It’s got a very dissatisfied userbase

I really don’t understand where you’re getting this from. Because, at least my Instagram, is thriving. Honestly, I see so much wonderful art on it every day, it’s ridiculous. I also follow many news outlets, magazines on it. The platform has never been better. Also, it has the advantage of having my entire professional and social circles on it. Everyone I know is using it daily, interact with each other.

Also, you can hide that barrage of reels very easily. Just tap […] on a suggested reel, then tap “Disable suggestions for a month”. It does exactly what it says.

It 100% is. They talk to someone on @mastodon.social in the screenshots. :)

LOL.

Agreed.

It will be a part of the fediverse! But, yeah, still a Meta product…

Yes! This can be glorious!

Yup. It has the potential to be a very useful tool. Currently, I use Stories to post some text-based thoughts, which is ridiculous, haha.

I’m a photographer and I have a relatively large following on Instagram; all my professional and social contacts are on there. So, that’s why it’s personally appealing to me. The Fediverse has (so far) been a bit of a lonely experience for me (but I still like it a lot).

Jack Dorsey’s clone/competitor is dead on arrival for me. Dorsey endorsed an anti-vaccination conspiracy theorist for the American presidential election. So… Yeah, not going to touch that one.

MetaFilter is the best of the best, I adore that website.

Yep. You’ll have to visit the link to see the discussion unfortunately. But the point of this approach is* to only get posts without having to visit reddit.

No ads, no profits. :)

Yeah, I can see that happening.

Nail -> coffin.

This is very odd. Sorry it didn’t help!

Can you try https://www.reddit.com/r/DayOneApp.rss? I think it’s because of the capitalisation.

Oh? Which reader did you try it* with? Because you should be able to view the link (https://www.reddit.com/r/museum.rss), even in your browser.

You are welcome! RSS is a wonderful thing. It was all we had before the rise of centralised web. 🫠

Yes and no. Your RSS reader downloads it for you, you just view it. reddit no longer gets your “visit”. You no longer see ads, either.
