The default nowadays is Discord, especially for online-based communities.

What I think are underrated channels, alreayd listed channels removed. Some have irregular schedules but still worth checking out.

• Saveafox: domestic fox rescue

Science/Tech

• Captain Dissilusion: video editing vs disinformation
• Cody’s Lab: currently building a “Mars” habitat
• The Friday Checkout: weekly tech highlights

Music

• CSGuitars: electric guitar science

Hydrox could be a detergent, medicine, plumbing brand, pet supplument, video game boss, maybe even a sports drink but NOT a freaking cookie.

These are bad but God forgive the massgrave of uncreativity that is Yotube comments

Gosh I hate award speech edits

I think the most logical placement for a fingerprint scanner is power button>back>bottom screen=on screen

AYE AYE CAPTAIN

1. Buy new phone
2. Switch to 3-bottom navigation
3. Hide display cutout

I don’t know about these workarounds but I remember Win10 has something like “Create for another person” then “I don’t have their info” and it will just let you create a local acocunt. I don’t know about 11 tho

Transmission into submission?

I’m a forever Linux noob currently using Q4OS (Debian-based with TDE/KDE) because it is for a toaster with a small storage and I’m used to Windows.

Yes! Though I learned recently that interactions in, for example, a Misskey post often would not show up if viewed on Mastodon. Might be different with other platforms but I don’t want to bother migrating

• Basically, Mastodon is a microblogging platform which makes it can be alternative to Twitter or Tumblr.
• Lemmy is a social news aggregator which makes it alternative to Reddit or Digg.
• I haven’t used kbin, but it describes itself as both. So if you like to have both the features of microblogging and content aggregators at the same platform, go try it. Kbin can do this because it and the former two uses ActivityPub, aka they are in the Fediverse so you can see and follow content from each other’s platforms, just presented in the format of the platform you’re in (imagine Twitter posts in your Instagram feed).

I started with Mastodon and I’m new here on Lemmy. I think Reddit alternatives are pretty straightforward in the Fediverse. I’m here at Lemmy because it’s the most obvious what I came for with Reddit.
Meanwhile, Twitter alternatives here are a can of worms. There’s Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, Gnusocial, etc. and all of their individual forks, competing with how much “micro” or how much “blogging” each have. Luckily, with Activitypub, content are shared with each other.

I don’t have a list but the one I use RedReader have expressed a possibility. It won’t be surprising if other capable devs would also do it and I’m surprised it’s not as common as Twitter+Mastodon apps in the mid-2010s

Good thing is some Reddit apps announced plans of supporting Lemmy or other Fediverse accounts and I wish they follow through.
