  • There are different things I like about them… 🤔 I really like the way PieFed merges crossposts together, although I wish it could be smarter at “noticing” identical posts that weren’t actually crossposted.

    But then, I really like “Scaled” sorting, and Lemmy’s seems way better to me. (I couldn’t begin to tell you why.) I also like having more choice of Android apps on Lemmy, but I’m sure that’ll change quickly enough.

    So I guess it might depend on how development goes on both platforms?



  • Busuu for language learning. It’s like Duolingo, but the main difference is that it actually teaches you the grammar, instead of just making you memorise random sentences. It also has some audio and video of native speakers, at least on the Japanese course. And each module ends with a prompt where you freely write or speak your answer (e.g., “What do you like to eat?”) in your target language, and then it gets graded/corrected by native speakers in the community.

    And for Japanese kanji specifically, WaniKani. Nothing else I’ve ever tried has helped with kanji, but their writing style and off-the-wall mnemonics honestly make it so much easier. And you get the first three levels for free, which is actually tons of content.
