I’m still using my FP3 that is now close to 4 years old. It’s still working great. I just changed the battery once, but that was trivial to do. I didn’t have to change anything else, but most parts are still available in their store.

I never really understood the need for such apps when mail clients such as Thunderbird exist.

It may be a good way for me to get into Rust a bit more. And if it could help Lemmy as a whole at the same time, it would be positive for everyone.

So I’m definitely interested in this group.

I’m not sure that all apps let users set the language of a post.

The instance works really well :)

Ok that’s fair.

Honest question but do you really want to see content that is in languages that you don’t understand ?

I still agree that the UI needs to be clearer though.

During rush hour, it will definitely have an impact on the flow of traffic with most roundabouts, which are usually not very big (in France anyway).

I don’t use it much, but I do appreciate the one I have on my phone, since I don’t always have my BT earbuds with me. Whereas I usually always have some cheap wired earbuds somewhere with me.

• Cars, even if I use public transports and my bike as much as possible, I still have to use it sometimes
• Supermarkets, I try to buy things elsewhere but it’s not always possible…

Poorly advertised is an understatement, I never heard about this within Reddit xD I always thought that it was a third-party thing.

It is indeed similar to the “Local” feed from Lemmy then. However, it doesn’t have the “I’m part of a common family” feeling that I see in an instance like jlai.lu where we know that all users from the instance see the same content.

But TIL, thank you :)

I agree, I feel like most of the “feed” issues are simply because users are in big instances where the “Local” feed indeed becomes meaningless.

Something that would however be cool would be a way to view the Local feed from another instance, without having to actually go to the other instance.

To me, the Local feed is one of the biggest strengths of Lemmy. It allows having in the same platform a community/instance based feed (for example, Local in jlai.lu allows you to find most of the French activity in Lemmy), and at the same time, I can use “Subscribed” and/or “All” feeds to get a broader view of the Fediverse.

Without the “Local” view, Lemmy would just feel like another Reddit clone to me, where French communities would just be flooded by English-speaking communities. On Reddit, the French community actually had to create a subreddit dedicated to listing all French subreddits, just because the discoverability of non-English-speaking subreddits is just awful by default on Reddit.

And at the same time, I don’t see the need for “curation algorithms”. The “Subscribed” feed already fills this use case for me.

You can force a video to appear in Lemmy by copying the original peertube URL of the video into lemmy’s search. It will take 2-3 seconds to import it and show up in the search results.

jlai.lu because it allows to simply use the “Local” feed to browse most French related communities, while still being able to browse the rest of the Threadiverse using the “Subscribed” or “All” feeds.

To me, that’s a huge improvement to Reddit, where it allows language-based and topic-based communities to have dedicated places which are easier to explore.

Yes, that is the best way. Liberapay is also great as it doesn’t take any commission itself (although if you actually use liberapay frequently, it would be a good idea to also donate to them!).

Yes it exists: !confidently_incorrect@lemmy.world

TheLinuxExperiment has a good video about it: https://tilvids.com/w/3RjSzdS9jjK2y1nP3M6oJD

One way to deal with this issue in Mastodon is to follow hashtags instead. Personally, it is also not for me, but it is still better than following individuals.

Pixelfed can support videos, but it has some restrictions which doesn’t make it very accessible.
