Developer of PieFed, a sibling of Lemmy & Kbin.
Ahh yes, the walled garden trap.
I self-host a copy of FreshRSS which does most of those things. No Android app but the PWA works.
Whether you can read the full text in the app or not usually depends on whether the source provides a feed with the full text in it - changing your reader app won’t make much difference.
I subscribe to ~100 feeds but I have no idea what you’re into so dumping the list on you won’t help.
Instead, check out these directories that list RSS feeds by topic:
TikTok quantified the precise amount of viewing it takes for someone to form a habit: 260 videos.
Kentucky authorities note that while it might seem a lot, TikTok videos can be just a few seconds long.
“Thus, in under 35 minutes, an average user is likely to become addicted to the platform,” the state investigators concluded.

Most women could not open their own bank accounts or have credit cards until the 1970’s. That’s just about within the lifetimes of nearly half the people here.
In your best actual solution, how do refugees apply for asylum?
I’ve been learning docker over the last few weeks and it’s been very helpful for writing and debugging docker-compose configs. My server how has 9 different services running on it.
I use it for python development sometimes, maybe once per day. I’ll paste in a chunk of code and describe how I want it altered or fixed and that usually goes pretty well. Or if I need a generic function that I know will have been coded a million times before I’ll just ask ChatGPT for it.
It’s far from “useless” and has made me somewhat more productive. I can’t see it replacing anyone’s job though, more of a supplemental tool that increases output.
Thanks for pointing out the ‘open signups’ on fediverse observer - I’ve fixed that up on the PieFed side just now and it’ll flow through to that database in due course.
While I am technically an admin on feddit.online it was just for some initial debugging and setup support - it’s entirely separate from piefed.social and I don’t have the level of access needed to update it’s code. I don’t know how often Jerry updates his instance but I can tell you piefed.social is absolutely bleeding edge.
Welcome aboard! As well has https://piefed.social there is also https://feddit.online. All other instances I know of are single-user ones.
I’m pretty keen on blocking, in general, so if you have more ideas along these lines they’ll get heard.
As another blocking example, if I post something then not only do I not see replies from people on instances I’ve blocked, but also my post will not be federated to blocked instances in the first place. So they won’t be able to reply to the copy of the post on their instance as it won’t exist.
This only works for local communities - ones hosted on the same instance as the one you’re using as that’s the only time we get to decide where to send posts to. Currently PieFed.social has almost no local communities.
It includes comments as well :)
…and just now I made it hide communities at https://piefed.social/communities too.
It’s not so much the hair itself as it being a symptom of god knows what else.
Scalability. Federation adds overhead that increases as the number of instances increases. It is unclear to me when we will hit a wall but it’s probably not far off.
How will we pay the bills. Some instances get enough donations to pay server costs but none get enough to pay for staff or developers.
Both of those are only really problems if the fediverse grows, which it hasn’t for a while now. But that could change at any moment.

BMW drivers are the worst. It’s science.
The big writing behind him says “TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING”, if anyone is curious. They kept it out of the shot when recording the stage but the writing was visible on the screens of the phones the audience were holding up.

Sounds like they put a tube down your throat all the way to the small intestine and then zap it with electricity which somehow helps.
If only there was a source of young keen workers to fill the gaps.
when used appropriately
…and there’s the rub. Far too often it’s not used appropriately. And people’s ideas of what is appropriate is colored by whether they too were beaten as a child.
My 486. With colour screen and speakers!
I have found ft.com to be very unreliable in the past.
Anytime someone says “it has to be that way because that’s how federation works” they’re wrong. It can be however we want it to be, it’s just a choice.
