Cool! What do you want to add to it to distinguish itself from the browser version?

Lukoshenko did say that Prigozhin is moving freely in Russia, as opposed to staying in Belarus, as negotiated. Something might be brewing.

Torrents tho

All your server are belong to us 🤖

I'd be fine with using it as my messenger of choice if they open sourced it and allowed us to run our own servers

I use Signal as my main messenger and it works just fine. The only drawback is phone number requirement, but it is simpler for casual users. I'd really want them to add an alternative, more secure and private signup method.

Depends on the use case. For one on one messaging or small group chats, Signal is great! If you need a Slack/Discord replacement, Matrix is your go to.

Plus, I'm sometimes weary of interacting with posts, fearing that it might affect what gets recommended to me. Here, I'm pretty sure there's no such algo!

Definitely. For one, lemmy is something I'd actually want to support, whereas I've always been ambivalent to reddit. But also, the user base on lemmy right now is probably closer to my interests than average.

What lemmy devs need to do is to allow database sharding. Instead of 1 postgres, allow specifying an arbitrary number and shard by community or, maybe, even post ID.

Tbh, .world and .social TLDs are just better 🤷‍♂️
