Do you like a tactile click? Are you a sucker for screws? Or something you can put in any direction? Maybe it's yours or another country's power plugs?...
The ranking on hot probably needs to be slightly negatively weighted against the number of subscribers. Or maybe it should sort each community individually, and then show the top post from each community, then the 2nd from each etc. Etc.
Whenever Iโm thinking about posting a question in Lemmy I always get this feeling that not as many people will see it if I posted it instead on Reddit....
I would post to both: at least on lemmy you can use your phone to create the post and read the replies without having to deal with reddits garbage ux on phones. Then you can just copy paste what you wrote on lemmy to reddit next time you're on desktop/laptop.
Afaik, whenever an Activitypub instance has defederated from another it has always had to do with some combination of bad user behavior, poor moderation, and/or spam. Are the various instance admins who have decided to preemptively block threads.net simply convinced that these traits will be inevitable with it? Is it more of a...
They do not do things that are good for anyone but Meta.
They definitely do things selfishly in a way that maximises benefits to meta and ignore any downsides to anyone else, but while thier impact is probably mostly negative, there's some small positive aspects to some things they do, sometimes...
Iโve heard of this concept multiple times throughout my time on the internet, but I never understood what causes a โserver loadโ. Now that Iโm in one of the biggest instances on Lemmy, this is one of the significant issues that we face. So what is a โserver loadโ, why does it slow down websites instead of stopping...
It's like a queue at the checkout of a grocery store: the server is the grocery store clerk, and the load is the people in the queue.
Some people in the queue only buy one thing and it doesn't cause much wait time for the others in the queue, while others buy a lot and slow the queue down.
Bigger websites are run like bigger grocery stores and have more checkouts to serve more people at a time.
It's the same as with Linux, GIMP, LibreOffice or OnlyOffice. Some people are so used to their routines that they expect everything to work the same and get easily pissed when not.
Only the generators and interactors really matter for the user experience.
I guess if you want to get word out for a product, project or political cause or something it matters, but for everything else it won't really effect things.
It's basically how reddit started out 18 years ago anyway.
It seems tv audio engineers expect everyone to have a high end theater speaker setup: that's the only way to be able to hear it, apart from to use headphones, which is cheaper, but it's not a great solution. You'd think apps like netflix and Disney plus would be able to include a setting like video games that selects a different audio mix, or separate tracks for dialogue and sfx each with thier own volume slider.

Anyone else missing posts in smaller Lemmy communities because they are overshadowed by the popular ones?
I tend to miss posts in smaller communities, no matter what sorting options I use when I display the โSubscribedโ feed on the frontpage....

Lemmy faces the same expectations problems as every free/libre software
It's the same as with Linux, GIMP, LibreOffice or OnlyOffice. Some people are so used to their routines that they expect everything to work the same and get easily pissed when not.
Kbin noob here - Is it the intended experience to take 2 clicks to open an image? (one to open the thread, then another to open the image)
Bonus question: How do you collapse comments? Some threads are busy and hard to navigate without this.
I'm no climate scientist, but it looks to me like we might have skipped over oops.
