  • could you give me an example of which community doesn't work?

    you should be able to paste the !communityname@instancename.com into the search, it may take a few seconds even after it says "no results found", because remote searches can take a while

    you can also copy-paste the full URL to the community into the search, like https://programming.dev/c/programmer_humor

  • sorry I totally misread that as defederated lol

  • Nearly half of Steam's users are still using Windows 10, with end of life fast approaching

  • When you make an installer USB stick, it also doubles as a live preview (for most? all? distros).

    So you just boot into it and you can play with it before running the installation.

  • These things don't affect the average user (lurker) much at all. Ideally you just start with whatever instance and only move if you don't like it. A new user can't really know if an instance is bad or not before trying it.

    (As long as the recommendation page doesn't give them an extremist instance)

  • I think all of that would be easy to add to Lemmy, they already have the sorting method for posts (New Comments), the option to sort comments as "Chat", and the option to disable voting. Maybe file a few feature requests on the Lemmy GitHub. It would be interesting to see an instance like this.

  • If that's true then the problem will solve itself when Mbin or PieFed overtakes Lemmy. The content will be there anyways, we just need to see who brings the best UX/UI (or whatever frontend/app)

  • Would I be decreasing people's operating costs if I just opened an account on example.lol so most of my interaction was on my home instance?

    Likely no. If one person on the instance is subscribed to a remote community, everything is synchronized anyways. If no one is subscribed to the remote community then it's probably a very small and low activity community anyways, which means it's a drop in the bucket difference.

  • Whatever the hell the equivalent of a subreddit is called.

    That's communities. Did you have issues with the communities link at the top of the page? You can switch it to the "All" view.

    Also what the other comments said is good too, like for finding a very niche community I'll use https://lemmyverse.net/communities

  • There's no "main" app. Think about Reddit before the API fees. There used to be a default app.

    Which app was this? Reddit's 1st party app? I didn't think it was very popular until they did the API fees, I never used it and I don't know anyone who did. Lemmy's 1st party app is Jerboa.

    If you have ideas for how to fix these issues, you should file issues on Github for how to improve

    https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues (or report the issues to whatever app you're using)

    There’s no recommendations feed.

    Is https://quiblr.com like what you're talking about? https://quiblr.com/understanding_your_private_personalized_feed

  • What's a good way to explain it then?

  • I think federation being (mostly) invisible is actually part of the problem.

    But fediverse platforms go out of their way to hide what they are, and to strip each website of its identity.

    In what way? I don't think Lemmy hides anything, the communities and usernames all have the @instancename.com at the end of them.

  • What can we do?

    File issues on the GitHub for how to improve the UX, and put thumbs up reactions on issues so the devs know which issues to prioritize

    https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues

    Or even better, make pull requests if you're a dev

  • Looks like Lemmy is climbing up to the 2023 exodus days numbers again

  • And my axe!

  • Programming.dev will hide political NSFW/pornographic and bot communities. Hidden communities can still be accessed, but don't show up on All unless you subscribe to them.

  • Hidden communities can still be accessed, but don't show up on All unless you subscribe to them.

    Well, you can't see posts even if you browse into the community directly. You have to subscribe to the community or else you can't see the posts in it, even if you get a direct link to a post it won't show any comments, and the community won't show up in search results even if you search for the community ID/URL directly.

  • [Announcement] A list of hidden communities on programming.dev is now public

    Jump

  • Communities themselves currently do not show up in community search results, this may change in the future; see #2943.

    The linked issue was just closed as not planned. Maybe some comments in there could explain how we all want these features to work? The current solution seems a little suboptimal. Maybe hidden communities in search results should have an icon to show they're hidden.
