What a shit show.
That's the main reason I don't ever consider looking at posts on Facebook when someone sends me them... Forced to login or use the app.
Do they not understand that everytime someone loads a shared link, they still gain ad revenue? They're shooting themselves in the foot, arm, leg and head.
Exactly, was thinking the same thing. Reaching into the pool of users from other social medias / communities is a key to growth. So as long as we're not just promoting Lemmy like a bot and rather spreading the word that it's here.
As of right now, there's not a whole lot of talk about Lemmy elsewhere besides Reddit. Would really help SEO even for Lemmy itself branching into larger communities.
