I downloaded the app about an hour before I left that comment. It wasn’t fixed for me, same with the flashbang issue.
I literally downloaded this app an hour ago, and I have this bug, so I guess it still exists
I love the app so far, it’s beautiful and I enjoy the themes a lot. I think my Lemmy usage will skyrocket now that I have this app haha (I’ve been using the mobile web version all this while). One suggestion I have is to maybe reduce the size of the upvote/downvote buttons in the comments because they’re pretty large compared to the text, but this is far from a priority of course. Keep up the good work.
I know that, sadly. Doesn’t stop me from feeling disgusted by it.
This makes me sick honestly. r/place is one of the nicest memories I have of Reddit and now they’re using it as a cheap tactic to bait us to come back. Really a low blow.
But it doesn’t make any sense, no matter how you spin it. In the aftermath of one highly controversial decision, instead of laying low for a while to let the dust settle, they decide to make another one. And this time targeting the group that happens to be the least likely aggravated by the last one (since people paying for Premium likely use the official app) and also the ones that directly bring in income. I can definitely see this ending well.
We’re not earning enough revenue, so what we need to do is remove the ways we currently earn revenue!
Man. What the actual hell is Reddit doing? They’ve been making the most suicidal business decisions this year. Blocking third party apps, they piss off a huge active portion of their user base but sure, you could say they weren’t paying anyway. But now they’re screwing over their PAYING users? I don’t even know what they expect at this point.
Seeing people here pushing back for once against the trigger-happy defederating mindset actually gives me hope in the future of this instance.
Firstly, the alt-right is far from a modern issue. And secondly it’s nothing to do with feeling bad for them. I couldn’t agree less with the nonsense they’re saying there. I’m saying that defederating them doesn’t “prevent the issue in the first place” at all. Isolating communities only makes them get more extreme over time. Refusing to let them interact with us only causes their beliefs to be echoed and amplified in their communities. And I should clarify again, by no means am I saying that they should be allowed to promote their hateful messages here. If they break the rules of our instance, here in our instance, they should be banned, simple.
I agree with this. Isolating communities that have odious beliefs only lead to those beliefs being echoed and intensified in their small spaces, and hence become more extreme over time. It’s not “nipping the issue in the bud” like many people seem to think it is, it’s the complete opposite. Past a certain line we definitely should cut ties, but I guess it’s debatable where that line should be drawn.
Our instance’s rules are for our own instance. If they come over here and start spewing ridiculous nonsense, then sure, we should start banning them. For now they aren’t even causing much trouble. If they do in the future then I’d support defederating, but I disagree with jumping the gun.
No one is forcing anything. You’re allowed to block them, so do just that. If anything, defederating is the more “forcing” course of action.
I agree. I don’t like this whole principle of dictating what members are or are not allowed to see. Defederating should be a last resort. Everyone has a block button.
Holy fucking shit how bad has my sense of humour gotten that I actually cracked up at this. I was a ShitPostCrusaders user when the original pasta dropped but it never caught me off guard like this one. Man my brain’s a mess.
AnarchyChess decided to get a picture of a deranged horsey to the top of r/all before closing indefinitely. It was hilarious.
Yeah that’s why in my initial comment I said “just anonymously but unable to comment or interact”.
What’s with the cynicism towards Lemmy on r/RedditAlternatives and Reddit in general?
For a sub that’s supposed to promote Reddit alternatives, there sure is a lot of pessimism on there. I see so many people dismissing Lemmy and kbin already for being too inaccessible, the UI is clunky, it’s hard to pick up etc and saying these sites will never take off. But why? Of course a platform in its infancy will have hurdles to overcome, and it takes time for devs to implement all the QOL features to make the site more intuitive. And when I see people trying to explain how Lemmy works, people just respond “Too complicated, I’m not reading all that etc.”
Do people expect a fully functional Reddit clone with all the same features to conveniently exist somewhere they can hop to? Do people not realise that Reddit itself was just as confusing when users migrated from Digg all those years ago? Do they not realise sites take time to mature?
RedditAlternatives is the only subreddit I still use because I want to help people make the jump, but it’s kinda disheartening seeing the attitudes there. Anyone has a more optimistic take on this?
Just a heads up for anyone looking for a quick an easy way to find Lemmy communities
I think one of the most confusing parts of Lemmy is searching for new communities, especially because the search function on each instance won’t show communities that no users of that instance have interacted with yet. So I wanted to share this site I discovered a while ago: https://lemmyverse.net/communities
It loads pretty fast and is a surprisingly efficient way to find the largest community for a specific topic across all the different Lemmy instances. Hope this helps some and if anyone has better recommendations feel free to share.
New source of new responses just dropped!
There’s now a chessbeginners community on Lemmy: [email protected]
It’s currently pretty empty and I expect traffic to be slow for now but hey it’s fine. Feel free to post questions there if you’re a beginner, or answer some questions if you see a beginner’s post. Have fun ;)
But we all know no one here actually plays chess.
