You can still follow Beehaw communities (or ones on any other instance) from this instance, you just have to view them from lemmy.world. If you check the “all” tab under “communities” you should be able to see some of them and also search for them.
Do you know if there’s a drop-in replacement for PRAW in the works? It would be nice to be able to port bots over easily for communities that relied on them.
I would love to see a Lemmy app using the RIF design! The RIF developer is focused on an app for Tildes right now, but even something just copying the interface would be nice to see.
I see the music industry as the “greater evil” here, but I think I’m rooting for both sides to spend a bunch of money (by normal person standards, it’ll probably be a drop in the bucket for them) on legal fees before the inevitable settlement requiring Twitter to create a Content ID-esque system for videos.
