How did Lemmy.world become more popular than Lemmy.ml?
  • I saw this image the other day and thought I'd save it for confused reddit refugees hehe

  • Basic Guide (and infographic) on how Lemmy works
  • This is amazing, sending this to my less tech savvy friends!

  • Lemmy app (or in development stage) that has slideshow mode?

    Hi Frens,

    Just like most people I've been playing around with different apps for Lemmy. However, a function I haven't seen around yet, is a slideshow mode.

    BaconReader, an app for The Website That Shall Not Be Named, had the ability to open a post and start swiping left / right to scroll through your frontpage. Scrolling down is where the comments and voting arrows were. This was the only way for me to use my phone on bad hand function days / disability flare up days because it only required one hand motion (swiping) instead of opening, scrolling, clicking, going back, scroll, clock again, repeat.

    Is there any dev out there who would be willing to implement such feature? Or did I somehow miss am already existing android app that has this functionality?

    Don't say "autistic people"
  • I'm also Dutch and feel the exact same way. I prefer "ik ben autistisch" or "ik heb autisme". In English I prefer identity first bevause the other option feels the same as "you don't have a disability, you're differently abled!".

    I once told someone "ik ben autistisch" and he (NT) corrected me by saying "nee je zit op het spectrum" AHHHH

  • When Baconreader shuts down today and I lose the only app I've accessed Reddit from
  • I just need the slideshow mode from BR as an accessibility feature bevause of limited hand function at times ugh

  • What's your techniques you use to study alone?
  • I've heard a lot of people benefit from "body doubling": a YouTube video where another person is also doing the thing you need to do. Like studying or cleaning.

    Should pop up if you search for "body doubling study" or something.

  • Question: would you guys rather I release a very beta version in time for the end of the month, or wait for something more solid?
  • I think it would be useful to you to release a very early beta for 2 reasons:

    • apps are popping up left and right, I think some users may pick one and stay on that app after having tested all that are out
    • you can get early feedback on what people would like to see but also bugs and glitches they may encounter on different devices / instances
  • Do you think a Fold style phone with an eInk display on the outside would work well?
  • I think this would be too niche and also too expensive (I believe e-ink is expensive?) but I would also love this!

    As soon as I put my ereader down for a quick look at my phone I'm on another device so I kinda forget to pick up my Ereader again. So yeah I'd love to see that.

  • Have any of y'all noticed you're generally in a better mood after moving to the fediverse?
  • The users seem less hostile here overall and I feel like I wanna engage again by either posting or commenting because it doesn't seem to get lost. The other website might have become too big, it was either going "viral" or being ignored, no middle ground.

  • What games did you enjoy so much that you still think about them?
  • Spiritfarer. I needed a good distraction after my dad passed away, but I put it off for a year because I was afraid my grief would still be too raw at the time.

    Then the grief grabbed me by the throat when playing the game where you need to help a frog pass over after death because he couldn't let go of his wife and daughter for whom he DIY's a lot. It was as if my very own father was imported in the game. I've never sobbed this much in my life over a videogame and it truly helped me process things so much better. So many valuable lessons to be learned from that game.

    Edit: I ended up breaking the game by putting off the final quests of the frog character which is ironic because I needed to let him go, but couldn't.

  • Which communities you feel lemmy is lacking?
  • I've found it, thank you! Let's hope it gets just as active and the spooky vibe going

  • Is anyone else enjoying the slower pace of content?
  • Honestly: no.

    But I must say that I wasnt enjoying reddit in the way I used to anymore. I used to scroll reddit in bed to wind down, mostly text posts (meaningful conversations) or cute animal pictures. Last few years it turned into doomscrolling with way too much video content like tiktok/reels/shorts. So I enjoy the text and image focus on Lemmy which also seems more civil (for now?).

  • Which communities you feel lemmy is lacking?
  • What's the nosleep one? I miss NoSleep

  • What's your favorite alternate launcher?
  • I've been using nova launcher prime since forever. Make a backup on my old phone when getting a new one, and import it on the new phone.

  • What makes Lemmy feel like home
  • It feels like the good ol' poop knife days

  • What do we call Lemmy users?
  • I only know the videogame lemmings (vague memory) and I love how they used umbrella's when falling down. So I love lemmings, even more now I saw that picture. Go lemmings!

  • It is all coming together
  • I'm here for lemmings (is that what we call lemmy users?) connecting like this.
