Yeah. I use KeepassXC on my computers and KeepassDX on my phone. All synced with syncthing and it works great.

I don’t think the lemmy interface tells you the number of active users for in instance

I think what you see on the main page (at the bottom right, just below the instance description/rules) is the instance’s specific stats.

I’m still using my FP3 that is now close to 4 years old. It’s still working great. I just changed the battery once, but that was trivial to do. I didn’t have to change anything else, but most parts are still available in their store.

I never really understood the need for such apps when mail clients such as Thunderbird exist.

The instance works really well :)

Poorly advertised is an understatement, I never heard about this within Reddit xD I always thought that it was a third-party thing.

It is indeed similar to the “Local” feed from Lemmy then. However, it doesn’t have the “I’m part of a common family” feeling that I see in an instance like jlai.lu where we know that all users from the instance see the same content.

But TIL, thank you :)

I agree, I feel like most of the “feed” issues are simply because users are in big instances where the “Local” feed indeed becomes meaningless.

Something that would however be cool would be a way to view the Local feed from another instance, without having to actually go to the other instance.

To me, the Local feed is one of the biggest strengths of Lemmy. It allows having in the same platform a community/instance based feed (for example, Local in jlai.lu allows you to find most of the French activity in Lemmy), and at the same time, I can use “Subscribed” and/or “All” feeds to get a broader view of the Fediverse.

Without the “Local” view, Lemmy would just feel like another Reddit clone to me, where French communities would just be flooded by English-speaking communities. On Reddit, the French community actually had to create a subreddit dedicated to listing all French subreddits, just because the discoverability of non-English-speaking subreddits is just awful by default on Reddit.

And at the same time, I don’t see the need for “curation algorithms”. The “Subscribed” feed already fills this use case for me.

You can force a video to appear in Lemmy by copying the original peertube URL of the video into lemmy’s search. It will take 2-3 seconds to import it and show up in the search results.

jlai.lu because it allows to simply use the “Local” feed to browse most French related communities, while still being able to browse the rest of the Threadiverse using the “Subscribed” or “All” feeds.

To me, that’s a huge improvement to Reddit, where it allows language-based and topic-based communities to have dedicated places which are easier to explore.

Yes it exists: !confidently_incorrect@lemmy.world
