I use Google Play Music and it’s been pretty good. Haven’t noticed any shenanigans, no ads or anything of the sort.

Ah right, but how is it a privacy issue?

Genuine question, can you explain why this is an issue? You’ve got to type something in either way…

If junior doctors are paid so badly wouldn’t a better response to this be to quit and do something else or move to a different country? You help yourself and eventually the NHS has to realise that only paying a gazillion bureaucrats whilst having too few and too badly paid doctors isn’t going to work out. To be fair this is already happening, many doctors have left and we have 22 month waiting times… Time is approaching where NHS, the huge bureaucratic behemoth, is dismantled and replaced with something better.

We really don’t have disdain for the Americans. Most Americans I’ve met have been great.

Oh wow. After reading the announcement I’m glad they got defederated.

Never heard of Hexbear (kind of new around here). Why were they defederated? I’m actually on Lemmy World.

Cool, thanks for the explanation. TIL

I see yeah indeed that works! Although it looks like it only shows a subset of all votes.

Yeah agree I am not sure that’s a feature I’d want either tbh if it wasn’t already there. But seems like it is in some form.

Ahhh right so the information is there publicly available just not in the existing clients. Interesting.

I did this. I didn’t initially realize there is such a thing as instances (I thought I was joining Lemmy). Came from Reddit so didn’t expect this. Now I only use my Lemmy.world account, the other one is doing nothing (should probably get around deleting it at some point).

Outright lying about the numbers is very different from just not allowing downvotes though.

Thanks for the tip

Somebody should make an app that uses the anonymous Reddit JSON API to copy the popular Reddit posts and post them over here.

Tried sync and seems pretty good so far. In the absence of RIF.

That’s really interesting. How do we know this?

Joined yesterday coming here from Reddit. My favourite app no longer works (Reddit is fun) and I just can’t get myself to use the official app. Lemmy seems pretty cool so far, only missing a few subs that were not super large on Reddit but are not really viable here due to a small number of users. Hopefully that will change if the number of users keeps growing so fast.

Lemmy is Fun? 👍

Now we just need Reddit is Fun for Lemmy.
