A year ago today I made my Lemmy account

I now have a Mastodon, a Pixelfed, a bookwyrm, and a Peertube account. I switched off of most google services to privacy respecting ones. A week ago I bought a laptop to run Linux mint on.

And I couldn’t be happier here’s to another year of the Fediverse!

    PeerTube on the idea is great but you have to be honest, YouTube is better. So this is what I did in this specific case to fight the bad Google: I registered on a Piped instance to continue watching videos without ads, without trackers, without sponsored passages, etc… and if you have an Apple device there is an app for that, it’s called Yattee.

    I have a Mastodon account but honestly like PeerTube I like it on paper but there is only politics, so if you have accounts to recommend me I’m taking.

    Otherwise Linux Mint is really special I approve of your choice.

      In mastodon it’s not about following accounts but following hashtags instead. So find hashtags that describe your hobbies and your feed will start to become interesting to you.

        It’s so hard to find populated hashtags though. I wish there was more discourse on mastodon but it’s just people shouting into the void.

          The key is to tag all your posts, so other people can find them. You get followers here and there, but not too often. I never post of Lemmy, but post a ton of stuff on Mastodon. TBH, I mostly doom scroll RSS these days.

          Basically Inoreader -> InstaPaper -> Mastodon

            Frickin love RSS feed. I’ve actually gotten bad about populating it with my favorite YouTubers and the git projects I’ve been following lately. Plus archlinux news updates of course.

            I use feeder though, it does the job but it doesn’t pull the websites directly.

              Yeah, I love Inoreader cause it’s got a paywall jumper built in, even on the free plan. I’ve been wanting to get a self hosted one, but they are all a PITA to setup or don’t have a good multi device sync.
