...what if I told you my app was a website, desktop app, and mobile app all in one. Still have a lot of work to do, and expect it to be best optimized for mobile, but I'm pretty confident I can launch with a better desktop experience then Voyager.
Tout le plaisir est pour moi.
You're welcome. Even more so than you are perfectly right! Lemmy being ad-free is so f. good. While I was making that silly image, in a hurry in the middle of another job, I had a line about ads (I hate ads) but somehow managed to delete it :/
Thanks for making this, and especially using an excellent design in a shareable meme format that pitches Lemmy simply to users.
Thx.
One day we may need to have ads to pay the bills if we have another massive Reddit exodus. What are your thoughts on creating an alternate one that says something like “your data not tracked or sold”?
I'm hostile to ads, fully and openly and I'd rather pay than be forced to look at ads. But that's just my personal opinion and I would not want to impose it on anyone. At least, I think that's also what freedom should mean: the freedom for anyone to disagree with me and me with anyone ;)
The first version of the file had no mention of ads (I simply deleted it by mistake ;) and you can get the SVG here.
Im brand new here and digging it. The lack of ads is a big part of that. That and the chiller vibe. I do wish it had gifs/videos. Not just images & text
Note that I just updated it to answer guaraguaito's remark regarding Lemmy being ad-free. Also, the SVG file is available for anyone to play with (it's SVG file, made with Inkscape, using the DejaVu Serif font)
The main point is being able to still access all of the communities if your admin goes rogue (similar to what Reddit is doing). That's possible on Lemmy, you export / import your settings and you're set.
Keep the same username, add a link to your new and old profiles and the bio, and you just moved instances. You may have lost your comments history, but there is no karma anyway, so why care? And it's still accessible on your old account.
I think trying to go down that road could be a bad path, because it definitely could be. In a lot of ways, Lemmy is kind of the opposite of all those privacy first deals.
what do you actually mean when you say you hate politics? you hate having to think about how things suck? or you hate having to watch marginalized people fight for their rights?
I'm assuming they mean they want an experience that isn't dominated by politics. Which I totally understand and I agree with. It would be great if there were lots of active communities that were around hobbies and interesting and fun casual things. I guess that can only be achieved by reaching a certain scale though.
Sure, but it's healthy to take a break and not be fixated on politics. It should be possible to currate a list of subscribed communities that don't talk about politics at all. For example, someone might only view their subscribed communities instead of all and only see:

I completely neglected Linux, I'm guessing because I'm a Linux user and the amount of discourse on here seems pretty reasonable to me.

You seem to be implying that there's such a thing as too much trek, which is preposterous

But now I feel like desktop/website UI would be more interesting, as there are few opions on that space.

Never understood this point. There's no way you can move your account (including full history) to another instance, right?

We maybe should downplay the 'no ads' thing. I can definitely see a day when ads are required to support some sites.
I like that we'll have a choice on that day, but I do see that day.
3dmvr@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 1y
no, you can always make your own instance without ads, there will always be many without them
Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y
Here's a version without the ad
Ironically, it got added because someone in the comments wanted it
Libb@jlai.lu · 1 pts · 1y
And here is a link to Git repo with the two PNG and the SVG, aka the editable file for anyone to play with and change it as they like.
Could be worth posting the two versions/links in the OP?
