The Scaled sort on the Subscribed view, it's essentially the same as the New sort.

Community name in post URL #875

• Moving user profile to a new instance #1985: Provide the ability for users to migrate their account and all associated data (posts, comments, moderation actions, saved posts, etc.) from one Lemmy instance to another. This would allow users to move freely between instances without losing their online identity, history, and credibility built up over time on a previous instance.

It's crazy when I see this super popular issues closed without completion by the main devs. It makes me feel like they don't care at all about user feedback.

It certainly doesn't help that Lemmy had and still has absolutely no sensible way to actually surface niche communities to its subscribers. Unlike Reddit, it doesn't weigh posts by their relative popularity within the community but only by total popularity/popularity within the instance. There's also zero form of community grouping (like Reddit's multireddits) - all of which effectively eliminates all niche communities from any sensible main view mode and floods those with shitty memes and even shittier politics only. This pretty much suffocated the initially enthusiastic niche tech communities I had subscribed to. They stood no chance to thrive and their untimely death was inevitable.

There are some very tepid attempts to remedy this in upcoming Lemmy builds, but I fear it's too little too late.

I fear that Lemmy was simply nowhere near mature enough when it mattered and it has been slowly bleeding users and content ever since. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, though.

Nice! What made you decide to write it? Where can I find out which instances offer that UI?

I stopped using Lemmy due to instances blocking each other. I wanted to view content from specific instances, but none of the instances between the most popular ones allowed me to see all the content. I had to create multiple accounts, which made navigating between them cumbersome. This experience was more frustrating for me than any issues I've encountered on Reddit. I believe users should have more freedom to choose the content they see without having to create their own instance or manage multiple accounts. I was hopeful that this would change with user instance blocking implementation, but I feel validated in my decision after seeing that it hasn't.

Just don't post about it in the fediverse community. Damn hypocrites.

There are probably some variations that use egg but I've always done this one.

To block an entire instance on Lemmy 0.19, you can use the web version to go to your own profile and access the "blocks" tab in Settings, where you can add instances to block them. This feature allows you to block posts from a specific instance from showing up on your feed.

I ended up using Microsoft Edge because it has a good text-to-speech by default in the Windows and Android versions.

I really like being able to edit the post title and the 6 hour top sort. Although I would like 3 or 4 hours even better.

I like the idea of custom feeds that allow adding users, communities, instances or tags. That way you can personalize better what you see. So adding a single instance to the feed would be like looking at the local feed from that instance, but you could make many more kinds of feeds.

That's what I've ended up doing, I've covered the spots with the bicarbonate and water paste and will leave it overnight and then I'm going to spray it with vinegar and remove it.

Google Gemini Powered AlphaCode 2 Technical Report

HumanEval achieved 74.4%, surpassing GPT-4 at 67%. It successfully solves 43% of problems in the latest Codeforces rounds with 10 attempts. The evaluation considered the time penalty, and it still ranks in the 85th percentile or higher. AlphaCode 2 already beats 85% of people in top programming competitions (which are already better than 99% of engineers out there). So, I believe AI already writes better short code than the average programmer, but I don’t think it can debug any code yet. I’d say it will need a platform to test and iteratively rewrite the code, and I don’t see that happening earlier than 3 years.

It only has a shopping list, I'm looking for the features I mentioned above.
