I hope that with future versions of lemmy they can create "lists" that people can subscribe to that will do this.

or at least let you add communities to your own lists that do that.

Ech ,

How is that different from how subscriptions work now, other than adding one more thing to click to get to your "list" to add a subscription?

You could group them and look at everything "outdoors" related from multiple communities in a single feed.

fluffyrex ,

Yeah, that would be cool. Right now we only have 3 options: All, Local, or Subscribed. I'd love a submenu that let me generate an individualized feed based on multiple subscriptions that I grouped together, and also let me name & save these feeds.

This is a great idea!

agitatedpotato , to explainlikeimfive in ELI5: If you're a Christian, why do you have to be good if Jesus will forgive you no matter what?

You have to be truly sorry for your sins and make an honest attempt at not doing them again. That being said if you sneak in a really sincere confession right before death, then by the book, you should go to heaven. This is a loooot like Christians last rights, the sacraments they use on the dying.

Fun fact anyone can preform last rights for a Christian should they request it. Reason being that people don’t always get to choose when they need their last rights so holy men may or may not be around.

@ClassyHatter@lemmy.world avatar

It’s not a feature of Lemmy and, I guess, no-one has wanted to create it for their app. You should submit this idea to the Lemmy developers so it will eventually be a feature in every app.

they do!!! they have gut microbiome which is responsible for producing digestive gas. so farting is directly connected to their digestive system, just like us

It's helpful to understand what the rules and values of an instance is to evaluate if a duplicate community is worth subscribing to. There will be dominant communities that shake out. Subscribe to a bunch now and then reevaluate in a month.

dingus , to reddit in Increase in "vote to find the sub's favorite" threads on Reddit lately..?
@dingus@lemmy.ml avatar

There’s also been an increase in Giveaways. There were a bunch in PC themed subs, and then a handful in other subs, but they skyrocketed to the frontpage. I found it very suspect that “giveaways” which had been a big thing on reddit a few years back, suddenly resurged to the front page to make people want to comment in a thread to win some pricey gaming hardware or whatever.

I hope some functionality like that will show up purely because I need this question to stop appearing every 3 minutes.

Yes, you'll subscribe to 10 technology subs. Oh no the humanity.

Candelestine ,

I, too, am annoyed by this one. It's like people forgot that reddit had multiple tech subs too, you just picked the biggest one usually. This is no different, just nothing is big yet. Maybe its that last part that bothers people.

lily33 ,

I, personally, want things to be decentralized. I want to have 100+ technology communities that are all relevant. But for that to be practical, there needs to be a simple mechanism for people to follow the topic "technology", and get the content of all these 100+ communities merged together (then perhaps manually block some of them that have bad moderation). Unless we have such mechanism, we'll end up with one main big technology community, and all others will be secondary.

Kichae ,

Mastodon lets you subscribe to hashtags. Misskey/Calckey let's you create saved searches for termsaand hashtags.

Community tags and either of those options would go a long, long way.

Both also have lists. Being able to add communities to lists would give people the "metacommunities" they think they want.

But honestly, I think people will do better long term if they have to put in even just a little bit of legwork to find the communities with the right fit, and ignore the rest. People have a lot of FOMO around this, but it's not like anyone read even 1% of anything that was ever posted to big subreddit. They never feared missing out on all of the stuff below the fold.

overzeetop ,
@overzeetop@lemmy.world avatar

Making people go scrounging over ten subs is the ideal way to reduce your subscriber base. It’s also a shitty model for a link aggregator and a terrible way for people to ask questions and get answers. Not all of us have ten hours a day to scroll through multiple communities on the same topic, with the same article posted 8 times with 8 different discussion threads and some goober posting the same inane comment on all eight. It’s a waste of time.

There are perfectly good reasons for similar communities with a different focus to co-exist. Making the Fediverse harder and more Byzantine to use is a terrible reason to want it, though.

CreatureSurvive , to nostupidquestions in Why "top of the hour" is not available on any of the apps for Lemmy?
@CreatureSurvive@lemmy.world avatar

I believe they just added TopHour, TopSixHour, TopTwelveHour in version 0.18 but I don’t think they are implemented yet, because I have not been able to get them to work properly while testing in my app.

ssorbom , to nostupidquestions in How are lemmy and other fediverse platforms profitable?

Personally, I like the way the haiku project does it. They have a bar with how much they need on the website and as they get more donations, the bar starts filling up. I think the most important thing is to be transparent about your costs.

Another surprisingly good episode, this season is turning out the be a banger.

angstrom , to startrek in Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x03 "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow"

Pretty solid episode. Usually I dislike time travel episodes but this one worked given that it gave La'an opportunity for character development and the beginning of closure. I was a little worried that were edging back towards the temporal Cold War plot thread from Enterprise with the ending. Hopefully they will stay well clear of it.

One thing is the last 3 episodes in terms of content have felt like they belong in the back half of season 1. Not that it is bad thing, but there is the feeling that we are waiting for the season proper to kick off.

I'll open an issue. Ah, no.

Ech , to fediverse in How do I deal with "fractured" communities?

Just subscribe to all of them if you're that worried about missing something. It's really not that complicated.

Also, stop worrying about reenacting your Reddit experience. Lemmy is not Reddit. Figure out what you like about Lemmy and focus on enhancing that instead of stressing about forcing Lemmy into your preconceived notion of what it should be.

Bristlerock ,
@Bristlerock@kbin.social avatar

This is pretty much what I'm doing.

If sub.rehab shows 5 threadiverse alternatives for a subreddit, I'll have a look at each and often sub to 2-3 with the highest subscriber count/posts I like. I'll then monitor them over time to see which, if any, to unsub from.

thingsiplay , to technology in Github is down!

The good thing with Git is, that many people have copies of the entire project history. This is a backup and people can still work on the project until servers are up again.

TriLevelSync ,

For codebases yes. The issue I got locked out of today is Guthub’s container registry and couldn’t pull any images.
