They are waiting a bit more to see if some fix arrives or not:

we're currently planning for late January/early February to update Lemmy.World to a newer Lemmy release.

A bit more detail:

We'll keep an eye on any updates on that topic to see if it might be worth waiting a little longer for another fix or possibly deploying an additional patch even if it may not be part of an official Lemmy release yet at the time.

The blog states it's still missing a lot of stuff and it's a work in progress. If they have to implement every type of fediverse post like peertube, Pixelfed. Loops, etc it's gonna take some effort.

I assume that's the goal after reading the post but of course we will see.

Why are you specifically collecting negative reviews?

There's people who want to follow other people because you can follow specific associations, independent journalists, etc. If you are like that Mastodon will help with that but if you prefer broader topics no matter the source you have Lemmy. This are two distinct social media which belong to two distinct groups as other mentioned like microblogging and a more standard forum.

I prefer Lemmy because I like to follow topics and I get more involved in the discussions but sometimes I want to check on someone and the best way is to go to a Mastodon like platform.

I mean you don't need to use each social media every day, some will fit more your personality and you will use that more but that doesn't mean you can't open the other one from time to time.

I read the article but I'm worried about the implementation which you won't be able to choose and while you can change server realistically not many people will even know this happened.

I hope the focus is privacy and people and this change dowsn't have people in mind.

I thought the fediverse was a way to give back the power to the users. This doesn't seem great. I don't want mastodon to be famous because it's useful to companies but because it's useful to people.

I don't know the details but hopefully they do something similar to firefox https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/03/22/firefox-87-trims-http-referrers-by-default-to-protect-user-privacy/

I think this happens because everyone does this in youtube and by habit people do it on other platforms.

But at the same time, clickbait works and that's the problem basically. If a clickbait tittle gives you more views and you want to be relevant doing clickbait tittles will help to get to that goal.

Hopefully with time and less algorithms promoting this behavior we will have less clickbait stuff but I don't think it will never disappear, specially when there's a big industry behind.
