I prefer transmuting goblin to gold. Quite a curious spell, only works on those who mock magic.

If I’m only browsing top, I switch to .ml since I had an account there months ago
Remember how they took gold awards, a user made bot, and monetized it?
Firefox did the same.
And I actually love it.
You’re saying this… On Lemmy. You do know we have three different “trending” settings here, right?
I honestly much prefer the idea of a chronological feed too, but disagree that’s what kills a platform. Tumblr has both the chronological and the trending for you/for all, and it was also ignored.
I think this is the perfect opportunity to plug to everyone the concept of password managers and other basic web security concepts.
There’s a video that shows exactly this phenomenon in real time.
The most important people are the first followers. A website with a guy commenting alone is sad for the guy. A website with a couple people commenting is sad for whoever’s not talking.
Same thing for every single-game community. Dota’s deserted. Also things like patientgamers is lowering in activity.
I didn’t fuck it up unintentionally.
/r/Piracy
That’s not the real games piracy sub anyways. The true successor of the scene-watching community is and always was /r/CrackWatch and even there people are very aware that they’re not contributors, just spectators. So basically, it was a place for movies piracy, and movies piracy is and always been the most piss easy, top result on google piracy around. I haven’t gone on a single website to pirate movies in a decade, shit is all searchable either directly on qBit and deluge or on tracker tools.
They don’t want to come over, so what? They’re irrelevant. A wiki service reddit, barely anything else. A place for people who unironically install uTorrent and don’t even know what the u stands for.
I think there won’t be an immediate rush, but I do think there will be a sporadic sine wave of people checking out the place. Funny enough the best thing people can do is hold off posting memes and then doing it on the 1st of July for maximum engagement.
It’s okay babe, happens to a lot of men.
Oh shit I only get one opportunity to say something witty and I just wasted
It’s perfect and I wish Reddit did it ages ago. It’s the same as Forums with account levels, it makes you think someone has more input than they actually do, and it opens up the system to people selling accounts or botting accounts to later sell (which is a rampant problem on reddit and there’s now anti-bot bots).
Big upvote. I figured out how to follow other communities from clicking the community tab at the top and looking at the URL. But it shouldn’t be this hard. It should be way more seamless.
There’s two things I wish this had:
(This is your suggestion) Lemmy websites and apps should automatically attempt to show external communities within their own website if possible, so that sharing a community from this one will still allow you to join up without further navigating
When seeing a “subscribe” button on another website, instead of it assuming you want to subscribe from the site itself and telling you to log in, it should first check if you’re not logged in, and if you’re not, also give you the option to subscribe to it from another instance if it finds any browser cookies for other Lemmy communities.
With that said, both of these might be against the goals or require the cooperation of an instance, so if we ultimately end up not getting it, well, it’s fine-ish.
This is what I want. A way for users to create their own “lists” similar to multireddits, which come up on their feeds as part of a super-community, and then they can share that list with other users.
No hassle for the moderators. No change to the system outside of the feature’s own self-contained stuff.
Interesting. I wonder if they already got an offer that matches their new API pricing, and they decided to up everything to match that cost and avoid being sued later.
Like, there seems to be some urgency between them announcing and upping the price. What was it? Is this the reason? A confirmed, extremely wealthy and extremly naive buyer?
“Gamers” and Gamers are two different things. Only “Gamers” ever said they wanted to boycott games, but much like Reddit’s userbase, “Gamers” are only 30% of all Gamers.
Unfortunately, I doubt Reddit would crash. I don’t think these online protests have much sway anymore. Twitter’s definitely didn’t. And ironically, Lemmy might crash a couple times with going over user capacity…
Either way, we ought to work to avoid it. Chop chop, people, content, we need content! Lifeblood of link aggregators is people having topics.
Crypto
BrosLosers would be really mad at reading that, if they weren’t busy fellating the owners of BoredApes after they made them blind.…
What? No, that’s not a joke.
