How difficult is it running your own instance. I’m very interested in that.

The number one reason a radio check fails is there is no one at the other station even listening to you. Number two reason is the other station doesn’t even have their antenna plugged in. It’s wildly frustrating.

I don’t know that you could ever remove posts or comments from Reddit either. I think it’s safer to describe it as making a comment public or not. I’m assuming that Reddit itself keeps records of all deleted posts. It’s best to treat everything you post online as public and permanent. I honestly think reddits ability to edit comments was a problem. I’ve seen so many arguments where people go back and change previous posts so now the arguments don’t make sense or to make the person responding to them look like an asshole.

Matrix is a protocol that if used slows any messenger to communicate with each other kinda like lemmy federation. There are many messengers that use it and if you establish a bridge you can use your matrix client to message people on signal or what’s app

Simplex, element(or most matrix compatible messengers) session, bchat. If the goal is to get your family to switch over though good luck.

Wait you can see lemmy feed from mastodon. Please teach me this magic I have both Mlem and mastodon but I’m never on mastodon if i could interact with lemmy on there that might change everything.

I don’t think I’m understanding this right cause it sounds like you’re trying to make it more fun by adding more rules. If there are 20 groups that are all about pickles that’s fine they each like running things their own way. Eventually one group gets popular and that’s where the majority goes. I think your frustration could better be solved with something like tags where groups could choose to associate certain tags words that makes search easier like tag: pickles-fermenting-homemade-cucumbers and that could clear up search from people just wanting to share pickle Rick memes.

That’s really interesting and wasn’t my experience at all. I wonder what other requirements are out there for different instances?

You wrote about this in your application? What application? Do some instances require an essay to join?

Maybe use it to buy awards for posts announcing or supporting the migration or protest?

The topics and advice where wildly outdated and he didn’t want people starting at the beginning and taking advice that he has already matured passed himself or use procedures that just don’t work anymore.
