yeahhhh you're right, i get what you mean
3.0's about blockchain; the problem you're describing is like, late-stage 2.0. not to defend the app fetish or advocate for 3.0 by any means, lord no
interesting, thank you thank you for the tip! ActivityPub (the rails all these apps run on) is cool as hell; i just checked and yes I can follow my account right here from my Mastodon. i'm from old Reddit though so the idea of following an account on a Reddit-like is still icky and new but i'll probably get used to it here in this new setting x3
in the case of Mastodon at least, the Local tab is a major way to discover new people to follow, or just peek at what's going on. i don't think my complaint will hold as much for Lemmy, as it's about following Communities, not People, and finding the equivalent of a subreddit is worth finding dozens of people.
oh bro this UI ain't bad. first comment on lemmy; i'm using Jerboa on android and this is all making me very happy after one day of no 196.
anybody a member of multiple instances? i'm a Mastodon user and only really use one acct there, but maybe this is different (despite being literally the same protocol). the one drawback of the one-account model there is that you only really have easy access to that one server's "local" tab, and not the others, giving undue weight to your choice of instance, unless you're using desktop and an extension like FediAct that lets you go to the URL of other instances' "local" feeds and interact and have the interaction link to your account seamlessly.

idk man a lot of people enjoy the company of demographics they aren't. i feel more at ease with people older than me, and a lot of women prefer the company of men and vice versa. i think you for sure have a place with the lgbt crowd and you don't have to pick apart why that is to justify it
