      I think it’s quite alright for an alpha. Pretty modern codebase too, if I’m not mistaken

      There’s Thunder (slick UI), Liftoff (best if you have multiple accounts), and connect (customizable). They are all pretty different so I’d just look at each of them and see what works for you.

        I just installed Liftoff, and for an early access app, it’s pretty decent

      Jerboa is fine, but it assumes the server you connect to is kept up to date. When 0.18 came out without CAPTCHA support (which is the only way to combat bots, really), a bunch of servers with open registration decided to wait until 0.18.1 came out which should include CAPTCHAs again.

      In the mean time, everyone on these servers couldn’t use Lemmy because of API issues.

      I personally find other Lemmy apps to be better, but Jerboa does nothing wrong.

    Plenty of tropes available to fill up the card:

    Lemmy is becoming reddit, reeeeee!

    Elon Musk Hate.

    Are we still doing X?

    My breakup letter to reddit.

    Repost ancient memes as if its new and clever.

      The ancient memes are great though. Like be honest, you laughed at the stupid 2001 meme

      Don’t forget “Lemmy feels higher quality than reddit” followed by several hot posts that are compressed and re-reposted memes with pixel densities low enough to count.

      And the “I’m glad Lemmy doesn’t have the reddit hivemind” followed by posts with whole threads of comments straight out of reddit “AmericaBad” thought train.

      Pretty much, all of these things can be summed up by “suddenly acting better than reddit while acting identically”, I guess.

      lemmynsfw.com, your instance may have defederated with it. Supposedly many are because they don’t want it on their server.

        I feel like this is a major oversight to how lemmy works. I feel like instances should be able to maintain overall federation, but ‘disable’ another instance by default, so that it’s virtually invisible unless a user turns it on themselves. NSFW tag is way too broad, it encompasses so much more than porn

          The concern is often not preventing their users from seeing the content but preventing their servers from “hosting” to the content for liability reasons.

          If you’re using an app, instances like pornlemmy.com wont work. They say it’s because theyve made so many changes to the layout. I use Connect for Lemmy, and have been able to circumvent this by making an account on pornlemmy.com and logging in via my app, now I have all my needs satisfied. (Also kind of convenient as now it stays separated from my main feed)

    My only question is if they’re tankies then why even leave Reddit? That’s like a stoner moving to a state where weeds legal then leaving because there’s too much weed.

        Not sure if that was a joke or a sincere lack of familiarity. What tankies want is a restoration and supremacy of the USSR to spread what they called communism.

          Nah, Im just not familiar with them. I keep seeing people referring to them, but never saying exactly what their deal is. Even back on reddit.

              I believe the specific moment was when the USSR used tanks to crack down on peaceful protesters in Czechoslovakia; supporters were called tankies.

        Leftists aren’t tankies. Tankies are specifically pro USSR.

        A pro authoritarian state. That’s why they are called tankies after all lol.

          I think this is a matter of all tankies are leftists but not all leftists are tankies.

      Tankies are pro-authoritarian but not pro-corporate.

      Lemmy’s creators were part of a community that got banned IIRC (ChapoTrapHouse)

      I believe they are taking about the meta discussions, where I have seen this term frequently.

      Of course, it is used in the context of Lemmy’s peers and not Lemmy itself.
