It's Battlestar Galactica 3.0 -- everyone is a skrull!
The nice thing about series you dont like is you dont have to watch them, im not a super fan but its cool to be able to check out new content pretty regularly, even if some of them are misses. Although I do understand the apathy as thats how I feel about star wars these days.
The ten year anniversary of Dota's public release is coming up (yes, we're working on some fun stuff for it; no, we're definitely not going to hit the July 9th date listed on Steam). As anniversaries go ten years is a big one, and while looking back is important, what's more important is how we appr...
Battlepasses have less stuff in favor for larger feature updates, neat
I disagree. I think there are still enough major improvements to make before the platforms can become big enough that rather than splintering the development efforts it would be a much better idea to focus on core functionality like improving how activitypub is implemented.
It also relies on the infrastructure and federation system to work well. I'm hopefully that it will, but there is still a huge amount of work required to improve user experience and moderation tools.
The links crash Jerboa for me altogether, but it seems like navigating via the search is a bit better then it was at first (or maybe I'm just better at using it), such that it's only a couple extra clicks to find the community linked. Still not a great user experience though.
I use the peak design phone stand wallet. Not great for everything so I still have a backup one, but really convenient for day to day tasks
What do you think are the biggest upgrades (infra or usability) that could be made to the fediverse?
Like many others, I've been using Lemmy since the reddit blackout started. A few things I think would help onboard folks more easily or contribute to long term success of the platform(s) are:
- an actual introduction to federated sites and what it means, including what happens if your home instances get blocked by ones you've subbed to (if this exists drop a link!)
- a better scheme for allowlisting instances. I noticed the one I registered in got removed from beehaw, and as someone who considered starting my own it's not clear if that style of instance management is doomed to fail
- more / better apps! I wonder how similar the api is to reddit and if existing apps could be ported over
Any major pain points or improvements y'all can think of to continue encouraging adoption?
