Small point of fact, but HTML is actually overseen by WHATWG primarily, not W3C. W3C agreed back in 2019 to just follow WHATWG’s process.

Is this on /all?

No, this was on /sub, and I’ve been aggressively curating my subscriptions and blocking things I don’t have any interest in.

Even looking now on /all with incognito, though, there’s only 2 even about Lemmy. I do see a few from 196. There’s posts about atheism, random tips from @youshouldknow, a Cosplayer, quite a few memes and shitposts, some political content about Florida, a nice flower, movie news, a couple antiwork posts, an article about a new Alzheimer’s drug.

It’s just not all about the Fediverse. Is it a popular topic? Hell yeah it is, especially considering Threads literally released yesterday, and the API blocks from Reddit are just now rolling out. It’s not just popular, it’s timely and current too. As those things age, it’ll come up less.

I’m afraid half of those people signed in for a day and then left when nothing was happening.

I mean, sure. There’s been days where I haunted Kbin/Lemmy then left. But currently, there’s very little else that fills the gap of Reddit beyond this. So I keep coming back, and I keep talking. That’s how it grows.

Of the top 10 posts currently on my front page, 2 are about the Fediverse, 1 is about Kbin specifically, and the other 7 are completely different topics including politics, space, video games and art.

Maybe you should look for magazines/communities other than /m/fediverse if you want to talk about things other than the fediverse.

On the other hand this seems really strange to me and it just seems so insane to think that Reddit would even think of doing this.

Have you read about any of Spez’s interviews? This feels entirely like something they would do. Don’t forget, reddit was originally populated with bots.

I’ve been getting the same texts. And emails. And a banner across the top of their website.

Although, it’s only $10 for me, not $40.

Nah, like the other guy said, it’s just OAuth. It’s silly that they even let you do it, but hey, it is what it is.

I also sign into Outlook.com with my Gmail account. It has its own inbox, which is weird, but hey.
