Varyk, in Is there a word for the feeling of nostalgia for or missing of another lifetime one only lived in a dream?

Anemoia - nostalgia for a life you never lived.

Apparently made up for the experience you’re describing.

Twinklebreeze,

Never mix anemoia with bleach.

Or add water to chlorine.

feebl,

Let me guess, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows? Absolutely wonderfull project.

CouncilOfFriends, in Can anyone here get Gboard to gesture type "Lemmy"?

Just to confirm you’re not crazy, I tried the standard method of adding a word by manually typing ‘lemmy’ and then tapping the same word on the suggestion bar, which didn’t work.

Tested adding other nonsense words like treypses which worked as expected for swyping, but to get Lemmy to work I had to add Lemmy in Gboard’s personal dictionary

Worked for me after about 3 uses.

Mango,

Adding to the various dictionaries didn’t work for me, but this guy’s suggestion did! lemmy.world/comment/6948861

I deleted “Kenny” and now it seems to do it fine if I double boop the M.

bert_macklin_fbi, in Can anyone here get Gboard to gesture type "Lemmy"?

My first try yielded “Kelly” but was about to get “Lemmy” on my second try. I recommend trying to touch the space to the right of the “L”.

Mango,

Lemmy

Holy shit, it worked!! Took 3 tries though.

OhmsLawn, in Which carbonated soft drink is the best?

Late to the party, but chinotto. I don’t have a favorite brand yet but everything I’ve tried, I like. The blend of spice and bitter is fantastic.

bstix, in What salary do you think would make you happy?

I don’t care about the income. It’s the costs are killing me. If I could live without costs, that’d make me happy.

intensely_human,

With income you can nullify those costs.

bstix, in Is there a word for the feeling of nostalgia for or missing of another lifetime one only lived in a dream?

Yes there are several: fauxstalgia or anemoia

Those are fake word invented for the purpose though.

There is also “anticipatory nostalgia”, which is about being nostalgic for potential future losses.

gregorum, (edited )

All words were invented for a purpose. When that happens, they’re referred to as a neologism.

xkforce,

Theres nothing fake about them.

glimse, in Why do you think so many people misuse asklemmy?

We copied over subreddits without copying the spirit. It’s a free-for-all on most of these communities and it sucks

Nostupidquestions is full of questions that belong here

Delphia,

I think a lot of people thought there was some sort of money to be made by staking a claim on community names and then having bots fill them with Reddit reposts.

Also the search functions Ive found to be pretty terrible.

As a moderator who did that and stopped, that’s not the case. What it actually was: we didn’t want to go back to Reddit ever again. So, we desperately tried to lift the quality posts and communities from stubborn holdouts to have that quality come with us.

IMO, it was a failure because people were so anti-bot. But that’s why I was taking part in moving everything over from there. I had no financial motives. I was just hoping to 100% boycott Reddit and was looking to draw their communities away from that utterly enshittified platform.

I failed but I haven’t been back to Reddit.

glimse,

I think it was an overall failure (not blaming you specifically or anything) because it feels forced. The majority of “content” is just reposted memes, there’s no real people to go along with it.

Most Lemmy communities don’t feel like communities. They’re just meme repositories - as if we needed 10 places all hosting the same pictures in a different order

demesisx,
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

Agreed! Almost every single repost my bot made had like ZERO engagement! 😅

lemann,

Wasn’t aware of that comm, thanks for sharing 😁

!nostupidquestions

glimse,

It’s full of reply-baiting vent posts like “why would [company] do [something that favors profit over user experience]?”

I’ve seen only a handful of “good” questions

ani, in Xenophobia is to racism what homophobia is to ... ?

Pretty sure the word you’re seeking is homophism

Lafari,

I couldn’t find any record of this, could you possibly provide some reference?

ani,

I actually think the word should be sexualism www.wordnik.com/words/sexualism

NeoNachtwaechter, in Why do you think so many people misuse asklemmy?

Because too many rules there, obviously.

neidu2, in Why do you think so many people misuse asklemmy?

Because the right sub for their question doesn’t have many people, whereas asklemmy will be read by a wider audience

Apollo2323,

True! But at least we are also getting content on ask Lemmy!

@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

Yeah I like it. It reminds me of how Ask Reddit used to be.

Ever since Ask Reddit removed the body section of posts, just leaving people with the title section to work with, I feel like it’s mostly been generic dull questions where everyone says basically the same thing and doesn’t elaborate.

Prime examples:

Q: Men what is something we can all agree on?

A: We’ve all fantasized about being the hero in some daydream scenario.

and

Q: What is the most basic thing you are terrible at?

A: Holding a conversation.

I’d rather hear about someone’s struggles to install Arch Linux

neidu2,

Q: What cliche is true about you?
A: I use arch, btw

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

Three different Reddit users: This.

neidu2,

Thanks for the gold, kind stranger

Edit: I can’t believe how toxic this place is

hiramfromthechi, in What are some must have Firefox plugins?
@hiramfromthechi@lemmy.world avatar

You really don’t need anything besides uBlock Origin. With that said:

  • Your password manager’s extension would be convenient.
  • LibRedirect is great so that any social links get redirected to privacy-respecting frontends.
  • Dark Reader to save your eyes.

About some other ones that are mentioned:

  • ClearURLs is not necessary if you configure uBlock Origin to remove the tracking parameters.
  • Bypass Paywalls Clean is not necessary if you configure uBlock Origin to replicate this functionality.

Other:

  • Firefox Multi-Account Contains is good for managing accounts.
  • Temporary Containers is also good for isolating tabs.

IIRC, Privacy Badger and Decentraleyes are no longer necessary with uBlock Origin. Neither is HTTPS Everywhere.

Faygo pineapple or cotton candy flavour. Yes, that exists.
