Coming over from Reddit; this is my first step into the Fediverse. I’ve heard stories about how all the servers are connected, since it’s all the same protocol… but I have no idea how that works in practice.

Either way, I’d want to start using Lemmy more. I primarily Reddit using the Relay for Reddit app; if there was an app of a similar quality it would make switching a lot easier. Does one exist? How does all this work together? Sorry for the noob questions, haha.

      Is it confirmed to be malware malware or just malware as in proprietary and therefore unverifiable?

        I don’t know if it is malware. I use it currently but the dev has never responded to my requests for source code.

        I will look into Lemmur when it is released.

          That app doesn’t ask for any permission, it’s hard to be “malware” on Android this way.

              Who cares? This is even a testing instance and I wouldn’t build reputation here anyway.

                  Then I will revoke the access for the app and change the password. I don’t see what’s the problem with using a closed source client this way, on the other hand I can’t neither know what code this instance is running, who does assure it runs the open source Lemmy? You always need to trust someone.
