Still figuring this thing out

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

Shlomito,

A good chunk of those could’ve made accounts but not stayed long. And how do they get those numbers? Because there were many people who did accounts in more than one instance.

Should there be an actual equivalent to r/AskReddit in here?

Although I originally thought that AskLemmy was made as an equivalent to AskReddit, it’s clearly different. On Reddit’s it was limited to open-ended “thought-provoking” questions meant for discussion, whereas here it seems like anything goes. The purpose of this community seems to be much broader, that or it’s just...

Shlomito,

I don't love the idea of a neutral vote, because it would necessitate you voting on each and every post for them to stop showing up on your feed, which is actually how the "hide read posts" seems to work right now, but without the neutral vote.

And fuck it, it may be a hot take here, but I don't dislike the idea of suggested posts showing up on your feed. It's a great way to find new communities you wouldn't have found otherwise, even if Reddit was a bit... heavy-handed in its approach

But yeah other than that your idea for showing the user the actual weights used for their suggestions algorithm does sound interesting, but I'm not sure how plausible it is (assuming many of these algorithms use machine learning and the weights are basically meaningless to humans)

Shlomito,

Ohh interesting. I don't know, although I think that'd be rare because most people use big instances. Although maybe if a big instance goes down someone could reuse their domain name and remake all those accounts?

Shlomito,

New tetromino just dropped

Shlomito,

Can we talk about how bad moderation here is (I'm white btw)

Shlomito,

Is... is that a chess reference??!!

Shlomito,

The good ole refusal gambit

Shlomito,

Maybe you could use use site:lemmy.ml, because they federate with most instances, they're likely to have most of lemmy's content?

Shlomito,

Although it's still missing the button to go to the next top level comment

Shlomito,

I always have a case, but no screen protector, the case extrudes enough from the front to protect the screen most of the time.

I used to have a screen protector, but because it adds extra width it went outside the edge of the case and it broke. And honestly I prefer microscratches over trapped dust particles. The only reason I'd put a screen protector on my phone now would be to replenish the oleophobic coating, and I'd do it, it's just that idk which brand I could trust to actually have a good one included.

What’s with the cynicism towards Lemmy on r/RedditAlternatives and Reddit in general?

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...

Shlomito, (edited )

I think the question is more "how many of these hurdles can be overcome, and how many are a fundamental flaw in how Lemmy was created?". Decentralization is good for many things, but it has many drawbacks.

And well, people want to find a Reddit alternative, but Lemmy is just not there yet. People will obviously get disheartened when they have to jump through a bunch of hoops just to find the community they wanted, only for them to then find it empty with only a few posts from 2 years ago.

And honestly, the stock Reddit app may be a shitshow, but it's certainly way better than the Jerboa alpha. I think most people aren't as affected by the change, and are doing the protest more out of principle than anything else. Obviously the lack of mod tools will affect everybody, but I think that issue is much more nebulous and we don't know how bad it'll actually be yet. All of that makes it way harder for people to commit to the switch.

^and yes, if it wasn't obvious, I'm people^

Shlomito,

I still don't understand the difference between Lemmy and Kbin

Shlomito,

I did, but mostly I just saw that the UI was different, and it had microblogging. So Kbin, practically speaking, is just Mastodon and Lemmy mixed into the same site, but on different tabs? That's all I'm getting. It calls communities 'magazines', but seeing as lemmy communities from other instances are treated as magazines, they're basically the same? Same with the 'tweets'?

infinimitsu, to asklemmy

@asklemmy So, is this how I post to a Lemmy group if I'm only on Mastodon and haven't even made a Lemmy profile?...

Shlomito,

But wait, can we see Mastodon from Lemmy?

Shlomito,

Honestly that's what I might end up doing. I'm staying away for as long as I can for the protest, but I don't intend on leaving forever tbh. But once Lemmy matures enough I might make a full switch. For now most of the content I like from there is simply not here.

Shlomito,

The communities are mostly there, they're just silent. Like 'last post was two years ago' silent. And like, I can't create the huge volume of content I consumed there you know

I saw, I think on the infamous AMA, someone mentioning that on places like Reddit the users are conformed by around 90% lurkers, 9% active commenters, and 1% active posters. I fall on the 9%

Shlomito,

Nah those fucking 1%ers, they're ruining the country! /s

Welp, I guess I now have to buy a cat, and an axolotl, and a ferret, and a drawing pad, and a tumblr account, and a 360hz monitor, and a-

Shlomito,

Well, the ones on Reddit right now are going to be over-represented by people who aren't bothered by it, seeing as the people against it aren't there

I really want to like Lemmy

I really want to like lemmy, but it's difficult. I'm new to all this fediverse thingy, and I might just have old habits and perceptions how things should work but... I keep seeing the same posts more than once, iOS experience is not that good really, sometimes I see dead posts from 2 years ago for some reason, despite having...

Shlomito,

I feel the exact same tbh, and on the middle of my vacation :')

Shlomito,

The easiest way is to go to your instance's search bar and look up "!jerboa", in the case of this community. This should make it show up even if it wasn't added to the instances "index" (I'm also new here idk the terminology all that well), as long as both instances are federated, which they most likely are. But yeah it doesn't work on Jerboa yet. I used that to subscribe to the communities I wanted
