A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

TL;DR: Reddit is removing the option to opt out of ad personalization, targeting ads based on user activity. Some specific ad categories can still be limited, but there's no more opt-out option.

I left r/popular and r/all but lemmy still not yet an adequate replacement for non-tech niche hobbies and interests.

Can you give me an example of subreddits that you still follow? I'm setting up a fediversed instance on alien.top, which would mean that you'd be able to follow/interact with people still on reddit from the fediverse.

r/India, r/India investments, r/Kerala, r/malayalammovies, r/insidemollywood, r/watches, r/Porsche.

Nice, thank you. I'm still fixing some issues with the deployment, but hopefully it will be working soon. Do you mind if I send you a DM when it is ready?

FYI: You can subscribe now to !watches@style.land which is mirroring /r/watches and !porsche@gearhead.town is mirroring /r/porsche.

Do you know if the admins at https://kerala.party would be interested in having the mirrored India-related subs?

@gonta

Is that mostly due to a lack of critical mass of users, or are there other factors?

The former. I would love to start these online communities but I don't have the time nor emergy to maintain them; I'm barely browsing reddit and lemmy as it is.

For now, I can only compromise and use reddit.
