  • subs are coming back online and not saying ANYTHING about the next steps

    I think it’s a “pick your battle” kind of thing. People don’t want to spend a large amount of timing fighting about a website. The fight is worth different amounts to different people. Those who set their subreddit to private did their part to voice their disagreement. People know that they can’t really control Reddit. Either people will go back to it, or they will move on to something else like Lemmy or the other options. I won’t get mad at those who re-open their subreddits, there is more to Reddit than it killing the 3rd party apps. I’ll stay here at Lemmy and contribute to it so it’s a good option for others, I hope more will join us here, but let’s not hate people for their choice of website or how dedicated they are to online protests.






  • Some issues I’ve seen, mostly related to interactions with mastodon. I generally use Mastodon more so I’ve been playing with it.

    1. I can follow a lemmy community on my mastodon account but all the posters do not show their avatar. (actually i just checked again and my avatar shows up, but others don’t, so perhaps there is a long delay?)

    2. I replied to a lemmy post on mastodon, and it showed up in lemmy, but when I’m logged in to lemmy and I try to post a reply to that it never publishes, the “post” button becomes the spinner and never makes the reply. This post for reference. This is the only one that feels like a bug.

    3. when someone on another lemmy instance makes a post on our community, a mastodon toot goes out, but it links to their post on their community. It makes it a little odd to follow a link and it takes me to another instance than the one hosting the community. Maybe this isn’t a bug, just kinda annoying, kinda fediverse in general it’s tough to bounce between instances. Example. Ok making that link, it’s clear that the “post” originated from the instance. I guess this is just how it works. Message Board systems are a bit more tricky than twitter-style systems.

    4. When I make a post, it’s got a warning Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content. and I have no idea what this is talking about.

    5. I wish the community page would let me sort the rows by Subscribers.
