Oof… then it might not be the browser. Maybe an extension?

Hope it works!

Have you tried a chromium browser? I haven’t tried browsing lemmy on FF yet, but I never had that issue on chromium (Brave).

Same. It’s not about the app anymore. It’s about reddit itself.

I didn’t see those. My bad!

Privacy is non-existent on reddit anyway, just because lemmy is imperfect there doesn’t mean it’s any worse than reddit, and this is a public forum, there’s no privacy anyway.

Completely agree. Just look at reddit’s TOS. They own your data. Unfortunately, it still doesn’t stop people from raising it as if reddit is a bastion of privacy and security.

I’ve also seen concerns about privacy and politics. It’d be great if you addressed that, too. I’d love to send you an upvote but I deleted all my accounts. 😅

I completely agree. Reddit has shown no indication of backing down. They will just wait for it to finish if the lockdown is as short as ~48 hours. If a major/big sub goes on lockdown indefinitely, they’ll open it and replace the mods. I’m pretty sure there are tons of people out there willing to mod a big subreddit like r/videos for one reason or another. The reddit of the digg migration era is gone. It’s just corporate reddit now.

I have to agree about many users from a certain group/type of people affected enough by the reddit fiasco are those that are here rn. I’m biased as well, but I appreciate the compliment. Tbh, I’m just going with the flow. I saw a recommendation from reddit and was curious enough to check lemmy out.

But many of the users here (most probably you included) are here because they actually give a crap. Some are pretty active. Some are already starting communities and posting. I’d love to see the fediverse grow but I’m afraid it’ll end up like reddit.

It’s certainly more about discussion here. I’ve made mistakes already and no one has criticized me (yet). Just someone responding about why my opinion/statement was wrong in their opinion.

If I did that on reddit I’d probably never check my inbox again lmao. Not saying all reddit subs are like that, but a lot are.

I don’t use Mastodon/Twitter so I had no idea. That’s definitely reassuring. Thanks!

Afaik you can’t migrate yet. It has been raised, though, but idk more than that. I support migration, tbh.

Jumping ship is the easy part. Now we have to keep this up. Let’s make sure this isn’t just something that’ll disappear in a month or two. Make Fediverse more active than before permanently.

I haven’t used mlem. I’m on Android and we have Jerboa. Hopefully an mlem user can answer your question.

On Jerboa we just have to input which instance we want to log into.

We really have to spread the word that lemmy.ml is not the only intance and size isn’t a gauge for how active an instance is. I’m worried lemmy.ml will not be able to handle that many users who may be coming, and a high concentration of comms there would mean a lot would suffer if lemmy.ml crashes…

I did it not even half an hour ago and didn’t get any errors. I have only my main account left. One last account before I leave for good. I’m also new to that script/tool so maybe I made a mistake? But then again it’s pretty straightforward.

Gonna be a spam fest there for a while if they replace the present mods to open the sub forcibly.

The mods just don’t want to participate. All of the points they are using are just excuses.

It’ll cause problems for people? Like the members have said, if a sysadmin relies on a reddit sub to do their job then they shouldn’t be sysadmins.

It doesn’t work? The pandemic would like to remind them what happened to some anti-vax/misinformation subs.

They’re not political? I guess until the mods themselves are affected?

Now I’m not a member of that sub, but I just checked it out and there’s a lot of members disagreeing with the mods. It looks like it’s just the mod team’s decision and not a reflection of the members’ stance.
