You talk about users like about some apples that you can just buy in the nearest shop.

That's not how it works. If you want users to use your app, you don't need to create imaginary problem, you need to solve a real problem, otherwise all your "user gatherings" will give you users for a very short period of time, after that users will leave platform.

Your post is very naive view of current state of the world, sorry. Nobody will buy privacy, people who concerned about privacy don't use data-mining services (like line or Facebook).

Do you want money? Do something that users will want to use.

I know one good example - etke.cc, those guys create and support Matrix servers for users, their work based on opensource and they get money directly from users, fair relations with users, IMO.

I know a lot bad examples, where sevice maintainers sell users data, even if they have paid service.

Be fair with users, be good one.

I wish they move to matrix... Like KDE, GNOME, Mozilla and others did

Matrix saves metadata on your server, inside your database and you can disable federation, so only your server will have your data. In such case you are limited to users and groups on your server

Try briar messenger. IMO, it's more solid than jami

No-no-no, scraping is not a problem, data leak is a problem

Already posted one of them to the lemmur community and found other things already posted, too (example: goto comment from notification)

And that's very good! I'm tired of covid-related posts, 99% of them are useless and don't provide any interesting content. When I subscribe to the technology communities I don't want to read about covid, I want to read about technologies!

Of course, if you interested in covid-related content, just subscribe to specific communities about it, but don't post it in other communities

It will not work, I already tried it without signature spoofing.

IIRC, you should patch system's services.jar, otherwise micro g will be installed, but won't work

Hey, I'm new to Lemmy and I can tell you about the missing part - clients.

I accidentally found Lemmy client in F-droid (lemmur) it's pretty good, but lacks a lot of QoL features.

I think, having multiple clients for all platforms will help with userbase and content.

Add Lemmy clients to Google Play, Apple App Store, Amazon App Store, Huawei App Store, etc.

More clients -> more people find out Lemmy -> more users will join Lemmy -> more content will be posted by these users.

Of course it's my own opinion, not pretending to be the only way
