Friendly reminder that lemmy is still being actively developed. There will be many performance improvements in the future, as well as UI and whatnot. Stick around, create content and engage with your communities.

Oh wow. That is just vile from them.

I would love to see some specific examples of the so called "trolls" from lemmy.world that trolled them. But defederating an entire instance, nearly 20k users, due to the actions of very few users just seems extreme.

join-lemmy.org should probably add the info that beehaw is very strict in their decentralization/federation, so much so that they are becoming just another walled garden.

This is not to say that I agree with low-effort content, trolls or alt-right people. They should be blocked and even possibly banned. But this should be done on an individual basis. They categorizing an entire instance as "unworthy". We have names for these kind of generalizations.

So it seems like lemmy is still improving in content, even though the reddit situation has stabilised. That is awesome to see!

I am eagerly waiting for usernames and for something to happen that makes people go to signal. The few people I had there ditched it when it lost sms support.

There is lemmyverse.net

I think signal is really only missing usernames (which should come soon) as far as features are concerned. And sadly, I don't think it will change much. I think signals problem is not really feature wise but adoption wise.

Signal needs more marketing. It needs a bigger user base. And I honestly don't know how to change that. Maybe some really top notch marketing strategy, with beautiful diagrams and text of some made up scenarios explaining the perils of using Instagram and whatsapp..

I don't have an answer to you but if you like this sort of discussions/topics, I highly recommend the book Behave by Sapolsky.

Good. It is important to have different instances to distribute the load though. However, I hope there are not many people joining BeeHaw...

Really? I feel like they have worsen their numbers after disabling sms support. I had a few people with whom I could chat on signal. They all moved away. I now have 0 ppl. I still have it installed but ya..

I would love if third party apps added a banner linking to Lemmy. That would be great.

Science. I find /r/science to be one of the best subs in reddit. Not perfect, but one of the best. It would be great if those with a science background moved to lemmy.

I sometimes think about this but I very rarely search for things. I do sometimes search using duckduckgo.com whatever, by appending "site:reddit" to the query, but even that happens very rarely. And now with chatGPT, no more coding related searches.

What are you guys searching that you require a premium provider?

Sublime text. It is just so fucking good! Much more performant than even nvim.

Where does he say that he thinks it could still grow into something beautiful? You are commiting logical fallacies and cognitive distortions.

This is honestly goals. I don't have a partner but I dream of this. This is better than sex in my opinion.

Which bike, may I ask?

DDG has ads in the search result. Laginis honestly a great service. You can easily filter results and it removes BS SEO spam..

There is Fork. But sadly, it is not available for Linux. Git-fork.com

Psychedelics are.. greatest thing I have ever done. Though I wouldn't call them a ritual.

Getting home to dogs and feeling their attention and unconditional love must be great!

Hahaha. I hope this was just a joke and you are actually ok.. But who am I kidding, existing is horrible.

Regardless, maybe if you stopped smoking you would feel better?

The subscribe button is a bug that should be fixed in the next release. As a work around, if you click any other button in that page, the issue should be fixed. Try it.

Which bike?

Is there now conversation view without having to use an extension?

So you made it and it was the right decision!

Ah, sorry. I didn't see that you require it to be free. It is also not open source IIRC.

Care to give some specific links or screenshot? I really have no time, nor the motivation, to look at that.

What the fuck.. Hahah, you actually poured beans in a Croc. Damn bro

That machine looks really interesting! Though it is way too expensive for me. I wonder if there is a (much) cheaper alternative somewhere.

Others have already said, but I will reinterate:

You have to go to your account settings and enable "Show NSFW". It is off by default.

Oh, that really sucks..

Getting a native conversation view should be a focus for them!

Oh, I sometimes make my bathroom into sort of a sauna.. I turn the heater, put a really scalding hot bath and just stay there, sweating my ass off, for like 2h. It's great.

Ahahah. Made me laugh. Thank you.

You'd probably be chasing more of it.

Oh. I would be interested in that! A post/comment from you with the advice, requirements, medical advice pertaining to depression and adhd and a "laundry list of no-nos". Please do say!

Thank you for the in-depth reply!

I will give it another go!

That is a good laptop. Nice that you made the switch the Linux.. Switching to Linux 13 or so years ago is one of the best decisions I have made. It is just so much better than Windows.

May I ask which bike?

Link to the shoes?

Does this support extensions? Things like copilot and git diff plugins...?
