And then you do it in a web browser and open developer mode

The fact that it just spits out a CSV in an announcement post per subreddit that you have to manually download and CTRL+F your username is hilarious for a company this big. They couldn’t implement a proper dashboard?

Does logging in work for you all? I’m on my phone with desktop mode on and it redirects to a blank page after logging in

Does no one remember the Ellen Pao era

Huh the more you know…

Are the icloud messages stored in plain text?

we’ve had calendar apps for years. I hated how that would litter comment threads.

Thanks! Ima check it out

Well think about it with this crude kind of inaccurate analogy.

You have a windows laptop. Your friend has a windows laptop. When you’re logged in to your laptop you can send your friend email. And see his emails to you.

But just because your laptop is windows and his laptop is windows doesn’t mean your windows log-in would work on his right? Lemmy works more like that. Reddit is kind of like one large windows laptop and everyone gets their own keyboard. Your log in works no matter which keyboard you use.

You may notice that Lemmy communities have the @ symbol like an email. So tech@lemmy.world is different from tech@lemmy.ml (just like how robert@yahoo.com is not the same account as robert@gmail.com). They MAY be made by the same Robert but there’s no guarantee.

You really just need one account. So in the communities tab from your instance (Lemmy.world) you can search for the community on the other instance (Lemmy.ml) for example tech@lemmy.ml.

Your account let’s you post and comment on @lemmy.ml posts

Its so weird visiting such an old looking site and getting the GDPR Cookie notification!

Honestly, the balance I’ve struck is that Reddit is purely for research now, like Wikipedia. I refuse to engage with it on a daily basis or use it for my social interaction needs but I decided to not avoid its massive database of useful info just because continued daily interaction is a pain

It sucks man. I’ve had similar experiences with my dad. There comes a point in life where you realize that not sharing a close passion or hobby with the people you love is OK. The love from the community is just as good. Yes it’s great if you can bond over the same things but at the end of the day it’s totally OK to NOT share a passion too.

And who knows, if Reddit gets worse he might switch or get more interested - this is just the beginning. For me, I just learned not to push the topic if my dad wasn’t interested. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.

I’d just do me own thing and if he ever comes to me later with questions I’m happy to chat and show him the ropes.

For example he wasn’t too interested in the Right to Repair talk, but I got him a Framework Laptop and he had to replace the Keyboard and found it so easy. I think he gets it now. But for 20+ years he was hardcore ThinkPad.

Give it time. If your dad never switches that’s OK too. Just share memes and content and don’t worry too much about the platform.

Like NewPipe for YouTube. It pulls YouTube videos but also other PeerTube federated instances

We’re here! 10 year reddit user, deleted my account last week. Forcing myself to post and not just lurk. Fellow lurkers please comment a bit. Once traffic is decent you may resume your lurking. Thank you
