Try replacing the batteries. That’s often the reason for this type of thing.

Thank you, that’s an important distinction. I hope they can be trusted to live up to that. However it still feels l pretty problematic to bring them in and would be a lot of opting in to debate and implement. It remains a pretty big violation of user privacy and trust and it says here:

As if that weren’t bad enough, preparations for the sale went poorly, and it seems large categories of Tumblr posts that weren’t supposed to be sold were added to the mix anyway. That data includes:

Private posts from public accounts

Posts on deleted or suspended accounts

Unanswered asks

Private answers

Explicit posts

Posts from partner accounts, like ad campaigns where Tumblr doesn't own the rights. (Apple is specifically named here.) 

One advantage over wordpress is that it avoids bringing its parent company, Automatic, into the Fediverse.

From Wikipedia:

In February 2024, Automattic announced that it would begin selling user data from Tumblr and WordPress to Midjourney and OpenAI.

This is what it redirects to if it seems safer: https://šime.eu/3

That’s definitely not the type of stuff I’d like to discover there. Decentralization is great but not if it just means hyper localization to the point that it’s hard to see content from other instances. It seems like the development of Peertube has gotten pretty stagnant, especially compared to other platforms on the Fediverse. A few years ago it ranked just behind Mastodon in monthly active users . Since then the Fediverse has gotten much more active and the developers of Mastodon, Pixelfed and Lemmy have all adjusted to it and made advances in their software, overtaking Peertube in Monthly Active Users. Hopefully the developers at Peertube can make some similar adjustments to bring in more users and more content.

I love Peertube but but finding content can be challenging at times. I just added it so hopefully this helps. Should make de-googling much easier.

I’m from Boston and this is painfully accurate. Especially the last line. My last job was a delivery job and me and the other person were constantly questioning if it was one lane or two.

Thanks. They’ve referred to themselves as a fork of Signal but maybe a bit of an oversimplification

I have Session. Given that it’s a fork of Signal and more anonymous I’m inclined to trust it from a privacy standpoint but can’t say I have the knowledge to really critique it’s tech. People aren’t really on there yet, at least nobody I know, so I don’t have much use for it yet but I would if it catches on a bit more at some point.

I wondered this too but I think it’s fairly simple. It looks like you head over to the community you want to post in and then you’ll see a menu in the top right with the option to post and other choices. It seems a little more intuitive in the mobile browser but that should work

I follow my own Lemmy account with the address steveklord@slrpnk.net on Mastodon and I believe I’ve followed other users as well so I do believe it’s possible.

You can interact with Lemmy posts from Mastodon but I’m not sure about Mastodon from Lemmy. if you enter your name @DonDino@mujico.org in your Mastodon search bar you will have federated your Lemmy and Mastodon instances and you will be able to view a copy of your Lemmy posts and discussions on Mastodon and other Masto users who are federated with you can see these and boost or reply as well. It’s also helpful to enter the handle of the Lemmy community you’d like to view in the Mastodon search bar ( asklemmy@lemmy.ml for this community specifically ) and you can follow Lemmy discussion for specific communities there and boost them to share to your Mastodon followers.

Sorry if I misunderstood. Unfortunately I don’t believe the opposite is possible so you won’t be able to see Mastodon posts in your Lemmy feed the way you can see Kbin posts. Maybe someone else has a more useful answer.

The official apps for Android & iOS are getting ready to be released for Beta testing very soon. I’m not sure but there may be a FOSS third party app out for Android already
