Now that Memmy is in the App Store on iOS, I feel like Wefwef is going to be left behind since this is the main place people go to discover apps. I know that Wefwef is a PWA web app but if it could be put in the store that might get more people to use it. Are there any downsides to being in the store?
For me the biggest issue of wefwef is gonna be the freezing issue while scrolling, which everyone keeps saying is just a limitation of the web browser. If that’s not something that can ever be fixed I can’t see myself sticking with it no matter how great the UI is once other alternative apps are available and fully featured.
I could swear to God I never hit the 10 mark over there. In here as long as it isn’t a “^this” I get 10-20, and solidly hit the 50 mark if I comment something truly meaningful.
Let me preface by saying, I would love to hear counter points and am fully open to the fact that I could be wrong and totally out of touch. I just want to have some dialogue around something that’s been bothering me in the fediverse....
Many is not all. And by creating an us vs them mentality where I’m “us” for the most part, but not for the whole part, there’s situations where the need to choose is being presented. It’s gatekeeping for the sake of gatekeeping, and really isn’t part of a healthy community of people.
I always hated the stereotype that Reddit was full of nothing but loser virgins trapped in their mom’s basement who had no friends and no chance of a fulfilling life.
I mean, sure there are a lot of people there (and here) that probably fit most, if not all of that stereotype, but the constant need to point out what losers we all are is problematic in so many ways. Namely that some of us do actually have friends, hobbies, and lives, but still can relate to the overall vibe of being a bit of a weirdo or a loner or whatever, but also it has a tendency to create this barrel of crabs type mental barrier where it just feels like the constant reminders of “if this is all I am, this is all I will ever be” keeps presenting itself. It’s tiring and is the reason why I always kept all the self-insulting subs like me_irl on my block list.
The internet has a way of taking things that are used sarcastically and removing every bit of irony. The Flat Earth Society, PCMR, and The Donald subreddit all started out as making fun of the people that are now 100% unironically part of very thriving (and toxic to differing levels) communities.
I think that will almost certainly happen to the word normie, if it hasn’t already.
It’s a pretty well established anecdote that most of the time a McDonalds tells you the ice cream machine is broken, it’s because they’ve already cleaned it for the night and if they use it again they’ll need to reclean it. It’s easier to say it’s broken rather than make one dessert and then have to reclean it all over again.
I noticed an odd behavior today and it has me wondering how things work. So far I’ve exclusively used wefwef for 100% of my Lemmy experience. I can click on my profile and it shows all my comments. As expected....
Ok, nevermind, I think I figured out what’s going on. And discovered another strange issue that may or may not need looking into if possible. Turns out, the comment I made was in a shitpost community that I used Memmy to block. So now it doesn’t just block the posts from that community from being shown in my all feed, it actually blocks any comments, and posts that were made in that community from being shown to me across all of wefwef. This…isn’t really what I expected the block feature to do. I’m not sure that I love that, but I guess it’s fine. I know when you blocked a subreddit on Apollo it only stopped posts from that sub from showing up in your feed, but you could still see comments when you clicked on people’s profiles. I would prefer that to be how this works, but I guess since I didn’t even block the community using wefwef, this is just a limitation of how blocking on Lemmy works as a whole? Interesting.
Which, imo, is a big mistake. When I click on someone’s profile, especially mine, I want to see all the comments they’ve made, no matter if it’s in a blocked community or not.
”PC Master Race” is just a joke and a meme. That’s it.
You say that but just an hour or so ago, I used this community (ok, I was talking about the subreddit) alongside the Flat Earth Society, and The Donald subreddit, as examples of communities that started as jokes but then people started joining unironically and promoting the toxicity that was being made fun of to begin with.
Personally, I’ve had /r/PCMR blocked for years now, so I have no idea if it’s as toxic as it used to be. I’ll wait until I see evidence one way or the other before deciding to add this community to my block list. But I just wanted to point out that, at least for a while, the joke of this community got very much so out of hand.
When replying to a comment or post, a modal pops up for you to input text… I wish that the textfield would get focus automatically instead of having to tap or click the textfield first.
Definitely need this added. It’s super annoying on the iPad when you swipe to reply and start typing away only to find out that the text field isn’t active.
I saw a post about how there is no Karma on Lemmy, but every user still has post scores and comment scores displayed. Isn’t that literally the exact same thing?
I noticed when I had made 4 comments, it correctly displayed the total of all my scores, which I think was like 12 at the time, but now that I’ve made a few more, that add up to like 20 something it says my total is 8.
Curious to know, I’d heard “lemming” used in a semi derogatory way, since “a person who unthinkingly joins a mass movement, especially a headlong rush to destruction” is the dictionary definition. It seems to be the first thing to come to mind as to what you’d call a Lemmy user....
Personally, I hate the idea of pet names for any large community.
This one is particularly awful, however. I plan on ignoring it, but if it really does catch on to where it isn’t ignorable it will have an impact on my use of the service.
Since we’re on the topic, I’d love to be able to use wildcards to block words and phrases from being displayed. I don’t care one bit about genshin impact, and over on reddit there were hundreds of /r/<charactername>mains subreddits that I had to block one at a time. Would be great to be able to block something like *mains and get them all with one keyword.
Many ostracize people on the far right but how many of you actually have spoken to us? Go ahead and ask me anything and I will give you the best answer that I can come up with and no this is not a set up
I’ll be honest, props on you for at least opening up the possibility of discussion. It will be interesting to see how long you allow this to happen because I’ve found the overwhelming majority of reddit groups or facebook pages that lean to the right will ban people at the absolute first sign that someone isn’t on their side. I literally got banned from /r/conservative for saying I didn’t think the Babylon Bee was funny. Thus it’s usually next to impossible to have a legitimate discussion with people even if that is your goal. For all the whining that right wingers do about safe spaces, y’all sure do love to ban people to keep your echo chamber silent from anything that isn’t what you want to hear.
I don’t particularly have any questions at the moment, but I will keep an eye on this community. I’m sure I’ll quickly get labeled as a “leftist troll” if I post too much here, but I am interested to see how if this community is any different from just about every other right wing group I’ve seen on the internet thus far.

Hi there!...
Anybody else gets more upvotes in here than over THAT site?
I could swear to God I never hit the 10 mark over there. In here as long as it isn’t a “^this” I get 10-20, and solidly hit the 50 mark if I comment something truly meaningful.
Rant: I hate the term “normie”.

So that it doesn’t show on All. Would also love “smart blocks” like blocking communities in languages I don’t speak from All
