Sync has been available for well over 2 months, I don’t think that many former users will still follow. Sure, each new app will bring a fraction of its former users, but that’s not sustainable.

Huh, that might get me to try mastodon again. The browser experience used to be crap.

Yeah I was also a bit confused about the “mad respect” for what I’d call standard driving :-D

Not OP, but yes manual permits to drive both types, automatic doesn’t allow driving manuals. I believe that’s an EU regulation.

German, late 30s. Automatic cars are rather uncommon in Germany, we sure like our manuals. Not being able to push my car into high RPMs when needed to overtake or accelerate quickly takes the fun out of driving. I’d never switch to automatic as long as I still have both arms and legs. And yes I know kickdowns are a thing, but it really doesn’t compare.

Yes, you can browse any instance and then from there also all local communities.

https://imgur.com/a/5J6gDGg I selected one at random I didn’t know exist from a long list (no idea how sorting works though) and then displayed a list of communities in the second screenshot. You can see on the text in the background that it shows the instance as “a remote instance”, i.e. not the one where you are registered.

The “multireddit” feature has been on the request list on github for quite a while, but yeah the “browse as local” feature is live and mostly working on the internal test release. Some small things are being ironed out and then it should be released to the public soon, I’d say it’s 99% there.

If there is a god, it takes a special sadist to allow the amount of torment present on earth.

So I prefer to believe there’s no higher spirit ravelling in the suffering of all creatures rather than there being a malevolent creator watching with glee as we die a slow, painful death.

Nothing. She has a login on my system and can access pretty much anything already, minus emails and dropbox I believe. But there’s nothing worth hiding either.
