  • I know this sounds strange. This could be totally innocent, but I’m bringing it to people’s attention.

    Whenever I use new software from Github I try to learn a bit about the coders.

    In the case of Fruittopia, according to Github, it’s The Coca-Cola Company.

    When I signed up for the IOS Testflight it said that the creator was Minute Maid. Strange, I thought and looked up that name. That’s what led me to this DailyMeal News article and one from the Globe and Mail Pick with care: Some juices are soft drinks in disguise. It’s not a common juice name so seemed strange

    When the app was finally released on iTunes it contained the name Minute Maid, again, in the listing (check on the cached Google results page).

    But now when you check the iTunes Minute’s name is gone, and it’s listed as The Coca-Cola Company. Are they trying to hide something?

    This all seems suspicious, and before I trust the app I was wondering if anyone knew the real story behind this. Is this the same person? Why the differing names in the Itunes store and on Github?








  • So imagine Lemmy is outlook.com and Mastodon in gmail.com. When you want to send an email to someone on outlook.com, you send them on gmail.com to their outlook address.

    Lemmy and Mastodon work similarly. From Mastodon, you can follow Lemmy communities and interact with posts and comments directly from within Mastodon. Your login information on Mastodon is separate from Lemmy, they’re different accounts on different instances.

    What you’ll want to do is log into Mastodon on Mastodon and follow Lemmy communities. You’ll be able from there to interact with Lemmy like you’re interacting with Toots. Granted it only works if the instance you’re following federates with mastodon.
