  • I think the join-lemmy.org link was fine, it seemed to get deleted when you edited in links to specific lemmy instances?

  • A Reddit post promoting the Fediverse that actually gained traction (and Reddit deleted the top comment for promoting Lemmy)

  • omg the top comment just got deleted with over 500 upvotes

    I think it was when it was edited to include specific links to Lemmy instances, instead of the join-lemmy.org website

    I still see the comment on Spaduf's profile, but it shows as deleted in the post

    I think maybe the link to lemmy.world is what triggered their filter? because that was edited in

  • On another note, don’t you think it’s a little weird that someone from world is saying to not follow small instances?

    Where is that comment? I didn't see it. Maybe they're thinking back when it was really hard to get new communities federated, but it's not so bad these days, and even the medium sizes instances already have tons of communities already federated.

    anyways I think we should've give people too much trouble as long as they're joining the Fediverse lol, they can move instances as they get a feel for it

  • also what's the best alternative for Mastodon? a lot of people there already tried Mastodon and didn't like it due to UX/UI issues

    I would be good to list Mastodon as well as an alternative, and also listing Mbin might be good too? but then maybe you're putting too many choices lol

  • yea it should just be a matter of searching your username, but you need to be logged in to search remote instances (they don't want anonymous requests spamming the network)

    what's your Pixelfed username? I can pull it up if you want

  • the bridge is pretty nice, I would recommend everyone on compatible platforms to use it (Bluesky, and probably any AP microblogging platform, but I've only tried it with Mastodon)

  • oh you let it autocomplete, check the source of your post

    at least on Lemmy, it works better if you don't let it autocomplete... kinda silly, but there's a bug report for that on the Lemmy side, idk about Mbin

  • because you used /m/ instead of /c/, but really the format !communityname@instancename.com should be used instead of trying to manually make URLs

  • Algorithmic post ordering

    Jump

  • If you’d rather not block the whole community

    Other options are changing your sorting method. Like if they're currently dominating the Hot feed, they're probably not also dominating the Top 12hr feed, just switch to that.

  • Yep. But it could be seen as an advantage your app has that others don't, and different apps can try different approaches

  • I think even just a frontend (web UI or mobile app) could fix this pretty easily

    when it loads a page with many posts from the same community, it only shows 1 or 2 and puts the rest in a queue to show on later pages

  • Isn't that what you want for a Facebook replacement though?

    I guess being able to browse public profiles and posts would be good, but if it's like Facebook then wouldn't most people be using their real names and posting about semi-personal IRL stuff?

    You'd want that stuff to only show for your friends, and maybe friends of friends

  • Am I crazy in thinking that bash is good enough for production?

    Jump

  • I just don't think bash is good for maintaining the code, debugging, growing the code over time, adding automated tests, or exception handling

  • I've been working in Ruby on Rails lately (unfortunately) and yeah it's extremely bad at this. There's so much hidden implicit behavior everywhere.

  • Can Lemmy treat a crosspost like a boost? (merge threads?)

    Jump

  • It's been declined https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4225

    Imagine the same news article is posted in /c/cars and /c/fuckcars. It is not desired nor expected to have all comments combined.

    Making it a checkbox is an interesting idea though, but could still be confusing reading the comments with the different contexts.
