Correct. Removed piefed. Thanks.

I’d vote for number 5

Mbin, Piefed and NodeBB

Mbin can also be used for microblogging.

2 of my cousins and my sister did.

Unfortunate how less people think of privacy these days.

This can be done client side. This as a backend change would be useless and would waste ressources.

I’ll try over the weekend.

Thanks but this guide is a bit too oversimplified, which is guaranteed to leave the user with question marks after a few minutes of using it.

And I also dislike the hardcoding of recommended instances (lemmy.world and lemmy.ml).

The most similar and FOSS one is Revolt (revolt.chat).

The next Lemmy release so I can finally continue with my Lemmy bot.

I find a reputation system good, however it should use percentages instead of points to make it different than what the karma system in Reddit was. People are less likely to farm for upvotes when it can only show 100% max.

Afaik piefed does not really show the reputation percentage to anyone (I might be wrong), but just shows a “low reputation” when it is under a certain percentage.

seems right. I wonder why the devs didn’t implement that. would have been a simple change

Neovim.

Ubuntu is bad. Go with any other distro. I generally recommend Fedora for newcomers. Specifically Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop edition: https://fedoraproject.org/en/kde/

If you fear you might break the system and don’t have confidence in fixing it yourself, go with Fedora Kinoite. It’s an immutable distro, so you can’t break the system as easily as mutable ones: https://fedoraproject.org/en/atomic-desktops/kinoite/

While I don’t necessarily like Flatpaks, you can start off by only using them for GUI applications. The most used repo is Flathub: https://flathub.org/

Yes.

Lemmy does have instance blocking.

1. According to the dev and some people, the frontend is more performant than Lemmy/Kbin/Mbin due to the smaller data sizes. I read that it was because the dev came from some african (?) city where they only had like what, 2G internet connections? As for the disadvantages, I can’t say I find it great that it is written in Python. I don’t like interpreted languages in production. That’s all. Comparing the performance of it and the backend of Lemmy wouldn’t be fair, since Lemmy’s backend is written in Rust (compiled).

2. Yes. Though not all features are federated (yet), for example flairs.

3. Unless platforms start implementing the DID standard, this will be hacky to accomplish without weird artifacts. One other way is to do it how Mastodon does it, but that does not bring your content with it.

4. Afaik only Interstellar supports it atm.

5. No.

I don’t see myself switching to it anytime soon.
