Good thing there’s so many options for people to find what they’re looking for.

Thunder is my personal recommendation with Raccoon being my next choice.

If you’re interested that is. Otherwise just pretend I was never here.

Probably upset about “Happy Holidays” or something.

Not that one thing alone, obviously. But it’s a big part of it.

We can call it a hypothesis if that helps.

Then you’re the target audience for Bluesky and similar. Mastodon and other fediverse sites don’t have that and that’s what most of the people here prefer.

I forgot about Lemmy for a few days just because it’s not so addictive and I like that. It’s actually refreshing when you realise you’ve been gone for a few days without missing it.

It’s Twitter 2.0. It’s what the average person wants. It’s popular because it has algorithms and all the other addictive things from corporate social media.

Mastodon and others don’t have these things and are harder to get started with. Picking a server is weird and scary. After that, getting your home feed started is difficult if you don’t know to just follow some hashtags.

Maybe they picked it up again. Or we’re talking about different Raccoons. Either way, good to have a fallback and Thunder has been great.

The dev gave up on it due to too many entitled demands from users or something from what I remember.

ETA: Try Thunder as well. Raccoon was my backup for it back then.

Thunder and Voyager are two very popular options both available for Android and iOS. I use Thunder myself, with Voyager as my backup in case anything ever happens to Thunder the way it did with Liftoff and Raccoon.

Here’s hoping this becomes a proper english version with the same dedication as the original. Think a lot of people could appreciate something like this.

Use All to get started. Check it out now and then for some variety and maybe to find new communities. But absolutely curate your own Subscribed timeline.

Yes, that would seem like an ISP, DNS, or some other block. Try changing the DNS on your devices to p0.freedns.controld.com or something similar and test again.

Edit: Changed to a DNS server with no ad or other blocking.

Works just fine.

Seems like it’s just you.

Tested with two different services and it’s up. I also accessed the site and it’s working fine.

Yeah, I made an Mbin account but haven’t used it because I haven’t found a way to import my communities and follows from Lemmy and Mastodon. Would love to try the combined approach but I have too much for a manual transfer.

In a sense, yes. But many people disagree specifically with what and why .world is banning.

Sharkey is a fork of Misskey if I remember right. It’s on the microblogging side with Mastodon, rather than a Reddit-like thing like Lemmy.

Might depend on how your instance is set up.

I know Voyager does.

Apparently the official app was released out of beta recently if I’m not mistaken.
