I used to hear this joke with a cat or horse instead of duck, being a programmer rather than a roofer. Anyway, funny!

The thing is discoverability. In general, you can’t just search advertise the entire Fediverse using a party of a name, like “find me all communities about Africa”.

IMO there’s no such thing as “on Lemmy” in general, unless you mean this specific instance of Lemmy. But anyway, this problem of balance seems to be an eternal philosophical question which may be never solved once for all. Each instance chooses its own combination of censorship and freedom.

Also, wondering about the following:

• why the client is imitating WhatsApp?
• why there’s no system tray on Linux and I can even remember a discussion that it’s not needed?
• why the desktop app top menu looks like a menu of a foreign wrapper?
