Borgzilla , to fediverse in Is it just me, or is the Lemmy search interface not... great?
@Borgzilla@lemmy.ca avatar

It would be cool if communities could be grouped by instance and if we could see the latest topic for each to get an bird’s-eye view of the discussions. Local communities should appear in the first group at the top of the page. I’m not sure if it’s currently possible, but being able to tag communities would be nice and allow for better search results.

johnnyjayjay OP ,

I think this exists in the "Communities" tab of each instance. There you can see the local communities (minus the latest post, and sorted by number of members I believe?)

Grouping/tagging might be cool though. One thing I'm rather curious about is how the "scattered" communities are going to play together (with multiple technology communities for example).

HoleMuncher , to showerthoughts in I see Reddit going down the same path as Facebook. A ad-ridden platform without the young and savvy, full of boomers posting bad memes and politics.

Wow, I had never made that connection!!

bobthened , to explainlikeimfive in What does it actually mean when they say "record profits?"

Profit is the Revenue(all of the money that you get from selling the products) - all of the costs; so that includes, manufacturing costs, Labour costs, overheads, tax costs, marketing, transport/distribution, insurance, rent, etc.

Companies can increase their profits in a number of ways, but in simple terms they can either reduce their outgoing costs or increase their incoming revenue. Most of the time they try to do both. So they might be putting fewer of their products in each box but charging more for them, or reducing the quality of their packaging but charging more for the products, laying off employees but charging more, or dodging taxes but charging more etc. etc.

Would maintenance mode be enough for repair shop?

Rayray OP ,

I guess it would if the repair shops respected it. I am using my insurance to get the screen fixed so I have no idea where it ends up. They just have a big disclaimer which mentions that you should make a backup because the phone will most likely be factory reset.

Candelestine , to fediverse in Did the privacy concerns have been updated/planned for update?

The Fediverse is like the internet, it is not one thing, but lots of individual “things” linked together. You can theoretically, legally ask each one to delete your stuff.

But there is no single giant tech company you can ask that controls the whole thing and can delete content over the whole thing. This is part of the point.

cerevant , to nostupidquestions in Lemmy vs kbin?

I think the Mastadon integration is cool, and I like the feel of the UI, but Kbin terminology is just confusing, and at a practical level, just doesn’t work as reliably as Lemmy. Kbin needs to take a step back and reframe itself as an alternative Lemmy platform instead of a Lemmy replacement. And it needs to fix its federation code so it can drop the warning on every federated community.

Not the red cross on a white field. That’s the symbol of the Red Cross, and they get antsy if anyone else uses it. But you can use the white cross on a red field. Or a green cross. Or the rod of Asclepius. The caduceus isn’t really supposed to be for medicine.

Terevos , to youshouldknow in YSK: There is a Lemmy instance dedicated to nature and science: mander.xyz
@Terevos@lemm.ee avatar

TIL.

I wish there was an easy way to list all the communities on an instance and then pick which ones you’d like to subscribe to

bdonvr ,
  1. Go to lemmyverse.net
  2. Click the “communities” tab up top.
  3. Click the “Instances” filter button
  4. Click “Hide All” then search for the instance you want and enable that one.
  5. Click the house icon at the top of the page and enter your home instance

Now you see a list of all communities on that (or multiple) instances, and clicking on them takes you right to that community on your own instance. It’s the best way I’ve found.

cupcakezealot , to android in For the people coming in asking what app for Lemmy. You don't need it. Lemmy is great on a mobile browser.
@cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I prefer apps either now just because Android is pretty bad about reloading pages when you switch back and forth between your browser.

Also once Boost for Lemmy comes out, it’ll be all I need.

Commenting from Kbin on Firefox, where I have to rotate my phone to landscape orientation to read full comments. If I keep it in portrait, some comments will randomly run off the side of my view, and zooming out doesn't help.

It's not perfect. I'm very much hanging in there until some sort of upgrade comes along. Lemmy.world has been unable to get me signed in, so there's that.

GrossGhost ,
@GrossGhost@kbin.social avatar

Did you purposely make your comment long to serve as an example? Because it runs right off the side of my screen lol

Usernameblankface ,
@Usernameblankface@kbin.social avatar

Ha! I wasn't trying for that outcome, but it sure worked! Even for me reading my own comment, it runs off the screen

@MeowdyPardner@kbin.social avatar

Hmm that's weird, I use the kbin site in Firefox on my pixel 5 and haven't had this happen anywhere

Whayle ,

Same here on a lower end Samsung, it's fine. IMHO I also think if people flock to apps for just a UI, it can take away some of the motivation to improve a site.

Datas_Cat_Spot , to nostupidquestions in Do people get partners because as we get older we have less friends?
@Datas_Cat_Spot@startrek.website avatar

Partners are usually because you want love and companionship, and possibly to create a family.

Friends are great, but a partner is different.

You usually can’t just fuck your friend and stay only friends for long. Catching feels is a real thing.

wheresyourshoe , to fediverse in Is it just me, or is the Lemmy search interface not... great?

It’s on par with reddit’s right now, lol. But I imagine it’s on the list, just not very high priority right now.

bayport , to showerthoughts in Why do we use base 60 for time and base 10 for everything else. Why has no one decided to integrate it.

The French tried doing decimal time using base 10 during the French Revolution. People have thought about it in the past and tried

Datas_Cat_Spot , to piracy in Third party Reddit apps just got canned.
@Datas_Cat_Spot@startrek.website avatar

The popularity of this community might finally get me into pirating, lol. I subbed out of curiosity.

Quill7513 ,

I like that this community is dedicated to the concept of piracy based on their principals. I’m not involved, but I appreciate it

beaumains ,

I’m not involved either. I definitely would never do anything so abhorrent and inconsiderate of rights holders who purchased their copyrights fair and square.

Never.

Ever.
