Starting my day off with this absolutely cursed image, thank you OP.

That’s my main concern. Seeing content from other platforms in my Mastodon feed is pretty great right now (Lemmy, PeerTube etc). But hashtag feeds could quickly get overrun by something like this if it works the same way.

That said, making this its own thing instead of building a “reels” for Pixelfed suggests the dev already knows separation will be important, so 🤞

This is definitely a cool but very niche feature that I and nerds like me would use, but the vast majority of normal* folk never would. So for that reason it’s probably not going to be any kind of priority to add. But hey, in the meantime, we’ve always got footnotes!

* “normal” by Lemming standards, anyway

I can find no flaw in your reasoning here.

Hey, bit late to this discussion (found it while searching for something) but since you seemed interested in a casual user’s pov:

I’m a member of quite a few Lemmy communities that are really small, and I’m very active on Mastodon. So having those small communities in a list feed on Mastodon is really handy since I don’t miss anything and can just jump in with a reply on stuff without switching over to Lemmy.

I also post a lot of the same type of stuff to both platforms and sometimes it makes sense to keep that separate, but sometimes with niche interests it’s nice to be able to cross-post and get both groups of people chatting together in the comments.

Of course this is a moot point because federation between my Masto instance and Lemmy is currently broken, but it was really great before and I miss it a ton.

Joined group, still can’t get in on the Play link but I’ve made a note to check back and see if it’s updated tomorrow. What a faff!

Update: store link now works for group members.

Happy to help with the play store test if you decide to try and get the 20 🫡

Yeah I recently helped out with this mandatory testing thing for [email protected], seems it’s a relatively recent new hoop for devs to jump through.

No idea how accurate this is but it’s fun anyway!

Probably more just that this was the 90s

Oh, yesssss.

I knew that would be a step too far. The dream is dead 😆

Yes! Although, I have to admit I’ve never rewatched Farscape since it was originally on, I was still in school and me and my bestie were obsessed. Kind of worried to rewatch and find it doesn’t hold up. Firefly on the other hand, totally holds up!

Ok this will put the cat among the pigeons. And I probably shouldn’t be admitting it on the internet, but I just have to know…

Oh well, no further recommendations from me. But hello Trek-preferences twin, I guess :D

I’m completely with you on this, LD is clearly a hit with a lot of people and that makes me happy to see, but the show is just not for me. The characters are indeed way too hyper all the time which is tiring to watch, and I think it’s a shame because the concept and even a lot of the plots could be funny, but the characters never grow or change or become any less the absolute worst, so it’s kind of a wasted opportunity.

Anyway I’m not replying to dunk on LD. It’s a tv show and I don’t personally like it, whatever. I am replying to ask if you’ve tried The Orville.

Go with me here, because I assumed it was going to be just more of the kiddie style humour like LD. And it sort of is at first, so on my first attempt I bounced off the first episode and didn’t go back for a year. But we seem to have basically the same taste when it comes to Trek and I can honestly say The Orville turned into some of the best Trek I’ve seen. It’s got its weak points and annoying characters like anything else, but they’re a bit more like real people who change over time based on their experiences and aren’t just stuck in that typical animated show loop of being exactly the same again at the start of each new episode.

You might like it, you might not. Just a suggestion! :)

I’ve never stopped believing in you, Pluto ❤️

So excited for this to roll out, I’m sure it’ll need further tweaks as we go but it’s encouraging to hear positive reports from the start!

Seems like the specific issue is this:

• If the community is on your local instance, it doesn’t show the instance in the dropdown. If it’s a remote instance, it does.

• However instead of using the actual unique URL of the community, it uses the display name. So in this case lemmy.ml/c/ireland and lemmy.ml/c/ireland_on_lemmy both have their display name set to just “Ireland”.

I think differentiating between local and remote communities is actually pretty useful but obviously the second thing is a problem when you’ve got competing communities on one server. Which I guess is a thing that people are doing.

Maybe instead of:

• Ireland
• Ireland

it should be showing

• Ireland (/c/ireland)
• Ireland (/c/ireland_on_lemmy)

which not only fixes this problem but also means you can see how to get to a community to go check it out before posting there (this comes up sometimes in the process of crossposting) and it’ll stop, say, a mod giving their community an unrelated name to confuse people into posting something inappropriate or whatever.

There should probably also be a character limit on the display name because that UK one is obnoxiously taking up all of the horizontal space and leaving no room for its actual identifier.

Living in an area that has “James Cook is from round here” as basically its only defining characteristic just got a lot cooler.

I was saying the other day there’s been a noticeable uptick in activity in some of my favourite arts & crafts type communities over the last couple of weeks. Probably just a temporary blip, and our numbers are still quite precarious, but it’s encouraging nevertheless.
