There is piefed also, both projects are quite exciting to me to think about the possibilities - e.g. of introducing some competition to Lemmy.ml. :-)

No, they are always right! (^Especially^ ^when^ ^they^ ^are^ ^wrong...^)

What are you expecting, a corp to... ah... uh... not be evil, or something? :-P

I wouldn't say "owned", but the rest... yeah:-(

Unfortunately for work I may have no choice:-(. Several of our daily work products I've tried on Firefox without success. Those also don't have ads.

I wish there were better alternatives. I may try out LibreWolf but I could not imagine it somehow being easier, though with enough effort put in the end result may be all that matters. Until the first update (possibly forced on the server end even if I don't on mine) that breaks everything and I cannot do my work for the day, in which case I will absolutely go crawling back to Chrome, bc they have us by the short hairs there.:-(

I think it is when you use the toilet - it is what you flush away.

Maybe check, b/c there's a chance that they may have undeleted it all now by now, so there's a possibility that you could still do it?

spez is close enough to spaz that it's good enough already as-is:-D

I am glad to see this level of interactivity. At the same time, I hope it doesn't try to do too much at once - like trying to be all things to all people holding it back too much from moving forward in any one lane, if that makes sense?

On the other hand, the developer can do whatever they want, so I totally get working on the exciting stuff, especially if they (unlike Ernst) are amenable to allowing others to flesh in the details for the stuff that they enjoy less.

Wow, the more I learn about it, the more exciting it seems!? Thanks for sharing that.:-)

Oh wow, community wikis with version history even - that's fantastic.

Best of all though seems to be that it is in a language that people actually use - no disrespect to Rust bc it's arguably the best, certainly the hottest language right now, but it definitely seems to be limiting progress that so few people are willing to learn it.

Thank you, I keep mixing it up with Pixelfed in my mind and forget that it exists:-).

It looks both really primitive (e.g. comment from Rima about lack of moderation tools) yet also extremely sophisticated at the same time. Like for me the upper right hand menu bar disappears entirely in dark mode (Android Firefox) - it seems still fully functional but I could not see it to know to click under most conditions - but those category arrangements and how they improve discoverability, it just makes so much sense!

Wow, now I'm as excited about this project as about Sublinks:-).

Pretty much, as others have explained here. I wanted to add that in addition to its fork Mbin there is also the Sublinks project to make a new implementation of the ActivityPub protocol and thus surf the Fediverse independent of Lemmy. https://sublinks.org/ (link to GitHub there too)
