freamon,

From a brief look at their public API, it only seems to users to GET stuff, and not POST stuff yet, so that would limit the possibility of apps.

freamon,

It’s probably whatever my phone charger uses (USB C probably), but that’s mostly because I’m associating the little buzz my phone does when it starts charging with the connection. So yeah, purely fetishistic.

freamon,

Right now there are people who sign up with an instance like lemmy.world, who then create loads of communities, because they don’t fully understand the nature of things and can’t quite believe that the URLs for lots of different IPs are available. For Reddit, if you snagged the likes of r/starwars early on, that gave you some power. For Lemmy, it’s meaningless: if you just want to moderate 100 communities, and not spend time actually building a Community up, then you’ll just be overtaken by the Community at one of the many other instances.

freamon,

It’s not just the same people, (re)posting whatever seems popular at the moment?

I feel like /c/memes has taught us a valuable lesson today: Would it make sense to develop a feature to block a comm from our feed for a selectable unit of time (1 hour, 1 day, etc.)?

Even if we’re subscribed to them? Could a temp block exist in conjunction with a subscription? I love c/memes but holy shit no matter which sort I select by they’ve managed to overwhelm my feed.

freamon,

Everyone became convinced that ‘old memes’ were the new thing (possibly in response to the popularity of Antique Memes Roadshow) and they swamped out everything else on All

freamon,

There was a point (only a few days ago really) when browsing All was a way of discovering new communities, but now, if it’s not memes it’s auto-generated bot content harvesting link from HN or wherever.

freamon,

Block by user: the bot at lemmit online is the main offender.

freamon,

Just start one (a community, that is). There’s not some marauding band of trolls out there, waiting to give you a hard time. If it’s niche enough, it’ll be a highlight just to see someone-who-isn’t-you post something!

Has anyone else been trying to break their reddit-era habit of downvoting?

I used to downvote fairly often on Reddit as a sign to disagree or to push down really disgusting bigoted comments. And to be honest, it became a habit to just downvote without replying. However, now that I’m on lemmy and not Reddit I’ve been actively trying to not instantly downvote things and instead move on or take the...

freamon,

For any weird, bigoted stuff, lots of downvotes and no replies is hopefully the message an OP needs to receive to get the hint that they should by plying their recruitment attempts elsewhere. Engaging them is probably the worst thing to do.

I’ve had to remember that there’s automatic hiding though, and do that manually.

Using Lemmy. How do I add say a porn sub to my list? I’m so confused

I been trying to search and finally found lemmynsfw.com/c/gaybrosgonewild but I can’t add it anywhere. I searched but nothing pops up. And can’t find a place to subscribe. I’m looking to subscribe to it and have it pop up on my feed but I can’t seem to figure out how. It’s rather frustrating and if I can’t find a...

freamon,

Follow the link from the LinkFixerBot so it’ll load that community whilst keeping you logged in on your instance, and you’ll see a big “Subscribe” button.

freamon,

Can you post their response here - the link is saying I need to use their app ('cos it’s NSFW), which is exactly the thing I’m trying to avoid.

freamon,

I’m still transferring stuff between my phone and computer using FTP, like some caveman.
