The UK has gone through something like this. I went from 2% to 5% earlier this year.

Yeah I agree, it would be nice to be able to search “baking” and get all the instances that have a !baking@… community.

Early days, it’ll be interesting to see what the 3rd party app developers come out with.

I am, and I’ve noticed one welcomed effect it has had in me.

I’ll admit I had an unhealthy phone habit of mindlessly scrolling and Reddit nurtured this.

As much as I’m excited about Lemmy - the barriers I’m finding of finding content that appeases my desire to scroll has greatly reduced my phone usage. Smaller user base, inability (for me anyway) to find communities and content through the search etc.

Lemmy is just good enough for me not to go back to Reddit, but not matured enough to replace the addition.

I’ve never heard about this. You should send an email to all the developers of the 3rd party Lemmy apps to let them know. Could be a good consideration to allow to disable this in accessibility features.

I disagree with this, I mean you can donate to the creator of Lemmy using crypto if you wanted.

It’s cool though, it appears that this is a really unwelcome suggestion here 😅

That mean that user AND server administrator will control user wallet.

Well, if this were the case I guess it’s not a great idea at all!

I’m no authority on this subject. It’s just the first instance of federation I read about before Limmey etc.

I believe there would be some integration from Limmey, to generate the keypair along with the user account. It could be up to 3rd party apps if they if they wanted to utilise this and allow for account management from the app. Or none at all and Lemmy could just allow for exporting your private key to use elsewhere.

As for why, I guess you don’t have a great rationale. It just seems like a progression to me. If people are communicating with each other in this manner, why not allow for payment. A person could always share a public key, PayPal or bank details if they wished. This way would just be undoubtedly linked to the person you were considering paying.

That’s fair. Although I think it could be implemented without effecting your Lemmy experience. It would just allow people to send payment to a person’s federated account. Collecting or transfering this payment could be done “off-app” through conventional wallet apps.

It would just be a means of sending/recieving payments from your account.

Aka the Portuguese approach. Over there anything less than 10 days supply is not considered a criminal offence.

I believe it’s mostly considered to be a successful policy.

The 3rd party app developers might just do that. Boost for Reddit is making Boost for Lemmy now.

Amazing news, boost was my preferred Reddit app and I’ve requested it to download as soon as it’s available (that’s not an option I’ve seen before).

This is my first Lemmy post, how exciting.
