In the mastodon space, folks are figuring out this exact same issue. For that space my team wrote about 100 lines of javascript code that made it far better. If you click on a remote link, it asks you ONCE what your home server is. And after that the JS automatically writes all URL's to funnel you back to your home server to interact with them. Can share that if folks want maybe it could be adapted.
This sounds awesome and is exactly what Kbin and Lemmy need! I think having to switch websites and copy/paste url's in search bars to subscribe are one of the biggest causes of confusion and frustration right now. I think this could drastically improve the overall Lemmy and Kbin experience and make the Ferdiverse way more accessible to new users.
Yeah, I was just thinking I have a browser extension that accomplishes this for Mastodon as well. I wonder if something similar could be thrown together quickly and easily for kbin.
I don't agree, I think the current system is almost perfect, it just has one problem that confuses people, the number of notifications should not be a separate button, it should be part of the user button. Like the next example:
Coming from Apollo my first thought was to click a thumbnail to view an image directly and click the title to view the comments. Now I’ve only viewed the mobile site because it was being hugged to death every time I tried to view it from a computer, but without there being a separate element you can click on to go directly to content I see the title being the next logical thing to act as a way of viewing content directly.
I'm not sure if this could work with federation but personally I don't care much about favourites/like here... I'm not sure what's the benefit of knowing that a post has been "liked" by N people (in general, but specifically here).
One thing that came to mind is that when I see federated microblogging posts in the random magazine I wish I could "label" them to add them in a specific one so magazines could be curated by the community as well.
If something like this is possible maybe the "like" on the microblogging platform could mean that somebody put your post somewhere because it mattered, just like you can add any reaction on misskey/calckey and on mastodon it's just a like.
For maybe almost a week now when I click on my notifications I just get an error. I figured I would see something about the bug but since I have not Im wondering if its just my user for some reason. Further I tried to post this as a thread and got the same error but I know I have at least submitted links in the last few days although most of my things are comments
I know, it can be a little bit of a mess at times. Especially if you've been gone for a day or two. I think there needs to be some better way of sorting through all the notifications automatically. Like different sections for replies/mentions, new threads, microblogs, etc. or something.
Hello I’m also a visual guy, maybe I can help…
Find the little cog. You’ll access to display settings.
I chose :
to always display media
to hide thumbnails
to not use compact mode
Hmm, for me there’s a little image icon under the post title on my main feed, clicking on that loads in the image in the feed without having to navigate away from the page
