  • It basically works like that on Mastodon, but on Lemmy, etc. you will see most of the content of all federated instances.

    It’s common for new users to overthink the choice of instance - it doesn’t make a huge difference for most users and you can always switch if you find a better fit in the future.

    You can pick one that is local to your country/region, or if you have a special interest like art or environmental activism, you may be able to find one that specializes in that. Otherwise choose any instance that is stable.



  • Lemmy has been a big part of it.

    I’ve never been fond of paying big tech to spy on me. It has been getting gradually more expensive and more intrusive for years. Around the time I reached a breaking point, folks here helped me realize that digital sovereignty is possible.

    One day I was just like, “Why does Google need to know when my lightswich is on?” And that was the start of it.

    My top customizable FOSS launchers:

    Kvaesisto
    Search-based with native-themed widgets and app drawer. Lots of integrations, reliable, and my personal daily driver.

    Lawnchair
    Drop-in replacement for Pixel launcher with some friendly features. Very active development.

    Ion Launcher
    Automatic app folders by category and decent customization options.

    Einstein Launcher
    Highly customizable and built from scratch. It’s under 3MB and already pretty capable, although it’s a young project and still in alpha













  • “From the river to the sea” apparently comes from the original slogan من المية للمية فلسطين عربية, which literally means “from the water [of the river] to the water [of the sea), Palestine will be Arab.” It’s been used in a number of different contexts, from Western groups that advocate for a single secular democratic state for Jews and Arabs, to groups advocating for Jewish elimination from the region.



  • You obviously understand the concept, given your very specific constraints. OP noted that the particular photo they took would need to be cropped or edited to protect their location.

    This photo shows like 1% of a building, no cars, road, structures, or horizon.

    Applying the rule “no outdoor photos of your location” covers all of these possibilities, making it a pretty good rule of thumb. Even if you are cautious, you could accidentally post some rare tree or background detail that gives up your location.

    So we shouldn’t shame anyone for not posting photos they consider unsafe.
