“Currently safe” sounds kind of ominous

The problem is that you can't have spaces or capitals. The error message isn't very useful, it tells you to match the requested format but doesn't tell you the format that's being requested.

I believe it just means the subscriber count on the instance you’re subscribing to hasn’t been updated.

If you check out lemmit.online you will find bot reposts of reddit threads. Useful until this place gets more content.

You could try using a tool like LCS to flesh out your instance a bit by automatically subscribing to popular communities.

Memmy is really good. The TestFlight is full but it’s about to get released on the App Store

wefwef is a web app and it’s also really good. You can install it to your home screen and you’d never know it wasn’t a native app.

Mlem has potential but so far it’s got a bit of work to do to catch up to the above two.

I can’t speak for Kbin but I’ve had only really positive interactions on Lemmy

That's interesting, they're two of my biggest interests. I wonder if this is true for a lot of other people.

About $5-$10 per month. I’m using an ARM64 system which make it even cheaper.

I'm hosting my own because it's fun and it's cheap to do it. I imagine it could get expensive to host bigger instances, and at that point the admins would likely look to donations to keep things going.

Has anyone tried it yet? Two downsides for me:

• there's no desktop app
• there's no Safari desktop extension (I know most people don't care about this)

It's also more expensive than Bitwarden even at €1/mth

Presumably you mean Lemmy was here before the recent reddit implosion
