The thing is, I just really prefer the tree view of Lemmy/Kbin...

Yeah, but the reasoning in the post is that OpenAI has already profited from the data, and might have a better position to negotiate special access with them than smaller companies, thus reducing competition.

Yes, but the special thing here is that OpenAI, which has a lot of shared stakeholders with Reddit, has already trained their models on its data, so they might have an interest in turning it off for the other companies. Also, they might be in a better position to negotiate with Reddit for special access to the data than smaller companies.

It's a pretty wild theory, but interesting nontheless.

Interesting theory for what might have been another motivation behind the API changes. After all, Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) is a member of the Reddit board. What do you think?

edit: this is not my article by the way

Ugh, internet providers are annoying. Why is stuff like that even legal.

For situations like this I've had success with Shadowsocks, which you can combine with Wireguard, and run over Port 443, here's a guide.

You could also try if it's sufficient to just run vanilla Wireguard over port 443.

Edit: One issue you might run into with Shadowsocks is that combining it with Wireguard is not possible on mobile AFAIK.

Well, I'm not sure how to post to communities, but you can see all posts from a community by just searching for it on mastodon (use @ instead of !). (so to find lemmyworld, go to i.e. chaos.social and then enter @[email protected] in search) There you can also reply to posts, and these replies will show up on Lemmy. In addition to that, you can follow Lemmy users so their comments will show up on your timeline.

Not possible yet. The devs said it may be coming in the far future. kbin supports this, but it's a bit buggy still and is not yet compatible with Lemmy. I'm considering switching once they turn on federation (so that you can join Lemmy communities from there and vice versa).

This is all still a bit early still, unfortunately. Though I'm sure now that so many people are here development will accelerate significantly.

Edit: People on Mastodon can reply to Lemmy conversations, though. And we can see their comments here.

Hah, I edited the same thing into my comment earlier :)

edit: also that "unreviewed content" popup is such a scourge. it seems to pop up completely randomly, just to force you to use the app. glad to be off that platform.

It doesn't seem like the main developer has said anything yet, though, that's why I didn't include it in my list. But hey, it's open source, so I'm sure someone will contribute a pull request if it doesn't happen officially!

"are considering" might have been better wording, as the Sync developer hasn't decided yet. For RedReader it's pretty much guranteed to happen eventually as the app is open source.

Additionally, there is a Reddit to Lemmy API translation layer which could accelerate this.

I'm considering migrating when that happens, as then I have no need for Mastodon, I can just have everything on one site...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, but it's only because it looks cool AFAIK, lemmy.ml is hosted in France

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (7 children)

On iOS there is mlem, on Android there is Jerboa, which is still a bit janky, and the devs of some popular Reddit apps have also said they are willing to port theirs to Lemmy.
