Isn’t that essentially one of the features of Discord?

It’s not for me. I prefer text so I can think out my words.

Hard pass. I already skip almost every video posted here because most of them could be an article instead. No way I would participate in a voice chat with other people where I am sure at least one of them is going to be yelling for no reason.

There doesn’t currently seem to be a direct way to go about those search methods, as far as I’m aware.

The closest equivalent I know of to search by title:

  • Go to the search page of the instance of your choosing (ex. lemmy.world/search, or lemm.ee/search). Larger instances will tend to be more useful for this since they are more likely to be aware of posts from any arbitrary instance; if you know that you want to search within a particular community, then searching on that community’s instance would yield all possible results, which could potentially not happen with a non-local instance search.
  • Filter to search only posts. This will yield both posts with the term in the title as well as posts with the search term in their body text.
  • Use your in-browser Find tool (ctrl+F for Windows, or Command+F for iOS desktop, or other methods with other OSs/devices) to search for the same search term on each page of results to highlight only the posts which have the term in their title.

There is not currently a flair system set in place for Lemmy. One workaround is adding the intended flair to the post title and following the aforementioned method for title search. This only works on posts for which the author has the flair in their post title, which typically is done with parenthesis or brackets before the title proper. I’ve attempted to implement/futureproof this on the [email protected] community for posts that I would want flaired as [MOC].

These filters that you’ve mentioned, as well as others, would be very useful to see on the fediverse in the future.

There was the one where the guy said “feminism is the worst thing that has ever happened to women.”

The one where the guy said “[Jesus] rolled away the stone and crawled out of his tomb fully healed even though his legs were broken” was pretty interesting giving the blatant blasphemy of it all. He has to apologize next week.

First and foremost, I think this just fundamentally wouldn’t work out because it requires enough people being on a given thread at the same time, which would be on the rare side for most threads, then on top of that they also need to be in a position to talk freely, ie - Not on the toilet, not in their open floorplan cube at work. The two place most commenting happens.

More subjectively, IMO, the times this would work out and be civil and a good conversation, would be far outweighed by the ones where it went south.

it’s not that they’re “completely incapable of making a functional website”. It’s that making a good website might take traffic away from their apps, where they have more power to collect metrics and bypass ad blocking.

Davel23 , to asklemmy in What has been the worst church service you have ever attended?

I was raised religion-free, my mother didn't push any beliefs on me (one of the few things she did right) so I grew up as a natural atheist. One Easter when I was very young, I don't remember how young precisely but I was probably 10 or younger, one of our neighbor families offered to take me to church for Mass. I guess they thought they were going to save my soul or something. My mother left the decision up to me. Now, in my mind Easter was bunnies and candy and egg hunts and all that good stuff so hell yes, I wanted to go. I don't know what I expected but what I definitely didn't expect was sitting quietly on an uncomfortable bench for (what seemed like to me) four hours while some guy talked at me. If I wasn't an atheist before that would have sealed the deal.

web 1.0 was superior; it was all downhill from there.

lurch ,

You can still make sites like that and they will work and also load faster.

skuzz ,

But, for that to work, as a company, you have to actually care about the user. Shareholders and project goals are what they care about. Well. Mostly shareholders.

Sounds like a huge feature creep that would require many more developers, specifically those with experience in audio software development and low-latency content delivery. Plus, Matrix practically has this feature.

TORFdot0 , to asklemmy in What has been the worst church service you have ever attended?

When we were young and first married, my wife and I decided to try a church that we had saw online. The website and name made it seem like it would be alright and more modern thinking. We were wrong.

We pull up and the church building is a double wide trailer, a congregation of about 30 people. The preacher appears to be in his 70s.

He sees that he has guests and singles us out and puts us on the spot to introduce ourselves to whole congregation. He never refers to my wife by her name instead just calling her “Wife”. He prays for us multiple times during the service and bring us up during the sermon. (Still just referring to us as TORFdot0 and wife)

Speaking of the sermon, he begins the sermon talking about the gay democrat agenda and how the gays are ruining God’s institution of marriage and how it will soon be illegal to be married to a woman. This gets an audible sigh from the ladies in the front row.

He also preached to cherish our Bible before the black socialist devil in the white house takes them from us.

He compared the Bible to an old hound dog and started barking for going on two minutes. It’s like a dog because it warns us of things to come.

After what seems like an eternity of a sermon, he invites the kids up to the alter for some “Hallelujah” Candy (it’s the Sunday before Halloween). One child takes a second handful of candy and the elderly pastor chastises him and then bends him over his knee and starts spanking him in front of the congregation.

Needless to say we did not give that church a second visit.

pseudonym ,

I don’t know why but the more I read of your story, the more the pastor turned into Baby Billy in my mind. Perfect match.
