I agree, yours is simpler and to the point. It gets the general idea across quicker. The links for blaze would be follow up things people would look into.

Brand new option I was unaware of. Thank you!

What specific feature is this? Do you all mean how a post you’ve read is a darker color when you go back, or are there different scrolling gestures options? (Not the swiping ones)

I think the uphill battle here is that a good amount of the active users on lemmy are probably very tech savvy. The percentage of us who aren’t, are doing it wrong in their eyes.

I blocked a lot of news communities, because it was just consuming my feed, so I also missed when this happened.

Do we have a percentage of people who visit reddit on a computer vs phone? I assumed by now most of them used a phone, so those same people would keep using phone apps.

I assumed most apps already do this? I believe the voyager app defaults to lemm.ee now because .world is large

I’ve mentioned a list with info of some nature a few times, with people shutting down the idea. It always boiled down to “the instances may lie about what their instance is about”. In their heads what their write may be the truth, even if it isn’t. This would leave it up to a third party to make summaries of these instances, which may or may not be agreed upon. There may be too many drastic and conflicting ideologies.

I didn’t know that. That’s really good.

It should probably the default suggestion or selection now.

Besides smaller complaints (every instance has their issues). .world has gotten too large. Many people have suggested that it close its doors for now so other instances can catch up.

Given that I’ve waited 3 weeks to join his smaller instance of pixelfed.art, I can tell things are already piling up. I am hoping the kickstarter does help.

It does give me hope, but I also worry it may be a double edged sword and opening pandora’s box. There are way too many ideologies here that aren’t democracy. Given how easy the public was brain washed by Trump, I fear this may be an avenue to expose those people to things that probably shouldn’t even be crossing their minds.

It’s mostly people just talking about BlueSky, so no. I’ve had to be the one who explains the federated apps.

I’ve though about this since the Civil War movie came out. While I’d love for the blue states to leave together, wouldn’t that just put all the weapons of mass destruction in the hands of a new all red US country? That seems like a dangerous idea.

Another issue would be a case where the new red country goes to shit, and they decide they want to force the blue states back in and steal the land. We’d be locked in an infinite war worse than what Ukraine is facing.

I looked it up after the movie and it was done on purpose. The goal of the movie was to show how bad the glorification of this kind of photography and events can be. The creators of the movie thought it would have more impact and get the point across better if it was on US soil. Seeing a downed helicopter in a place you’d normally be shopping for instance. They made texas and california join together, because they didn’t want audiences bogged down trying to figure out who is blue, red, purple, right or wrong.

As you’ve seen from other comments the short answer is that it doesn’t exist. Honestly the most civilized place I’ve come across is on Tildes, which is not federated and an even smaller community. But it has the charm of earlier reddit days where people actually liked speaking with one another.

Anyone have success joining pixelfed.art? Still waiting to get approved over a week later.

I believe Facebook’s name came from an actual thing. The company was created for college students. Many campuses, would give face books that had students and professors from the universities.

I agree. We first need to get the broader communities with activity before they can branch out. If things are too spread out, it will limit growth
