I downloaded the app about an hour before I left that comment. It wasn’t fixed for me, same with the flashbang issue.
I literally downloaded this app an hour ago, and I have this bug, so I guess it still exists
I love the app so far, it’s beautiful and I enjoy the themes a lot. I think my Lemmy usage will skyrocket now that I have this app haha (I’ve been using the mobile web version all this while). One suggestion I have is to maybe reduce the size of the upvote/downvote buttons in the comments because they’re pretty large compared to the text, but this is far from a priority of course. Keep up the good work.
I know that, sadly. Doesn’t stop me from feeling disgusted by it.
This makes me sick honestly. r/place is one of the nicest memories I have of Reddit and now they’re using it as a cheap tactic to bait us to come back. Really a low blow.
But it doesn’t make any sense, no matter how you spin it. In the aftermath of one highly controversial decision, instead of laying low for a while to let the dust settle, they decide to make another one. And this time targeting the group that happens to be the least likely aggravated by the last one (since people paying for Premium likely use the official app) and also the ones that directly bring in income. I can definitely see this ending well.
We’re not earning enough revenue, so what we need to do is remove the ways we currently earn revenue!
Man. What the actual hell is Reddit doing? They’ve been making the most suicidal business decisions this year. Blocking third party apps, they piss off a huge active portion of their user base but sure, you could say they weren’t paying anyway. But now they’re screwing over their PAYING users? I don’t even know what they expect at this point.
Seeing people here pushing back for once against the trigger-happy defederating mindset actually gives me hope in the future of this instance.
I agree with this. Isolating communities that have odious beliefs only lead to those beliefs being echoed and intensified in their small spaces, and hence become more extreme over time. It’s not “nipping the issue in the bud” like many people seem to think it is, it’s the complete opposite. Past a certain line we definitely should cut ties, but I guess it’s debatable where that line should be drawn.
I agree. I don’t like this whole principle of dictating what members are or are not allowed to see. Defederating should be a last resort. Everyone has a block button.
Holy fucking shit how bad has my sense of humour gotten that I actually cracked up at this. I was a ShitPostCrusaders user when the original pasta dropped but it never caught me off guard like this one. Man my brain’s a mess.
Yeah that’s why in my initial comment I said “just anonymously but unable to comment or interact”.
What I mean by search engine is literally just Google, I don’t mean my sh.it search function. If you’re not accessing Beehaw through one of the defederated instances then it won’t know you’re from a defederated instance, no?
Yeah, I’m not too concerned with the users who go “Looks interesting but a little too confusing for me right now so I’ll pass.” What bothers me is the ones who outright spread “Lol these alternatives are shit, Lemmy will never take off, too counterintuitive, this site has no future!!!!”. Like chill guys, it takes time. Not your thing yet? Fine. But why be so quick to outright dismiss it?
For a sub that’s supposed to promote Reddit alternatives, there sure is a lot of pessimism on there. I see so many people dismissing Lemmy and kbin already for being too inaccessible, the UI is clunky, it’s hard to pick up etc and saying these sites will never take off. But why? Of course a platform in its infancy will have hurdles to overcome, and it takes time for devs to implement all the QOL features to make the site more intuitive. And when I see people trying to explain how Lemmy works, people just respond “Too complicated, I’m not reading all that etc.”
Do people expect a fully functional Reddit clone with all the same features to conveniently exist somewhere they can hop to? Do people not realise that Reddit itself was just as confusing when users migrated from Digg all those years ago? Do they not realise sites take time to mature?
RedditAlternatives is the only subreddit I still use because I want to help people make the jump, but it’s kinda disheartening seeing the attitudes there. Anyone has a more optimistic take on this?
I think one of the most confusing parts of Lemmy is searching for new communities, especially because the search function on each instance won’t show communities that no users of that instance have interacted with yet. So I wanted to share this site I discovered a while ago: https://lemmyverse.net/communities
It loads pretty fast and is a surprisingly efficient way to find the largest community for a specific topic across all the different Lemmy instances. Hope this helps some and if anyone has better recommendations feel free to share.
There’s now a chessbeginners community on Lemmy: !chessbeginners@sh.itjust.works
It’s currently pretty empty and I expect traffic to be slow for now but hey it’s fine. Feel free to post questions there if you’re a beginner, or answer some questions if you see a beginner’s post. Have fun ;)
But we all know no one here actually plays chess.
