No. It just means Reddit managed to argue for their specific case. And even then they had to spend resources that a Lemmy instance owner might not have.

Lemmy users are just showing their disapproval of the action. They have the right to do.

Would be great if they actually tried to understand the underlying issue instead of resorting to knee-jerk reactions.

Others have already pointed it out, but Reddit had to fight a subpoena to reveal users who discussed piracy on their site in 2011 and 2018. And just because everyone else is doing it is not a good argument to justify why this instance should expose themselves to an unnecessary risk.

It’s on this site’s Legal page.

It’s an elephant in the room. It’s an unavoidable topic that will eventually need to be addressed at some point.

It’s a little funny to imagine them making a scene about leaving and then you see them still active here but with an account from another instance.

And without. The update already provides the option to just Remove ads.

I don’t see a problem with the example you presented. The three gaming-oriented communities you listed all have their own cultures that have essentially become tied with their branding, each with their own appeal. It would be more confusing to have three gaming communities all using the same name but with different approaches on how they manage their communities. At that point, you’ll have to create a guide on which instances would have the type of community that aligns more with your preferences.

It might not work since they’re different platforms with different APIs. The only way an app might work on both platforms is if the app itself chooses to support both APIs.

That said, there’s a level of interaction between the two since they both use ActivityPub. I.e. on Mastodon I can search for a particular Lemmy user and see their posts.
