You don't x)

More seriously, in these cases, I often rely on emails instead. But I don't really use group chats a lot (even with my contacts that are on Signal), nor send many files, so it's not features I really miss. And SMS works with everyone, so it's always my default if the contact isn't on Signal.

An issue I have with trams is that they are very slow if not properly integrated in both the city layout and the general population of the city. For example, in Marseille, trams have to frequently compete with pedestrians and bicycles that keep walking/riding on the tram line. This doesn't happen with buses (or not as frequently).

The one thing that makes them better than buses in Marseille is that trams are more reliable time-wise since they don't have to share the road with cars.

Any reasons why you do not consider Mull, or even simply Firefox on android ? Mull works really well for me and can really be seen as the Librewolf equivalent for Android.

Poorly advertised is an understatement, I never heard about this within Reddit xD I always thought that it was a third-party thing.

It is indeed similar to the "Local" feed from Lemmy then. However, it doesn't have the "I'm part of a common family" feeling that I see in an instance like jlai.lu where we know that all users from the instance see the same content.

But TIL, thank you :)

I agree, I feel like most of the "feed" issues are simply because users are in big instances where the "Local" feed indeed becomes meaningless.

Something that would however be cool would be a way to view the Local feed from another instance, without having to actually go to the other instance.

To me, the Local feed is one of the biggest strengths of Lemmy. It allows having in the same platform a community/instance based feed (for example, Local in jlai.lu allows you to find most of the French activity in Lemmy), and at the same time, I can use "Subscribed" and/or "All" feeds to get a broader view of the Fediverse.

Without the "Local" view, Lemmy would just feel like another Reddit clone to me, where French communities would just be flooded by English-speaking communities. On Reddit, the French community actually had to create a subreddit dedicated to listing all French subreddits, just because the discoverability of non-English-speaking subreddits is just awful by default on Reddit.

And at the same time, I don't see the need for "curation algorithms". The "Subscribed" feed already fills this use case for me.

jlai.lu because it allows to simply use the "Local" feed to browse most French related communities, while still being able to browse the rest of the Threadiverse using the "Subscribed" or "All" feeds.

To me, that's a huge improvement to Reddit, where it allows language-based and topic-based communities to have dedicated places which are easier to explore.

Indeed. I always connect as a guest through the browser. Never had any issues.

On est certain de ça ? Peut-être qu'il y a plusieurs personnes derrière le compte "Camus" !

Noise is a huge issue. That aspect alone makes me hate motorbikes.

Without any noise, they would be mostly fine, better than cars anyway.

TheLinuxExperiment has a good video about it: https://tilvids.com/w/3RjSzdS9jjK2y1nP3M6oJD

One way to deal with this issue in Mastodon is to follow hashtags instead. Personally, it is also not for me, but it is still better than following individuals.
