  • the Lemmy devs are very much against merged comments

    No? It was said it shouldn't be done in the backend, a frontend or an alternative client can still do PieFed style comment listing.

  • The Threadiverse app with the most standout feature is probably Quiblr and its recommendation system. I can't speak to if it's actually any good, as I don't use it, but it's interesting nontheless.

    Also, I wish more apps has lemmy-ui 'chat' sort for comments. It's surprisingly nice for seeing new comments in a thread you've read before.

  • Reality is really gaining the competitive edge over sci-fi, I'm not sure the genre can keep up.

  • Channel.org open beta

    Jump
  • It is open source, though the section in the FAQ just links to github.com, but I found the actual source code: https://github.com/patchwork-hub/channels. Seems to be a Mastodon fork, which becomes even more apparent when you actually look at a channel: https://channel.org/@feelgoodart

    From what I can gather, this is a way of having an account boost content from certain creators or hashtags with some filters applied on top, honestly pretty cool but I wish they explained it better than 'connecting the open social web'. Like the page explaining it has a terminal case of marketing speak.

  • TBF, Chrome doesn't support it on Linux either.

  • Inaccurate, it should be return 1 and return 0 for the true 20 years at Blizzard quality.

  • They're accepting the changes you're making fine, you can see as such here.

    Assuming my suspicion from the other thread is correct (that you're running this in your house), you need to set up port forwarding between your router and the computer running Yunohost. Specifically ports 80 and 443.

  • Do you have 'Show Post/Comment scores' enabled in your account setting. (Click 'Account' at the bottom, then the cog icon in the top right).

  • Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars.

    I'll even concede that's it's not the worst song I've heard, but I just hate it.

  • They've apparently been involved in Fedora since at least 2007 and the list of packages they maintain includes QT, so sure this isn't some rando. Still, I doubt the backing of a low level contributor to the project will mean this proposal goes anywhere, especially the idea of replacing X11 outright when downstream packages like KDE (ironic) have indicated they won't support it.

  • Do note, literally anyone can submit a change proposal to Fedora. This shouldn't affect your view of the project.

  • https://azsky.app/ tries to use Bluesky's feeds to simulate something like communities. I think it focuses too much on piggybacking off bsky content to be useful though, like forums and microblogs are different paradigms and a different UI isn't going to change that.

  • pds.flamingos-cant.xyz :p

    Sign ups aren't actually open though, but I can generate an invite code.

    Honestly, less than 3K independent PDS is genuinely insane. That's about 14,000 users per PDS provider. For comparison, if Lemmy had that same kind of concentration, there'd be 3-4 instances. PDS providers are also piss easy to host.

  • Yeah, definitely messed something up with the lemmy-ui, here's what their site actually calls:

  • I think this might be a problem with their lemmy-ui deployment. Looking at communities on phtn.app with a chachara.club guest account shows the right thing for local.

  • Now you're just moving the goal posts. You claimed the article was AI generated and assumed it was talking about a separate entity also called Matrix, when neither of those things are true. I also didn't 'just quote something', I quoted the above article.

    But fine:

  • The article shortens venture capital to VC. It also didn't confuse the Matrix Foundation with a VC firm of the same name, it's talking about Element (formerly Riot). Like, the article says this in pretty simple English, I'm genuinely confused how you could've missed it:

    In roughly the beginning, there was two organizations that came out of the project: The Matrix Foundation and New Vector Ltd / Riot / Element. The idea was for New Vector Ltd to carry out the necessary work and bring in the necessary funding for the Matrix Foundation to thrive. Or well, so I've been told.

    They had multiple funding rounds lead by the likes of status.im, Automattic, the AI and Web3 company protocol labs and others; You get the gist, lots of VC and similar funding also a questionable amount of “Web3” and bullshit generation AI. Element was then tasked with using that to build the software that would power Matrix.
