Yes. That or use Google Cache. They almost never show a paywall to the Google bot because that would hurt their page rank.

Not that I know of. Lemmy is part of the fediverse and you can follow/post to Lemmy communities on Mastodon but AFAIK Lemmy doesn't have a system to follow other users. I think Kbin does.

You can follow any Mastodon account as an RSS feed so that would be two in one.

Fedora ofc

This sucks

Me too and I don't think it'll be a threat to Lemmy but on Mastodon, there are a lot of old people who already use Meta platforms themselves.

They will very soon have the largest userbase of any instance. If your instance gets blocked by Meta, your users suddenly have a fraction of the reach because no Meta people can see your posts anymore. That would put a lot of pressure on admins I imagine.

Yes, that's my reason for still having it too. All my friends are on there. And getting them to change platform is almost as hard as getting a woman to like you.

I could be wrong but I think Paper.wf is only intended to write stuff on and you need to promote your blog via other socials. Then, people can follow your blog via things like Lemmy, Mastodon or other Fediverse platforms. Commenting would also be done via other fediverse platforms I imagine.

What fascinates me is that there must be some people that are interested in what dress a celebrity is wearing, cause otherwise they wouldn't still be writing articles about it.

It's just their excuse to make you use their shitty app
