The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.
I’m transitioning to lemmy but it’s not easy. I can login to my account with an app, but not with any of my desktop browsers. Following users on other instances is unintuitive. Plus there are tons of fake “official” accounts I can’t filter away.
I’m on .world and can log in on a browser, I’m also logged in with sync, jerboa, connect and liftoff.
Once you’re logged in, blocking users/communities/instances is pretty easy.
Lemmy is finally allowing me to login and comment!
Why would you use a link aggregator to follow individual users? That’s literally what Mastodon is for, and you should be able to use your Lemmy creds to access it, meaning you have access to it.
