- Comment on we need more users 6 days ago:
I’m feeling very burnt out. Lemmy is kinda an unless stream of political doom and gloom. For context, I’m in the US and already stressed out by our political situation. But I don’t come here to see more doom and gloom. It’s getting to the point where I think I need to get off for my mental health.
Then there are all the people who if you don’t agree exactly with their opinion they downvote you to hell. You have left leaning politics but not my flavor of left? Downvote! You hate enshitification and bug text privacy practices, but you use a single piece of software that isn’t FOSS? Downvote!
It’s so exacting. I absolutely hate Reddit but I miss going on there and just laughing at how someone’s TV is too high. I miss laughing at how some restaurant serves food of shovels instead of plates.
And that’s not even getting into the lack of content. That part understand requires users like myself to be as active as possible. But it’s hard being active when I feel so burnt out from the other stuff here.
Tbh, idk if these issues are specific to Lemmy or just the internet as a whole. I can only speed to the slice of the internet I find myself in. But I just wanna see people that are excited about things: photography, 3d printing, weird keyboards, etc. And that exists here, but it’s drowned out by all the doom and gloom.

Do you use Matrix? I have a group chat with a couple of the other frontend devs if you wanna join the discussion there.
We setup this GitHub to write the spec, but I haven’t made much progress yet. I’m trying to close out a few other features (e.g. post/comment moderation, PieFed feeds, PieFed polls, PieFed events, etc). But I think I’m pretty close to this filter engine being my top priority.

I’ve been kicking around this idea for awhile where Blorp has a filter engine. You can define and combine a bunch of rules like post body contains text and community name does not contain. The rules are bundled into a “file” and given a name. E.g. no US politics is a file you can subscribe to. The file can be auto updated if you choose to subscribe to updates. Blorp would come with a bunch of predefined filter files, but you can create and share your own.
I really think this would be a killer feature, but there is a little complexity in implementing it. I also want to collaborate with Interstellar devs so you can use the same filter files in either app. Anyway, I’ve been procrastinating building this about will take me a couple months.
But what do you think?

Is there a specific instance that’s missing that you want to use? You can input a custom instance durning login in the search input.
I’m not sure I understand the keyword filters without fully blocking part.

Probably Microsoft: copilot, rewrite the taskbar

If you use an 3rd party native iOS or Android app, leave them a nice review! Also star any related projects on GitHub or codeberg.

Blorp dev here. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to make your PieFed experience even better! I’m launching support for PieFeds multi communities feeds very soon. Stay tuned.

Don’t newer washers auto detect the load size? And if so, wouldn’t larger load mean more weight, and therefore more energy used?

I know modern tools get a lot of hate on Lemmy, but tainwind and shadcn have been amazing to work with. Next.js has been a little bumpy the last few years, but if you know what you’re doing, you can deliver a great UX with React. I’ve been enjoying Vite + React for anything that doesn’t need SSR.

How tf do you shop around for insurance.
My employer: you have 3 options. The high deductible HSA plan, the medium deductible plan, or the low deductible plan.
Even if there are other options that aren’t subsidized by my employer, you can’t change your plan most of the year because of fucking open enrollment.
How is this user error and not America being America?

I disagree. I like that I can set my temperature to an exact number and the car will automatically adjust to that temp. We should have stopped there. That’s was the holy grail of temperature control.

I told my dad I want cassette tapes to come back. He laughed and said how he remembered how crystal clear CDs were when he listened to them for the first time. What can I say dad, I like a little wow/flutter in my music.
