I’m still trying to figure out how to use it in the phone 😂
It takes a couple days . Trust me bro
Yes actually, sadly it was just a one time talk and I never spoke to him again.
Yep. Friend browses slrpnk.net regularly.
Yep, my dad No discussion about it, we both just happened to join
No. Should I ever mention enshittification or reducing exposure to “big tech” then usually tinfoil hat jokes at my expense ensue
Negatory
No, I don’t think I know anyone else that interacts with the fediverse. there are probably a handful that I know that are even aware of it.
I joined Lemmy when the API changes happened and tried to get a couple nerdy friends to join but they didn’t bite
Absolutely no one
My husband recently rediscovered Lenny again and a friend joined. They both find it hard to stay since it’s pretty quiet and don’t have many active niches.
Unfortunately I can barely find people online that use Lemmy
No
Nope
no. It’s difficult to recommend it, “no it’s good trust me, there’s like none of the subs you like, and also you should go to the settings and block this list of words, also block these instances, and also do you know what a Tankie is?”
List of instances to block please and why ?
I’m fairly new to lemmy and have no idea what you’re talking about. Could you give a little breakdown?
A lot of people block political keywords and related communities, and most niche subs aren’t there
If I talk with people about Lemmy, I’ll usually replace “lemmy” with “this social media I use, kinda like Mastodon, but for Reddit instead of Twitter” as to avoid them joining lemmy.ml and thinking that that’s the entirety of Lemmy.
it’s been 2 days and i think i found like 2 “Yes” responses in the entire thread. one was a techy friend, one was vague, and any other hits were just family/friends.
it’d be cool if Fediverse got some more recognition but it’s definitely way too niche for the normies right now
Several friends yes.
