Yes officer, this is the guy I was talking about.

Yeah, the data is used to create profiles of you to serve more relevant ads, so that advertisers pay them more. Thats more accurate once I think about it a little.

Yep, thats true.

I do use a VPN and browse via incognito/Firefox though, so my chances of being tracked are pretty low.

So he can sell your data to advertisers. Yeah, don’t use anything made by Meta that is connected to the internet.

Why does Zuck want to know the browser histories of people on the internet? 😳

Lets say you want to access [email protected] using your .world account. Do not go to lemmy.ml. Stay on lemmy.world, go to the search bar, filter by communities, and type: [email protected]

Why? You can’t log in to a lemmy.world account from lemmy.ml or any other instance besides .world. You can only access things from other instances using the method described above (although you can subscribe to [email protected] from a .world account and have its content appear on your home feed)

Do keep in mind that Lemmy is still in its early stages, and there will be many new features in the future.

Ironically, I accidentally found the saved part yesterday trying to find something I posted, but that was quite an informative guide! However, apparently something you save via the wefwef save button doesn’t actually save, the button seems just for show. Thought it was a .world bug at first, with the influx of Redditors happening yesterday.

 

On the lemmy.world website, the link is rendered as an image instead of a link. Could this be implemented, or at least something like what Apollo did, the link with a preview below it that you could click to enlarge?

Wefwef has a save button but I don’t know where the saved content goes.

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.

How would that work though?

The beatings will continue until morale improves!

Comment karma is harder to gain than post karma, which is why many Reddit mods (including me) use it as a metric instead of combined karma. That is what I intended to say. Sorry about the confusion.
