Tried to join but looks like they don’t accept disposable emails unfortunately.

Unpopular opinion, but I’d consider it if the API provided all the data. I never expected the API to always continue to be free. But making me pay and providing incomplete data? Nah.

Just pay for Spotify… £10 for access to almost every song ever published. People need to appreciate how good they have it.

Allowing mods to pin comments was a mistake. Was always going to be abused.

The good thing is I think most of these issues are a design issue that can be solved client side rather than fundamental flaws in the architecture.

For example, if you go to comment on a Beehaw thread and the app just showed some kind of prompt, e.g. “Sign-up to Beehaw or an instance federated with Beehaw to comment on this sublemmy” I think it would feel pretty straightforward.

All the confusion with how federation works is something a well designed app could explain to users as they explore. Obviously it will just take time for the platform to mature to this stage.

Why can I still see Beehaw posts though?
