Read it now. It made my day a bit better :)

Lemmy is social media

Still easier to uninstall an app than dealing with abstinence syndrome.. but if you think beyond that stop watching asses on the internet is like stop doing heroin. So finally I think what you say is fair.

This is how I use front end apps. Other than the data contained in the posts, I have no interest in Insta, FB, et al. Similar to how I use RedLib for Reddit because, despite Reddit turning into a cesspool, there are still some great technical subs that contain valuable info. Interacting on Reddit tho, is a hard pass.

I disagree. Billions are being made, data centers and AI machines are being built that use the electricity that could power 50 million homes, and that is Meta ALONE. Your tattoo artist and musicians are perpetuating it. Oh well, they don't need my business. I don't support people that do that.

If people keep saying "but I have to", then fuck it, meta won.

That was the name! And yes, you're right. It was a full client.

I would like to add RSS, I don't think it's feasible https://cadence.moe/blog/2022-09-01-discontinuing-bibliogram

A much-requested feature I added early on was RSS feeds. This ended up getting quickly turned off for the main instance, because RSS usage was dwarfing interactive usage. Many of these feeds had been added to people's readers and forgotten about. Even today I still receive a decent number of forgotten requests for feeds — these forgotten feeds haven't returned useful data for more than two years. Feed requests aren't free. Bibliogram needs to make an outgoing web request, wait for it, and convert the response data. This also uses up a piece of Bibliogram's rate limit to Instagram, even if nobody's there to see the feed that Bibliogram generates.

I could add it, but have it disabled by default, so anyone hosting a personal instance can enable it.
