dude lets work together a build something cool! I'm happy to set up a separate repo etc :D
I do see what you're saying but if you were concerned about privacy would you be that open? And reddit is scraped and archived loads so the same is still true there also https://www.unddit.com/ https://www.reveddit.com for example
i didn't downvote bro that was just what was there
.NET i used in tons of companies, I don't see it being a hurdle to getting a job at all.
just to add that i have read that your comments won't be deleted/edited from blacked out subreddits, so maybe worthwhile to wait until the subreddits are back up (if they do come back!)
I found this out after I deleted my account which is a little whoops as I can't now log back in and finish the job haha.
Its literally a public network where people chose to post things publicly for anyone to see and consume, I don't understand what degree of privacy people are expecting? If you have some insight into this or your own privacy concerns I'm super interested cuz its left me baffled.
I wouldn't stand out in a public city centre and expect privacy. However with the fediverse at least I choose which city centre I'm standing in and if I still don't like it, I can stand in my own and block anyone else to access it (yay privacy :D).
Also reddit served 'targeted' ads, which were admittedly pretty pants, so they had some degree of selling access to your data to third parties, which the fediverse doesn't have.
I like the hackernews approach where downvotes on comments aren't seen, the comments are just faded out. The more downvotes = the more invisible it is.
Also thought this could be a cool approach with nice side effects - https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2023/jun/social-media-trustdistrust-buttons-could-reduce-spread-misinformation
haha not that you should care, but guess you can be downvoted via other instances.
I was on kbin for an afternoon and got downvote brigaded for calling out a highly updated post for spreading false info. I probably I could've worded my comment all fluffy and nice, but I was frustrated at the op for making things further confusing for everyone and the tone of my comment reflected that. I since deleted my kbin account and hoping that downvote brigade trend and hivemind stays on kbin.

~ Jerboa devs probably
Yes you'll be able to subscribe to their magazines which would be seen as communities on lemmy and people on mastodon.
The api which apps like jerboa etc. speak to won't be compatible out the box however.
I've not tested it so I didn't enable it for android but I don't see why it wouldn't to be honest. It's getting late here now so I'll have a play tomorrow :)
