I saw a few faces peering in the windows of r/electronics as I drove out of the car park having just locked up to head over here. Glad you found your way over.
How do you all deal with complaining? Usually, I try to fix the problem, if there really is one, or deflect with humor. However, sometimes the complaining comes from all directions—my kid, my wife, my parents, my bosses, customers—and it wears me down. I find that pushing back can sometimes be counterproductive with some...
TL;DR: Reddit is making their tracker-filled mobile app the only way to access Reddit on mobile devices, they are falsely accusing third-party developers of blackmail, and they are on a path to severely lower the quality of content posted on Reddit and increase the amount of spam you see. To stand against these changes,...
I just need to brag that my 3 and a half year old didn't throw a single tantrum this weekend. About 5 months ago he decided he doesn't want to nap anymore(this makes bedtime way easier but I lose my 2 hours of free time in the afternoon), so now he throws tantrums when he's tired but he refuses to nap regardless. So we kept busy...
Don't mind me, just waiting for /m/wholesome to come back online. (Interestingly, you can still view what's in the magazine if you access it from lemmy/beehaw/wherever.)
Simple question: Will you go back to Reddit and other centralized social media platforms, if Reddit step back from the API changes? The benefits of Reddit are obvisiouly, it has million of users and even small communitys have thousands of users....
I’m really enjoying lemmy. I think we’ve got some growing pains in UI/UX and we’re missing some key features (like community migration and actual redundancy). But how are we going to collectively pay for this? I saw an (unverified) post that Reddit received 400M dollars from ads last year. Lemmy isn’t going to be free....
If you're nuking your old reddit content, this might be important. For me, the reddit history visible on the website was far less comprehensive than the API could access.
As a 10+ year redditor, I would sometimes go back through my profile and delete stale or irrelevant content. Deciding to try a faster approach this week, I installed Redact (available at redact dot dev, or on the Google Play store). It lets you bulk delete, or preview things first, which I wanted to do in case there was anything worth preserving.
When scanning posts/comments, it first says it's sorting by new, then hot, then controversial.
The "new" results were the same as I could see on my profile, but then the "hot" and "controversial" scans found page after page of comments that I couldn't see on my u/ page. There were 50 results per page, and I didn't keep an accurate count, but I removed at least 1000 comments, mostly from 2013-2018, via the API.
No idea how many people this could help, so it seemed like a worthwhile first post on kbin.
Took my one kid to a birthday party that was at a McDonald’s Play Place. It was much more organized (in large part thanks to the staff) than anticipated and so far one of the better pre-K parties I’ve been to....
