They do. Every time I look at them my mouth waters.

Are you a Kiwi? Come join us on lemmy.nz! We’ve got a post with the must active NZ communities here.

It would be great to be able to just swipe away posts, whether voted on or not.

That seems to depend on the community or instance. I can see them on some, but not others.

It can’t be bought or sold because it doesn’t belong to anyone. That’s one of the benefits of it being open source.

And anyone can set up their own instance, so there’s no way to force a change at that end either. That’s one of the benefits of it being decentralized.

Any unwanted changes would just result in a fork, and instances would use that instead. The way it’s designed stops it being taken over by corporate interests.

I’ve heard kbin.social is temporarily using CloudFlare to stop DDOS attacks and manage the sudden influx of users. That apparently stops you being able to subscribe from Lemmy, but it should be working again soon.

I’d like to know how to do it once it’s working though.

There’s actually a Lemmy app on called Lemmur. I downloaded it but it doesn’t seem to be working at the moment.

Reddit could have charged the actual lost revenue plus a reasonable mark up. Then the 3rd party apps could have survived on a paid subscription basis, and Reddit would’ve made more off those users than if they’d moved to the official app.

Now a bunch of them, like us, are jumping ship instead. It was a dumb business decision. And this kind of stubborn disregard for their users is the kind of thing that destroys companies.

I’m on lemmy.nz, for the kiwi whānau
