      LMAO, if it’s a recurring one just redirect it to your instance instead, let them have their small bump for the month lol

        I donated both to my instance when they asked and to the Lemmy dev team. I don’t do monthly payments (subscriptions and donations) because I’m bad at organization and want to make it easy to keep track of my expenses.

      One of the very first bans I caught on Lemmy was pointing out to some tankie that I actually have family in China, speak the language, and have been there many times, and was therefore more qualified to comment on Chinese politics than some edgy western teenager.

    > Hungary is excluded from the list
    

    In general, I do agree that we must learn from the successes of past systems, but we also must learn from their failures, or else we’re doomed to repeat them. Issue is, these people that are usually from western countries that like to pretend everything bad Stalin did is fake news by the capitalist class, just like our far-right likes to pretend many things the nazis did are just Stalinist propaganda to make everyone right of Lenin look bad.

    Democracy is unironically good, and the main issue is politicians conning their voter base, not that we have the wrong kind of strongmen leaders in position.

    Russia: Is imperialist settler-colonial regime that conquered and settled while genociding much of native siberian, kamchatka populations etc.

    The devs should be invisible if they want their project to succeed like a California wildfire. This hurts Lemmy’s donations.

      Not necessarily a bad thing. There are multiple interoperable “threadiverse” platforms already. I like Lemmy currently but I’d happily switch to an alternative, and financially support them, if like the UX and the devs are less toxic.

          The current Piefed instances unfortunately don’t seem to show what they federate with. I personally would not join an instance which federates with lemmy .ml anymore, for example. But yeah there sure are a lot of options popping up which is great.

          I’ve been looking at Piefed and Mbin long-term. Don’t think I’m ready to make the change yet, but when Federation is more reliable, I’ll probably make the move to one of them.

              Interstellar is almost there but it still doesn’t have notifications unfortunately. It’s also limited to I’m pretty sure only one instance at the moment.

                It looks to me like it supports multiple. In fact, it has a default to anonymous kbin.earth setting that I don’t think that you can remove even if you add accounts on other instances.

                  You actually can remove the guest kbin.earth account, you just have to add a different account and switch to it first.

    The devs are the biggest problem with lemmy. Sure, there’s hexbear and whatever else, but the devs need to be better than most. A sane person sees that kind of post, and they leave before they even give it a chance.

      Sadly this is very true. And I literally said as much to nutomic directly last week. In the thread on world soliciting donations. Not even a reply. Not serious developers. Just kids with a few coding skills. Who are going to do what they want to do, because they want to. And if you have a problem with that then that’s your problem. Not theirs.

        As of this writing, I don’t think that any of the viable Threadiverse Lemmy alternatives (mbin, piefed) support native mobile clients via the API.

        investigates

        Hmm. Apparently that’s not correct. Interstellar can handle both mbin and piefed. It’s not in F-Droid, though.

          Interstellar shows up in fdroid when I search for it. So I’m not 100% I may have added another repository.

          I say fdroid. I was mistaken. I’m currently using droidify with the Izzy on android repository enabled.

            Yeah, I needed to do that to get it installed, trying it out right now.

            It feels more-responsive then Eternity, and the dev appears to be more active, but I did notice that it doesn’t appear to yet support monospaced blockquotes — just colorizes them differently at the moment. Probably some other stuff. Definitely usable, though.

            EDIT: Note that I’ve only used it on a lemmy instance, not mbin or piefed, so I can’t speak as to the support there.

              Currently I’m using Voyager. No one client has everything I want yet but it’s pretty close Interstellar looks wise would be a close second. It works pretty Snappy but it doesn’t have user tagging and a few other things that I like.

      I’m glad to be finally able to share Interstellar which supports Piefed as well as Lemmy and mbin. still work in progress though.
