You don't get any dumb TVs in my country anymore. I'd assume its the same everywhere else unless you're going back a minimum 5 years of tech evolution, which might not be all too bad.

For sure. It's the reason why I refuse to use apps that autoplay videos, including default reddit app, Twitter. I have YouTube Revanced which strips out the Shorts button and the section from the app itself. On desktop, I use an extension to remove shorts as well. However I'm way more addicted to consuming information. Text is where its at, (Tildes, HN, comments all over) maybe slightly less harmful compared to video but it's not good for sure.

Yes I have the same experience. And on Kiwi, it can't detect the OS theme.

Incredible app! Never realized a web app could be so sexy.

Seems like Lemmy has a starring functionality.

Great explanation, thanks for the write up! I have a couple of questions, if I may.

  • So if I setup my own instance tomorrow, it'd be sending notifications of activity to all the other instances? Maybe I'd have to have a list of instances I'd like to notify? How does it discover the other instances?

  • If my instance is listening to all other instances? Won't saving all posts take up a lot of disk space? I guess there is only text and link data and no media, but wouldn't it add up fast as the number of users/instances grow ?

I'm liking Thunder with compact UI of all. It reminds me of Sync, in a way.
