What will Apple do if they if the EU continues their plans with regard to client side scanning? That's not one country, but many.
Apple previously planned on introducing client side scanning, but backed out after they received a high amount of critique.
The developers can bring out both.
But it's already possible. If you review this OP on a Kbin instance, you'll see who upvoted the comment with most upvotes.
Not integrating it means you give the impression to users it's not public information. But it is public.
Apparently, Kbin users can also see what Lemmy users upvote them. Is that correct?
What platform? Windows? Unix? Linux?
A close cousin of Lemmy is Mastodon. If you consider Lemmy a federated version of Reddit, then Mastodon is a federated version of Twitter.
The largest Mastodon server is probably Truth Social, on which former president Trump posts his messages after being banned from Twitter.
Truth Social uses the same protocol as Mastodon of Lemmy: ActivityPub. The difference: the Truth Social administrators blocked the Truth Social server from sending out messages to or receiving messages from other servers. So it's a private Mastodon.
Bottom line: if you run your own Lemmy server you can block whatever server you want or none at all. And others can block your server if they want. If you create ab account at somebody else's Lemmy server, the administrator can decide to block other Lemmy servers.
If you use a Mastodon account, it's very easy to migrate to another server including your followers. Lemmy accounts do not appear to offer that functionality (yet?), but I expect a migration tool will be created in the future. So if an administrator decides to block another Lemmy server, but you don't like that, you might easily move to another server. As of yet, you can't however and need to create an account on another Lemmy server.
What was wrong with feddit.de?
I don't understand why some people get so confused either. It's just like choosing an e-mail provider.
Create the account, try it out, if you don't like it, delete it. If you do like it, keep it. How hard can this be? Then again, it apparently is.
The client apps might help out by including an account creation wizard.
Or to put it in other words: what features are lacking?
Do people seriously miss 'awards' and other not very interesting functions.
Same problem with feddit.nl
But the password does work if I use the wefwef.app.
Did you review the Patreon page? I’m not interested in having my name displayed. I’m interested in having the developers take a certain direction.
Donating for hardware (like donating to Lemmy instance administrators) is also completely different.
But donating to some group of developers without being able to influence the direction of development really feels like a money pit to me. I’d rather spend my money on charities. Access to dev chatroom is the closest you can get.
My point with regard to Voyager is: there’s no point in building a beautiful house (because Voyager is very good), if you know the foundation of the house is missing.
And specifically the lack of migration tools is a very fundamental issue IMO. Yes, it might be developed in the future. But it might also take years, who knows.
Mastodon still doesn’t allow quote posts (some clients do though) because quote-tweets (or should I say quote-Xs?) can be used in a toxic way. Development promised to implement them in the back-end months ago, but it still isn’t possible. Searching is also absent on purpose. Those are fundamental issue that block further growth of Mastodon IMO. But that’s obviously just my opinion.
That’s why I think Voyager devs should spend time on Lemmy development IMO. Without a fundamental tool to migrate accounts and communities, there’s really no point in spending time on Voyager features.
I think most Lemmy users haven’t experienced an instance administrator suddenly quitting. Think through what would happen to your community if that happens. It’s gone. That’s what happens. Unless you decide to host your own instance of course, but try and get users attracted to it.
