It would be great to mention what photon app is about. Not everyone knows this up front.

I did not get what exactly do you need. Most of Journal apps can notify you and show calendar view. I use diarium and satisfied with its functionality. It is not Foss and is a fremium (all features cost few bucks as a one time payment)

If I check phones released 7 years old … I do not to use them today. Even if updates would be provided.

Well, all what they did and do focuses on showing some formal growth and potential for the IPO. I could imagine they can say that they will also support activepub if experts will decide that this helps with the IPO

you should not try to login to vlemmy directly, you can access and subscribe to communities hosted there from your instance like open cheeseburger.social/c/<community>@vlemmy.com (or whatever domain it has)

I have account on feddit.de, this community for me is: https://feddit.de/c/fediverse@lemmy.world

I’d assume communities about Australian rugby (or what’s it called) would also be there.

Or may be they should be in a “sport instance”, so people who are not interested in sport can block whole sport instance? This makes a lot of sense for people who are not interested in given topic (for example sport, politics, cats, anime) - whatever geography or language is.

I see what where you can from, but I do not think that instance blocking and a strong geographical separation is a good solution. This, btw, will also enforce “US by default” pattern even stronger.

There is no rule that everything about Germany is hosted on feddit.de and everything what is hosted on feddit.de is about Germany. I have a english language GalaxyWatch community located on feddit.de.

TBH, I do not know what is the best way to handle these. As far as I understand, the idea of fediverse is that instance as such must not be important. And there are many instances which have no “self-vision” or it is based on other logic than geography.

:) Ok, not yet automated. But most of these communities look like an RSS feeds from the news sites. May be interesting for people who want to have everything in one place, but I’m more interested in more personal posts.

Hm. Checked few of listed communities - only automated link posts to the related news sites… Not exactly what I would expect from a community.

Moral of the story: do not use social app for private direct messaging - this is the only not assumed to be public data (besides IP) which was “stolen”.

For example: https://github.com/amirzaidi/lemmy?utm_source=pocket_mylist

There are different communities. You can subscribe any of them from any instance, but they are not the same.

Like john@gmail.com and john@outlook.com are different emails, and you can mail any of them using your email provider.

Just a remark: “Whenever lemmy.ml or its devs do something stupid” admins or lemmy.ml ARE the devs of lemmy software. Moreover, they developed lemmy because they where thrown out of reddit for did something “stupid”.
