If something is priced above what I consider it’s worth, I just don’t use it.

Tell that to every student who has to pay unreasonable amounts every semester for textbooks…

Privacy versus convenience… For what I know, the most common solution to your concern would be to setup a Calibre server and access it via your Android devices. But that’s obviously a tad more complex than uploading EPUBs to Google Books.

Not sure if that’s the type of creativity you’re looking for, but it’s quite common to sell stickers on Etsy, Redbubble and similar sites. Some stores are quite successful on it.

Exactly. A lot of talk about how we can make fuel out of X, but not much about how it takes more energy to produce it than it can deliver afterwards.

Yes.

Who said that Zlib is gone? Besides Tor, you can get access to personal domains by sending an email to blackbox [at] zlib [dot] se

I know it may sound scammy, but if you still have a Reddit account I’d go to r/zlibrary and browse the pinned megathread for more info. I really hope that this community will eventually migrate here though…

On the other hand, transitioning hasn’t been smooth at all for a lot of comunities. The user is loosing access to them by leaving Reddit.

I think that trying to be more proactive on Lemmy by getting those comunities you miss from Reddit to thrive here + becoming a Reddit lurker using adblocks and some of the 3rd party apps that won’t be dead in a couple of weeks is the “least wrong” way to make the change if you want to make it gradual.

I’m looking for a gradual transition from Reddit to Lemmy. To make things easier, I started to use Redreader. Man, I wish I’d done this switch earlier.

Redreader’s dev has expressed interest on Lemmy compatibility, so when (if) this happens, I know which app I’ll be using.

I think that time will tell which one ends up winning the race.

What I usually do is checking for activity, in terms of recent posts, comments, and whatnot. If both show similar activity levels, I’ll just subscribe to both and keep watching for developments.

It’s interesting to see how the acceptance rates decrease with age, in an inverse correlation with purchasing power.

Young people are broke, and the entertainment industry is going to have a hard time adapting to this reality in a few years if things don’t change.

There’s also an online solution, I’ve tested it and it works.

I don’t know what Revolt is, I just came here to brag about having the best possible username on Lemmy.

Does anybody know what is Reddit’s userbase size? It’s difficult to put some of the numbers in https://reddark.untone.uk/ in perspective. Using percentages on the Combined User Count would be more descriptive, for instance.

Just FYI, !test is available for testing purposes.
