Just wanted to comment that your cover image is great and on point :)

When posting one image, sure.
But (at least on kbin currently) there’s no way to upload a gallery or several pictures to put into the body of a thread.

I’m pretty sure it’s currently baked into the protocol. But instances themselves could probably add crawlers to fetch a few recent posts. You might want to ask @kbinMeta about that.

As far as I understand, to see the posts you need at least someone from your instance to subscribe to a given community, and only after that you’ll see new posts going forward (fediverse pushes content to other instances instead of pulling all the content on request). And you won’t see any pre-subscription posts anyway, since it’s apparently a lot like actual irl magazine subscriptions — you only get the new stuff once you subscribe.

So, subscribe and wait for a day or two, and you should see new posts appear in your feed.

I think a lot of those are just people who want to be able to talk to their non-techy friends within the fediverse, but who also either haven’t yet realized the full scale of Threads’ privacy overreach, or they don’t give a shit/think it’s irrelevant since they don’t plan to use threads themselves.

Someone who doesn’t read it for starters

I was talking about iOS, the image in the post is compiled from AppStore screenshots. Here’s a relevant page on Apple’s website.

As for Android, I’m not really sure. Probably by installing DuckDuckGo? It runs a local firewall-type thing that blocks known trackers.

You can block some things (like location data), but a lot of it is only moderated using an “Ask app not to track” button, which is more lenient.

That’s pretty much what you’re doing when you sign up, only remotely.

Yeah. Seems like Apple doesn’t have enough categories for all the shit they collect.

A lot of it duplicates across categories, but I left everything in so that you can assess each category for yourself.

Oh hi fellow real users. Just chiming in to say fuck OP, all my homies hate OP

Yeah, I’ve been getting a lot pf different error messages, everything from missing tokens to random timeouts. Lemmy just isn’t ready for such an influx yet, we’ll have to give it time.
