I know it’s ignorant, but all I can imagine when using a bidet for the first time is shooting my corn hole with a jet of cold water, not knowing how clean it is back there, and using a towel to dry off only to find watered down shit on the towel.

It’s been like this in Canada for years. I’m not sure making our phones a wifi hotspot was ever free come to think of it.

I’m all about the air hockey table.

I am aware of the scenario. Sync for Lemmy is not just relaunching into a fresh world here. The dev shouldn’t come in with unreasonable pricing. Not when we can use very nice apps such as Connect instead for free, and ad free.

Inflation is awful. Gas as gone up 18%. Food about 20%. But $8 to $26 is a percentage increase of 225%.

I don’t find your example valid, sorry.

What provinces are you two? I wonder if that’s a factor.

It did not cost me $26 CDN. Maybe $8.

No, we’re paying to remove ads. And $26 CDN to remove ads feels really high when I paid $3.69 to remove ads in Boost and $4.49 to remove ads in Relay in 2019.

I like how you bothered to speak of supporting the dev yet mentioned how to stop ads with a VPN based blocker.

I love the concept and idea of them and could see myself utilizing the ones that unfold into a tablet with the S-Pen. But the durability of those screens made me nervous.

You were supposed to ignore, you rebel!

Yes, but whose body?

When did saying Reddit become the equivalent of saying Voldemort?

No, I meant the instance itself. The server. The one who runs lemmy.ca is here in Canada with me.

It’s like when playing a game; You choose servers closet to you for the lowest ping time.

The other reason I neglected to mention was I like to support local. 😎

Agreed. I went with lemmy.ca since I’m Canadian and the instance is in my country.

I also heard Lemmy should perform a little quicker for me too this way.

I used Sync for Reddit. The dev seems close to releasing the beta of Sync for Lemmy.

Connect for Lemmy has been a very nice alternative, especially after the most recent update. I might be torn once Sync is out.

They all appear to be in development, but yes.

How does that “help” their feed? What possible benefit could there be in using a bot to subscribe willy-nilly to every community out there, no matter how shitty it is?

I don’t know… You made it sound like the only way for me to have more communities show up in my All feed on lemmy.ca would be if a volunteer on lemmy.ca, be it a bot or mod, subscribed to all the communities they could find. Hense seeing top posts from All communities. And I only meant for a bot or mod to just subscribe. Not to repost everything.

If that isn’t how it works, sorry. It is why I asked if that would work or not.

They have over a billion monthly users, so I’m not sure they’re dead. Unless you were being sarcastic.

But… You reminded me I’ve been wanting to look into using PixelFed.

So, would it be wise and helpful for a mod or bot per instance to subscribe to as many communities as possible to help the instance’s feed?
