I can sympathize with not having the money to pay for a search engine when others are free. Aside from the great results, I like the idea of paying for a search engine.

“If you aren’t paying for the product, you are the product being sold” is true, and I don’t want to use a search engine that is trying to sell me to advertisers. I want the company’s goals to be aligned with mine as a user. I want them to worry about making me happy as a user, not finding ways to show me ads.

Kagi has a search lens for Fediverse forums like Lemmy. More content in Lemmy will make that even better

I put the noisy stuff in lists that don’t show up in my home feed. That way I can catch up on home, or open a topical feed when I’m looking to scroll more.

No more dependency hell from one package needing libsomething.so 5.3.1 and another service absolutely can only run with libsomething.so 4.2.0

That and knowing that when i remove a container, its not leaving a bunch of cruft behind

The routers run IOS right? So does my phone so it should be pretty easy /s

My instance is great, although I wish we would switch to glitch-soc so we could have instance-only visibility on posts. I don’t really see much inter-instance drama and I generally don’t get harassed by people who think I need to post a certain way (maybe because I’ve been on Masto since 2018 and they have been on less than a year?)

But those are still legitimate problems for a lot of people.

• No HOA complaining that you didn’t CW a picture with eye contact or food or alcohol or matter
• More witty people from X
• No drama about who is defederating with who
