Thank you! I was curious but not ten-minute-video curious. I wonder if there's a cloud provider that doesn't block this sort of usage - could it work with onedrive/dropbox/etc?

Beehaw defederates like it's going out of style, Lemmy.ml doesn't allow criticism of the CCP. Lemmy.world seems much more stable and neutral.

I've found yandex to work even better. But yeah bing is way better than Google.

I have no clue what any of this means

I picked Rammy for the name and the sidebar:

Just another Lemmy instance. We've got a cool mascott though! Open to everyone.

Why trust some Big Tech corporation to host your data when some random geek can do it? All thanks to the power of the Fediverse!

Yeah, when I first saw the community name my first thought was that it was about being sick of the endless vitriolic spam towards him. I didn't even know there was 'worship' of him, much less to the point of feeling like spam - like you said, funny how echo chambers work.

I believe it is, yeah. I hear kbin.social's servers are absolutely swamped right now and having lots of issues, so I don't want to contribute to that, but I'm probably going to make a kbin instance my home soon. Does anyone know where to find a list of instances kbin.social has defederated?

This is a cool idea! I've seen split keyboards, but never one with the content in the middle. I'm pretty sure the only way of implementing this would be in a custom text editor app as I don't think it's possible to have a system keyboard go to the sides of content and squish it like that (on both iOS and Android), but I'd be happy to be wrong.

My smaller-than-average hands combined with how large phones are nowadays makes me have little trouble with the size of typical phone keyboards - I actually use one that lets you 'shrink' the typing area a bit as I find it more comfortable - but the comfort factor of holding a phone horizontally is big. I don't need to do much typing on my phone right now but if I did, I would definitely download an app like this.

I've recently started using Rats Search, basically a p2p torrent indexer. I don't want to bother with private trackers so this is pretty much perfect.

The main reason would be fracturing people who would be interested in joining across different communities - someone might find a few LGBT+ communities and miss others, same as if someone made another LGBT+ community here on lemmy.world which some people join instead of yours. Activity, content and visibility in these early days of Lemmy are kinda tough to get, and spreading out across instances makes it tougher.

But, of course you're totally free to make your own community too! That's part what makes federation so cool, if you're unhappy with existing communities and/or their moderation you can always make your own, and people from anywhere else can join. Best of luck :)
