Not in this day and age where me and my grandma have our own.
There are so many, you can’t keep up to date with your hobbies unless you are willing to follow 50 platforms with 60 different UIs and community rules.
I prefer the aggregation of data like fediverse where we can follow topics and not platforms.
Collapsible comment threads
We need to document this and make sure everyone knows what reddit is doing.
There’s been a lot of posts both here and on reddit saying that mentions of kbin and/or lemmy get deleted or the users/subs get outright banned, like /r/redditMigration, which had 2 posts and got banned for spam.
Regardless of the outcome of the strike, Reddit already has died. The users that matter won’t go back. The users that stay will be media and a large pool of lurkers with no value to the community.
Reddit as we knew it, already died.
Yeah the non-commercial part just destroys the entire announcement. Mods could just use a community made bot that they bought for like $5 and be done with it.
Since this will be now against the ToS, no one will be bothered to develop these tools for free, to move around.
This is a worthless post.
Regardless of the outcome, I hope Reddit’s recent decisions turn in /r/leopardsatemyface.
mainstream media will discover Lemmy exists.
Mainstream media will 100% catch up more by the reveal of Meta’s Twitter alternative that implements the ActivityPub protocol.
Yeah it’s something that needs fixing since even right now in this thread I might be having a conversation with you but someone else seems completely different comments and not ours, nor are we seeing theirs.
It’s unintentional fragmentation further than the one already existing due to federalization.
The ecosystem needs to be more consistent.
It’s not uncommon apparently.
It’s happened to me twice so far.. I supposed, the more strain on the server the more it shits the bed on this, but it is a security issue and needs to be resolved.
When it happened, I decoded the JWT and it wasn’t different than my regular one. It still had my own subid as I usually have but for some reason, it shows me someone else’s username.
This has been my experience with every community so far.
Even when I open the same post from 2 different instances nothing is the same and additionally, sometimes even the comments will load up for half a second and then everything disappears and it says 0 comments.
Finally, this is the same even for entire communities. Same community, 24 subscribers in one instance, show 2 from the other.
This has probably something to do with the fact that content is pulled only after users subscribe from another instance, etc. I’m not exactly sure how it works for now but it could even be a bug.
Yes.
I managed to get in because apparently now it’s invitation only but I still MUCH prefer lemmy.
Mostly because everyone is moving towards ActivityPub and Tildes isn’t.
Oh wow, already? I made an account a few days ago without restrictions.
My girlfriend has ~800 hours in Lost Ark and ~500 hours in Guild Wars 2.
She always nags me about not finding her new games. I am glad we are compatible in more than one thing.
Hey neighbour(Greek here)!
The way federation works, is that although federation is enabled the actual communities are not automatically broadcasted to other instances. If you want your newly created community to be visible to other instances you have to manually add it there by following these steps:
/communities in that instanceEnter. There will be no results but don’t worry, it worked.You should now be able to see the community there.
Unfortunately each community has to be manually indexes in every instance but I think lemmy.directory is trying to index everything so people can find stuff easier, in there.
I will have to disagree with you on both points.
Point 1: Not finding the settings.
Whenever you join an app, platform or start up a new video game, you need to go to the settings and set your preferences. This is something very logical at the beginning as you have no idea what to expect. Additionally the settings in lemmy/jerboa are very minimal. You can set them up in about a minute. Claiming this is not user friendly is not a valid argument to be honest since Jerboad doesn’t have them hidden. It’s users who ignore the settings.
Point 2: Some users can’t even figure out how to login using the app.
Lemmy, kbin and mastodon all implement the same protocol named ActivityPub but they all choose to make their front-end fundamentally different despite having access to the same content. This ecosystem doesn’t do everything for you and it doesn’t claim to. People, including myself, found out about this ecosystem from external resources and not from lemmy itself. It took me about 4 minutes to figure out what to do and where as I actively wanted to figure it out. If people can’t bother for 3-4 minutes to figure things out(Even just clicking the Join button) then I don’t see what improvement any platform can do to improve this. If anyone clicks on the Join button the go to registration and then to login. It’s very different to reddit but very simple.
instead of other servers?
The fact that when people started joining about a week ago or so, lemmy.ml was at the top of the recommendations in join-lemmy, the fact that it had in its description that lemmy.ml is ran by the developers of lemmy and the jerboa app so people assumed this is the correct one and lastly, unfortunately during that time the only alternative instances at the top of the recommendations was lemmygrad and I don’t remember the other one that screamed communism so people flocked to other ones.
Yes they do.
I have already contributed to the documentation of backend and it has been approved and merged.
This dude’s channel is hilarious. Especially the Senior JS one.
I logged in about 3 hours ago and was browsing Lemmy.ml. While looking around, I got suddenly logged out. I pressed “Log in” and it immediately logs me back in and on the top right, my username was “Unwarlike”.
I can only assume this was someone else’s account and the app messed something up.
I pressed logout and then logged back in and it went back to normal.
I think there are a few bugs that need ironing our in lemmy’s codebase.
Edit: It happened again.
Greed.
The answer is always Greed.
What profit is my government(Greek) going to have by doing this? Nothing, so obviously it’s not gonna be done.
If everything is because of profit, then nothing works.
