I’ll fix the typo once Jerboa is working again. Seems to be the only app I can use to edit a post with.

What app do you use that allows you to edit?

Same here but no option to edit a post.

*edit only comments it seems

This seems to be the model I’ve witnessed with many apps over the years. Free at first to get traction and users, then ads, then pay one time fee to get rid of ads, then subscription to keep using the app.

Then there are those that wouldn’t even pay a single fee and get upset at the thought as everything should be free.

The part that is upsetting is the contributions the early community made is monetized when they were they there for the benefit of the community.

I do see there are costs to maintaining and updating these apps so I can understand a need to keep revenue flowing for these future costs. The one time payment is a hell of a deal for years with updates to accommodate the revisions needed for each system update let alone functionality improvements.

In the old days we would buy software for our PC and that was it. There wasn’t really any updates or further support for newer versions of Windows. The software would become very insecure or just stop functioning altogether with enough changes to windows.

It’s hard to find the right balance. I know I only want to pay once, or heck never, but I want these upgrades and updates too.

Thank you for the info. I can’t log into Lemmy. World from a web browser or my Sync app. According to profile he’s in Ireland and probably asleep or at his age hopefully partying.

I’m just trying to understand these hidden rules. It’s not the first time I’ve bumped up against them and I didn’t think of the abortion angle. I’ll keep this in mind as it’s usually not top of mind for me.

Ahh that makes more sense. I’m usually browsing via Hot so I missed the others

Ok this works now.

I was about to say I believe you 100% but my browser would like to have a word.

I see that you have manually changed the link to the profile with my instance instead of the one I was sent.

Here’s where I got hung up. I couldn’t log into Lemmy.world either.

Thanks again!

Thanks. I just figured that out. The original link kept taking me to a lemmy.world instance that I couldn’t log into. With the manually altered one from above I could message him for the hidden rules that aren’t posted in the side bar for Shitposting. Hopefully we can get those added to the side bar too.

This was the error I first received :
