would be indicted "tomorrow." None of the usual journalists in the know confirmed, and plenty of reasonably reliable experts cast doubt on it. And then the next day came, and lo and behold, the indictment was issued.

All this to say, I don't take the report as gospel, but I take it seriously.

Yeah, I posted that to !fediverse@lemmy.ml from my lemmy.ca account. I figured that if the admins aren't answering questions via Matrix or whatever, maybe someone there would have an answer. (So far, nothing more than the same kind of speculation that's happening here.)

Tusky is best for those who are newer to Mastodon. Visually it's very clean, straightforward to use, and largely free of bugs (it helps to have been around for so many years).

For users more familiar with Mastodon, I'd go with Fedilab. Despite a few bugs, it's the most customizable option, with so many features you can tweak to your own tastes.

Weird story. I had no idea he had carved out his own little crypto world before really seeming to break down.

Let's not turn on other users when Reddit is the actual problem. Show them that there's something better being built over here.

Don't go for the belly, it's a trap! Will only end in claws and bloodshed!

 

Cargo e-bikes are catching on and could curb U.S. car emissions. Canary Media took a test ride to learn more about this emerging form of transportation.

I feel like the UI for Kbin is cleaner, though not without its problems. And I can access Lemmy communities from Kbin as well (this works a lot better than I expected it would), so I'm not really missing out if I choose it over Lemmy.

I'm also giving an answer to the other thread on Lemmy, since I think there are good reasons to use that one as well. They're both solid, and I'm using both regularly--often viewing posts from one service on the other. For me, it's "yes AND," not "no BUT."

I feel like Lemmy has more content, probably because it's been around longer, so it's a good base to build from.

I think @tchambers put it well on his Mastodon post: no need to preemptively block, but "stay vigilant with eyes wide open and a finger on the block button."
