I’m using the website of my instance. Lemmy instances typically have their own website you can use - which is exactly or slightly modified versions of the interface of the Lemmy project.
If you trust your instance with your account and its associated data surely you trust it’s website.
You’d think the lesson would have been learned by hive mind drive-by down votes with Reddit. You always know when somebody (actually) can dispute what you say, because they say it!
Do you find its sometimes hard as hell to follow replies? I never remember having that issue with Infinity, yet seem to have it all the time with Eternity.
I was a boost user for reddit, and when it finalized for Lemmy I had to “launch the rocket” 🚀 (get it again) I loved it over there and it is getting awesome here, as for privacy, I honestly don’t know, and I know that is probably the worst thing I could say here. I was so angry with reddit about the greed and all it just felt right to keep supporting boost. I am rather noob to the privacy concerns and I am learning.
it seems like if you are interested in private, Lemmy isn’t really a great place?
It strikes me that the lemiverse is basically self doxximg with no ability to get rid of the data. I mean I don’t really know what gwts logged but it seems like it’s never gone via federation.
There is a big difference between posting in public non confidential stuff and an app tracking all your clicks and likes and device contacts and telemetry
Sync is the absolute best app but I think privacy is probably not great.
But this is Lemmy so you don’t even need to use an email address if you don’t want. You can be semi anonymous and change username often if you want, and change between apps or instances also.
Data is never gone but it’s also not tied to anything real about you.
I’ve only used Thunder, but it’s been just fine and I haven’t felt like I need to see what else is out there. I guess it could be more responsive with reply notifications and such but that’s pretty minor.
