ASKING AGAIN @Mastodon to please, Please, PLEASE separate posts from boosts
we need a dashboard with easy access to our original posts/toots.
as a someone who enjoys boosting other people's wisdom & shenanigans, it's now impossible to find my own posts; just within a 24-hour period.
this is not sustainable.
but it's an opportunity to set new UI/UX standards; given how the shitshows formerly known as #Twitter#Threads#Bluesky and even #Reddit are going down the drain
I wanted to love #Lemmy as a replacement for #Reddit but I'm experiencing a whole bunch of bugs with it so far.
Feed refreshes as I try to read.
I'll be on one post, come back later and it's changed.
post comments stick around as I read other posts.
My profile seems borked and I cant see my comments.
But. I'm actually finding I'm not really missing reddit? I totally wish Lemmy and pals well, but I no longer feel the need to consume news / content like that.
I see a lot of conversation under #BlockMeta and I am fully in agreement that Meta would not be a positive actor in the #Fediverse. But what actually are they doing? What servers can actually be blocked? I see references to codenames (Project92), defederation debates (about whether to defederate with systems that do or don't defederate with P92)... But AFAICT, there is no project92 yet to (de)federate with, right? Or if there is, where is it?
Watching #Elon and now #Reddit CEO Huffman run the same play, it makes me think that Matt Muellenweg may be the only tech CEO left that I can think of has any credibility on the #OpenWeb. #WordPress#Automattic
do any of them support subreddits or is the idea that the instance itself is equivalent to a single subreddit?
In either case, how does federation work with regards to "subreddits" ? How do i post something to a /r/MyInterest equivalent and have it show up only in the /r/MyInterest .... equivalents out there (be they subreddits or individual instances)
Explanation or pointers to explanation posts would be greatly appreciated.
I have never been a huge Reddit user but I am obviously fascinated by the potential migration to #Threadiverse alternatives. Tell me friends, what’s better!? #kbin or #lemmy and does it matter because they are interoperable?! 👍 🙌 #Fediverse
Trying out #Lemmy. First impressions are that it's a bit intimidating.
Much like moving from Twitter to #Mastodon, #Pleroma, #CalcKey, #Akkoma, or others, Lemmy intially appears rather sparse compared to #Reddit (or at least the instance I joined does). As with the rest of the #Fediverse, you have to seek out communities to join. However, the decentralisation of Lemmy introduces some friction there which isn't present on Reddit, and I haven't really experienced it on Mastodon either.
I haven't been following the Reddit API mishegas since I don't use the platform at all. This post by the lead developer of one of their biggest clients, Apollo, is pretty indicting though. Someone asked what fediverse alternative there is for Reddit. I hope there is one. The less we rely on these concentrated portals for our social network needs the better. I also wouldn't be surprised if Reddit pulls down this post, sorry I don't have any faith in any of these Silicon Valley companies any longer, so hopefully someone is archiving it somewhere. #reddit#apollo#fediversewww.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/com…
