ohhh thanks - it doesnt seem like that setting saves on refresh of the page though :(

Looks great! Wonder is there a way to reduce the size of the sidebar? It takes up a huge amount of the space on web (while still keeping the names visible, the minimized view with icons isn’t super helpful)

Awesome, no more errors on my end! Thanks for the hard work, donated as a small token of thanks for the team here.

Hm, maybe I should do the same (and if it’s helpful to spread the load across instances anyway?). I try to comment and never able to (always a network error or some other error on both jerboa and wefwef). Let’s see if this comment even posts lol

this explains a lot. on Hot and on Active I see posts with 0 interaction (basically sorting by new). on Top I just see old posts :(

My dumbass thought ‘local’ meant popular in my geo location and ‘all’ is worldwide when I first joined 😅

I also came here from suggestions on reddit. I don’t think it’s hard to find for anyone sincerely looking for an alternative.

Couldn’t they have integrated ads as posts, then it’d show on any third part app. And I saw other ideas floating around about making third party app access a feature behind Reddit Premium. So many alternatives and they choose the most idiotic one

Reddit is still a useful resource for me (most of my googling is with “reddit” appended to get actual answers vs. clickbait for ads). But for casual browsing I’m making a conscious effort to stick to Lemmy/Kbin as much as I can. And it’ll only get easier with time as more quality content comes on the platform!

+1… I’d wager that a significant portion of that 0.2% (if indeed the number) is the most active / dedicated reddit users (power users). It’s the mods, active posters, etc that are creating and fostering content on the whole site. The rest of the lurkers won’t stay if there’s nothing engaging being posted or if the subs are an unmodded mess.

Another thing I noticed is the filters don’t seem to do much? Like Active vs Hot vs Top (especially Top/Hot just shows posts with no interaction).

there is something endearing about using this new technology that’s a bit rough around the edges.

i’m sure that will be a monumental task but here’s to hoping!

thanks for the hard work!

+1, I feel much more inclined to contribute to the community in lemmy vs. reddit. And its awesome to see so much growth in the past few days (and I’m sure we’re about to see it explode in the next week)

if you’re on Android there is an app for Lemmy called Jerboa which is working well for me (and also just released a new update with a ton of additions/fixes!). You can use the app to connect to any lemmy instance.

Given that every instance pretty much has a copy of the whole fediverse on its own, isn’t that incredibly inefficient? I can imagine as the fediverse grows the amount of storage required for each instance becomes too huge, maybe resulting in each instance needing to focus solely on certain groups of topics? Storing all that data can’t be cheap nor environmentally friendly.

Decentralized is the future of the internet

Am I indirectly supporting lemmy devs by being on lemmy.world? I’d rather not be supporting tankies.
