We definitely need Blender in the mix as well!

Also Signal, Bitwarden and Firefox.

Coldest was probably -20 °C, hottest around 40 °C.

My comfort temperature is right around 15 °C. Anything higher than 20 °C and I start sweating.

My girlfriend wants to go to Egypt for vacation this year. That’s going to be fun…

Most papers will be in PDF format and may contain colors as well. E-Ink is slowly getting there, especially with the rise of digital comics, but for the time being I wouldn’t trade my iPad and Pencil combo.

I see what you mean, but there’s also a large number of lurkers, who will only vote but never comment.

I don’t think it’s unfeasible to have a small number of comments on a highly upvoted post.

Thank you for your effort in running this instance and also for being so transparent about the whole process.

Just want to throw Connect for Lemmy into the mix as well. The dev is incredibly responsive to user reported issues and feature requests and it’s already a pleasure to use.

Haven’t found a way either with Jerboa and Connect. Not t sure if it’s possible at the moment.

This is important. Many people (and news outlets for that matter) consider Lemmy a product, when it really is very much an on-going early stage development effort.

It’s amazing how well everything works already, but nothing should be considered stable at this point.

What kind of maniac would use a password that’s longer than 60 characters?

I get that password managers are standard now, but anything outside the norm is just asking for trouble. I vividly remember updating a client’s webfrom to reject emojis in passwords, because for some reason people started using them and it wrecked havoc in the backend.

Maybe consider it a fair warning to keep some of that gore garbage on Reddit.

Same. Reddit without Boost or other third party apps is borderline unusable. The official app is an ad- and telemetry infested piece of garbage, but if you are planning on selling user data, I guess that helps.

I still visit Reddit on desktop during work, it’s often the top Google result for some of my niche questions, but on the other hand I’m pretty glad to have my year long death scrolling behavior cured.

I don’t use Reddit on mobile anymore and Lemmy is simply not convenient enough with Jerboa’s early stage of development, which means I spend about 90% less time using these apps compared to Boost. My productivity has skyrocketed.

Great foreshadowing of how chaotic it will get when they start to replace actual mods with Spez’s imposters.

I noticed this as well, it’s likely because the app is loading not enough posts to buffer for faster scrolling in both directions.

But I consider it a minor issue, if at all.

Spez must go, that’s out of question, but more importantly 3rd party apps must stay, because the place is borderline unusable without them.

Holy hell.

I’m sure he’s already aware and will make an account if he wants to.

There’s no point in shoving the Fediverse in someone’s face.

I really hate the fact that every good thing that happens will get fucked up by politics and religion in one way or another.

First of all and I mean this as someone new to the platform and genuinely not aware: What first party sources do you have to support your claims? I honestly don’t care about regurgitated comments and stuff like that.

With that out if the way there’s an obvious problem with that idea: Wether you like whatever political or religous views they truly have or not, they are the people actively developing this platform.

Especially in this time where every instance is creaking under the load of new users and bug reports and feature request are at an all-time high, I wouldn’t try to mess with their donations. Developing this platform is a monumental task for a small team of devs and it seems like donations are already pretty scarce from their latest post.

Sure, over time contributions and PRs will increase, as more people get comfortable with the codebase. Still without the core team development may be seriously crippled for a long time.

I hope they will find equally creative solutions like r/pics.

A nuclear one that comes to mind is taking the subs name too literally and turn it into bestgore.

It means that you are a bot. For example like Reddit’s automod or all the Star Wars or Lord of the Rings quote bots or also unit converter bots.

And it seems like the first people are already trying to misuse the label.

The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that what really made me delete my account early (I initially wanted to wait until the 30th to see how things play out) was the ridiculous number of people defending this bullshit and promoting the official Reddit app as the superior option.

Some going as far as saying 3rd party devs are leeches and scammers.

I can only tolerate so much stupidity and ignorance before I bail.
