Yeah I definitely think it could work if it’s done the right way There are some much needed functionalities that Lemmy has yet to offer that will make it easier to stand up instances like this (easier customization, better cross-posting, better admin/mod tools, and clearer documentation). But the idea is great and it could work with some patience and hard work across various different players in the lemmy game.

Great idea! Will be checking it out soon. A few communities I am moderating on lemmy.world are:

• NY Giants
• New England Revs
• XFL
• North Carolina FC

Would be interested to see how crossover might work between instances.

Yeah, dang - thanks for pointing that out. I fixed it.

If I could add you myself I would. I’ll check back in a couple days to remind you. Every vote for seltzer counts.

Not me but my wife. If she is having trouble falling asleep I always remind her to play Futurama on her phone then she is out like a light in ~10 minutes.

I think from a business perspective a third-party app is still competition only in the sense that they are pulling away “numbers” from their own app, views, analytics, marketers. Even if they aren’t direct competition it’s something that they are competing against in a different sense. But your point is still correct - these apps are participating and aiding in a beneficial way even if it can’t be quantified by their financial / marketing / product departments.

I mean FREE is the best discount you can get sooo… YOINK!

Yep, and sometimes it can be triggered by “intending” to leave the site either by navigating away from the cart or moving your cursor towards the tab’s “X” button - you don’t always have to close out of the tab.

I should have clarified that I use it for remote work. I have a Vortex POK3R 60% keyboard for in-office work with Cherry MX reds. I might have to check out the Silent Peach ones - those are tempting.

If they are so pro-capitalist then why are they not OK with competition then?

Yes - added some “Why YSK” details. Thanks!

Both are possible depends on the context. For longer checkout experiences where email capture occurs (post-credit card entry, clicking into cart and completing shipping details, creating an account, or any similar step) a sales rep/ marketing associate might reach out. There are a lot of websites or apps that will detect a user leaving a page (exit intent) or closing a dialog and that may trigger additional discounts, as well… no email required in those cases.

That’s a solid additional tip there - mostly works in cases where an email is involved.

It’s up to the writer. Exactly. It’s also important to remember to pick one way of doing it and do it that way consistently throughout the work you are writing for.
