Where will the internet go post-reddit and post-twitter?

    Basically: yes the dropdown menu appears, just as for usernames, but if you choose the item from the dropdown that you see, the Lemmy UI will do the wrong thing. My first link was made using the dropdown, while my second ignored the dropdown and just used the exclamation mark. Notice how my first link takes you to an entirely different instance? But the second link goes to the version of that community while keeping you on your same instance.

    Jumping in, but I'm very curious about this. I've never seen the dropdown menu not create "!community@instance.org" links.

    I am now taking my discussion.online alt to see, and with !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca, created from the dropdown, the link works as expected.

    How do you manage to get harcoded links from the dropdown?

  • Blaze Blaze 9mo ago 66%

    No of course not but I subscribe to the original Reddiquette philosophy. Downvotes arne’t for disagreement. They were originally a form of user-moderation to stop spam. Unfortunately about a decade ago after the Digg exodus the users of Reddit forgot that original usage and so you’d end up being downvoted and not knowing why. It doesn’t foster debate or discussion. It’s a cheap way to snipe someone down without being responsible or engaging them.

    Very true, and that's why I'm more and more inclined to use an instance without downvotes. With the report button available, downvotes just seem like a shortcut for hivemind.

  • I love Mastodon and ActivityPub. But I think Nostr is going to win. Here's why.

    Thank you for your insight. I feel like AP cares more about the community, while nostr is about the individual.

    Different kind of people will choose different approaches

    I agree. I could see Beehaw survive longer than most other Lemmy instances, their community feeling is much stronger.

    Lemmy's code isn't that easy to get into, otherwise there would be much more contributors to it.

    The third biggest contributor after the two main devs has 59 commits.

    Nice project. $249 seems a bit high, but I guess it's like the Fairphone, they can't save as much as the large manufacturers do.

    Good luck with this!

    Interestingly enough, I always thought that Blahaj had a !trans community as they are a queer instance at their core, but it seems it wasn't the case.

  • Hello everyone, Just wanted to post this announcement as I've seen a few people in an [!actual_discussion@lemmy.ca](https://lemmy.ca/c/actual_discussion) (the more serious pendant to [!casualconversation@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/casualconversation) ) complaining about the lack of filtering features for their feed. It is now possible in your accounts settings, last tab, which shows users, communities and instances you block. Hopefully that can be helpful to some people.

    Hello everyone, Small question for you: do you have any idea on when you will update to 19.3? There is an issue with upvotes federation between 18.5 and 19.3 at the moment

    Hello everyone, We were discussing with a friend the other day and how Covid has one good thing when it was there: the reduced amount of socialization. We are in our early 30s, so weekends get usually packed with one things on Friday evening, something on Saturday, sometimes Saturday evening too, and then you try to catch up with family on Sunday. In the end, even if it feels very good to see people, sometimes it can be quite tiring too. My current weekend was - a chill evening on Friday with a friend - nothing planned on Saturday until a social gathering at 6pm - nothing on Sunday And I feel fucking great. So that's it, just some random thoughts, what is your stance on the matter? Do you manage to keep time for yourself, or are you running from one event to another?
