There is already a subscribed tab, and I use it most of the time when I want to catch up on selected topics. I use the local or all feed when I want to browse a wider view of what’s going on in general. Right now the total amount of Lemmy traffic is small enough that browsing that way is tolerable, which it wouldn’t be e.g. on reddit.
I do think that the Lemmy software design is more meme-oriented than I’d prefer, because of stuff like the thumbnail pic with every post in the main feeds. The more interesting parts of reddit to me were text-only and we don’t have that here.
I’d like the feed to be adjusted so that if there are a bunch of posts from the same community not too far apart from each other chronologically, to group them all together. Alternatively, a way to block communities showing in your front page view without blocking them completely. It’s not just memes, there are a bunch of other topics that also clutter up the front page constantly. Even things like news reports in Dutch, which are perfectly legit except I can’t read them, would be less annoying with this type of feature.
Wait you mean you don’t cook the oats? Oats (the old fashioned 30 minute kind) cook nicely for me in 4 minutes in an instant pot, but no cooking sounds even better.
Well what phone is it? There are tons of music playing programs on f-droid. Why not just run one? I’ve been using Vanilla Music. I don’t like it that much, but don’t feel like derping around trying more and more of them. Vanilla is better than some others that I tried.
If you can manage programmers, then yes. Everyone says that’s just like herding cats.
I don’t care much about any of these technical intricacies regarding word matching. I want Lemmy to be a human institution, which means no bots editing people’s posts beyond possible spam control. If there is a serious trolling problem featuring specific keywords in a community, I’m fine with a moderator manually kicking off some automatic action to remove a bunch of posts at the same time. But we don’t need robot nannies surveilling and messing with all of our posts.
Here’s another example, not from here. Before celullar phones, before television, before broadcast radio and even before the telephone, there was the telegraph. Communications with it were done in Morse code, by operators tapping away on telegraph keys. Telegraph keys were typically made of brass, and people who used them all day were called “brass pounders”. That profession is long since obsolete, but there are still ham radio enthusiasts who use Morse code as a hobby, and there is a group of them called the BPL, for “Brass Pounder’s League”. There are also people who simply try to honor the history of the venerable telegraph even though they recognize it as being a relic from the bygone era.
Anyway, where am I going. Someone started a pretty good site about telegraphy and telegraph keys, called “brasspounder.net” which was a really cool name. Unfortunately Google’s algorithm seems to have classified that name as that of a porn site, because it saw the word you get if you ignore the “br” at the beginning, leaving “ass pounder”. Whoops. The site ended up changing its name to telegraphy.net, which is fine but less evocative in my opinion. Oh well.
The above is an example of the so-called Scunthorpe problem. Let’s see if Lemmy has that too.
This is the support community and I’m requesting that the software be fixed.
Large ones can be a pain and I’ve generally converted those to other formats even it’s at some cost in disk space.
Propeller beanies as formal and business attire.
I do, see https://www.covidisairborne.org/ for tons of info on why we all should.
I only read a few paragraphs so you are more persistent than me. I wonder if it is AI generated.
Lemmy is more picture oriented, like Instagram sort of. Reddit at least I’d you used old and shut off custom css, was more textual. -1 for Lemmy there I’m afraid.
There’s tons of memes and stuff, but I was never into that, so meh. My thing was specialized nerd groups and they are mostly not here yet. With time, maybe they will come.
Usenet still exists, but needs revitalization. It might as well be us.
In America we use BBQ English.
Find some interesting blogs and subscribe to those. The ones that don’t try to churn out content every day are the best. They only post when they have something interesting.
I used proxmox and have played a little with nix and guix, but simplest is just use debian, put /home on a separate logical partition from the system partition so you can reinstall the system without clobbering user files, and as people keep saying, backup early and often.
