The hot algorithm was actually broken, but lemmy 0.18.0 came out today and instances are starting to update - once your instance updates, install jerboa 0.35 n you’ll notice the difference

to answer the opposite of your question i would say it’s unethical to steal things from indie developers and creators; the same way its more wrong to steal from a local corner store than it is to steal from Walmart

Instance == server == each individual lemmy (Beehaw is its own instance, so is lemmy.ca, etc)

Basically, reddit was a bunch of communities on one server (the reddit servers)

Each lemmy instance has its own collection of communities, and each lemmy is connected together, so users from any individual lemmy can read and interact with communities and users from other lemmys (this is federation)

All of these lemmy instances federating makes up the greater lemmy network as a whole

is this the new most downvoted post on lemmy?

if this makes batteries smaller so be it

let’s go back to 2012 and carry a few of them at a time

mastodon also has this feature built in and i would love to see it come to lemmy

Relay for android gave in to Reddit's demands ... thoughts?

I think this is a bad sign for everyone protesting the changes... a major app giving in makes the rest of the apps look bad for complaining imo https://www.androidpolice.com/popular-android-reddit-app-may-survive-absurd-api-pricing/

I'm pretty sure the .35 crashes were because instances weren't updated to 0.18.0 yet, I haven't had any problems using it on lemmy.ca

newer tlds are cheaper and you can get cooler names

unfortunately matrix sucks revolt isn’t federated and irc is outdated so

i dont think theres anything wrong with sync enjoyers loving their app but i have to agree that the iap money would be better spent on actually keeping instances alive

Apparently they're going to move the system files to their own protected partition in 12, first good Microsoft change?

wefwef might be a webapp but it's very mobile optimized (: feels almost native and it's just like Apollo

Reddit says they're not against replacing mods of blacked out subs. It's so over for them https://www.macrumors.com/2023/06/15/reddit-threatens-to-remove-subreddit-moderators/

sites doing this probably wouldn’t be worth using anyways

what about when your bank adds this? have you tried using a safetynet enforcing app on a rooted android phone? this has bigger implications than you’re seeing

american car dependency and minimum parking requirements, mostly

you used URLs for your subreddit links but fwiw you can make links clickable for users from other servers by linking to (/c/community@serv.er)

we're well on the way there, as long as people decide to stick around instead of going back!

I think multilemmies are what the threadiverse really needs - stops the people whining fragmentation because now all the content is in one place

nevermind AIs, people will dogpile you and just generally be dicks over on that site even over something innocuous, and it's great being somewhere that spectre isn't hanging over your head

Part of me thinks the rapid growth is over and that user retention is the new struggle; but part of me holds out hope that the reddit api finally dying will push over yet another wave of users

the clickbait alone is enough to turn me away from Bing and Edge

cool that people don't mind it but it shouldn't be controversial to dislike Bing for bad UX

"just find another app or website"

okay, we did (​: you can stay there though!

you know what though, i actually think lemmy gold would be a really good thing

you get to put your silly sticker on someone elses comment and the server admin gets a few extra dollars to put towards their monthly costs

https://browse.feddit.de is the best way to find new communities atm

there is bootleg printer ink, and the OEMs hate it so they put chips and sensors to only make printers take “genuine” ink

Every time someone writes these words on a forum the year of the Linux desktop is pushed back another month

i read this as "pass stuff around by putting it in my ass" and just didn't question it for a solid 15 seconds

nope, i tried manipulating votes from apollo once and got a warning

not if you escape it properly

not enough people here? lemmy instances total are close to a million and that isn't even including kbin users

also, what you said about the sign up process is entirely because of the influx of new users right now - of course its not good UX but with the community beehaw wants to foster, they need that application and they're 4 people accepting all of them!

be reasonable and accept that this site is young! it has not had the decade of development that reddit has behind it! things are weird and still broken and that is okay, the community adapts to its quirks

honestly i just switched from jerboa to wefwef.app

really slick UI, if you like apollo you'll love it, and it's a pwa so it works cross platform

There is actually! Going to look for the link and edit when I find it but there’s a simple pc tool that lets you download and upload all your subs and blocks in two clicks

There’s also a python script for it

Misskey has more features than mastodon, and firefish is a tweaked misskey fork with saner defaults, more tweaks and made by a furry
