    Man, I keep forgetting about this. I thought we were talking about the band.

    I use Megalodon as my Mastodon client and Sync as my Lemmy client right now. Does anybody know of any clients which work for both Lemmy and Mastodon at the same time on Android?

    Alternatively, any good Kbin clients? 😊

    The amount of mental gymnastics to pretend that federated and central content models are somehow different content is insane.

    The people that used reddit and twitter before lemmy and mastodon is like 1:1.

    The change is in the freedom not in the users. There’s less content even on our platforms. We need to find ways to make Lemmy and mastodon a better product experience than closed source central software to continue to see new faces. Right now Lemmy esp feels like it’s mostly just nerds who understand the tech.

    Some ideas I have are more like news bots and things that are harder to do with closed APIs.

      Or we can just enjoy mastodon and Lemmy for what it is worth. You don’t want it to become mainstream, you just want things to be more federated in general.

      How did email and RSS (podcasts) become so derederated but nothing else?

        Yeah I can see an element of that being true. I wouldn’t mind just enjoying it for what it’s worth.

        I think though that the mainstream being able to speak what they think without a reddit bot saying “pictures are not allowed on /pics because it’s not a hyperlink and 84 characters long is not allowed” has value.

        In other words just unrestricted free speech for the more reasonable part (no threats). But on the other end once it’s picked up by mainstream it probably is ruined by pumping of ads somehow.
