Yoshi’s Island!

It’s an unofficial open-source daemon used by alternative Spotify clients. I used it once for a terminal Spotify client. It’s a pretty neat piece of software.

Night of the Consumers has a premise that is sort of close to what you’re imagining.

I quite liked it. You could recognize users, everyone was generally nice, you could leave for a month without feeling like you missed out, conflict wasn’t worth it most of the time so you’d see it to a lesser degree than compared to the conflict generated in just the past week, and the vegan community thrived. I actually started having conversations with some Lemmy users outside of Lemmy!

I remember how exciting it was when federation was enabled and the handful of instances could finally hang out together.

It was quiet and peaceful, but drama would happen once every couple of months that was both entertaining and annoying.

Avoiding Hacker News has done wonders for my mental well-being.

That’s where you’d leave a link to a site or image you wanna share. You’d leave it blank if you’re just making a text post.

Whats stopping someone adding horrific images as a commenter and forcing everyone in the thread to view it?

I agree with you for this exact reason. Lemmy has had its share of trolls in the the past who have abused this feature by posting scat porn in random threads. It makes browsing Lemmy in public scary.

Plus, it makes it easier for people to just spam emotes or GIFs that ultimately lessen the quality of discussions. I’ve seen many Reddit threads that are just:

You didn’t need to switch. You could’ve followed the same communities on lemmy.ml straight from your Beehaw account. It’s one of the benefits of federation.

Yeah live reload is a Lemmy feature, specifically a part of the Websockets API. That API is being deprecated so live reload will go away soon.

MLM in this case refers to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism or Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought, not Multi-Level Marketing.

The new app bundles format is a worrying trend! If it’s truly exclusive to the Play Store and can’t be brought to Aurora Store or the Android package installer somehow and APKs start to fizzle out, users of degoogled Android ROMs are going to suffer. If some big name apps are only available as AABs then tough luck.

Hey, I’ve been meaning to ask you this, but you’re both deaf and blind? And that’s interesting that Windows doesnt’t have good interfaces, since I always heard Windows is better in that department compared to Linux.

And developed by people who hate the fact that you’re alive!

A comment about Lemmy I saw on Reddit. The slur filter really pulls its weight and keeps the bigots out, it was a great idea.

Are you expecting a community about China to be dedicated to shit-talking China or something? This isn’t Reddit. People sent you some great links in the comments of that last post. I suggest you unlearn everything you think you know about China, read the links, and learn about China from a non-Western perspective.

How about Apostrophe?

AnySoft is pretty great! I especially like that it has the ability to swype. It may not be the best but it’s the only open source keyboard I know that has that capability.

Congratulations on this milestone! Lemmy’s only getting better and better.
