So Firefox is basically the GOAT when it comes to internet security and privacy? They should team up with the signal guys.

And now it’s free with stuff like Let’s Encrypt.

Now you can try to get chatgpt to explain what it does. Or Facebooks code llama.

I mean in the main feed, as opposed to the subs/community subscriptions tab. I’d like to use it for content exploration, similar to how I would use /r/all on Reddit, but with memes filtered out.

I don’t know if this can be adjusted at the platform level, but is it possible you could put in a filter for meme posts? That is 85% of my feed, and I’d really like to minimize them as much as possible.

I come to Reddit(and now Lemmy) for discussions rather than memes, and the content I’m looking for just doesn’t appear in my feed at all really. It would be great if there was a way to filter out or diminish the quantity of those types of posts. Reddit has flair, which makes it easy to filter that way. I’m not sure if Lemmy has something comparable that would allow easy filtration like that.

Unfortunately until it’s implemented I just can’t bring myself to use Lemmy full time. It’s too chaotic content wise, but once it’s implemented I may fully switch over.

This should solve that when it gets implemented.

There’s not a good way to control what content I see. It’s essentially either “everything” or “a single community”. On Reddit, you could already have multiple communities about the same topic on Reddit, but usually one was dominant, and you had multireddits to save you if there truly are a few good related subreddits. Now on Lemmy, you multiply that problem by N instances, and subtract the multireddit feature. This situation simply must be made better somehow.

Lemmy needs to be easier to use. Finding and following communities is far too complicated.

We need to get this proposal implemented. It would pretty much solve the issue.

Community grouping. It would massively increase the available content, and make lemmy much easier to browse.

Yeah for real, this is my experience every time installing any package. Idk what the problem, but dealing with anything out of the discover store is a nightmare

Anti-piracy advocates ALWAYS make this ridiculous analogy, there are infinite copies of the software which you aren’t depriving anyone of, but there is a physical good in the car of which you are depriving.

I think we need decentralized search, or rather federated search if possible. Something akin to Lemmy and kbin for search. I’m not sure what the implementation would look like, but it needs to happen I think.

As is tradition

Im using the Jerboa, official Lemmy mobile app on Android

I hopped over here permanently tonight. Uninstalled boost on my phone, and I made Lemmy.ml my homepage. Reddit is just too depressing right now to keep it as my default.

When you go to sign up there is a note that says you must fill an application and be approved.

I’m saying there should be an box/non-clickable banner on this page on the opposite side of the box from the join button which indicates whether a server has open registration or not. Just a simple visual tag, nothing complex.

And it probably serves as a deterrent.

Precisely, and I don’t necessarily think that is a positive thing. I can understand if Lemmy servers don’t have the system resources to maintain a large simultaneous userbase as a reason to keep them invite only, since unlike something like Reddit it’s decentralized, and therefore many servers would not be able to afford sufficient hosting to accommodate such a large userbase, at least initially.

However, if the Lemmy network’s goal is to grow quickly and gain adoption, putting an artificial impediment in front of users wanting to register seems counter to that goal.

Gotcha, so basically they’re detached from the main network and thus don’t appear in other users feeds?
