Sorry I’ll let someone more knowledgeable answer about metadata, but signal does allow you to set a username and hide your phone number (so people add you with username instead if f number)

Sure. But ur post aint shit. It’s a good post.

Who is titler?

Exercise won’t change much.

What you need to do is eat less calories than you burn — so eat a little less, and you will lose weight.

I’ve honestly found signal better than matrix.

Matrix is just not there yet in terms of features UI etc and is less private than signal because it collects way more metadata and stuff. I know the idea of federation is cool, but Signal works better for the privacy aspect.

Why is this in the shitpost comm?

They also have stopped updating lemmy so they are running on really old software — which makes them incompatible with most apps!

Truly a shit post. Congrats

Changes in your body change your dreams — illnesses can induce nightmares, or stop you from dreaming all together — we don’t understand how dreaming works mostly, but we do understand that basically any physical change can induce changes in dreaming.

Great — Just I would characterise feddit.org as for german speakers — because characterising it as for germany austria switzerland might confuse a french speaking swiss when they would be much better served by jlai.lu which has french speaking swiss communities.

Yep. It’s full of resources for people with the same illness as me.

Dozens, I say!

Can we not share amp links which have built in trackers?

lemmy.cafe, lemmy.zip, lemmy.one

Same — that’s why I tend to point people to a specific instance, instead of lemmy as a whole.

and in practice they are more MLM (maoism) or MLS (stalinism).

Yeah I think I elaborated too much. Let’s just keep recommending small instances — because the current centralisation on world sucks.

Yeah. join-lemmy.org unfortunately isn’t great because it often points to random semi dead instances.

Something like,

The instance you join doesn’t matter much — because you can access all content no matter what instance you are on — but it can be nice to be on an instance that shares you interests and values, because you will have to conform to the rules of that instance. Think of it like your clan — it’s like your email being yourname@yourworkplace — you can still email everyone else and see their emails, but it signals something about you, and it has different rules.
