Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn’t translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing....
That’s what I thought, but not keen on it having ads/subscription model. I’d be happy to pay one off but that isn’t available (at least yet). I understand the guy needs to eat, but right now I for me personally there isn’t a value add vs. the FOSS clients.
Die ständig nachschiebenden Posts beim Durchscrollen und tagelang dieselben Posts an der Spitze haben den Spaß hier wirklich extrem getrübt. Das waren auch die zwei absolut größten Nervpunkte für mich persönlich. Beides ist nun mit 0.18.1 behoben und alleine schon durch die wesentlich dynamischere Hot-Sortierung fühlt...
Mich macht es auch glücklich. Ich bin selbst kein Entwickler, kann also nichts dazu beitragen, aber es ist echt beeindruckend wie schnell alle Aspekte (Backend, Apps, Inhalte) hier besser werden.
Yes, yes I know this is an unpopular opinion but let me give you guys an example that relates to this. You guys know email? Well if you had made an email instance and then Google made Gmail, would you guys block it? No. Just because it’s made by a big company does not mean you should block it. What if you wanted to talk to...
I’m going to vote this up for the discussion, but I don’t agree with your perspective.
On the surface you are correct that being able to speak to people who are on Threads would, in theory, be nice. The suspicion is that Meta is going for the EEE strategy. Allowing ourselves to be “embraced” would ultimately be damaging for the platform.
We’ve just started to move from Reddit to Lemmy and have shown we don’t need centralised, corporate-owned channels of communication. I don’t think we should stop this direction of travel when it comes to Threads.
It’s a valid question and I understand your point, but it becomes an issue for me when I end up being caught up the a snowball effect and need to use a bad app too. Here in Europe, WhatsApp is an example of something I’d rather not use, but because it’s the platform everyone else is on, it’s very difficult to avoid. The parallel I see is if Twitter is supplanted not by Mastodon, but by Threads, then that is the place people will gravitate towards and then the privacy friendly version becomes less useful due to lack of users and content.
Of course it is an option to just not use these apps, but the preferably outcome is that I am able to have the nice experience without sacrificing my privacy.
I tried one called Lemmur that I downloaded off F-Droid, however, it can not find this instance (lemmy.world). I want one that’s open-source, and preferably from F-Droid (because screw Google). Which one do you guys use?
I’m also using connect. I find the searching for communities to be terrible and a couple of other issues, but the bread and butter of reading posts, comments, commenting is very comfortable. I’d recommend it too right now.
I know we’re all anxious for Sync for Lemmy. I also know there’s a lot that goes into getting Sync ready as it transitions from Reddit to Lemmy. It isn’t a process many of us are all that familiar with or… well, let’s face it, we wouldn’t have a community waiting impatiently for our app....
I think over the next few months we are going to see quite the pace of changes in lemmy technically, as new features are introduced. I would be careful with saying you’re happy to wait because something stable will be the result. I think it’s going to be a case of racing to keep up and, despite the developers best intentions, it will have bugs too. Hopefully over time it will be less blatantly obvious than now with other clients, but don’t give up on sync when it launches and is not the sync for reddit experience you’re used to! I’m sure he’ll get there in the end :)
Wohl wegen der Datenschutzregeln will Meta Threads nicht in der EU verfügbar machen. Unklar ist, ob die angekündigte Anbindung an Mastodon trotzdem klappt.
To support decentralization and spread, should lemmy.world close registration at some point to prevent a performance overload due to too many users? Of course, if registration is disabled, there could be a hint placed somewhere near that from other instances you can interact with content on lemmy.world just like you had...
Probably not. I understand the concern, but another issue is sending people to smaller instances which may end up disappearing. It’s all run by small groups of volunteers or even by individuals, at least on the bigger servers you have, at least in theory, a lower chance of the instance vanishing (with your account).
I don’t know if there are any plans to cooperate between instances for tech support/funding or if accounts can be transfered one day. Until then - a slow lemmy.world feels like the lesser evil.
Definitely posting more, i feel like on reddit it could too easily get a bit aggressive sometimes whereas, whilst people are disagreeing in comments on lemmy, it is a nicer tone. Less intimidating.
That and the volume of messages (lower) makes it feel less intimidating for me.
I have been using Lemmy for 20 days, at first I opened an account at Lemmy.world because you can join without writing a text and waiting approval. I have been enjoying the experience overall but despite the admin teans best efforts Lemmy.world has been experiencing some serious performance issues. If you want to avoid that join...

Is it just me or did anyone else became a more avid poster since joining lemmy?
On reddit I was a lurker that posted like once or twice a year, but ever since joining lemmy I’ve started posting multiple times a day.
YSK: If you want faster and less buggy User experience, move to a smaller instance that is hosted close to you.
