I feel like logging in with Facebook and Google on sites is just as much about them gaining access to scrape more info about you as it is for your "convenience." While there could be value with Lemmy, it's not nearly what it is with Facebook and Google. So I would say not likely.

I'm digging it so far. My only things of initial note are the account switch button and logout button are pretty close together and, while I appreciate an option to enlarge content text, I think there needs to be an option to enlarge UI text. Some of the stuff, like the subscription list in the drawer, is tiny for my old eyes (and fat fingers). Oh, and maybe a way to tell you've up/downvoted something at a glance other than the vote number changing. I've added the app on Obtainium to continue following along. ๐Ÿ˜Š

My personal favorite is the theory that it's coming ahead of the planned EMP on October 11. ๐Ÿ™„

What'd you end up on, out of curiosity? I was on Fedora for a couple years, but with the whole Red Hat thing (that I don't fully understand the implications of), I switched to openSUSE Tumbleweed. Still have love for Mint, though, after all these years.

I just want them to add precipitation radar. That's all I really feel like they're missing.

Meta is killing off Messenger Lite soon. I don't know that they're embracing the Lite route as much anymore.

I just wish it had a precipitation radar. I'm pretty sure the data is available because I've seen another FOSS app that had it, but I can't remember which now.

Thank you so much for finding it! This is it. It really sucks that it has to come to that.

I wish I could find the post/comment from a small instance admin that said it quickly became a nightmare trying to moderate without a team, and people were filling their drive storage with white noise files and crap, needing to be purged twice. I believe they even mentioned they were shutting down the instance and it being a cautionary tale of why not to join a smaller instance.

EDIT: waveform.social

Between Beehaw and LemmyWorld, I'm on my third account at this point. What starts as an alt quickly becomes the main under the right circumstances. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Good ol' Bungiefan_ak, creating troll accounts on any instance that'll have them to troll all things piracy and post transphobic and hateful shit wherever they go.
