Thanks for your transparency about this and detailed explanation of the reasons

I’m reading Black House, by Stephen King and Peter Straub. About half in the novel, I had some difficulties to be taken with it, but I start being hooked up, we will see… My opinion so far is that it’s not at the level of it’s prequel (The talisman, by Stephen King and Peter Straub) that I read just before and was very gripping.

If this reddit change did not occurred, I probably never had tried Lemmy (even if I’m in OSS world for 20+ years now). First thought is that I don’t think communities going black or mods leaving reddit will do anything to reddit, it’s so big and alternative are somehow a niche for geek that they will not loose most of their user base. For mods they’ll find out some way … On the other hand, I don’t care, I’m happy here on the fediverse, I participated more discussion here in 1 month than in years on reddit. I had bad experience on my first posts on reddit (probably not interesting enough for some and then downvoted a lot), and I think that I just always thought if my post will be appreciated or not and so and finally just didn’t post. I don’t have this feeling here.

Thanks very much for the language setting very appreciated 👍

Well I did a sort of poc I recompiled jerboa (in debug mode so I can keep official installed) after removing app/src/main/res/values-fr directory and I have this jerboa in English which I prefer, additionally there are layout issues with french version because the words do not correctly fit the allocated space on the screen, it looks far better in English. So if it’s possible to give a setting to change language for us poor old android users…

+1 Please give us the choice of the language in app, my phone won’t be updated to android 13 and I want to let it in french but I like IT related stuff to be in English… Otherwise I may perhaps fork and rebuild jerboa stripping out the translation files…

Not as good as the floppotron (https://youtube.com/@PaweZadrozniak), imho, but still very nice to look at, thanks for the link 🙂

I suppose what is called migration refer to re-subscribing to the same communities

Also, in this specific case it’s perhaps not illegal per say, but what happen if you federate with an instance that host illegal stuff ? Due to the way fediverse works, the illegal content may be replicated on the server you own, so you’re starting to host illegal stuff on your server. I’m not a lawyer but I think you can have problems with the law for this kind of stuff. Probably you will need to prove that you’ve done everything you could to prevent this type of content.
