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 helps, but if you've never programmed before, I definitely recommend Automate The Boring Stuff With Python by Al Sweigart. The book is free to read, plus the author is on Reddit (u/alsweigart) and releases free signups to the Udemy course based on the book each month.

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.

I'd like to know about that as well! Plus, given the relatively small size of some Lemmy communities, I'm sure it'll be way easier than being a mod on their Reddit counterparts.

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...

What additional arguments besides personal experience would you give to back this precision claim?

Temperature scales are arbitrary by nature, and the criteria behind their definition can be useful or not. Fahrenheit's isn't that much useful compared to Celsius' or Kelvin's.

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.

Thanks! Should've checked out more carefully the Github before asking. It's already installed

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.
