I have been on the edge with twitter and reddit for a while and I have finally deleted my accounts that I have had for a very long time there. They are no longer the places I used to know, even more so with twitter. I am ready for my new time here and on mastodon....
I always have it open on my Android phone, and I actually even installed it as a PWA on my Windows 11 PC. I can snap it to the side and pull up my Lemmy feed anytime and get the same experience on phone and PC. I really appreciate your clearly highly skilled efforts and your admirable work ethic @aeharding ....
I started fasting because I’m super fat. Look, proof! Learning alot about how to get healthy and I thought I’d share my experience here. I’d love other peeps to share their experience, knowledge, and general good vibes … looking forward to meeting you all!
Welcome to the fed guys. Out of interest, how do you guys consume content? This big app war made gave awareness of how bad reddit was for you guys, so i’m just interested in learning.
Are you able to have text posts be read out to you and such? Glad you have the tools here to enjoy the content! Welcome.
& I’m doing pretty good! The wefwef app has done a great job of recreating the Apollo experience and has made it a lot easier to not want to go and download the Reddit app. The more active it gets here, the easier it’ll be. How are you guys doing so far? Have you found an App for Lemmy that you prefer the most yet?
Same here, if anything this whole thing has done me a favour. Many times the past year i’ve considered giving up reddit. I tend to scroll reddit when I play with the dog after walkies, and the amount of time my brain says ‘why you do this shit?’ as I scroll past nothing, looking at comment chains of constant bickering. Why am I scrolling pasts hundreds of pointless comments, meandering bad takes, puns, the time wasted…for what gain? It was kinda an addiction I guess.
The first day has been great tbh, Memmy feels good despite the instance’ slowness. The Hot filter is pretty good for catching newISH posts, or light comment posts which i’ve been tagging onto.
It really feels like old school forum days, and it’s been really awesome to have my inbox popping off with replies. What’s the point of lots of comments like a big reddit thread when no one replies or even sees your comment? Really looking back, it was just pissing in the wind.
Or if you did get a reply over on pigboycity, it would be some massive drangus trying to start a fight. Just ugh. I deleted my posts and account yesterday, now reddits just gonna be my suffix for google searches when I need something (until the fed starts getting indexed over the coming months/years).
I also really like the look here. old.reddit to me always looked shit from a UI standpoint (Despite being massively better than New, of course). lemmy.world just looks concise without being overwhelming. I’m excited to see growth and engage with real people again just like the old days.
I was a somewhat massive lurker on reddit, I didn’t bother engaging much because I knew 60% of the time the reply would be snippy, even if my post wouldn’t be remotely combative. So over the years I just stopped bothering mostly.
My inbox has kicked off more here in the last week than probably the last 365 days on reddit. It’s really wholesome, for lack of a better term.
All it takes if you commenting, to fire off more comments just like now. It’s good shit!
Idk how to explain it and I imagine it’s been said plenty of times by now but it’s just, way easier to engage with posts here, usually on Reddit I’d just ignore the whole commenting aspect and just scroll through media....
I would love to know also, gonna stick with hot. I’ve seen a good chunk of random communities like Reddit. I mean….we have a flashlight community here. Awesome to see 🔦
Lemmy 0.18 broke direct connection to the Lemmy API from web clients with a very strange merge request two weeks ago. I have no idea what the motive was for this to be merged. Suffice it to say, it’s been the source of a ton of headache today. github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3191...
I really enjoy it for what it is, but I feel like they need to refine the overall experience.
People can jump through windows and spray you, yet the ttk is super low, slow reloads and gunplay is a mixed bag when it comes to mechanics (single fire over auto, bipods don’t help at al).
I’ll give it a massive benefit of the doubt due to pricing and oh, yeah…it’s made with love by three people.
The party system is amazing and allows my friends and I to be dragged into a game in mere seconds. Worth it alone for that tbh.
Your user profile on reddit may not show any comments anymore but that doesn't mean they're all gone. If you want to purge your content, use the search engine of your preference to look for your username. I just spent four hours manually deleting a bunch of stuff that didn't show up on my profile and that any automated solutions...
On PC at least, go to your account settings and you can toggle ‘Show read posts’. Untick this, and anything upvoted or looked at (looked at the comments, aka opened up) Will go away upon refresh.
This behaviour will carry over to the apps on refresh. It’s quite aggressive though, so if you comment on something and want to check back on the activity you better bookmark it. But if you’re like me , you only mostly care about replies to your comment :P
Yeah I’m a chronic post hider, so I neeeeeed it lol. Thankfully looking at images (by expanding them) also counts so it cuts down on upvoting/looking at comments. It’ll get there soon enough.
It’s real good man. D2 I found had a great loot feeling, but the general signposting of where to go was shit. But this was mostly because they didn’t update D2 in the remastered version much because I guess they knew people would be pissed if they updated it too much.
D4 was initially epic with the bois, but the slow grind and analysis paralysis of loot was annoying in the end. So much garbage loot with no filters and way too many affixes on weapons, you sit there for ages wondering if that bit of loot is better…or worse?? Or maybe good for that thing, but not the other. Urgh, and the legendary aspect thing was annoying to manage (shit, I found a weapon, but uh oh, I don’t have an aspect in reserve to apply to this cool new weapon, so my build will be fucked??? yay!)
PoE has that D2 loot feeling, power growth and SPEED that D4 simply can’t have due to level scaling. Honestly, why is a group of minions giving me a hard time in D4 when in PoE I can blast a screen worth of little shits in one go? Super fun.
I don’t mind being a shit character when i’m level 10, NOT 70. It was a pain post campaign in D4, I should be a god not some weak maggot after I saved Sanctuary lol.
Give it a shot, it’s free :) I think it’s due an update in August [new league].

Greetings everyone....
wefwef has become my favorite app already! (lemmy.world)

D4 made me a fan of the ARPG genre, but POE is incredible.
I’m still getting to grips with what’s a community to my main instance (lemmy.world). I think this is on L.W?!...

They finally did it: Reddit made it impossible for blind Redditors to moderate their own sub (www.reddit.com)
Not really a shitpost but I’m really enjoying lemmy

Please upgrade to 0.9.1 as a workaround to connection issues to lemmy.world.
