I discover posts usually exclusively through my notifications, where upvotes and downvotes aren’t displayed. And I don’t look at them until after I’ve decided what to do with the post.

Infinite Scrolling is an anti-pattern meant to get you addicted, that’s probably why the Lemmy devs didn’t include it. You might want to look into alternate frontends for Lemmy. I have no experience with them, but they might have the feature.

I’m using Mbin, where Infinite Scrolling is an optional setting that is turned off by default but can be turned on even logged out via the sidebar. So if this is a feature you need, and no alternative Lemmy frontend provides it, consider switching to Mbin.

I’m using Mbin, website only. I’m not an app person at all. Which is ironic, considering the instance I’m on was created as a pilot for the app iirc.

Why Mbin? There’s many reasons, but the most practically important one is that I can follow users, not just communities. This gives me a direct means to receive posts from Mastodon, unlike Lemmy users who have to rely on Mastodon posts mentioning a community explicitly. But Piefed does have that on their roadmap iirc, there’s other reasons too why I prefer Mbin.

Mbin lets me “loud” subscribe to communities and users, which means I get notified of any new posts by them. I don’t know if Piefed and Lemmy have the same functionality, they probably do under a different name? Anyway, I usually “consume”, for lack of a better word coming to mind, the fediverse only via the feed from my loud subscriptions. I rarely browse manually. For when I do, I have infinite scrolling disabled.

One thing I like to do that isn’t really possible as easily on Lemmy and Piefed is to check who upvoted and/or boosted my comments. It’s really cool when I’m able to recognize someone. Helps the sense of community here too imo and makes people more memorable.

PS: I can’t remember if these posts in anyway get federated out to other platforms like mastodon or what not, but would still be interested in their respective answers too

If asklemmy is followed from Mastodon, the post is federated. However how discoverable it is depends on whether Lemmy lets you attach hashtags (and whether you’ve done so).

Check the system requirements for the game you want to play. If a PC meets or surpasses them, you’re fine, regardless what kind of PC it is.

I’d make the fediverse popular. The only correct answer imo.

Even if it would have been quicker to look it up, this is nostupidquestions, not asklemmy. The post is valid here.

There’s also an implied second question here which imo is harder to answer with a search engine, which is why people use such acronyms like everyone knows them.

Who knew

Many of us knew. That’s how projection works. Every accusation is a confession.

The problems are designed for programmers, but Project Euler comes to mind.

Why does the common sense is to punish rape with death/torture?

The death sentence is NOT common sense for anyone but monsters. Especially for rape.

Castration is the most extreme option imo, and even that should only be used as a last resort if there’s no other way to get the culprit to stop repeating the offence. There should definitely be prior efforts to correct their behavior via therapy or other measures before castration is considered.

Any Mbin instance lets you see people’s upvotes too. Though they sadly don’t show downvotes anymore.

If they’re federated, then you should be able to fetch them if you’ve got the URL. IDs in ActivityPub have to be dereferenceable iirc.

But like, even if they were only dereferenceable for a short time, the very act of federating the message would hand over the PM to outside the garden controlled by your instance. There’s no stopping the recipient from doing whatever they want with it.

For anyone reading this but not the article, the issue is that the AI interprets the query literally as a command to disregard the query. So Google’s AI does exactly that. The actual search works as normal, and Google didn’t ban or otherwise censor the word.

I’ve only ever seen it brought up about Switzerland (as “Swiss stare”), interesting to hear people do it in Germany too.

Still not entirely sure what exactly people mean with it though. Is it really just about looking at people? Do they not do that in other countries? I’ve always associated a “stare” with something more intense than just that.

AI slop is AI + slop.

Slop is low effort garbage with zero quality assurance put into it.

I know it already is but should it be?

In countries that care about their people, it isn’t. You do not have the freedom to intentionally hurt others, physically or verbally.

It’s a reality that not all niches have sufficient content here, so yes I’m in fact still using Reddit for select topics.

I still use Reddit for news, because the bigger userbase means a richer comment section. Which is the real advantage of this type of platform over RSS feeds from news sources.

I still use Reddit to participate in discussions in my native language.

I still use Reddit to follow leaks for the games I’m interested in.

I still use /r/redditalternatives and sometimes search the site for mentions of the fediverse in hopes I can help others come here. Also to represent and mention Mbin, since everyone on Reddit always forgets about it existing.

I also still use Discord instead of Fluxer because friends refuse to move despite me recreating our server 1:1 perfectly…

Other than that, I’m not using Reddit anymore, nor am I using other social media platforms.

I don’t think it makes any sense to keep investing in an old language, while writing code for today.

Then don’t go with Go either, shit is from 2009. That’s 16 years ago. If you care about age so much, go with something actually modern, not a slightly younger dinosaur.

But both of them keep getting updated, so this doesn’t really make sense as an argument anyway.

I came here when I wanted to show some solidarity for the API protests by not using Reddit until they’re over. Figured I’d take the chance to try out some alternatives, and stuck with /kbin, now Mbin.

I mean, you can just add the federation aspect. It’s opensource, the code is at your fingertips to change as you please.

You can’t fork Reddit

There’s an archive of an old version of Reddit’s code available on Github, so theoretically you can fork it, just not the latest version.
