Yeah. This would be nice. Anything outside of Lemmy should open in a new tab.

God this sucks…

Yep! Just got out this morning!

I finally got it!

One thing we can do is encourage the Instagram users in our lives to open a fediverse account and use Instagram from the other side.

The hardest part for me was realizing how shit Google search is without appending reddit.

If it is not funded through user donations, how is it self sufficient? Genuinely curious.

Yeah. I worry about how many things are moving into Discord. They are giving so much away for free right now that it stifling competition. Eventually they will need to turn a profit and, with competition reduced, they can get real shitty with it.

What would the checkmark mean?

Wikipedia is set up as a nonprofit. They have annual fundraising drives asking their users for money. They also have an endowment and receive grants.

A donation drive could be a good model but the decentralized nature of the platform would complicate things.

I love this idea. Can we do this please?!

Thank you for all the hard work! The app is getting better very quickly.

Cheers!

AKA The profit motive

HOCKY STICK!

This is impressive despite my lack of understanding.

Wait. What? LinkedIn? What’s the draw over there?

Same. Always kinda talked myself out of commenting on reddit because my comments would never be engaged with. Felt like I missed the boat there. Time to start over and build a new community.

Yeah. On Android there is Jerboa. Pretty bare bones but seems to get the job done. Hopefully it will be updated and flushed out.

Yeah. I think this is pretty much the accepted narrative. Kill the 3P apps -> Consolidate the user base -> Serve everyone adds -> Hopefully turn a profit -> Go public or sell the company -> Founders/Investors cash out and profit.

The collateral damage is that they risk killing the culture that makes Reddit a place people want to congregate.
