I’m currently using Thunder (it is open source, github.com/hjiangsu/thunder) and it’s pretty nice. I tried Jerboa before but I kept getting way too many request errors (probably because I was using with the lemmy.world instance tho)
You mean Thunder? I think you are having some weird bug, because I’m logged there and have an account on lemmy.world. Jerboa recently was having problems with lemmy.world because of the server’s version, but that has already been sorted it out.
I’m on lemmy.world and could only get into it on my PC for a couple of days, I had to use lemm.ee on my device but I just kept trying and eventually I got in.

They are federated instances. Lemmy is part of the Fediverse, which means distributed servers running the same service (or services) and registering in one instance gives you access to information on the other servers running Lemmy. You can have different communities (‘subreddits’) in different servers but they are all accessible and joinable. This way is not a centralised system.
The Fediverse is not just Lemmy, can be other services like Mastodon, etc.
And the servers all* communicate with each other, so you can see content from one server while logged into another (the URL format would just be slightly different.)
Well, except for the cases where a server admin decides to defederate from another server for one reason or another.
No, federation means we all see the same content regardless of which site we sign up on with the exception of sites that yours may block.
But be wary that lemmy.ml is a tankie instance and the “.ml” stands for Marxism-Leninism. I generally avoid lemmy.ml communities so I don’t get banned for saying “the uyghur genocide is a real thing” or anything.
No worries, .ml is in fact the official domain of the state of Mali. It’s just the interpretation of this single domain owner what he wants to stand “ml” for.
The large instances usually subscribe to most of the others but not every instance is equal. You should go to other instances (you don’t have to join) and check their “all” feeds. You’ll definitely see differences.
There are just certain instances that I wouldn’t want to see, like foreign language ones?
New to the fediverse, so perhaps I’m not thinking about this correctly, but if could blacklist a whole instance, rather than certain magazines/subs/whatever they are called, it would be easier than playing a game of wack-a-mole.
Really hoping my country doesn't follow suit to this. I can get a seat in a nice cinema with big seats that can become a bed with a push of the button for only 10 usd (which includes free popcorn!). Did you perhaps pay using a Credit Card? From my experience every time I buy stuff online like bus tickets which you usually buy at their booth, I have to pay extra for the "convenience".
For credit cards, companies sometimes charge a 2.xx% convenience fee because credit card companies take a 2.xx% cut, leaving them with only ~98% of what you paid them. But yeah, $6 convenience fee for a ~$55 purchase is absurd.
Haha, I got them all in a folder too and would rate them similarly. (Tough, Liftoff is above wefwef for me)
I Update them all regularly and snoop back in to see how they’re progressing. So far it’s been really fun and inspiring to see these madmen developers push out 3 updates a day
If I get to make one recommendation: the thunder app is also good, but only available through GitHub (I guess?), so you’d have to install via an apk. Worth it in my opinion, as it comes close after wefwef in my ranking! :D
