It always annoyed me how the ads were formatted to look like posts, always felt like they were trying to trick people into clicking on it (which honestly that probably is the intent). Feel the same way with ads on Twitter. It’s one thing to show ads and another to format them to try and trick users into clicking on them

Same lol, I was like “why is it going to have a small battery? That seems like an odd choice”

It’s strange, I’ve seen other instances that have upgraded to 0.18 that have no issues whereas some have issues. I’ve also seen some that aren’t federating even on earlier versions. lemmy.blahaj.zone upgraded to 0.18 but seems to still be federating just fine with Kbin, but lemmy.ml seems super broken with Kbin. Hopefully it gets resolved soon, I’ve run across several communities I want to follow but can’t due to federation being broken

Oh gosh right wing TikTok sounds like a nightmare.

I self host Mattermost it’s a Slack+Trello alternative. But they do also have just the Trello alternative if you don’t want the Slack functionally it’s called Focalboard

I’ve heard other similar tools only grab the first 1000 comments/posts does this grab everything? Or does it have a similar limitation?

Yup! No worries! Glad you got it figured out!

On Kbin if the community you want isn’t showing in the magazine list, what you need to do is go to the search bar that searches the whole site and type in the Lemmy community name followed by an @ followed by the instance name. For example: firefox@lemmy.ml

After searching it should come up and you can subscribe to it. It only shows up in the magazines list once someone on the instance subscribes to it, so if you are the first to subscribe to it you have to do a manual search first

Seems like a strange move considering how well known the Blue brand is. Yeti isn’t too bad of a replacement, at least they aren’t changing it to Logitech

No interest whatsoever. I don’t like Facebook (I refuse to call them meta) or any of it’s subsidiaries. Mastodon works great for my Twitter like needs.

I do hope that most instances block them though, for obvious privacy reasons but also because it would be hilarious as it would basically invalidate one of the major selling points of the ActivityPub protocol for them.

I’m going to miss reddit but I’m also excited because I really like the idea of the fediverse and I’m hoping this makes it take off even more. People need to start moving away from centralized social media IMHO, how many times do platforms need to get ruined before people realize centralized platforms run by megacorps always end the same?
