Man! This is the first I head about the lead dev of Mlem leaving. I hope the project doesn’t get abandoned.

I just hope we don’t end up calling them “sublemmys” and whatnot, like what I keep seeing suggested. Let’s just make a clean break with reddit and start something new and better.
Thank you @ernest! Please consider setting up a Patreon, or similar, account so I can donate monthly. I’ve bought you a few coffees but I’d like it to be automatic.
The tankie thing keeps pushing me away from lemmy, but lemmy seems to be the only software getting clients at the moment. So I’m torn. I want an iOS client badly, but I don’t want to support tankies.
I suppose I shouldn’t sell out for a nice app though.
That’s exactly what they’ll say.
There are a lot of subs on that site that have apparently migrated but there are zero posts here.
Ham radio. It’s a lot of fun and has something for everyone. I like the outdoors, so I took my portable gear to a park and operated Parks on the Air today. There are all kinds of digital modes for people who love computers, there’s morse code, there’s using kites to hoist your antenna, hot air balloons, talking with the space station, etc. All kinds of stuff. If you’re the least bit nerdy, it likely has something for you.
Thank you so much for this well written text!

That’s why I nuked all my posts and edited every one of my comments to point to kbin / lemmy before deleting my account. They may revert my changes, but I at least wanted to try to prevent them from benefiting from me in any way.
So I’ve gone to https://kbin.social/d/lemmynsfw.com, which pulled up that instance, but how do I then block that instance?
This isn’t happening though. I am subscribed to a few communities from lemmy.ml that definitely have posts, and there are other subscribers from kbin, but no posts show when viewing from kbin. It has been like that for a couple days. Check these out, for example:
Sweet! I’m going to check it out. Thanks
Do you mean mlem? That’s the TestFlight app I have.
Wasn’t he a mod of /r/jailbait?
I mean physical mail, lol. You go out to your mailbox and have a handful of crap that you have to throw away.
Yes, at least in the US, we get a ton of ads via mail (post). It’s a huge pain. I use iOS and I don’t think there are any Instagram alternative apps.
It has become that way in the US.
My pihole helps quite a bit, but some still sneak in. I had to use a VPN to get a cheap rate for Youtube premium which helps a ton. Instagram ads and mail ads are unavoidable still.
That was what persuaded me to delete as well. I was supporting the mods in /r/gis and mentioned that they should strike longer, and some user called me “fucking stupid,” and mentioned some bs about how the subreddit is important because people find answers there via google.
So I edited every single one of my 11 years of comments to some text pointing people to Lemmy, and nuked my account. Haven’t missed it since.
I sincerely hope that toxicity doesn’t find its way here.
