I reread books all the time. I have several I go back to regularly from my preteen/teen years. It's like watching a movie from your childhood, lol, nostalgic and comfortable. I always pick up new/forgotten tidbits .
I sort by all and new and have seen a fair amount of posts from bots bringing over content from Reddit. A lot of it doesn’t have much if any engagement on here and as far as I can tell even if there was it wouldn’t cross back and forth between the two platforms....
I blocked the lemmit bot and I haven't seen as much. I think it's silly. If they person who originally posted it on Reddit is now in the fediverse and wants to share their old posts, they can. Otherwise, I'm not a fan.
Granted, the warning says clearly "If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content", which places the onus on the individual user, as apposed to logic built into Lemmy on which posts/comments can be viewed, while also leaving it to each user to have to weed out alternate languages for their views which are...
There is a big difference between mild NSFW and full on porno. Suppose there is a News story with photo/video but it's a little bit graphic or violent. Nobody is jacking off to that. Maybe shouldn't view it at work, but in the library is fine....
🤣🤣 This is most entertained I've been online in a long time, lol. I don't know what you're doing, and I hope you're taking care of yourself, but thank you for all the laughs.
I'm "obsessed" with the sub because of the irony, the lack of certification, and all the stupid decisions that went into it. The cause of the sub's destruction is very interesting to discuss. Every time I learn more about the company and the CEO's decisions, I'm more baffled that anyone went anywhere with them.
The migrant boat situation is super sad and not fun to discuss. I don't come to social media to be depressed.
once again speaking for myself here, except where these sentiments have already been expressed by other admins. this is not a moderator document or anything, and it will not be stickied....
I think you guys have been doing fantastic so far. The only trouble I've had with the fediverse is getting into beehaw. I just get the spinning wheel of death.
Anyone complaining should either help, or shut up.

Both jerboa for Lemmy and the kbin app have made multiple improvements in the past week or so since I joined, so I'm more than happy to be patient and let the devs have the time they need. Especially since I have no idea how to do any of it, and I'm also not paying them for any of it. They know better than us users which bugs to actually prioritize for app functionality, versus which requests are just "I want" features.
If people care that much, they can contribute to the code (?), since it's open source. If they can't contribute then they should stop complaining.
There are different opinions on Beehaw's registration process. I kind of see how some people would find it dissuasive, specially after most of us are coming from Reddit. But I still think it's very practical, at least for the time being....
Yeah, I definitely did feel like it was an "interview" and if I answered wrong I wouldn't get in. I still get the spinning wheel, but I'll check back tomorrow. I've read in a few places now that a lot of accounts have been approved but are essentially in a queue. It should hopefully be caught up soon.
I'm not complaining, but it did feel like an interview to me. But that's just my anxiety talking. I haven't gotten logged in yet, but I've heard there's a backlog of accounts to get through that have been approved. High volume of applications causing issues, I'm guessing. But I don't think the three questions is a bad thing for beehaw to require. If you can't be bothered to put in that little amount of effort, then you probably won't actively contribute, with comments or posts, so what will you bring to the community? Or if people give negative/troll answers, it keeps them out.
I won't go back to mastodon because I opened the app to a huge picture of a wang, and I do NOT want that content, so I have the settings set to block it. It wasn't blurred, or hidden behind a "click to reveal" button. Just wide open, filling my entire screen. And I had to keep seeing it to check if it was tagged nsfw, and to click to report.
I start from the bottom. You can line up the buttons without needing to look in a mirror. I don't understand why anyone would start buttoning from the top. It's just less efficient. Explain your reasoning
So, my button shirts are flannel, but I start in the middle, too. If you get the shoulders on square and stand up straight, the buttons line up automatically. I never have errors when I button this way.
I honestly found myself browsing Facebook more and more over the past several months, rather than Reddit. It just wasn't holding my interest like it used to. I was a Reddit user from summer '07 until June 11th, 2023, but the switch to the fediverse was easy. I've really enjoyed the last few days here.

How do you feel about bots automatically reposting content from Reddit onto Lemmy?

There should be a porn tag separate from the nsfw tag

Can we stop showing NSFW subs on the sidebar?
There's a few NSFW communities who keep getting advertised on the sidebar, showing an inappropriate photo. I don't care to see it.
