  • Well I own and manage the server for one thing, so it makes sense for me. Considering the sensitivity of this I try to keep as much of it as possible under my direct control. I only have three devices that I need all of my passwords on, and with KeePass you just click the drop-down and select the sync option when you need to update. I have an sftp client on my phone and will just upload the database whenever I need to. There is an auto syncing option on the client, but I don’t use it. It’s definitely not the most convenient option out there, but good security is rarely convenient.

    KeePass is great. Has all the features I want and then some. Everything is stored locally, you can encrypt with password and private keys and it even has the ability to sync dabases on a on a home server. I use it on windows and android. Since 99% of the time I make password updates on my phone I’ll just sftp the database file to my server and then use it to sync with my windows machine next time I’m on it.




  • I know I haven’t yet managed to get lemmy to provide me the fix I was getting from reddit, yet.

    I feel the same. The content is absolutely limited right now. I’ve been switching back and forth for a few days, and the content is just better over on Reddit. Even if a lot of it is reposts, it’s still quality content that will draw in fresh eyes. I get in here and scroll through all filtered by hot, and very few posts are drawing me in.

    I worry about lemmy not giving people enough of what reddit provides and people driftng back.

    I know it isn’t. Which is pretty much the reason for my question. If there isn’t a constamt stream of quality content, people will just stop coming here.


  • Maybe. I’m finding the Lemmy content and platform features lacking personally. Some of my favorite subs don’t have an analogue here, and the clones here are significantly smaller and therefore have less content. I see great potential though, which is why I think “stealing” content is a sound strategy to grow. I find it interesting also, because there are two reasons people use Reddit: The content and the platform. One of those things isn’t actually owned by Reddit. So Lemmy has the distinct advantage in that there is already a good platform in place, and all the good content of Reddit (and half of it’s value) can be moved over here.




  • Help me understand how reposting fucks the content creators? They are simply having their labor exploited by Reddit. They aren’t being compensated for their work, and a billion dollar company is reaping all the financial benefits.

    I feel like with all the protests the real core issue, or what people should be angry about was not really hammered home. Reddit is a business and Lemmy is not, right? Reddit’s business model relies on labor exploitation of not just the content creators, but the moderators. Reddit expects these people to work for them, but provides no pay and on top of that shows a general disregard, contempt and disgusting for those people who allow them to exist and make their execs rich. That is what I find most disgusting, and feel like this point was just glossed over by everyone that was pissed off by the whole api thing.
