Just wanted to say thanks for telling me this! Solved my issue and I wouldn’t have thought of it straight away at all.

Glad you said this. People demanding large instances like this one defederate from stuff they don’t personally like are, frankly, very mislead and trying to be little dictators. That’s not their decision to make.

Needlessly aggressive internet arguments and flame wars for no reason

Threads does not really want or care about our tiny userbase. They want the normies and they want to OWN most of the marketshare of this protocol

Building history one update at a time 😎

I think I have 20k

Pls document more details here in case they get deleted/removed from reddit

We should probably call them communities because, well, that’s what they are so we don’t confuse the noobs. Also, I want to emphasize that this definitely isn’t reddit

Is there a roadmap anywhere? I looked at joinlemmy and it’s only showing vague news instead of a clear, concise roadmap. Oh and yeah, blocking instances is critical. Really annoyed with socialist spam.

What are the potential downsides to this? In other words, why isn’t it like this stock?

I installed a backup camera and dashcam for like a hundred bucks a few years ago. Totally worth it and has captured a couple accidents as well as prevented a few more

Unfortunately I do not :( it was on a discussion from an article about Reddit standing firm on API changes iirc

The default can also be set from your profile settings page.

Hey thanks for this! I just set mine to “hot” because that seems to have the most fresh content for me.

Potentially worded a bit abrasively but…kinda yeah. They rely so heavily on fomo, gacha, and other skinner box tricks to keep you playing other than FUN. Just remember what happened to Titanfall 2: "ohhh it was SO FUN it just didn’t have the events and grinding and stuff I wanted >:( "

I think for now it’s so early it doesn’t matter all that much. Just have fun! You can make multiple accounts so why not

Ah, a shame but reasonable. Worth a test :D

I have a small contribution: another kind user I have since forgotten (rip) recommended Jerboa for Lemmy as an Android app to use. It’s much nicer than the web browser experience IMO. I heard there’s also a good option on iOS, so feel free to chime in if you know what that is. I heard on HackerNews that some people plan to make their own Lemmy instances effectively private so they can simply use it as a personal feed and go anywhere they please. Sounds like a great idea, honestly. Imagine an IowaMan instance, for example, and I would simply control it however I want. Not sure what the reqs would be tho.

Thanks for that site suggestion! It’s about the right level I need.

I want to see them try!

Good luck doing that for 8000 subs
