I was on one of their megathreads, and it had 900 comments to a 100 up voted post. 95 percent was text. They comment always. The pig stuff are probably a fraction of what they post.

Great to know, thanks!

The lemmydotworld admins are preemptively defederating from far left hexbear. Defederation is supposed to be the last resort. The ironic thing is, only a few weeks ago we had redditors calling Lemmy devs tankies and telling people not to come here lol. And now we’re losing potential users because of paranoia from lemmydotworld admins.

Clowns everywhere.

Yes, I did. Wow, I’m happy to know that it works. The double notifications are wierd and a touch annoying, (something for devs to fix).

I’m happy it’s worked. But so long as I’m replying to you I suppose I don’t need to tag you.

It’s stopping people from subbing to different communities which is probably a bad thing.

@[email protected] did it work?

The people’s compassion is sadly not represented in government.

I suspect it’s sometimes because a mod removes the comment, I may be wrong.

Twitter appears to have copied it too.

It is a gif, at least on desktop for me. Yours only shows as a link.

Yes, it’s the same with some comments for me, I think when I click ‘parent’ or ‘more replies’.

The other guy, schmidt-something is pointing out that people will use their instances to have like-minded community whether that’s interests, language or specialism, while you appear to be advocating for the reddit type congregation of people and for some reason also arguing against the other guy’s description of reality, of how things are. I don’t see why you are offended at him…

And I see you have your own anxiety and disagreement about the nature of Lemmy’s federated system. That’s no reason to shoehorn it into every discussion.

I think you are pessimistic about Lemmy’s potential for small communities.

But have you considered that we’re not indexed on Google yet? And we largely don’t have a pervasive culture of promoting niche communities yet like they did on the large subreddits. So this is two other ways small communities aren’t being found in the first place.

I’m not getting that, but maybe that’s because I’m on Firefox with a bunch of extensions.

That’s interesting. ^[1]

I thought you were being serious for a second.

A smidgeon maybe.

It gives you remote self-sucking capabilities.

One cool thing I’ve discovered is that at least inside apps, those links with !!!exclamation marks to other subreddits work within the app and within your instance. So that’s cool. Not sure if it works with comments, since they’re a different structure.

I’ll test with this comment from a german instance: https://feddit.de/comment/747555

And the same comment from within my instance: https://lemmy.world/comment/779107

So the second link works but first doesn’t, its misread and goes to some other post.

I hope the old ui customisations will be available, would be great.

I’m also wondering what will be done about lemmy’s wierdness about subscribing to subs, where you need to search up the sub on your instance etc.

Even sharing the comment discussions is useless if the recipient isn’t already from the instance (probably are but many won’t be obvs), the site won’t let them comment unless they find the discussion mirrors on their own instance. So how will sync for lemmy deal with these eccentricities (that lemmy devs are also obvs going to deal with in the future)??

Thanks.

Good night.
