  • Why does Lemmy feel ephemeral?

    Jump

  • I don't use Lemmy, what's the issue with search on it? I don't see any obvious issues with the one on your instance at a glance.

  • What's an unpopular UI opinion you have?

    Jump

  • My preference for dark modes is more about design choices than the actual dark/light divide.

    Light modes tend to have way less separation between UI elements, with borders and differences in background colors barely visible. It results in them blending together and making it harder to identify different parts of the website than on dark mode. They're also much more likely to use actual white backgrounds, when dark modes usually use anything other than actual black. I really hate both white and black used as backgrounds, they're both bad imo.

    I do use light modes on websites where it actually looks better than the dark mode design. But sadly those are too rare.

  • So apparently full stops in texts are 'passive agressive' now. What other unwritten rules for texting have changed over the last couple of decades?

    Jump

  • Huh, interesting.

    I'm using Mbin and we don't need it, I just assumed Lemmy was the same.

  • To Lemmy people who came from reddit: Have you guys tried other fedi software like mastodon or sharkey?

    Jump

  • I never used websites like Twitter and Facebook either. Sure I have looked into stuff like Mastodon, Friendica, Misskey, etc. But you're never going to get me to actually use them, they're not the kind of social media I'm interested in.

    When it comes to the threadiverse, I actually use Mbin, not Lemmy. I did try both Lemmy and Piefed, but Mbin fits my tastes as an Old Reddit user best out of the three.

  • Does Lemmy need the double space? This isn't Reddit after all, and it's the only Markdown implementation I've seen with that requirement for line breaks.

  • I didn't. My country focuses more on apprenticeships than higher education, and I wasn't the type to be really ambitious. So I never really explored my options and just went with the flow.

  • when creating a new community, what's the difference between the name, and display name?

    Jump

  • Not using Lemmy myself, but I assume this is about the name in the url vs the name in the UI. Displayname is probably how Lemmy itself displays the community, but name is what's in the URL and in the fediverse handle.

  • Would this be possible with the fediverse?

    Jump

  • What if there were a way to do this with multiple fediverse services? What if you have an article, and the comments are 1 lemmy user, 1 mastodon user, 1 misskey user, 1 friendica user, ect ect ect? Basically start making ANY fediverse service a viable way to leave a comment, which can be replied to by any other fediverse user, regardless of service?

    That's just the base promise of ActivityPub, the basis of the fediverse. It's not a hypothetical, but rather reality.

    That scenario you mentioned, it's not only Lemmy users that could reply there. All the ones you mentioned would have had access to that blog's comment section and been able to leave replies.

    So if you have user@lemmy.world, and you go to his community, you see a thread, you comment.....your comment is now in the comments section of his blog.

    That's just literally the same as me looking at this Lemmy thread from Mbin, leaving a comment, and it appearing on Lemmy.

  • What's your default [Sort type] in Settings for Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I'm not on Lemmy, but I have the "Active" sort set as my default.

  • Fediverse wide cross-instance / cross-platform link substitution [UX improvement thoughts]

    Jump

  • Not sure if you're already aware, but that relative link there is broken in Lemmy, Mbin, and Piefed.

    If you used it manually, I'd suggest not using relative links in posts targeted at users from software that hasn't implemented them yet.

    If it's some automated feature, I don't think it should be in the source property of the federated JSON in the first place.

  • How do you like to sort your Lemmy feed?

  • Once upon a long time ago, some old man gave a monkey an apple and then love happened and they leveled up into humans. May have been 100 or 200 or more years ago I don't do historian.

  • There are others, yeah. But they're not threadiverse. They're quite different types of social media from Lemmy. Since OP is using Lemmy, that's why I'm recommending Mbin, not one of those.

  • Like I said, if you want more integration than what Lemmy offers, do consider switching to Mbin instead. It targets both, the threadiverse and the microblogging side of the fediverse.

  • Trump renames U.S. Institute of Peace after himself

    Jump

  • "Now, the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, which is both beautifully and aptly named after a president who ended eight wars in less than a year, will stand as a powerful reminder of what strong leadership can accomplish for global stability," she said.

    ? What 8 wars does he think the ended? Are there even 8 he got involved in at all?

  • Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?

    Jump

  • All that's needed is the reminder (as visible as possible) that content you are looking at is incomplete and you can find the more complete version on this or that URL or app.

    That's what Mbin does, it displays a banner on federated user profiles explaining that they may be incomplete, with a link to the same profile on the originating instance.

  • Tell us of your experience with NOSTR

    Jump

  • NOSTR is not any more a protocol of the fediverse than ATProto and Matrix's protocol are.

    This is the first time I've seen anyone consider it as being part of the fediverse. Are there even any federated platforms that federate with it? If we can't talk to it, how is it federated with us?

  • Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?

    Jump

  • the same way it makes sense for Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed to only show posts made on a community.

    To be fair, that's not how Mbin works. Its communities also capture microblog posts that weren't originally posted to a community, based on the community's configured hashtags.

  • Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?

    Jump

  • This article's core argument seems to be that Pixelfed is violating the ActivityPub protocol by not displaying posts that do not contain images. That's just not true at all. I'm interested to know where the protocol ever has such a requirement.

    The principle behind a communication protocol is to create trust that messages are transmitted.

    And they have been transmitted. They've been filtered out after transmission, but the protocol did its job.

    If a message is not delivered, the sender should be notified.

    Perhaps. But that's not in the spec. There's no obligation to notify iirc that a post got filtered out on the target instance.

    Even if Pixelfed sent Reject(Note) back for every post without an image, would Mastodon even display that to the user anywhere? Would most users want to see that for every post not containing an image multiplied by every Pixelfed instance it got federated to? I'd personally interpret that as spam.
