No, that app won’t be usable with piefed. It’s a different software so to speak and apps have to support it.

short, are there any advantages of the fediverse for people who don’t have a problem with centralization?

hey, that’s me. It’s just another social media platform for news, memes and information for me

The onboarding for piefed is huge as well. So easy to kickstart your own feed.

A lot of things in life are improved once you excise the FOMO mind cancer.

On the hate of Bluesky here from what I understand: it’s just another twitter masquerading being open with almost impossible to run federation backenf if you’re not some big rich organization that will enshittify and it’s not mastodon

1. “Balwisyall nescell gungnir tron”

2. “Zetsuboshita! This money grubbing world has left me in despair.”

What I think can help with a unique problem of the Fediverse—accessing content from other instances via your home piefed instance—being built in to piefed somehow instead of relying on browser extensions that still doesn’t support non Lemmy clients and instances

I love the deduplication feature on piefed. It’s great

I also love that it has custom multi-comm feeds like subreddits. I still haven’t made one for myself though, since the default topics — multi-comm feeds as well — already works quite well.

Those two, combined with their onboarding process, I think makes it the better “platform” to get new users IMO

It helps with having a handholding experience to jumpstart a new user, and not make it as “dead” looking or having to suffer All with American politics posts

I tried Lemmy way back when the APIcalypse happened but it never stuck.

I tried again earlier this year because of something happening again at reddit and decide to also try mbin because of built in support for microblogs. Turns out I still don’t care about microblogs if everyone that I follow on X isn’t here. It’s also “just another Lemmy” but with microblog support in my short term using it

Them I decided to finally try piefed. Ever since I created this account it’s been my main and never accessed my LW, lemmyzip, fedia and kbinearth accounts again lol

Interstellar is testing it. @franklaskey@lemmy.ml

ngl, i like uaing piefed on a browser

I can open multiple posts in background tabs and I can get back to them as when I want to

It kind of makes me not minding piefed doesn’t have many apps supporting it

And the sidebar in mobile view is way at the bottom of the page

Just in case someone forgot the rules of a comm and posted a rule breaking post like me :P

This is why I just don’t do microblogs. I’m just an uninteresting and uninterested specimen of humanity

So idk why someone would want to randomly know about me through DM

Personally I only ask after interacting for months, and I only offer mine the same way. By that I mean in positive interactions.

I agree with others that say it might be an awkward way to get to know you

In general though I just don’t like to be DM’d unsolicited without me stalking following the account and get to know the vibe

Definitely the reason why Metal Complex wears gloves for them too.

Personal preference, I like it in small amounts like on pocket clips or accents

Never really liked it when it’s a slab like on scales

I was just on Zorin OS web page and I like what I am seeing.

Have to set some time aside this weekend to seeing dual booting it

Oooh I should try that

The inventor and original owner of the company didn’t get it either, AFAIK. He resisted a lot of things that makes aeropress more expensive just for the sake of it. Well he had to cash out sooner or later and this became of it.

Now I might be talking out of my ass, based on half unremembered internet tales.

But here’s my own opinion on this: premium aeropress is just for people to showboat they have money.

I would instead pay for big aeropress though. Makes it easier to share coffee.

Yep this is what I meant @turret3857@infosec.pub
