upvoting things on the main lemmy.ml page spins forever.
Karma is useful on things like discourse or mattermost as a spam prevention feature, you gradually expose features to people who aren't being spammy. The same thing is true of a user joining a new community on the same site.
Unfortunately that's only a kbin thing.
word clouds will find when a corpus of hashtags is similar in meaning. If you use only hashtags, that's like experiencing a grocery store or farmers market via an ambassador who cannot see the serendipitous shops that are nearby, the things frequently seen together. It's like shopping in an app and never visiting the grocery store itself. Having a precision following list means you can't experience going to a library and browsing shelves until something catches your eye - serendipitous search is fundimentally different from subscribed/reposted delivery, or even keyword search.
computers and digital space don't natively have the metric for which hashtags are closer, so they have to crunch the numbers to help figure out which books are closer to other books. Otherwise it's like entirely separate universes that you'll never ever find, like if you never knew a word that would lead you to a community of much more words and concepts and free thought.
Their UX sucks
If only restic deduplicated... But other than that it does okay.
I guess the thing I'm trying to describe is browsing. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5GggiXMaqDE
"value of type java. String cannot be converted to JSON object" is basically every 1/3 post.
Heard from folks the app crashes the instant they opened it.
Reuses comments section from previous posts.
Can't differentiate search by content vs search for communities,
Can't just paste a community URL, or paste a post URL into search
Two examples:
when you're browsing your follows on mastodon, and click on their follows, the list is not true to their follows (because your server hasn't fetched them).
and, when you first subscribe to someone's posts, you can't see older posts (say they've got 100, but you see zero).
I'm aware that there are technical reasons (you weren't subscribed), and open source reasons (nobody has the time to volunteer to fix it), but these are insufficient to help an anxious new user who's undecided about the platform.
That's only Mastodon, which has 7 years of refinement. Don't get me started on the litany of federation-related edge cases of Lemmy's UX failings.
Yeah, I heard rumors* about it but I'm hoping their admins and moderators can be better people and... Allow criticism of government? Like, as a minimum bar?
*Rumors being in regards to denying genocide, which, ouch.
Imma shrug off the tankie part and maybe leave it at "don't take down posts critical of China like you work for them"...
folks talked about "you should be able to search by !communityname@instance.name" not working, even if the community /is/ already federated and sharing content (think !technology@beehaw.org) - so there's definitely growing pains.
If by panic you mean AI hype, then maybe.
For example, this post is just as sensationalist.
