I believe programming.dev is the main instance for all programming related communities that left reddit.

After Google approval, what is the size of the tester pool?

Had the same thought. Glad it’s not just me.

You can install the kbin interface as a PWA on mobile, and it works pretty well. There are some kinks for sure, but it’s 100% usable and better than lemmy.

Coming in hot with the real answer as to why it feels that way on the fediverse relative to the rest of the internet.

Power Toys Run (from the paper toys suite) is a fantastic launcher that’s better than the start menu.

Stack exchange is CC licensed, and they host a lot of user content.

Where do you think is a reasonable price? Search is something most folks use daily, multiple times per day. If the quality of results is good, that seems like a small price to pay. Netflix is pushing 20 a month, and many other streaming services are in the 10—15 range.

Could still get hacked, but the point stands that is an extra level of verification.

Not a huge surprise there is a large anti-capitalist faction on lemmy, so this isn’t terribly surprising.

I’m no meta apologist, they’ve done enough to warrant skepticism. The reality is they can harvest the data even if you defederate their main instance, by setting up shadow instances or just scraping other instances, so that argument doesn’t really hold water for defederation. The bigger one is content vs spam coming from their instances and possible EEE measures, but immediate defederation only serves to keep them siloed off and does not let them function as an offramp to better instances for regular users.
