Yeah, this is one of the main problems impeding lemmy’s growth. Normies don’t care about “instances.”

Maybe there needs to be some rough IP geolocating to just pick one for them and redirect.

I really doubt they’d do that either.

That may be technically true, but both TLDs are ubiquitous and it’s extraordinarily unlikely that the US will suddenly start confiscating millions of .com and .net domain names operated by non-Americans.

lmao, sure, the ear wax cops are gonna show up at your door to raid your garbage cans for waxy cotton swabs

That works, too. I’m on lemmy.ca. Buying a .ca domain requires confirmation of citizenship or other qualification before you can even use it.

The difference being that Unilever won’t confiscate your Q-Tips for cleaning out your earwax.

The official and authorized use for the TLD is an association with Mali. It doesn’t matter what hip new meaning us internet dweebs want to assign to it.

My thoughts exactly. You should not be choosing TLDs that are volatile to upsets like this. Stick with the tried and true .com or .net, or one of the new TLDs that are not bound to a nation (unless you can comply with the stipulations) or particular type of organization.

Doesn’t work for me

Edit: oh, it’s a swipe gesture. I wish I could edit directly from my comment history, though.

Okay, I just tried Thunder. This is the best one yet. Clean UI, everything’s fast. How do I edit a comment, though?

Voyager definitely needs to add some loading/activity indicators and implement better separation between interface and data fetching. But it’s definitely the cleanest UI I’ve tried so far.

I encountered a weird bug with connect, where I’m logged in, but I can’t access my profile or inbox. Some parts of the app think I’m logged in, others do not.

It’s mobile optimized, but it’s painfully slow and laggy. Have they fixed the annoying post auto-loading?

So far, all the lemmy apps I’ve used are in very early stages and quite buggy. Currently enjoying WefWef (PWA / web-based app) which I like the best.

Looking forward to Sync, though!

Neat. Just out of curiosity, you actually bill 1¢ (ish) per hour?
