@StillPaisleyCat I would agree, they did over gimmick things, but as I commented somewhere else, the original Star Trek was a low budget show, and here they have a much, much larger budget, so what can you do? What should you do? And what will the fans accept? I think this season is very much about finding that out, and makes me wonder what's coming season 3.

@enteroninternet That was hilariously unexpected when they did that, and it explained why the Klingons were so pissed off, considering how much they like their opera.

@JustineSmithies I'll prolly stick around, though with the loss of 3rd party apps, my little visiting, once daily to consume content there, will likely cut down to once a week or less.

@DidacticDumbass I use hosted email from Polaris Email, $25/yr, and my domain from Porkbun at $5 for the first year, and access the mail through Thunderbird on phone and computer.

@ImOnADiet Forgot to respond, sorry. I'm referring to finding communities, that doesn't work too well, so maybe indexing all the communities would help with that, it could be done in a DNS like way where the same index is available on multiple servers to reduce the load on any one of them. This might also help with community fracturing (same subject on multiple instances) too.

@Bicyclejohn @goatsarah I believe this one is open to new subscribers.

@jax Friendica is an option, not sure it's the best for photos, but it certainly allows long posts

@ImOnADiet Oh? More to the point, I think it's size is a byproduct of confusion, finding an instance, or more importantly, finding a community, is tricky, as there doesn't seem to be an easy way and obvious way to find them like Reddit it. Lemmy, or anything comparable (I think there's two others, one dead, one live) needs to make it just as easy if they expect to grow. Creating a way communities could be followed similar to how users are followed would also help.

@ImOnADiet I've tried that before, and unfortunately it doesn't bring up anything I follow on Reddit, like Canoo, St Louis (there are two tiny MO groups), or Ford Maverick, let alone any of the porn.

@ImOnADiet Ah, gotcha, I haven't really gotten into Lemmy, I can't quite figure out how to use it, searches for the things I follow on Reddit come up empty, so I'm not sure if'n they're not there or I'm just not looking in the right place.
I think Lemmy would be a great replacement for Reddit if'n there was some kind of index for the groups on there, that way it doesn't matter the server you're on, you're guaranteed to find what you're looking for.

@Bicyclejohn Firefox, whatever version is default on LM😁E, with containers, NoScript and Ublock for privacy purposes

@ImOnADiet @Veritas I'm guessing Pawoo or Baraag, the latter allows anything that isn't expressly illegal, so anything drawn, but limits on photos, the former is Japanese, and they have different laws regarding what's allowed compared to the rest of the world.
As to instances, rubber.social comes to mind, but I know there's more out there as my little Mastodon instance is connected to a relay that's basically all adult content (1 of 6 or so relays I use).
