You mean checking 6 different Android communities across 6 different instances just to keep updated on what's going on isn't fun?

You mean seeing the same post on the front page of everything, posted across 30 communities, every damn day isn't fun?

Either Lemmy needs to natively support it, or a third party app, but we need the ability to create multi-communities (like multi subreddits), so I can check all 6 Android communities in 1 tap.

We also need the ability to consolidate all of the same links/titles into 1 collapsed post, so we don't have to scroll through the same news stories a million times.

Unpopular answer: you should.

Lemmy is already going downhill since the big surge. Even if you look at sign ups, numbers don't mean better.

The entirety of Lemmy is too FOSS and Linux focused, and even trying to have a normal basic tech discussion about anything you'll find yourself getting hate thrown towards you for not using Linux or FOSS. Lemmy users bully the crap out of Sync and Boost developer for asking for a few bucks to support development.

I'm only here because I got IP banned from Reddit, thinking Lemmy would take off. I don't miss Reddit, but I'm a little sad I ruined my chances of ever being able to go back. Any new account is immediately permabanned.

Even if you stick around, I genuinely don't believe Lemmy will be here by next October. All of these instances will see a decrease in users, decrease in donations, and they'll shut down one by one. Actually, weirdly enough having everyone move to just a couple popular instances might keep Lemmy alive longer, as everything won't be so fragmented.

I'd advise against joining any .zip or .mov instances, as many businesses ban those TLDs for security reasons.

I even have them banned at home so my girlfriend who works from home sometimes doesn't get tricked.

The one where I need a place to rent, and the real estate agent communicates between my landlord and myself via WhatsApp group chat?

Your landlord tells you no smoking in the house and you do it? What parallel reality do you live in?

That's awesome. Sounds like you already had a lease signed. Now try that again when you're one of the 60 others applying to the house.

They'll rip up your lease on the spot for being difficult.

I think that's the worst part. It just looks like an untrustworthy clone that is trying to steal your info.

Seems weird not to build your own identity, especially when torrents aren't always safe.

I don't forget what it's like to be 15, because I had a great childhood, but I also grew up and started doing crazy things like moving out, renting a home, etc, and if your landlord requires you to download WhatsApp, or any other app to communicate, you do it. Otherwise you'll find yourself on the street, messaging yourself on Signal lmao.

Not if you have friends.

Show me listings.

So because 1 city has affordable houses you talk for all of Canada? lmao.

Link me some realestate listings, please. I'd love to see these houses..

Why would anyone interested in privacy connect to any public WiFi? That's crazy.
