yes, i began to test : some post are real advertising and are annoying. You should be more selective on the RSS sources

1. Define your priorities.
2. Ignore what other think, especially the one who say it's not possible.
3. Move your ass.

Believe me, these 3 rules work for everybody and whatever your age.

I don't think so : in mastodon, people knows they can federate. After trial and error process, they choose their instance based on reliability, moderation and the topics inside.
I think lemmy/kbin will follow the same path.

i created a lemmy community about backpacking 3 years ago, at the birth of lemmy : only 3 users! Since one week, there are much more post and comments. Thank you reddit ! i love you.

reddit ? what is it ? a new platform ? is there anybody here who knows what it is ?

i miss some reddit communities, but for a basic usage, lemmy/jerboa replaces reddit without problem.

there is a trend now : big $ don't want 3rd party apps any more. May be the next is youtube : block individious, block newpipe...

i wonder if all this big social platform will not end with lots of fake profile feeded with chatgpt. For your information, I'm NOT a chatgpt comment 😜

well, i don't want to be rude, i'm not communist or capitalist, just an average guy and i respect every political views, But when your alias/name is 'communist', i think you just obtain the opposite of what you want. I agree with you : federation is missunderstood and if people doesn't want an instance with political bias, they can choose another one.

a few days i use jerboa daily : it's not perfect but i can deal with all the restrictions

But i really miss an option to make all post as 'read' with a single button Just a suggestion for the next release. Thank you for your great work

The possibility to follow hashtags in mastodon is a real progress : i just follow a few account but i like following hashtags on mastodon/pixelfed and may be tomorrow peertube. lemmy suffer from lack of contents. I hope it will improve in the comming months

good article
