As long as I’m not looking at it I’d feel more comfortable with it that being surrounded by mosquitoes. Would you rather be surrounded by mosquitoes than be in the same room as that thing?
- Comment on Niche Communities won't be able to reach their true potential until lemmy adds a sort that takes engagement into account. 2 days ago:
You are overcomplicating the issue by suggesting a “favorite” option when there is already a “subscribe” option. At the very least, consider proposing something distinct that helps users discover more of the small communities they are subscribed to, rather than suggesting something that has already been implemented.

At this point, I’ve come to terms with the fact that Lemmy is mainly a platform for shitposts, while Reddit is for everything else. When I look at the feed, I mostly see memes, us politics, and some tech. Although there were some proposed solutions for this issue, when scaled sort was implemented, @nutomic@lemmy.ml closed all related issues, even if they weren’t solved by scaled sort. So, it’s clear that since there are no longer any open issues about this, no one is going to care about solving it. Therefore, it seems like the only option is to accept this fact and learn to cope with it.
Custom feeds may not be the most efficient solution due to scalability concerns. However, an alternative approach could be to make the metadata about the posts available through an API call. This would enable users to develop their own algorithms for content discovery and potentially create a more personalized experience. Users could then implement these algorithms using tools like Tampermonkey or other userscript managers.

- Comment on I'm so tired of hearing about US police brutality and China being authoritarian. Why does it feel like everyone is a hypocrite here? Where are the posts about Chinese protests and police brutality? 6 months ago:
And am I supposed to take your word or the one from the BBC for it? Why not link something from a less biased source, like from a country that doesn’t host any US military.

The Lemmy community is here not on GitHub, and discussions on GitHub issues without a threaded, tree-like structure suck.

I think I copied pasted that in there from one of the github issues. I didn’t mean to.

I had to toggle between show and hide read posts all the time for the same reason but I don’t think having a read posts section would be any simpler than toggling the setting.

All I know about it is that Mastodon offers this feature and is one that users have requested in a few very popular issues.

Federating communities is a manual process so in smaller instances you don’t see as much content as in larger ones since there aren’t many users subscribing to external communities.
- Comment on What are your complaints about Lemmy? 7 months ago:
The Scaled sort in the All view displays only abandoned communities without any votes. On the Subscribed view, it’s essentially the same as the New sort.

Community name in post URL #875 Make post URLs more meaningful #2097
Include the community name and post title in the URL for better readability and context when sharing links to posts. For example, instead of example.com/post/12345, use a format like example.com/community-name/post-title/12345.

- Moving user profile to a new instance #1985: Provide the ability for users to migrate their account and all associated data (posts, comments, moderation actions, saved posts, etc.) from one Lemmy instance to another. This would allow users to move freely between instances without losing their online identity, history, and credibility built up over time on a previous instance.
It’s crazy when I see this super popular issues closed by the main devs. It makes me feel like they don’t care at all about user feedback.
- Comment on What are your complaints about Lemmy? 7 months ago:
It certainly doesn’t help that Lemmy had and still has absolutely no sensible way to actually surface niche communities to its subscribers. Unlike Reddit, it doesn’t weigh posts by their relative popularity within the community but only by total popularity/popularity within the instance. There’s also zero form of community grouping (like Reddit’s multireddits) - all of which effectively eliminates all niche communities from any sensible main view mode and floods those with shitty memes and even shittier politics only. This pretty much suffocated the initially enthusiastic niche tech communities I had subscribed to. They stood no chance to thrive and their untimely death was inevitable.
There are some very tepid attempts to remedy this in upcoming Lemmy builds, but I fear it’s too little too late.
I fear that Lemmy was simply nowhere near mature enough when it mattered and it has been slowly bleeding users and content ever since. I sincerely hope I’m wrong, though.

Nice! What made you decide to write it? Where can I find out which instances offer that UI?
- Comment on What are your complaints about Lemmy? 7 months ago:
I stopped using Lemmy due to instances blocking each other. I wanted to view content from specific instances, but none of the instances between the most popular ones allowed me to see all the content. I had to create multiple accounts, which made navigating between them cumbersome. This experience was more frustrating for me than any issues I’ve encountered on Reddit. I believe users should have more freedom to choose the content they see without having to create their own instance or manage multiple accounts.

bicarbonate and water painted
That’s what I’ve ended up doing, I’ve covered the spots with the bicarbonate and water paste and will leave it overnight and then I’m going to spray it with vinegar and remove it.
