@[email protected] - developer of Apollo (the iOS app that got kill) and Pixel Pals.
@[email protected] and @[email protected] - YouTubers focusing on old/retro tech who have fedi profiles. Word of warning, though: Tech Connections might chew you out if you're being an obnoxious FOSS zealot.
@[email protected] - The MetaBrainz foundation, who you probably know for MusicBrainz.
@[email protected] - Former WinAmp/Shoutcast dev, focusing on WACUP, which is essentially a continuation of pre-NFT WinAmp.
social.bbc - the BBC's official Mastodon/fediverse instance. They've given the fediverse a 6-month trial since around July I believe, and have already given up on Threads apparently.
You only see posts from people you follow, you can just unfollow (or mute/block) whoever you don't like to see on your timeline. If you're scrolling the trending/explore page then maybe you should try switching servers or just stick to the home feed which has toots only from the accounts you follow.
Yes, I got a lot out of reddit, and I miss it sometimes. Lemmy doesn’t seem to have enough of the right people yet to generate enough high quality content to compare to reddit.
Y-combinator’s HN has been sort of filling that void for me though.
Yep, a large portion of the content is exactly that. Mastodon is successfully replicating the Twitter experience.
I'm not a huge fan of the format either.
Hi! Appreciate your works! So, talking about this place. Welcome to another corner of fediverse. #Kbin and #Lemmy are federated forum platforms which work like Reddit but on principles similar to #Mastodon or #Pixelfed. That's why we can talk together here by being on different platforms. Magic of federation!
Matthias Ott (@[email protected])! I personally find his OwnYourWeb blog/newsletter really helpful as a newbie (comparatively) looking to setup my own webpage and blog.
