I wouldn’t count on Microsoft’s security:

If this can happen to governments using microsoft, it can happen to little guys using microsoft.

I’m optimistic. So many apps are developing at an astonishing rate. Recall that third party apps offer better experience than official reddit. Given time, third party apps will do the same too.

There are instances dedicated to other languages, but because they are new, and has not a lot of people, they won’t push at the top of your feed. The best thing for now is to help those instances grow by contributing to the instance and communities. As more activity sprouts, more and more specialized communities and instances will get pushed to the top.

As a start, you can select Hot or New rather than active and see if there are specialized regional instances. Or try directly searching for it.

If not start your own community in the language you desire. Bear in mind that lemmy only has 200k users. And most are probably from the US. So you’ll likely see more mainstream communities and in English.

If that’s still not enough, the best I can advise is to wait until it matures. The more mainstream it gets the more lesser known communities and regional instances can develop or start.

Yes to this! Fanfiction is a personal journey. It’s. Ever too late to start. Well said. :)

And what if your google account stops working? What if it’s hacked? What if google goes bankrupt? What if google discontinues chrome or remove the password features? What if Google follows reddit and starts charts charging you for your passwords? So many what ifs. So much power to give to a for profit company.

If you click the All, you can see that I am able to see posts from lemmy.ml even though I’m on lemmy.world

But it does show feeds from other instances. Tick all rather than local

If you’re interested here are my safari extensions

I think the history and bookmarks are separate. Only the engine is the same. For safari, enabling adguard and other extensions does wonders for privacy. :)

If you can, I highly recommend using a password manager like bitwarden with multiple backups spread on local password manager or local drive. Think of it this way, what happens if firefox or chrome were to suffer catastrophic failure? At least with a password manager, you can reinstall another browser and carry on as usual. :)

 
 

With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

 

Given the chance that you can talk to your younger self. It might help others who are lurking here too :)
