Talking about Reddit is like thinking about your ex right after the break up. It sucks and oddly satisfying at the same time, and it will pass 😅

To be honest it is to be expected, people will flock to the most active (and consequentially better maintained, at least subjectively) instances.

This might only change once these big instance become saturated and close signups, though even still I expect to see only a handful of Lemmy / KBin instances staying relevant once the dust is settled, especially with the recent precedents like Beehaw defederating from “too open” instances.

I mean, I still use them, mostly because I do not see a strong enough reason to transfer my domains, given how much of a pita that would be.

I’ve heard good things about Gandi, but it’s not my first hand experience so wouldn’t vouch for that. GoDaddy looks fancy but I remember from a while ago they were really into upselling on bloody everything, which is annoying.

So at the end of a day, NameCheap kinda works fine :)

Until their system shits itself and you need to contact support. Then it’s absolutely horrendous.

Still use them though, they are fine.

  1. Stability (yes, Arch is more stable than Ubuntu, at least in my anecdotal experience)
  2. The most recent package versions (no more running ancient stuff with the only way of upgrading is compiling from source, which then may break something your distro relies on)
  3. AUR (also know as “anything you ever need installable in a quick and easy way”)
  4. Learning experience (you learn new things faster if you’re an intermediate Linux enthusiast)

I use https://reeder.app/ with https://feedly.com account. Checks all the boxes between being able to access my RSS feed on any device (as Feedly has a website) and having a great user experience on my phone / laptop.

I’m using mlem and it mostly works fine, though it is pretty early access still and has its quirks

You can also star the repo on GitHub and enable release notifications, I assume the developer will create a release once the app becomes usable.

I mean, you can probably use whatever reminders app you have on the computing device variety you prefer :)

Yeah that would be rad, though I strongly suspect that Christian would be able to just go solo if he wanted it.
