Could be both: “I will now play ‘Cry me a river’ on the world’s tiniest violin.”

With a bang.

“Sniff the cod” This is a typo right? I don’t know any better, but I had a good laugh.

A myth.

Where have I seen this before? Oh yeah: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_Games

They’ll be fine.

Honestly, I feel like the answer you’re looking for is a federated single sign on app. The real challenge will be building the right tools and community mindset for determining what a “trusted” instance is.

It does? I don’t recall that happening.

Careful now, that same kind of wishing gave us a plague, lol.

That’d be nice. I think this is what confused me - I made an account here, and expected to be able to use this account to interact with other packages like Funkwhale. However, it seems this is not the case. Each package requires you to create an account on their platform if you want to interact with their content within their app.

I can see how the incompatibility can happen, despite the common protocols, each package serves a different purpose. For example, what should be shown when you subscribe to a video hosting service through a Lemmy instance? An aggregated list of thumbnails? A list of videos? What is a video hosting service to a link aggregator.

Despite having a common protocol, it does seem impossible to have one app handling everything.

Thank you for your reply.

I got similar results. I can see his profile, but not his posts. Thanks for replying! This definitely helps.

Sorry! Fixed.
