Not live for me yet unfortunately

I really Lemmy and Kbin. Both provide solid desktop experiences and app development is only accelerating.

One thing in particular I am having a hard time with is discovering communities. I know there are a couple websites dedicated to this but discovery on both Lemmy and Kbin is not very easy. This becomes compounded by the fact that some communities have fractured across numerous communities or magazines. Referencing different communities/magazines is also was more annoying than doing /r/dancing or whatever.

Is there a solution to these problems?

It looks A LOT like Infinity for Reddit, which is open-source.

I got interested in it because I absolutely loved Ghostrunner! Have you played that?

What "closely" federated instances? It is blank under "Instances:"

@V699 I didn't know either. Thanks for asking!

@admin

 

Under status, it says

Instances:

What does this mean exactly?

Thank you for the well-reasoned response! I am definitely leaning toward Garmin or Withings because of their privacy policies.

I would use it for disposable searches once a flatpak is introduced. Right now it is too cumbersome to set up and maintain on Linux

 

For example, let's say I want to use a Fitbit. I download the app, enter my real height and weight, but I give a masked email, fake name, fake birthday, etc. I always use the app with a VPN.

When doing an outdoor activity, I would allow my precise location on a run.

Is there really much of a privacy risk if they don't know who I am?

Please don't just suggest Gadgetbridge or a similar alternative.
