hell yeah (I'm reading this sleep deprived on 6ish h of sleep and I won't be able to sleep for another 3h unless I wanna risk missing my train and I would love a bed rn)

This looks pretty promising, the only thing I miss from Barinsta is the customizeable and chronological view of the feed/a feed that only shows me the accounts I follow, but I guess I can live with that, thank you!

Es ist kein Slang sondern Dialekt. Ein plattdeutscher Dialekt um genau zu sein, ich kann dir allerdings nicht sagen welcher.

Hope it helps, if you don't understand some words in my answer feel free to ask, I can also add an English translation but I thought you'd probably like to try and understand an answer in German.

Bold of you to assume "we" have electronic patient records here in Germany, when they just introduced the e-doctors certificate and e-prescriptions a few months ago and it's already not working as intended.

Nah, not if the UK calls it the Leiden Invasion Act /s

Ich hatte halt vermutet, dass der Davidstern hier einfach als Symbol zur Markierung verwendet wird, Nazis sind ja jetzt nicht grade dafür bekannt den Davidstern als religiöses Symbol mit Respekt zu behandeln...

Andererseits hast du schon Recht, grade im Hintergrund vor dem Nahostkonflikt kann das schon als falsche Fährte gedacht worden sein, wobei ich nicht glaube, dass irgendeine muslimische Person in Deutschland ernsthaft glauben würde, dass eine jüdische Person in Deutschland ihre Friedhöfe mit Hakenkreuzen beschmiert und dann Davidsterne als eine Art tag hinterlässt. Das ist für mich dann doch sehr weit her geholt.

Same here, these subs just aren't the reason why I used to be on reddit or why I'm on lemmy now. I used to be low profile on reddit (and actually liked when people thought I was the allo-cis-het man they assumed me to be because it made my posts look so funny at times), but I've found lemmy to be less misogynistic so far and I've seen a fair amount of users with pronouns and fairly filled out profiles so I thought I'd give mine a try too. So far nobody has ever used them, but we'll see.

This isn't meant to bash OP's cause, I'm sure someone finds these communities useful, it's just not for me.

What the hell? I didn't know dubioza kolektiv was popular enough to be sampled now, I was sure to find this video behind your link...

Fully agree.
I'm one of those people who migrated to tumblr after the Reddit exodus (tbh I did have tumblr beforehand, but my usage increased a lot when the API bullshit happened). After using it for around 10 months I've come to the conclusion while yes, it is good for fandom related content, memes and some other things it's simply no replacement for reddit (it's actually more of a replacement for my fandom instagram to me). Yeah you can follow hashtags or topics, but tumblr is too niche of a platform and a lot of the topics I care about the average tumblr user doesn't even think of, or at least not to the extent I do.
If you want a reddit replacement Lemmy is simply your best option. If you want a Twitter replacement then yeah, go ahead and use Mastodon.

Thank you Mr. Torvalds.

Slightly off topic, but why is there no AskEurope instance (is that the right word?) on lemmy yet? Or am I just too incompetent to find it?
