Agreed.
Until people started following hashtags. Then they were trying to be about more than just people, and doing it poorly. Kind of like wanting to subscribe to people on Lemmy. That’s not what it’s for, and just shouldn’t be an option, so people know that.
They really aren’t.
They’re a user created workaround, attempting to fix the structure-less, findability problem. Twitter embraced and officially incorporated them, because they had no better solution that wasn’t completely rebuilding the entire system. They rightly new everybody would hate that.
Yes exactly! It’s just like Twitter or Blusky. It’s 99.3% people just shouting into the void, without form or structure. You’re not confused.
also if it uses a common input name (which it would because it’s the same Lemmy software) then your webbrowser would suggest/autocomplete it
That’s exactly the local software I’m talking about! Now we’re on the same page. Rather than being a form, the local software could just detect and do it all seamlessly.
The All feed is for All. If you don’t want All don’t use All.
It’s designed as a White List system, with subscriptions. You pick the things you want to see.
You’re asking for a Black List system, where you see everything accept what you don’t want. That only works while things are small. As they grow, Black Lists become much larger, and more difficult to manage. When you get to the point where their are tens of thousands of communities, and hundreds of thousands of posts every second, they become useless.
You’d have manually enter your home instance on every site you visit. Super annoying. Not a solution.
That would require some kind of local client side software.
Some kind of browser extension.
Now here’s the bigger issue. Lets say I can click a button, and now a home instance, and all its communities could be saved to a special drop down tab that replaces the local. Your instance is always the default, but the rest are alphabetically listed.
I don’t think I understand. You mean choose a local view of a different server? That would require every instance to duplicate everything on every other instance. Not possible.
What makes Communick.News different from Lemmy.World?
It’s a paid instance. I pay a subscription fee to ensure it won’t die do to lack of resources.
The idea isn’t to centralize the instances. The idea is to theme them.
What benefit would themed instances have. You can’t follow an instance…
Oh! That’s what your trying to do! You want to be able to see some logical grouping of related communities, and follow that! Now I get it.
Yah. That’s not the way to do that. The “MultiReddit” concept is what you want for that. A shareable list of related communities. That’ll work regardless of what instance they are hosted on. Multi-communities are on the pre v1.0 list already
Lemmy privacy isn’t a joke, because there isn’t any. It’s 100% public by design.
If you want to keep something private, don’t post it publicly online.
Use Mastodon. Lemmy is built around topics, not people.
That’s exactly what the Local feed is for.
If you don’t want All, don’t use All. Because All will give you All, not just Local. If you want Local, use Local.
Uses the new Silicon/carbon battery chemistry.
Also maybe a little thicker. Don’t know that
What?
Hell my checks clap whenever I walk, that’s got nothing to do with this.
Pretending to out position, a pigeon playing at being a person, may be a preposterously puerile peacock, like I’ve never perceived.
You thought this was chess?
With your first reply you played a game of pointless pedantic posturing in the pursuit of pretend points. I just had fun playing along during moments of down time between patients.
We never argued tankie anything.
From Modikins first response it was all pedantic drivel. Nothing of substance. They started by attacking my bad analogies, without actually reading them. I just played the game they started, and took it to its logical conclusion.
Try nothing. I actually did it! 👨🎓
Excellent work!
Line is however subjective. On my device that’s actually 5 lines, because 2 of them wrap. And you didn’t count the blank line between your lines 2 and 3. That would make 4 if you had.
But that’s just coincidence and post hock nitpicking. Really I assumed you were referring to both of my primary comments together, since you also referenced the second. And calling the short paragraphs lines. Count them that way, there were also 4.
This is actually an improvement.
Better to give an error message, than to silently fail.
