I've been using Proton since it first came out and have had no problems with it. I have a paid account because it's worth it to me to not be the product. And for about $5/mo I get encrypted email, calendar, vpn, drive, and password manager (though I primarily only use the first three).

They have a free version that lets you try it out, though with limited features.

How does something like this compare to Obsidian?

Do they give a reason why they won't?

[–] themadcodger@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's the beauty of the fediverse, you get to see the same content but I whatever way works best for you.

[–] themadcodger@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Well welcome! Hope you stick around!

[–] themadcodger@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Very very bottom. That's something that should be fixed.

Welcome to the fediverse! Have fun exploring all it has to offer!

At this stage in development, things aren't quite robust yet. That said, much like email where you have to know someone's address before you can add them, it's a bit like that here.

If you search for @arstechnica@mastodon.social it'll show up and you can follow them from kbin. Same process for communities on Lemmy.

Ah no. Your login is only good for the server you signed up on. But once logged in you can talk to most of the fediverse. So the content is more or less the same. What differs is the experience between services.

Yeah, that seems to be a common misconception. But it's more that your Twitter account can interact with FB, IG, YT, etc, not that your Twitter account lets you log into all the different services.

I ended up with probably a dozen as I was exploring the fediverse, but ended up with 3 more or less but only primarily use two of them (kbin and Calckey… I have a Pixelfed, but use it as much as I used IG, which is rarely).

Are you asking if you can take everything of yours from Lemmy and move it to kbin? Or just if you can sign up and use it?

What's the 3rd platform?
