Why don't you just run your own instance and federate with everyone?

If this is just for the fun of it I would try to run these services inside a virtual machine and just screen capture them. Never tried it but I don't see a reason why it won't work.

Just installed it and there is an option to have a "show original" button.

I don't agree that the vast majority of the people left there are bootlickers.

Most of the people left there seem to be uninterested in technology from the arts and crafts related subs and that's what's really missing in Lemmy/kbin.

There is no /c/woodwoking, /c/printmaking or /c/embroidery and the people that usually visit these don't really care about the underlying tech. Most of the time they just want to share their crafts with their community and things to just work.

Wouldn't such automated crossposting result in some really spammy communities without actual people filtering them?

I think reddit can afford to have so many posts in these massive subs because they have a massive community that engages with the posts by up/down voting them.

Could you recommend some? I would love to use a firefox fork (be it privacy focused or not) with all of the Mozilla bloat removed. Last I checked most of the forks looked (almost) abandoned.

Now that you've mentioned teddit, is it using the same API as the third party apps? Is it going to survive July 1?

That's a pity. I never quite understood why these privacy-focused browsers always reskin chromium, instead of firefox.

I guess I could just search for it, but is this chromium based?

Edit: The mac and ios versions are based on WebKit, the android one is based on chromium. I would guess the windows one is based on chromium as well, but cant find anything definitive.

I would guess this is not a Lemmy problem. Probably some of the instances are a bit overloaded at the moment. Here on dbzer0 I don't experiece any of that.

Does anyone have any idea if this would be an easy transition? I mean, the UI is already in place and just the api needs to be changed and some bugs ironed out, or is it a much bigger effort?

That looks really cool. I'm currently using Pico for a side project as a minimal CSS framework that is still usable, but this definitely looks promising.

I kinda miss Skeleton to be honest.
