I search for “technology” in communities, and this is my result. I was expecting the biggest communities to be easy to find. Couldn’t find the main one I was looking for anywhere in the huge list of 2 or 3 member communities....
I love the app so far, it’s beautiful and I enjoy the themes a lot. I think my Lemmy usage will skyrocket now that I have this app haha (I’ve been using the mobile web version all this while). One suggestion I have is to maybe reduce the size of the upvote/downvote buttons in the comments because they’re pretty large compared to the text, but this is far from a priority of course. Keep up the good work.

This makes me sick honestly. r/place is one of the nicest memories I have of Reddit and now they’re using it as a cheap tactic to bait us to come back. Really a low blow.
Man. What the actual hell is Reddit doing? They’ve been making the most suicidal business decisions this year. Blocking third party apps, they piss off a huge active portion of their user base but sure, you could say they weren’t paying anyway. But now they’re screwing over their PAYING users? I don’t even know what they expect at this point.
But it doesn’t make any sense, no matter how you spin it. In the aftermath of one highly controversial decision, instead of laying low for a while to let the dust settle, they decide to make another one. And this time targeting the group that happens to be the least likely aggravated by the last one (since people paying for Premium likely use the official app) and also the ones that directly bring in income. I can definitely see this ending well.
This set is not the cheapest brick set you can get and is not FIDE approved, but I got it because I wanted vintage (resists moisture even after 80 years) and wanted a set that still feels valuable. A Sayer & Fisher (omg a chess reference) Company's initials engraved on the bricks was a plus....
This set is not the cheapest wooden set you can get but I got it because I wanted wood (moisture absorbing) and wanted a set that still feels valuable. A numbers chess board that was all pawns was a plus....
The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don't think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches....
I agree. I don’t like this whole principle of dictating what members are or are not allowed to see. Defederating should be a last resort. Everyone has a block button.
Our instance’s rules are for our own instance. If they come over here and start spewing ridiculous nonsense, then sure, we should start banning them. For now they aren’t even causing much trouble. If they do in the future then I’d support defederating, but I disagree with jumping the gun.
I agree with this. Isolating communities that have odious beliefs only lead to those beliefs being echoed and intensified in their small spaces, and hence become more extreme over time. It’s not “nipping the issue in the bud” like many people seem to think it is, it’s the complete opposite. Past a certain line we definitely should cut ties, but I guess it’s debatable where that line should be drawn.
Firstly, the alt-right is far from a modern issue. And secondly it’s nothing to do with feeling bad for them. I couldn’t agree less with the nonsense they’re saying there. I’m saying that defederating them doesn’t “prevent the issue in the first place” at all. Isolating communities only makes them get more extreme over time. Refusing to let them interact with us only causes their beliefs to be echoed and amplified in their communities. And I should clarify again, by no means am I saying that they should be allowed to promote their hateful messages here. If they break the rules of our instance, here in our instance, they should be banned, simple.
Holy fucking shit how bad has my sense of humour gotten that I actually cracked up at this. I was a ShitPostCrusaders user when the original pasta dropped but it never caught me off guard like this one. Man my brain’s a mess.
For a sub that’s supposed to promote Reddit alternatives, there sure is a lot of pessimism on there. I see so many people dismissing Lemmy and kbin already for being too inaccessible, the UI is clunky, it’s hard to pick up etc and saying these sites will never take off. But why? Of course a platform in its infancy will have...
Yeah, I’m not too concerned with the users who go “Looks interesting but a little too confusing for me right now so I’ll pass.” What bothers me is the ones who outright spread “Lol these alternatives are shit, Lemmy will never take off, too counterintuitive, this site has no future!!!!”. Like chill guys, it takes time. Not your thing yet? Fine. But why be so quick to outright dismiss it?
Your instance being defeded is like if the mods of a subreddit decided to ban all members of your subreddit from accessing their subreddit, and banned all their members from accessing your subreddit.
If your instance admin deletes your instance, it would be like if Gmail shut down overnight. Everything being hosted on Gmail including your accounts would be gone. But the other email services would still be up and email as a whole would still work.
What I mean by search engine is literally just Google, I don’t mean my sh.it search function. If you’re not accessing Beehaw through one of the defederated instances then it won’t know you’re from a defederated instance, no?
Flash bang bug
Does anyone else experience, what I’m calling, the flash bang bug? Where when switching back into the app it switches from dark mode to light mode?...
