I haven’t been around Lemmy for a few weeks and today is my first time seeing anyone from the Hexbear instance. I like you people.

Saw a turd like this in the toilet at school in 2nd grade and I’ll never forget it

Agree with everything you said, but there’s nothing Reddit could do to win me back. They’re a corporation and stopped pretending to give a shit about their users. Reversing their decision to go public would catch my eye, but there’s an ice cubes chance in hell of that happening. And even if they did, they’re 1 threat from VC away from pulling similar scummy shit again a year down the line.

The way I see it, fediverse is the only way forward.

🤞🏼

I understand this is a very simple meme, but as someone who grew up learning French I really enjoy that memes like this one - where the punchline is multilingual, are becoming popular

We would have sent these to Ukraine if there were more British volunteers over there.

Thanks Br*tain

Okay I learned a few things, though they may be specific to Memmy.

1. The /c/community@instance works, and opens the links in the app, rather than browser
2. If you have text in front of your link, it doesn’t work. Might be a Memmy issue.
3. I need to test, but I think #2 is responsible for the Null errors I’ve been getting when text is hyperlinked.

Text testing #3 - confirmed, this returns the Null error.

Now without prior text

test - this also didn’t work

test! - using a link beginning with ! Also didn’t work. Hmm.

Those opened in the in app browser on Memmy. Testing here

/c/[email protected]

Thanks for the explainer! Doing some testing cause your example didn’t hyperlink on Memmy

c/[email protected] /c/[email protected] !c/[email protected] [email protected] test text /c/[email protected] /c/[email protected]

Weird. Not sure when your example didn’t link, because it did in my comment ¯\(ツ)/¯

Edit: I’m back on browser. Everything that hyperlinked works properly. It’s a Memmy issue

Do you mind giving a short explainer of proper link formatting? I was struggling with this just a little bit ago

Then limit rewards to posts. And I specifically did not mention a subscription service for that reason.

Yes but to put myself in the shoes of your average social media user - a donation just disappears, although you get the warm fuzzy feeling for doing so. Buying rewards actually gives something (albeit very small) in return so we can show our appreciation towards others who are creating quality content

To expand on the idea:

Ideally this would incentivize devs who are hesitant about the cost of hosting to spin up a server, bringing us more instance options and helping to further decentralize the platform.

Right now fedi relies on donations, and it seems to be working, but at some point the growth could outpace the donations leading to large instances shutting down. Rewards on Reddit are dumb as shit cause they feed an amoral corporation, but on Lemmy they would directly support those who are lending their time, money, and expertise to the growth of the fediverse.

Cringe. Host your own server and run it however you want.

Memmy caps out at 10 (including parent comment) based on the team building comment thread. Is that the case in a browser?

That’s not what the word “practically” means and no one above you suggested such.

I don’t have a coding background but this was very informative. Thanks for sharing

What is the theory around the prevalence of bots? Is it people trying to snatch up desirable names or what?

Hell free time, my old friend.
