(That was hysterical…)

I knew someone would jump on that one… 😏

I got that error when I tried to login to lemmy.world. Worked fine with lemm.ee.

.world is having issues at the moment.

I’ve already seen some placeholders in my feed. Not sure yet if the ads aren’t ready yet, or if my myriad adblockers are doing their jobs.

Very exciting.

Couldn’t log into .world, but could at lemm.ee. Having a nice browse as we speak!

Ooof. I guess I’m just too old school: I hate the idea of “renting” software.

Kind of off-topic, but second your dislike of iOS. I got an iPad at some point but after about an hour decided I was returning it: That device was so “locked-down”, I couldn’t stand it.

I really love my iMac tho (haven’t booted into Windows in months). 🤷‍♂️

The dev must read this thread. I just got a Kiwi update via FFUpdater app. 😎

I find Kiwi Browser essential. It’s one of the only ones that you can install chrome extensions onto.

Woah, this sounds very handy! Thanks for the post… 👍

I love the smell of updates in the morning.

Things are much peppier over here than at the .world! 👍

I laughed at your “…she doesn’t want to install another app…”. I have a close friend that told me the same thing.

I was able to convince my sister to install Signal so that we could more securely send financial receipts back and forth, etc.

More than one of you in this thread have mentioned Matrix. I realized I signed up for it during the Great Migration about 3 weeks ago, but I haven’t spent any time there yet. How is it the same/different/better than whatever else? Curious. (I suppose Google might be my friend in this situation.)

Is she looking for an “official” app–not realizing there isn’t such a thing? That they all have different names and are so new that they all have different levels of functionality?

And that Lemmy.world is so slammed with new users that most of the apps don’t seem to be working properly? ☺️
