Caching is creating a local copy which they host. It might be legal grey area, but IMO it’s a real threat.

This has absolutely nothing to do with censorship.

Any recommendation? I don’t want to accidentally sign up on some right wing instance etc.

One link in one discussion that slips through is basically enough.

Trivia: I just learned two weeks ago that "firm"ware is in between "hard"ware and "soft"ware. It has nothing to do with a firm (a company).

Overall, maybe. But in my niche subs not.

Sadly, no. Just not enough content on Lemmy, yet.

As somebody who just uses the mobile site on Firefox, I didn’t really feel affected by the API changes (besides the fact that Reddit once again showed their ugly face). All the subs I care about feel unchanged.

Yes. I see a lot of comments on Reddit like “I tried Lemmy, but you have to sign up for every instance”, because it’s so opaque how you can subscribe to different instances. Personally, I copy the “handle”, add it to my URL manually, then subscribe. But this is nothing any mainstream user would do.

I like it! Main issue for me is that there is not enough content on my hobbies, and “all” content is mostly filled with reddit-this and lemmy-that (or now threads) stuff, which is annoying because I don’t want to talk more about the platform than actually using it. But I hope this will change with some time.

I use only the browser, UX and UI is pretty straight forward, but subscribing to communities of other instances is really weird. I need to copy the “handle” (i.e. [email protected]), and add it manually to my instance domain (i.e. lemmy.world/c/[email protected]), and then I subscribe to it. I don’t know if there are other ways (besides finding new communities via “all”).

I’m not into the technicals of lemmy or the fediverse, but I guess this is not easily solvable, as an instance doesn’t know that I am the user of another instance.

Arts (Printmaking, Graffiti, sculpture, calligraphy, typography, design), and all the SFW porn subs.

Also, I’m really amazed that https://lemmy.world/c/sourdough is already quite active.
