I just signed up through this lemmy.world thing. Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? This federation thing could be better explained.
Nonetheless, I find Reddit’s disrespect for its users to be an ill omen. A 1-month deadline for anything as deeply ingrained as 3rd-party apps sends a clear message that Reddit doesn’t want to compromise. On the desktop, I use old.reddit.com, but for mobile, I use 3rd-party apps from the open-source F-Droid app store. I don’t mind ads, I just like my user interface to enhance my workflow, not slow me down, track me, and actively annoy me.
It should be fine, except someone told me that we can see stuff from Beehaw, but Beehaw can’t see stuff from us. Because Beehaw chose to set up their site that way. IDK why or any other details of that, though.

It’s great to see everyone here!
