For me it’s definitely uBlock, tridactyl & tree style tabs

Definitely!

I AM missing out on bragging rights LMAO ^^

::: spoiler via the teleporter on the twin. I KNEW that that one was important, but couldn’t figure out how to get there, and after too much time I just looked up what to do online - that’s the only puzzle I had to do that for though, luckily :::

I think the best moment for me was probably

Sorry that that wasn’t obvious, but the desktop bit was mostly a joke!

But yeah; on desktop extra applications you have to download are definitely a hard sell.

I don’t really agree on the whole tbh. Specifically, the one thing that’s still keeping my Reddit account alive is that there’s a bunch of communities that don’t exist on any other platform because they’d need enough of a “critical mass” of users for it to make sense; and they’re too niche otherwise.
A huge influx of users certainly comes with… Challenges, I do not deny that. But I’d also love to not have to use Reddit anymore solely because of its active user count. And new Lemmy users are unlikely to come from Twitter or something; as it’s a different kind of format.

Also, I think the sentiment of “the Lemmy community rn is also formed of at least mildly tech-savvy people […]” is kind of exclusionary for no real reason, I don’t think you have to be tech-savvy to have a good perspective on things, make a good joke or all in all be a positive person to interact with.

There’s some communities on Reddit that don’t yet exist in other places; so I’m going to continue browsing those rarely; but once they move somewhere else I’m moving with them.

Users can block those on desktop without issue. On mobile it’s a bit harder so most people I know don’t even if they use ublock or something on their PCs/laptops (though that is of course only anecdotal).

So if anything if that was the issue they should’ve shut off support for the desktop version LOL
