Wow. I’m kinda impressed that that’s already in the works.
I’m rather pleased with how many developers have gotten involved with the project. Looks like the work might not be finished yet on this feature, but it’s definitely on its way!
After the stability issues with Lemmy were addressed (and they have been, for the most part…) the next thing that needed a revamp was content aggregation. It’s too stale. It’s no wonder they’re pilling on to address it.
IIRC it took quite a while for Reddit to find an algorithm that worked, and it constantly needs tweaking. It will here, as well.
I purged my comments and deleted my main account on July 1st, which was surprisingly emotional for me. I use Alien Blue on mobile, which still works so far, but now that my main account is logged out, I’ll never be able to log another account in because authentication has been broken in Alien Blue for a while.
I’m keeping Alien Blue installed for two reasons: one, for checking on a friend who only posts updates on reddit, and two, I read r/games a couple times a week for headlines and discussion. Lemmy just doesn’t have the same level of engagement or discussion as r/games; even though there’s a certain brand of insufferable commenters there, the majority of people post thoughtful comments that are more than one or two sentences long and those are the kinds of threads I like reading. Lemmy threads seem to be more shallow; lots of replies to the parent, but very few threads that go more than one or two comments deep.
I am using mlem for iOS. I haven’t tried anything else yet though. (Also, mlem is still in testflight beta, but I think it will be on the app store soon)
Had to block some of the meme communities there for this very reason. My feed no matter what was meme after meme. Blocking them has made the all feed much better.
Ah well, fair enough. Then I hope it will turn out to be the right one to be worth having the swamp ass.
I guess there's not really much solid advise for it. Lose some weight if you're obese, make sure to eat healthy and check if you have any sort of conditions, specifically the heart, that could affect your cardio. Of course, do what you can in regards to climate change, but I think Korea is just like that anyway, and our course on that matter is looking pretty grim anyway.
She definitely is, meanwhile we got our first child together so there is no way back :D. I’m trying to convince her to go to Europe with me for the children’s sake, Korea is not very friendly to young people. Let’s see how it goes.
With the weight, I lost a ton of weight just before I came to Korea, but since then got more than half of it back. I need to figure out how to lose it again.
I admit I wasn’t intending to leave Reddit. Sure, I absolutely wasn’t going to install the damn official app, but I browse Reddit way more on desktop that on my phone. But it turns out my time spent on Reddit absolutely tanked without me doing much. Lemmy turned out to be a better replacement for me than I expected, I could find a lot of interesting activity here unlike, say, Mastodon where I had to dig further.
That does not mean I left Reddit entirely lol, but I sure enter way less now.
You should go see the github for lemmy-ui. There is feature request to add the weight of the community into account so we don’t only see the most popular post from the biggest communities. github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues
That’d be great. Currently 90% of my feed is /c/memes and while I do find them entertaining, I also miss a ton of posts from smaller communities related to my hobbies that I would engage with more.
Yeah, I had to leave memes because it was my whole feed. I feel like one of lemmy’s biggest potential selling points would be a scriptable feed. There are some small communities I want to see every post in, and other huge ones that I only want to see maybe the top 5 from.
I haven’t looked at the PR, but if it’s really that simple, that doesn’t seem like the full solution. I don’t particularly want a sub with 10 users popping up on the front page after 3 upvotes just because it got to the top of that sub. Sub weight, as mentioned in the top comment here, should probably be taken in to account.
Doesn’t stop them from showing up via All and Local, which is what I want to do without having the completely block these communities. Just my preference.
Yes, but I figure that’s just the way it will go until the community grows. Give it another couple months of growth and reddit exodus then I imagine we’ll see far more QOL updates to Lemmy and Jerboa.
Lemmy is still missing some things I enjoyed from Reddit, things I can’t just snap my fingers and create here by typing a name into the “create community” page.
I’m not bothered by it. The transition will happen in time. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Etc.
I was talking to a friend about this who never heard of synesthesia, and though I was messing with him. I challenged him to write 50 random words on a piece of paper to which I would add colors. He took the paper, and a month or so later he read each word, to which I was able to flawlessly respond with the corresponding color. He did my chores for that week (we were roommates at that time).
That’s basically the only time it somewhat benifitted me. The rest of the time it’s people asking what color their names are whenever the topic comes up :)
You might need to remove some of those popular communities to extract what you are actually looking for. Because the posts from the popular communities stay on the top of your list. That worked for me.
I had to block one of the meme's communities for now because there were times where one person would post 4 different memes within seconds of each other, they would all get upvoted, and now a 4th of the page are memes
Not that I dislike memes, but it was happening for most of the day. It did convince me to specialize my subscribed list a bit more though.
