Will this be a movie or will it be a season?

As long as you were happy doing nothing during the winter break, then that’s all that matters. :)

Woo! Thank you for your service! 🫡

It’s not the only difference. Here’s the list of differences from the devs. It’s just that for me, I like the UI better. But there are other reasons, including political reasons, why some people migrated to Piefed.

But once again, the beauty of the Fediverse allows you to choose. :) I think the biggest thing that should concern you is whether your instance frequently defederates from others, or if others defederate from your instance.

I used to be on Lemmy, but I prefer PieFed’s UI better. You can also set scheduled threads, which is pretty nice if you post things frequently. But whichever you choose, Lemmy and Piefed can interact with one another. And that’s the beauty of the Fediverse.

This is something I didn’t know I wanted until now.

It’s an ongoing issue of the Fediverse that the Lemmy devs haven’t been able to resolve. Some of my posts aren’t visible on other instances, and there are some posts from other users that have wildly different number of comments depending on which instance you’re viewing it from.

Because there’s still a handful of basic stuff that still hasn’t gotten sorted out yet for some reason.

Like if I wanted to share your post with my friends, I’ll send them this link: https://piefed.ca/c/nostupidquestions/p/377144/why-isint-lemmy-more-popular. If they’re using a mobile app, then it might be fine. But if they’re on desktop and want to comment or vote here but aren’t already on my instance, they need to go back to their home instance, search up this community, and then search for this post. Why isn’t there some sort of native way where I can just click on a button and have it open up in my home instance? Or even better: integrate something like threadiverse.link into Lemmy/PieFed so it immediately redirects me to my home instance’s version on this post.

And before someone suggests using a different front-end or using a browser script, I appreciate you trying to help but my issue is why this isn’t even natively part of Lemmy. And I’m not even sure if it’s in the pipelines for V1.0.

Another issue is that there are still posts that don’t federate properly. And it’s not because an instance was defederated. What posts I see on this account might never be visible from a separate account. What is even more frustrating is that sometimes, I can’t even force my instance to fetch the post. I’ll give it the direct link and it still can’t find the post on my instance.

As long as these basic issues remain unresolved, Lemmy will not become popular. A site can’t be popular if I can’t even share a post to my friends properly. Or if I can’t even see the post, then I wouldn’t be able to share it with anyone!

Edit: added clarification

That is indeed true. Only issue I can see is the copycat community might not outgrow the older community. And I think people tend to gravitate towards the larger community if there are multiples of them. Especially newer users who won’t know of the power tripping mods and will just assume it’s an ordinary community. But let’s hope new users joining the Fediverse have better critical thinking skills and start asking questions if they see a community with a strong and active copycat community.

This can happen on the Fediverse as well, though. It might not happen at the same scale as on Reddit over here due to the public modlog, but mods can still ban people for no legitimate reason.

There are lots of other reasons why Reddit sucks. But mods power tripping isn’t unique to them. We have our own fair share of power tripping mods and community hoarders that migrated here from Reddit.

There’s a video of Kowloon Walled City from a university student (Suenn Ho) if anyone wants to see how it looks like from the inside. It’s incredible how people even managed to live there.

Ah, sorry about that! I’ve always provided the source but just forgot to do it this time. Will grab the source in just a bit. Currently out in the public and it’s probably a bad idea to do it now.

EDIT: Done!

Thank you!

Could you please appoint @animetiddiesenjoyer@lemmynsfw.com as a moderator of !big_anime_tiddies@lemmynsfw.com? There’s a bug from my instance that doesn’t allow me to appoint moderators. Thank you! :)

Thank you so much! And by any chance, would it be possible to rename the community to BigAnimeTiddies instead of the current name of Big_Anime_Tiddies? I know it can’t be done on the frontend, so I’m hoping you might be able to do it on the backend.

And by OFF, we mean actually off. The last thing I want is the game to push out a minor update 5 years after its last update, and all of the mods I have are now broken.

Yeah it started working a few hours after I signed up for an account. No idea why it took a while, but it’s all good now.

Not sure if pinging you in the body of the thread worked, so I’ll ping in the comments as well. @yay@lemmynsfw.com.

I agree. I don’t quite understand why this is even a debate. Just pick anything that looks neat and 99% of the time, it’s gonna work fine. That’s the beauty of Linux.
