I believe it would pick all of them back up. I use a different f-droid client (droidify) and can see all my apps in both

What exactly is funkwhale? It looks like a federated music platform of some sort?

What are the actual differences between fish and bash/a POSIX compliant shell?
I saw somewhere that fish supports && now, what works differently or wouldn’t transfer properly from bash?

Grayjay can work that way (optionally) too. Its pretty cool there are now a number of great ways to interact with YouTube that give users more agency! 😊
Invidious is also a thing, though I haven’t used it much

For YouTube on android you can also use grayjay or revanced to set subscriptions as your home page!

Oh neat!

I’ve done this with my pixelfed/Mastodon to post on lemmy for easier image hosting. I still can’t get over how cool it is that you can essentially “post to ‘reddit’ from your ‘twitter’ or ‘instagram’”
the Fediverse is fuckin neat lol
- Comment on Not only is Substack right-wing broligarchy garbage, it's way more expensive than Ghost 1 week ago:
Thank you for the additional context, I’ve heard peoples criticisms of substack but hadn’t heard any of this additional info
Ghost still seems cool though :)

There’s a Foss dating app called alovoa, I think I saw something on the subreddit when I was taking a look at it again a while back about potentially implementing activitypub

Neat!! Thanks for sharing 😊
- Comment on @fediversenews@piefed.social is replacing @fediversenews@venera.social, which will be retired in a month 1 week ago:
If possible it’d probably be ideal to delete all user posts and lock it with a post directing people to the new home, but leave it up for a while so people have a chance to learn where it went :)
Dunno if that’s possible with Friendica, but I’m excited to join the new community, I wasn’t previously aware of it!

Is that a sticker we can get? That looks dope
- Comment on The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC 1 week ago:
If you want to potentially sidestep some of people’s frustrations you might consider just using the credibility rating and focusing on whether a group provides factual reporting, rather than left or right of center
You can also create a user experience that more carefully manages expectations of the feature by having it be opt in, but presenting the option to users when it becomes available. That gives you the opportunity to give a short blurb acknowledging its imperfections and also highlighting its potential value
As someone fairly to the left wing myself, the fact that lemmy is so left wing is both a blessing and a curse. I don’t see Nazis around, but being in an echo chamber isn’t great for your ability to engage with perspectives other than your own, and makes you succeptible to narratives that reinforce your existing views regardless of whether they’re accurate
I’d love this feature, in spite of its flaws, but it does definitely have them. Its based on the US overton window, which will frustrate folks from other parts of the world who may already feel lemmy sometimes forgets the world beyond the US exists. And the US overton window is changing as a product of the trump administration which may warp mbfc results, which could honestly be really dangerous.
Focussing on the factuality and credibility might help you sidestep those problems and make a feature people would find less frustrating, potentially even to the point that you could make it opt out.
Generally I appreciate efforts to build healthier, less echo chambery discourse, thanks for the work you’re doing ❤️

If anyone from lemmings.world could report this I’d appreciate it, I’m not exactly sure who reports go to, so I’m not sure if my report will end up in front of the mod of the instance this account is on

It is, and somehow that escaped me… 😅

I mean there’s the Lemmy mouse mascot guy, but yeah instances are already pretty established

I mean… I used to browse r/all on reddit where there was absolutely no dearth of content. Some folks just like being able to scroll through the bigger global stuff too.
Lots of people did that on reddit. I don’t mean to come across as rude or confrontational, but I do kinda feel you might be assuming things about how people engage with link aggregator sites like reddit or lemmy based on how you like to engage with them. People don’t just browse the “all” feed if there’s not enough in their subscriptions. Sometimes it’s nice to see what people are discussing across the broader social space here
If that’s flooded with inorganic posts, it changes the experience and takes away someone’s ability to do something they wanted to be able to do, and when that happens people generally find it frustrating. Especially if they feel like inorganic content doesn’t belong on Lemmy, which isn’t exactly an uncommon sentiment. I don’t mind inorganic posts personally, but I do think the way you go about it matters.
That’s just my two cents. Like I said, I’m not trying to be overly argumentative, I apologise if it feels like I’m turning things into a debate. I just felt there’s a perspective missing in this discussion and wanted to contribute
I hope you can support sports discussion on Lemmy in a way you and other Lemmy users can enjoy. Hope you have a good one :)
- Comment on Thoughts on bringing sportbots.xyz to Lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
Right, but browsing by all is nice to be able to do 😅 if you’re posting so much all at the same time that it’s flooding “c/all” or whatever, then I’m not surprised people would be unhappy
They had a way of engaging with the platform they were happy with, so if abnormal posting patterns of inorganic kinda ruined that for them, of course they’re gonna be unhappy about it 😅
Its not unreasonable for people to want the option to use c/all and/or their front page at their discretion, that’s why both are there lol. I visit both regularly for different reasons. My feed is mostly small niche communities and then I like to go check out the larger global discussions
I don’t think it’s particularly fair to argue “well if everyone just engages with this platform in one narrow way (in spite of it having other options baked into it) they wouldn’t have this problem”
Like… Sure, but they might not want to engage with it in that one very narrow way 😅 and that’d be entirely valid.
When chatting with the guy who curates a feed of loops to post I suggested maybe slowing down the rate of posts because it was drowning everything out for me, and he kindly obliged.
Curration and spacing things out a little bit might also be a good solution here :)

I always enjoy seeing pug Jesus posts cause he posts little context blurbs for his history memes so I get to learn about stuff, and sometimes I’ve asked him stuff and he’s taught me all about certain parts of history ☺️
His memes come with story time lol.
