  • Im counting the days for a Piefed app so i can switch over and be able to forget about ml drama and weirdness

    Jump

  • In my experience Reddit had to be used with an app if not on desktop, but the Fediverse on mobile feels like the Reddit app (I'm one of the few people who never had trouble with the official app, it was functional for me, so this is not meant as an insult at all. I left and came here over the API stuff only) so I have no need to switch. Much more mobile-friendly. Using the Fediverse on desktop feels a lot like the mobile experience but wider.

  • Not sent to other instances? I am on Mbin and see downvotes.

  • I understand that. I want to know specifically what attracts these people with different tastes to an app, and what makes them not want to use it in the browser. I generally don't judge on taste but I do get curious about why peoples' tastes are what they are.

  • I agree very much about Subscribing vs. All.

    I hear about the lemmy.ml drama on Fediverse but my actual experience is no drama and I do not 100% know what is happening.

    I also put my head in the sand and only look at my Subscribed, which includes zero politics or "this company did this awful thing"-style depressing news as I'm oversensitive and too prone to doomscrolling. I stay informed somewhere else, not on the Fediverse where people can put so many understandably upset comments that encourage me to doomscroll. And I'd imagine those types of posts, which I know to be prevalent on Local or All, attract comments from people with strong political views, which is probably part of the lemmy.ml drama. I could probably block all the politics posts with a couple community blocks, but not the miseryposting (understandable, people want to vent or post an on-topic news article, I just cannot handle it personally without doomscrolling more things like it) that attracts "and this problem was caused because of [insert politics here]" replies—so many communities are appropriate places to post news that happens to be sad, or a meme about how much your life sucks.

  • I have asked before and I am curious. I do not mean this to crap on people who want an app but I wonder why an app is a desired thing. I use Mbin and Lemmy on mobile completely through my browser and I'm having a good time with both.

  • It's My Farm I'll Pass Out If I Want To

    If the NPCs can lock me out of their homes at night no matter how many hearts I have with them, I can deny them access to my property at night too. Get off my lawn!

    EDIT: I was backscrolling the posts on this community on my instance and did not notice the comment age. Sorry. Hope anyone else doing the same finds this comment helpful?

  • Restored my faith a little

  • The stat in combination with the post just makes me think. Those 60% of younger people might have 37% of older generations agreeing with their views. Or at least being neutral. People are not just their generation, and people of all ages have individual differences and places where they differ from the norm. Somewhere, someone not in your generation agrees with you.

  • I remember I was sad a lot in my childhood, and why. I still look back on it fondly, likely because now I know how the things that made me sad get better/solved in the future, and because my childhood was free of a problem I currently struggle with now.

    And on a much shallower note, the pop music that got played everywhere all the time was music I actively enjoyed.

  • In your defense, "Segway" is a real brand of some kind of transport thingy, which might be where you picked it up.

  • Promoting new instances?

    Jump

  • Alright. I actually have no idea as to the age of the instance, but I am pretty sure it is new to most people on the Fediverse. I would also like to know the protocol for promoting communities in general, although at the time when I typed this I was thinking "new in age". I never should have put the word "new" in my post. Sorry.

  • Promoting new instances?

    Jump

  • There's a lot. I do not want to spam !newcommunities@lemmy.world, and they're also not new, although I know not-new-but-still-small communities have been allowed to get posted before. Now that you mention it, I could probably just make a few posts or one giant post listing related communities together…

  • What do you want to have in a Lemmy instance?

    Jump

  • I started on kbin.social to get my feet wet and once I figured things out a bit I wanted off the flagship instance so I could help with decentralization. Purposely sought out a smaller instance, but I, like the user you replied to, needed faith it would keep running. Server age is useful. How many people joined is also somewhat useful—you'll probably have a harder time deciding to shut down an instance down on 100 active users than on 2, although it still happens (I used to be on kbin.cafe with around that number, the admin went inactive and the instance lived for awhile, but I checked now and get an SSL error. Shortly after the admin went inactive I went looking for somewhere new. kbin.run had around 100 active just like kbin.cafe, I went there, and clearly it worked out). I did not really need any fancy features, just for the instance to have a future while not being one of the biggest ones, and to not have a horrible reputation (like explodingheads does).

    You might get a new signup from me, already happy with my current instance, if your instance is devoted to an interest I like. If someone makes animals.social or bunnies.social and it gets more than 2 people to sign up, I'm definitely unsubbing from all my cute animal communities here and resubbing to them there. But I get the feeling you want to be general purpose. I don't think I'll need to make a new account anytime soon but if I do I'll come checking on yours.

  • LLM Chat Bots in our community

    Jump

  • Some people are engaging with the weekly posts on !incremental_games@incremental.social (sadly having federation issues) that are in theory using a bot, but in practice mods have been manually making the post. But people engaged when it was actually the bot posting too.

    !fedigrow@lemm.ee, !newcommunities@lemmy.world definitely have weekly posts that get interacted with. !letstalkaboutgames@feddit.uk used to, they are not regularly posted anymore, but when they are people interact. However, on all those communities, as far as I know (I think the post scheduler posts with your account so for all I know the bot could post it?), humans are making the bog-standard "what is going on in your community/active communities/what are you playing this week?" posts and I wonder if the fact a human is posting is what is driving the engagement there.

  • As a person who uses Mbin on iOS, I'm really surprised no app support is an issue for people. It's really easy for me to use in the browser. I'm not saying this to put down people who want an app, I want to understand what an app would have that makes it better. I'm curious.
