No, they can sort of interact with each other, but the data structure and the functions of the sites are different. Mastodon is Microblogging like Twitter, and Lemmy is a Link-aggregator/Forum type platform.

It’s been broken for a while, the devs haven’t really worked on it. It may be fixed in the future but it’s likely it won’t ever be touched again.

These should probably be added as extra default themes to the Lemmy software as a whole, that way they’ll be in all instances for accessibility purposes, not just a single instance.

Just don’t use Reddit’s app. I feel like that should go without saying but there are people who are unaware of how much spyware is packed into that piece of garbage.

It also has VPN bypass mechanisms built-into the app. It’s not good to install this.

Anyone advocating the use of the official app is either an idiot or a shill.

It takes much less if you don’t use their app, all browser based tracking implementations use Cookies, and IP address (usually for aggressive ban evaders).

Their app contains much more aggressive tracking techniques, including a VPN bypass, so I wouldn’t install it on your device at all. It’s better to use the mobile site on Firefox with ublock origin, possibly with OldLander and RES to make the mobile site more usable.

Reddit uses browser cookies to identify people uniquely, they do that in addition to using the IP address associated which they may not always use to initiate a ban of the account.

Use a browser like Mullvad browser with a VPN or Tor browser to create and access a new account.

Also never use the Reddit official app, it has way more trackers than possible in a browser including a VPN bypasser built-in.

Also and this might be obvious, don’t use an email associated with any previous accounts. That’s a low hanging fruit they target easily.

Because advocating running people over totally isn’t encouraging violence 🙄

Think of it this way, when you make a post that post will be automatically distributed by your server to everyone who is a subscriber, depending on the type of platform that could mean subscriber to the community, or it could mean to your user account in the case of things like Mastodon. When the post is received it will be copied and re-hosted on all the servers which have subscribers.

Exceptions to this happening are in the case of a user being banned or server being defederated, in which case the request is denied and the post isn’t re-hosted by the instance with the ban or defederation against the user or server who made the post. It should be known that bans and defederation only typically happen in extreme cases such as defending against spam, hate speech, or abusive users.

Might be a more simple explanation but I’m trying to keep it more simple since it helps people better understand the process.

It means it’s deleted by you but it isn’t permanently deleted, you can restore it anytime you want. When it is deleted only you and admins can see it, until it is dumped from the database, then it will only show as Permanently Deleted

Is that before or after Steam Deck users? Would it be higher than 1.96 if we included steam deck in the count?
