Just wanted to say thanks for telling me this! Solved my issue and I wouldn’t have thought of it straight away at all.
Yeah Relay works still and is going in a subscription model
Glad you said this. People demanding large instances like this one defederate from stuff they don’t personally like are, frankly, very mislead and trying to be little dictators. That’s not their decision to make.
Needlessly aggressive internet arguments and flame wars for no reason
Building history one update at a time 😎
It’s real hard to break a habit that’s been ongoing for almost 12 years for me. I’m trying to do my part by contributing, upvoting, etc
We should probably call them communities because, well, that’s what they are so we don’t confuse the noobs. Also, I want to emphasize that this definitely isn’t reddit
Is there a roadmap anywhere? I looked at joinlemmy and it’s only showing vague news instead of a clear, concise roadmap. Oh and yeah, blocking instances is critical. Really annoyed with socialist spam.
What are the potential downsides to this? In other words, why isn’t it like this stock?
I installed a backup camera and dashcam for like a hundred bucks a few years ago. Totally worth it and has captured a couple accidents as well as prevented a few more
Unfortunately I do not :( it was on a discussion from an article about Reddit standing firm on API changes iirc
Potentially worded a bit abrasively but…kinda yeah. They rely so heavily on fomo, gacha, and other skinner box tricks to keep you playing other than FUN. Just remember what happened to Titanfall 2: "ohhh it was SO FUN it just didn’t have the events and grinding and stuff I wanted >:( "
I think for now it’s so early it doesn’t matter all that much. Just have fun! You can make multiple accounts so why not
I have a small contribution: another kind user I have since forgotten (rip) recommended Jerboa for Lemmy as an Android app to use. It’s much nicer than the web browser experience IMO. I heard there’s also a good option on iOS, so feel free to chime in if you know what that is. I heard on HackerNews that some people plan to make their own Lemmy instances effectively private so they can simply use it as a personal feed and go anywhere they please. Sounds like a great idea, honestly. Imagine an IowaMan instance, for example, and I would simply control it however I want. Not sure what the reqs would be tho.
There’s some massive UI onboarding issues, but the community here is wayyyy better than reddit imo. Without a framework of understanding, it’s hard to figure out what server to join, how subscriptions work across instances, etc. My current understanding is if I like lemmy.world the most, I am just going to search communities from other instances I like and subscribe to it on my profile here. At least, that’s what I’ve been doing.
How is the name pronounced? All-ovah like all over? Uh lova, like Chicago for a lover? Sounds like the name of a prescription drug.
