Omg they will find my @cocaine.ninja meme address.

I use cock.li for logging in unsecure places, e.g. to send email notifications from servers, printers. I already had one taken over. Their uptime isn't world class either. It never sounded some trustable host, why would anyone choose it as a main email provider.

It's just the regular monthly anti firefox FUD.

I had to doublecheck if it's [email protected] or actual news. I guess next time Arvid Lindblad will say this sentence

I've heard people saying they don't switch to Firefox from Chrome because they use Gmail and other google services. I've seen people who had multiple email apps on their phones for different email addresses, and they were shocked when I told them they could use a single one.

We live in a very tech related bubble here on lemmy, a lot of people just wants to get the job done, and don't care about how things work under the hood.

Sailfish has Aliendalvik for android app support, it's proprietary. I've read good things about it: https://blogs.gnome.org/jdressler/2023/12/20/a-dive-into-jolla-appsupport/

I know this, but a lot of people don't understand this difference. The point was comparing lemmy to email doesn't necessarily help regular folks, who has no idea how email work.

I don't like the email analogy, because people don't think about email like that, they are not really familiar with how email works. I like to summarize that differently: they only have to register on one instance and they can see every post in every other instances from that account, that's all. I read from people who thought they have to register on each instances separately, or they can login on a different instance with the same credentials. (Like you can login in the outlook app with your gmail and yahoo account, see the email analogy doesn't even true)

Don't recommend lemmy.ml to newcomers. Some instances already defederate from them, and they don't defederate lemmygrad and hexbear. Just pick any other general instance instead, lemmy.zip, sopuli, lemmy.ca etc is much better experience for new users.

This post also has some really good points for a general tips writeup like this: https://lemmy.zip/post/31641809

Nothing special, that's how urls with unicode, non ascii chatacters look like. It's called punycode, more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name

Emoji domains work the same, e.g. ❤️🍺.ws is the same as http://xn--qei8618m.ws/

Did you used piefed's new migration feature? I don't know how that works, but federation of old posts is slow. Wait max 1-2 days and they should show up, you just started the commomutiy today. New posts should show up instantly. Ask about this on piefed_help

Different instances of the same software. Like all lemmy instances running the same software, all piefed instances run the same piefed software. But it's not important.

The technology lemmy and piefed runs on is very interesting and complex, I don't like to overwhelm users with the tech gibberish when I explain what is lemmy. The important thing: they don't have to register everywhere, only at one instance, and they can read everything from that account, even if it's ona different instance. For mobilapp use voyager for lemmy, intetstellar for piefed and mbin.

Later when they explored the fediverse they will find the tech writeups organically, you don't have to start with that.
