Wait are you saying that with the example your provided your password for Lemmy would be catlemmy-Dog5? Because that’s a terrible system.

That’s the one I use as well and it gets rid of the sign in popup without breaking or blocking other Google sites.

Just use a password manager and a unique, long, random generated password for every site. There’s no need or reason to know the password to anything other than your password manager and your primary email.

Looks good, but as far as I can tell there’s no option to keep your data offline only.

After using old.reddit for ~15 years (of course back then it was called just reddit) I have to say I don’t miss it one bit. It had so many issues, but was still infinitely better than the abomination they came up with to replace it so I stuck with it. While far from perfect, I much prefer Lemmy’s UI.

With that said, having the option is great. I’m sure it’ll help a lot of people with the transition.

The smaller communities for specific interests (music genres, hobbies, etc).

Reviews and opinions. With Google results becoming worse by the hour, fake reviews flooding Amazon, paid reviews in almost every site/blog, when I’m about to purchase something I’m not 100% sure about I just search reddit to see what actual people are saying about it.

And last but not least - mostly sane discussions for news/articles with nested comments and a voting system. Lemmy already offers everything needed for that, what remains to be seen is how the community develops and grows.
