On a somewhat related note, how are you coping with the scaling from the Reddit migration?

Lemmy’s sorting logic needs love. This is the first time it’s really been pressure tested with tens of thousands of simultaneous active users. Were learning that the current logic tends to promote content longer than some people like.

If people are still commenting and voting on a 3 day old posts, those post remain promoted.

Yeah, I can clean that one up. I think there is something silly / unique with that approach.

Let me see what I can do

Thanks kind Lemmitor!

Have at it. First ones I banged out in about an hour, but after looking at them on my phone, some stuff just didn’t scale well. Also that gradient background in the sandbox was just a screenshot of something I liked. Probably “fair use” but it wasn’t too hard to make some new gradients.

The admins might be closing registration because their instance (server) is being hugged to death with the Reddit migration.

I’d advise signing up with a smaller server. You’ll still be able to subscribe and post to Lemmy.ml communities from another server.

FYI, Memmy was JUST submitted to the AppStore at 8am yesterday. It’s waiting on review. 🤞

I love Memmy, but that icon looks like a clown tick.

Kind of interesting.

When CA banned affirmative action in the 90s, the US was unintentionally given a massive control cohort that could be used to quantify how fairly or unfairly affirmative action impacted kids that were black, white, asian, hispanic, etc.

What is the bug?

Ghostalmedia, 11 months ago

Ahh. My guess is that isn’t a “bug.” It’s more of a feature that was cool when Lemmy had very few posts, but now it’s annoying AF.

Devs should probably put it in the meatball menu on posts so there is a redundant back up for newbies.

The argument for it at the Supreme Court was basically cold hard math.

California banned it in the late 90’s, which basically gave the US a massive control variable. In the data set with AA, white and Asian students didn’t really have their futures and earning potential impacted by AA. That said, black and Hispanic kids saw massive lifts.

The other argument it is that the race neutral alternatives that were tried in CA over the last 25 years have not been as impactful at lifting the earning potential of black and Hispanic kids.
