Thanks! I’m not sure I’ll be using many of Vivaldi’s features but it’s nice to know they’re a good option. I’ll stick with Brave for now. Too many features scare me.

Oof… then it might not be the browser. Maybe an extension?

Hope it works!

Have you tried a chromium browser? I haven’t tried browsing lemmy on FF yet, but I never had that issue on chromium (Brave).

Not yet, at least. I’ve seen a few posts about it and I agree it’s an important feature. I hope the devs are seriously considering to add it.

Honestly, Jerboa in alpha is already better than the official reddit app for me. It’s no TPA reddit app, but the number of contributors (in github) has risen by a lot so I’m expecting/hoping development will pick up and it’ll get better fast.

I appreciate the community the most in here. They’ve been very welcoming and minimal, if any, toxicity.

Like someone has said, we’re in a privacy-oriented sub so it’s natural (expected even) to expect the hate. Edge/MS really is bad in terms of privacy. So I get the hate.

With that said, privacy concerns aside, I have to agree that its reputation is worse than it really is. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it, but my standard was IE so it wasn’t really saying much lol. It’s getting bad with unnecessary features, though.

As for being better than FF… well, of course in terms of privacy FF is still better imho. However, I rely on chromium-based browsers for work. Some internal sites I use for work simply don’t play well with FF. I do have Brave, but I sometimes use Edge as well.

Is there a good chromium browser anyone can recommend? Is Brave the best privacy-wise? Vivaldi?

Same. It’s not about the app anymore. It’s about reddit itself.

I didn’t see those. My bad!

Privacy is non-existent on reddit anyway, just because lemmy is imperfect there doesn’t mean it’s any worse than reddit, and this is a public forum, there’s no privacy anyway.

Completely agree. Just look at reddit’s TOS. They own your data. Unfortunately, it still doesn’t stop people from raising it as if reddit is a bastion of privacy and security.

I’ve also seen concerns about privacy and politics. It’d be great if you addressed that, too. I’d love to send you an upvote but I deleted all my accounts. 😅

That’s true. I should stop getting triggered by those. But still, more ammo would be nice. At the very least other people would see the evidence and won’t listen to them.

I have been waiting for this.

Hi. I’m commenting here because I’m not sure this deserves its own post.

Lately on reddit, lemmy and kbin have been mentioned more as reddit alternatives. While that may be a good thing (free advertising is good, at least), I’ve seen more than a few people say (unevoqually, imho) that A) lemmy/kbin is bad for privacy and B) they collect data. I’ve read kbin’s privacy policy as well as the devs’ responses on github, but is there any other links I can point them to?

It’s incredibly frustrating, tbh. It feels like they’re out to discredit lemmy and kbin. I’ve answered a few myself, but there’s much more out there. They don’t even give a reason. They usually just say “lemmy is terrible for privacy” or “lemmy collects your data.” No links, no whatever.

Edit: my last reddit account is going to seem like a lenny marketer if this doesn’t stop lol.

Haven’t stopped using reddit, tbh. But my usage has noticeably dropped - haven’t even commented on a single thing but one after installing Jerboa. Having an alternative really does help. I’m confident I can completely stop redditing on mobile by the end of the month as long as this community stays active.

I’m still amazed at how many people I know still think cars are better before because they were “harder to break.” Yeah, you can sit on the hood of an old car and it won’t do anything to it, but try crashing at 80km/h and you’re gonna wish that unbreakable object broke. Anything higher and you might not have a chance to wish for anything. Lol.

Quite niche, but communities for specific games (Path of Exile, Last Epoch, Grim Dawn) as well as audiophile subs (audiophile, budget audiophile).

As a reddit immigrant, I have to say lemmy is much more complicated than reddit. That’s not necessarily bad, but the learning curve is steeper.

Maybe lemmy.one doesn’t yet know of all of the popular communities? You can always look for communities on feddit.de or lemmy.ml and copy their address into the search bar on lemmy.one.

This is a great example. I honestly didn’t know about this. May I ask which instance(?) would be good to join while I look for communities I’m interested in? I signed up with lemmy.ml initially but I saw they were having trouble with the influx of new users so I decided to move to lemmy.one without knowing this. Thanks!
