Show users that the community they try to interact with is on a server that defederated the users instance
Not only that, also show users when comments in any community are made by users from an instance that your instance defederated.
Because you(instance A) may very well only be able to see half of the comments in a thread of a community of instance B because half of them were made by users of instance C which instance A defederated.
Right now the comments just don't get copied to your instance at all, which also leads to followup comments not being visible even if they are not from defederated instances.
Instead I'd like everything to be copied and then flagged based on defederations. Just don't show the original content and instead show a hint that a comment can't be seen because of defederation would be enough.
At least that way we know that we're missing something.
Because simply not showing it also leads to confusion why you see less comments than other users on another instance.
And this goes both ways. The user from the other instance(who can still see your comment because his instance didn't defederate yours) should also see that I'm from an instance that defederated his instance directly by looking at my post before commenting, maybe in form of a symbol or a note next to my username, so that he knows it doesn't make any sense to comment on my post.
The biggest issue I have with defederating is that you basically exclude every member of that instance from discussion on other instances even when they keep their nsfw post completely within their own instance.
If I'm on Instance A that defederated Instance B because it's NSFW friendly, then I also can't see comments from members of Instance B in completely unrelated comunities on other Instances.
Wouldn't it then make more sense to implement such a space where you simply don't have the possibility of other instances interacting with your space? I mean it sounds like what they want to have could be much better achieved by a traditional forum instead of the fediverse

Yeah where I live, there's a bus every 2 hours that needs ~30 minutes to get to where I work. If I took that, I'd have to walk an additional 15 minutes to my actual workplace and I'd still be an hour too early.
And after work, I'd have to again walk 15 minutes to the bus stop and wait another 30 minutes for the bus home.
So between leaving my house and coming back home, there'd be ~11.5 hours. When I use my car, that's ~9.5 hours.
Which is why I'll say it again and again, the fediverse might've been the wrong choice for building a community like they want
That’s how I feel with many open world games lately. That’s why I prefer games with less content that have me hooked for 20-40 hours instead of games that „potentially“ have 100+ hours of content
You can also just enter your instance at the top right of that website and every link will directly be rewritten to send you to the communities from your instance
Community groups (Add communities to a group, see posts only from selected group)
That feature can't come soon enough, not only in mobile apps but also on the website itself
I think right now, many of their own users already face inconvenience by not having access to lemmy.world and many other communities anymore without creating a second account there so they could just as well create such a second account on a traditional forum^^
Did that with lemmy, but at least in my case it just happens too often that I get an infinite loading circle when switching threads and then I have to reload the entire page, which isn't possible when not in the real browser. Even closing the web app and reopening them doesn't help but once I open the page in Safari it works just fine.
Mlem for iOS just got an update which gives us the compact thread style I much prefer over the current web app look but it seems like I can't edit comments there and I also don't see any notifications so there's still a lot of work to be done before it becomes an option.
And kbin I just don't use on the phone at all as long as we can't collapse comment chains.
It is, only that on reddit you had the possibility of one r/video and one r/videos but here you have the possibility of 20+ different c/video and 20+ different c/videos so it'll take much longer to form a main community and then you have the chance of an instance suddenly disappearing for whatever reason and then the whole process starts again.
But do they just don’t display them or do they really don’t use them, like could you change the „top“ sorting of any NoDownvotesCommunity just by accessing it from another instance and place downvotes
You said they don’t display the downvotes, I asked if the algorithm that does the sorting still uses them (since they’re federated so the info is technically there and can be seen by other instances) or if it also ignores them.
But the question has now been answered below so it’s all clear
Voyager is all you’ll ever need^^
Well in my understanding you just can't have both. Either you want a safe space where the users are proactively shielded from anything remotely offensive even getting to them (which is how I understand beehaws explanations of what beehaw is supposed to be) or you are open to other communities where you then have to remove offensive posts reactively
They've just blocked two of the largest instances from interacting with them and their users from interacting with those instances. Only one dude from another big instance that isn't blocked yet that posts something inappropriate would be enough to have them block that instance too. So in the end, people who are registered at beehaw will mostly only be able to interact with other beehaw users and need to have an account on a different instance to interact with the other ones.
Which makes beehaw just like a traditional forum, where I would need to have a separate account on beehaw to make sure I'm always able to view their content in case they choose to block my instance because of something someone else from my instance posted.
As you said before, there are no other proactive tools available aside from defederation, that's why I said Lemmy in its current state doesn't look like the right place for such a community to begin with, maybe in the future when other tools get available, who knows.
Most of the sets I own have a hole in them, so I think for the scenario that the average person does actually have a torx set, the chance is pretty high that it's also one that they can use on those "security" torx screws. So I don't see them that much more secure than regular torx. The only reason I could think of is that you also can use a normal screwdriver to unscrew a torx, which is harder to do with that extra pin. But it can still be done^^
I'm using wefwef and I switched back and forth between wefwef, memmy and mlem.
Here are some things I considered:
As you can see, wefwef is present in all of these ^^ jumping to comment is a pretty big one for me, aswell as the inline images
Return to it and have my knowledge of all the positive and negative aspects erased would be something I’d consider. But having used all the technology for so long, I couldn’t imagine just don’t having it anymore tomorrow
Thanks, so I don’t have to wait for the update. For me Memmy is still pretty much useless as long as there are posts where I have to guess where there’s supposed to be which of the images.
Eventually people will be able to go to the search bar, type “technology” and just click the top result which will be by far the most active
Well that wouldn't be true for someone that is on an instance that is defederated from the most active one, and even if that's not the case, I would only see posts in there from people that are not part of instances that are defederated by my instance. So depending on which instance I am, I'll see more or less posts on these comunities.
That's the major problem I see right now and for which I don't see any other solution than everyone creating their own instance for themselfes to be able to see everything.
Wefwef is trying to clone Apollo for Reddit.
Well the first sentence of memmys github description says that it's "an Apollo-inspired iOS and Android client" so I'd say they're doing the same^^
Afaik „magazines“ are just Lemmys „communities“ or reddits „subreddits“
Everything you post in a beehaw community won’t be seen by anyone else. Everything you post in a community of any other instance will be seen by everyone who isn’t on an instance that defederated yours
Do magazines differ from lemmy communities? I have a Kbin account and I'd say they're the same. kbin.social/m/gaming is the same thing as lemmy.world/c/gaming.
So the difference for me would only be the UI, which looks more like reddit than lemmy does right now but that can also change in the future.
What kinda bugs me about Kbin atm are 3 things:
You can't collapse comments (really hard for mobile usage)
You have no infinite scrolling
It's less easy to spot in the feed if a magazine is from a lemmy instance or from kbin(not that it matters really but it's still nice to know)
The general look of the feed is better though with every thread having its own box. I'd also want a bit more separation of different threads on Lemmy aside from those thin and barely visible lines
Has she tried turning it on the other side yet?
That’s technically true and also the reason why a 60FPS locked game can indeed look smoother on a 120Hz display compared to 60Hz. Because 60FPS don’t always hold a steady 16.67ms between each frame so it could happen that on a 60Hz display you’ll see a frame twice and skip another one instead.
Nowadays you ideally have a monitor which supports variable refresh rate so this becomes a non issue because every single frame now gets his own refresh.
I know that, my point is that they don't have the tools to do anything other than defederation right now.
If any users from other instances than those two act in the same way and they happen to be from other big instances, they'd have to defederate those too, because they have no other tools available.
And they knew they won't have other tools availalbe when they created their instance, so they should've created such a platform in a place where they actualy had the tools to run it like they want.
Which would've been a classical forum in my view.
Like they want to have a community where they can proactively prevent people from posting offensive things.
That would be the ideal case for a forum where you have a manual registration proccess like they have now here. Because here their registration process doesn't help when you can just comment from another instance.
I had a Sony Xperia Z3 which had its charging port and sim tray covered by small pieces attached to the case that had rubber on them so you could open it and use the port and then seal it again. It also had a magnetic charging port that didn't need water protection.
But iirc, it was said that the waterproof rating was only true as long as you didn't use these pieces^^
I can think of a design where the battery just sits tight against the top part of the smartphone and you could remove the bottom part with 2 screws (whichs holes aren't open to the inside of the phone) to spring it out like an SD-Card. That bottom part would just need to have rubber on the inside edges
For almost all DLCs apart from the really new ones, you can find keys for 2-3$ per DLC and half of them are unnecessary radio stations anyway. I revisited the game last year and had no DLC puchased ever, I spent about 15€ in total to get all the major DLCs up until then. Only for the DLCs and Content Creator Packs that came out after that I paid 10-15€ each.
Some of them may also be available for <5€ already and the Content Creator Packs could be replaced by free workshop assets if you want to save more money.
It's also worth noting that the game is 8 years old already and still getting new content.
It just looks like an actual app and not like a tab in your browser(no adress bar for example), plus you can access it quickly that way without having to navigate your browser tabs
It's concerning that he's not just acting on his own like a dictator and instead let the members of the instance decide?
Posting would work just as it works now, the difference is how easy you can view the different communities. The idea is that it’s just like if you were for example just subscribed to different tech communities from other instances. Now you can switch your view to subscribed to only see all those tech threads.
The problem is when you are subscribed to more than just those tech communities, you can’t filter your view so that you still only have those tech communities on your page.
Multi-subreddits would do just that. You could group different communities together and view them as you view your subscribed list, only now you can have multiple of those lists with different communities in them
But it does.
Example: You're on lemmy.world. Let's say lemmy.world defederates lemmy.ml today.
Now you won't be able to see any new posts made by users of lemmy.ml, be it on lemmy.ml itself or on any other instance. You will still see everything that was posted up until the defederation though because defederation just means that your instance won't request new copies of the content of lemmy.ml .
And they also can't post stuff on comunities of lemmy.world(I believe they technically could do that, just that nobody could see it, but it may be that by now it's entirely blocked to even make a post there).
Now as long as lemmy.ml doesn't defederate lemmy.world too, their users will still be able to see your comments and may also reply to your comments on other instances, but you won't see that.
So defederation mainly serves two purposes for the users of the instance that defederates another instance:
memmy devs already confirmed on github that they won't add inline pics as we see them on wefwef, mlem or browser. Instead they'll try to add a link that says "show image" at the place where the image is supposed to be. Better than the situation now but still bad imho.
That's btw how wefwef handles pics in comments, mlem also shows the full pic here.
Is that different from the actual app store version? Because there I still don't see it.
btw I had to use wefwef to find your comment because memmy can only bring me to the thread but not to the specific comment^^
This. It almost only applies to desk jobs. Production workers can’t just work a day less and keep the same output, and if they can’t do it, people like me who are responsible for keeping the production running as part of their job(electrician in my case) also can’t work a day less.
If companies wanted to do this, they’d have to hire more workers to give everyone a 4 day week. But all this would do is create more costs for the company
