  But did he also order 160k meatgrinders to give to their mothers on the next mother’s day?

  Zen looks nice and some of the UX concepts (workspaces, glance, split sidebar from vertical tabs) work well. The ‘fit & finish’ and the way changes are pushed (unilaterally? Unvalidated with endusers?) feels very much like a 1 man hobby project though.

  That’s what happens when you train your model by only feeding it positive cases. If you just count the times a word was involved in a post where a human mod banned/deleted, but not the times it was not… Then again how often were people discussing the game character outside of game related subs? Could simply be some truth to it when loads of people use the ‘to Luigi someone’ form.

  Thanks for that tip. Not looking for per se, but I just don’t want overly restrictive filtering on what is considered NSFW (a bit of skin, gore, medical cases). I’m not going to browse Lemmy on a work device anyway.

  Hi, Thank you for taking the time to directly address my findings. All in all I like what I see here so far! Getting acquainted with all the concepts will probably take some time. Most are familiar, but also worded/implemented slightly different. Then there’s the diverse front-end (Web)Apps which also add different behaviours. I hope me sharing these findings doesn’t come across as complaining; trying to help spot possible improvements / testing if it’s me or the app.

  For the Photon front-end, you should be able to turn on blurring in the user settings for NSFW marked content. It should use the same settings you have in your account for this

  Well, visibility is enabled in my account (API only?) settings, but there’s no blur or hide until clicked option there. Within the app-specific settings of a.lemmy.zip I have enabled the blur option… but no blur is applied. I can replicate the same on desktop (Zen browser).

  This together with the low thumbnail quality compared to the other web-apps you offer, made me switch to t.lemmy.zip So I’m glad there’s choices :-)

  Can’t say I’ve experienced the lagging on scrolling either.

  I think it’s related to that hovering dock for navigation. It’s jittery while scrolling, but the whole screen feels like <30fps during a scroll move.

  Ideally we’d like to hide the communities from the /all feed but still allow people to search for and interact with them if they want.

  I agree. That’s indeed the desired or expected behaviour, but I can live with expanding my subscriptions and using to the ‘subscribed’ listing. I do like browsing ‘all’ from time to time to break out of the bubble so to speak. Also there, blocking individual communities sounds like a one-time investment and something I can live with.
