Every time I browse without adblock it blows my mind how shitty an experience it is. I genuinely don't know how people browse the internet every day with so many ads being shoved in their faces.

Oh, great news! New Fairphone looks good, look forward to seeing the specs. I hadn't heard of the Shiftphone before reading the article so will also look into that.
It's good that they mention the refurbished option. The most eco-friendly phone is the one you have, the second most eco-friendly phone is one someone else is getting rid of. Of course, the repairability promise of phones like the Fairphone is exciting and might make them a good bet longer-term.
I plan on using my current phone into the ground but I'm not sure what I will do when it finally dies. I think if there is a Fairphone 5 with modern specs by then, I would strongly consider it. I know constant new releases kind of goes against Fairphone's philosophy so there might not be a 5 for a while, but with the Fairphone 4's specs I would worry about how long it will remain useful. If there is not an improved Fairphone out by then, I would still consider a Fairphone 4 or would likely buy a refurbished Pixel.
Interesting, thanks for the explanation. I thought it might be available as I can follow off-instance communities on Jerboa but I haven't dug into the source code there to see how they do it.
Hi there, thanks for working on this! One thing I am trying to do is write a script that fetches all of a particular user's subscribed communities (on any instance). It seems like a fairly simple thing but I can't seem to find any library that offers that functionality at the moment, unless I am missing something.
Another thing I'd like to be able to do is follow a community on a different instance to the user's local instance. I see Plemmy has a follow_community method but it's not clear if it allows following communities on different instances.
Are these things that Plemmy does or will support? It wasn't clear to me from the docs and am just wondering if Plemmy (or any existing library) will work for my use case.
Looks good! Is there a reason it currently only supports Python < 3.11?
If it's a "classic" cocktail experience you're after then some of the high end hotels have good spots. The Connaught Bar and the Library Bar at the Lanesborough are very nice (quite expensive though and a bit stuffy).
Personally I'm a fan of Bar Américain at Brasserie Zédel.
Cahoots is another decent cocktail bar with a London Underground theme (set in an old station).
Not a cocktail bar but the Southbank Centre has a cool rooftop garden area with a small bar.
Donations, or with a small enough instance a server admin might just pay out of his or her own pocket. Maybe if Lemmy were ever to get much bigger there might be paid or ad-supported instances.
I think a big part of the point of federation is that the costs of hosting servers can be distributed so no one has to spend millions to keep their server running. That way there is less of a need to monetise an instance (and less of an incentive, as if you start doing anti-user stuff, people can just move to a different instance).
