Simplest is use /etc/hosts to set up names, if there are just a few.

Did you just discover this? It’s a Microsoft site after all.

Sort by newest first.

They want to obsolete all our phones again? No thanks.

There is already a subscribed tab, and I use it most of the time when I want to catch up on selected topics. I use the local or all feed when I want to browse a wider view of what’s going on in general. Right now the total amount of Lemmy traffic is small enough that browsing that way is tolerable, which it wouldn’t be e.g. on reddit.

I do think that the Lemmy software design is more meme-oriented than I’d prefer, because of stuff like the thumbnail pic with every post in the main feeds. The more interesting parts of reddit to me were text-only and we don’t have that here.

I’d like the feed to be adjusted so that if there are a bunch of posts from the same community not too far apart from each other chronologically, to group them all together. Alternatively, a way to block communities showing in your front page view without blocking them completely. It’s not just memes, there are a bunch of other topics that also clutter up the front page constantly. Even things like news reports in Dutch, which are perfectly legit except I can’t read them, would be less annoying with this type of feature.

Wait you mean you don’t cook the oats? Oats (the old fashioned 30 minute kind) cook nicely for me in 4 minutes in an instant pot, but no cooking sounds even better.

Well what phone is it? There are tons of music playing programs on f-droid. Why not just run one? I’ve been using Vanilla Music. I don’t like it that much, but don’t feel like derping around trying more and more of them. Vanilla is better than some others that I tried.

If you can manage programmers, then yes. Everyone says that’s just like herding cats.

Large ones can be a pain and I’ve generally converted those to other formats even it’s at some cost in disk space.

How well do you think the federation model is working, in terms of cultural dynamics, more defederations than I would have expected to see, etc.? I’m not counting technical glitches that I assume will get sorted out over time.

Propeller beanies as formal and business attire.

Ny guess is they imagine it becoming like YouTube, where some popular tubers can monetize their channels and sometimes make a living. But that is also how Medium and Substack would, and both lose money and suck at the same time.

I do, see https://www.covidisairborne.org/ for tons of info on why we all should.

I only read a few paragraphs so you are more persistent than me. I wonder if it is AI generated.

Lemmy is more picture oriented, like Instagram sort of. Reddit at least I’d you used old and shut off custom css, was more textual. -1 for Lemmy there I’m afraid.

There’s tons of memes and stuff, but I was never into that, so meh. My thing was specialized nerd groups and they are mostly not here yet. With time, maybe they will come.

Usenet still exists, but needs revitalization. It might as well be us.

In America we use BBQ English.
