if you want feature completeness and linux the only option is foxit pdf editor. FOSS there is nothing, and inertia bogs us down, but it’s high time that eveyone ditches pdfs for good and transitions to markup or other free formats

Patrick Willems made a good video about Tenet. He calls it a Vibes Movie, in his explanation all the secret agent movies, like Bond, Mission Impossible, are vibes movies where the plot is actually meaningless. Tenet ups this to eleven. IMHO Nolan is a serial perpetrator of over his own head concepts, but I nevertheless like his movies because the’re at least not franchises.

This is not only true for KDE ;)

I like it, when I can change my username more or less freely within on and the same user account. I don’t want to talk politics with the same nick as my kinks.

On mastodon you have to click on each post to see the threat it belongs to. I too find this tedious at times. Here it is also easier to get going, because you don’t need an initial following.

I hope the cross-service-integration will get better. Think about the many embedded tweets within reddit. Now think how nice a seamless discussion of all participating on either mastodon or Lemmy will be.

It seems that this inter-contentedness (at least over Lemmy-instances) is already getting better!

After 10+ years of lurking on reddit I have commented five(?) times in one Lemmy week

I recently connected my Mastodon.social and lemmy.ml monikers by following/subscribing myself. It is not the experience I would like but a learnable limitation.

That said, we will see better cross-verse integration in the future.IMHO what we need most is a way to migrate accounts from one instance to another. Ultimately this has to be a feature of ActivityPub itself. Lacking this feature people will hesitate to move instances, which is a requirement for a healthy fediverse ecosystem.

/edit: a word

So, hoping there is no API policy change in Andromeda?

no sarcasm

Intriguing argument, you got there.

You are right, there are people who just gave up. But they sadly don’t comment most of the time.

I worked around this by opening beehaw in another tab and searching for the community/user/post i wanted to interact with. Copying the whole handle (as in your example) into the lemmy.ml’s seachbar showed the desired content on lemmy.ml’s instance.

Another workaround I’m using is abusing the ‘These posts might be related’ query to seach for keywords :D That’s how I found this post; I wanted to create a new one called ‘lemmy and fediverse instances’.

In my experience, people who explicitly state to be apolitical or demant non politicality happen to have worldviews which only in the best of cases fall under the label controversial.

Never mind, found out myself.

Thank you for this elaborate response. I did not want to imply any wrongdoings on the developers side, I am just starting making sense of all this. So, how do i subscribe to e.g. https://beehaw.org/c/creative while using lemmy.ml?

I am trying to interact with posts on beehaw.org on lemmy.ml, but to no avail. Does anyone know how to communicate inscance agnostic?

I am trying stuff right now and must say lemmy seems not jet well integrated into the fediverse. I searched for a post I wanted to comment on on mastodon.social. Yes, i found it and could comment it on mastodon, but it did not show on lemmy. I do not know if there is some kind of moderation which I have to await, but it is definetly not seamless. Likewise, how do one interact with other lemmy instances? I did not find a way to communicate over instance-borders. If somebody has more experience / insight into this, please help.
