I hate to say it, but the only thing that can explain this kind of sudden jump is error in data.

There are situations where lesser evil is the best available choice, but this isn’t one of them.

Same. History has shown me that it’s better to skip if you don’t want to play it immediately. It will come to sale again with steeper discount.

Alright that’s decent enough price. While you can get 3rd party Dock pretty cheap, counting in shipping and the power adapter, it rounds up to 70€ for me. For 10€ more I can get first party support, that’s actually competitive value.

I’ll buy the Dock if it’s on sale. I might actually buy it anyways but might as well wait one day to see if I can save a few bucks.

I’ve put off buying it since honestly it feels a bit overpriced since you can get a hub that does pretty much the same job for 20€.

Concept is great, but there’s a big usability issue (BE: 0.17.4) that quickly needs fixing. When you browse the main index, new posts just pop up and it messes up whatever you were reading and also closes images.

It’s great news when the social media oligopoly shoots themselves in the foot.

So far I’ve tried:

• Facebook = Diaspora
• Irc = Matrix (Element)
• Reddit = Lemmy
• Twitter = Mastodon

Out of all the different federated solutions I’ve tried, I believe this one has the best chance to hit big. Diaspora didn’t work because the network effect is too strong with Facebook. Same with Matrix and Mastodon. But reddit is pseudoanonymous platform, you are not here because of some specific people. It’s actually somewhat a benefit when there are less people and you have more room for people to see the content you put out. And the quality of the discussion can be better when there are fewer people.

It’s still likely that everyone will just go back to reddit but we have a good chance here. The Lemmy UI is actually better and more snappy for someone who has used old reddit all this time.
