Another traveler of the wireways.
Misskey is fascinating and in my opinion more compelling than Mastodon. It’s also strange to see them write “somehow” as I’d think with their instance and username they would be aware that Misskey is developed in Japan, by a Japanese developer.
At this point these abortion bans should be called Matricide Approvals
Exactly. The need/desire to write longer form like this may not come up as often with other more immediate means to communicate, but when it does, email’s there to serve its purpose.
Alongside others mentioned (tags/flairs, multi-communities, keyword filtering, etc.) another feature I’d like to see added/improved is notification settings.
Something like…
In account settings:
For others’ posts/comments and per posts/comments:
With those settings you could more easily tune out all notifications or only opt into those you’d like to see, and opt out of those you’re done with (say your post/comment got popular and you’ve had your fill from the replies).
Unrelated to notification settings, it would also be nice to be able to block communities from the front page via the … More menu in the default web UI.
“Behold, I’m a unicorn!”
It will still raise eyebrows because that’s not how it’s said.
At least not yet, or by enough to recognize that it is (by some, somewhere!). There’s bound to be an accent somewhere that pronounces it like this to where the “normal” way sounds strange 😂
fwiw this is poking more fun at the other person that said this in reply to you, which is why I spelled it your(s and another person’s) way
Hey speaking of, while !games@lemmy.world is a great example, if you’re not finding similar communities for your interest, feel free to post over in !general@lemmy.world for what Zombiepirate’s describing.
Hobby without a community around here? Just not really sure if an existing community is open to non-news posts? General’s got ya covered.
Going against the post’s spirit, but…If you’re not finding a community for your interests (or only finding abandoned/inactive ones), and don’t want to create one (or try to get existing ones going), you’re welcome over in !general@lemmy.world. Post about whatever, find likeminded folks, then if ya think there’s enough of ya, you can make a separate community without it being one person posting into a void.
Also there’s !justpost@lemmy.world. Similar vibes.
Their other comment elaborates on this more:
Until the link /c/books shows any user, with only one click, the aggregate of all “books” communities in a single place, without subscribing or even logging in. Then lemmy will stagnate because it is failing to live up to its promise of federated decentralization
They want a link like /c/books to work like multireddits did on reddit to collect together books-related communities for improved browsing and discovery.
To add to this, I think as long as decentralization involves having to know how to and have the money to operate a server, it’s not going to reach the point some may hope for. The monetary costs may be lower than ever, but that doesn’t address the knowledge requirements (not to mention time for setup and upkeep).
Even one of the more user friendly attempts at this so far (AT Protocol) doesn’t address this in a meaningful way, as one still has to get into the weeds of server config, domain leasing, etc.
For people finding you, it means having to interact more in ways that encourage them to follow/subscribe to you, similar to how it goes now. For you finding stuff, it’s also similar in that you’d want to follow/subscribe to those that introduce you to others to follow/subscribe to. It’s really more for those that don’t mind putting forth effort to have their own online social space, much like the setup involved in having any online space.
Appreciate the writeup! Reading towards the end, it sounds like a good idea would be to fully discharge the controller’s battery before disassembly to avoid some of the risk during reassembly, supposing it’s functional enough to power on for that. Also given the possible parts loss, disassembling over a bowl or similar might help prevent losing anything. Honestly it’s a good idea anyway just for holding screws.
Also for any interested in some visuals, iFixit has a teardown video here.
Friendly heads-up, link’s running into a lemmy quirk, has to have the https:// in there, so: [dbu](https://dbu-rpg.com). Without backslash: dbu.
Wasn’t aware of DBU RPG, so that’s cool to learn about!
Besides this, I’m still looking into & trying to decide whether I’d want to get more into writing. Last year around this time I wrote a few short stories for !lemmyscareyou@lemmy.world, but not as interested in that this time
Thinking I should take a break from thinking on that and maybe watch some stuff or play some games, but indecisive, so instead posting this. 😅
You might be thinking of Solid led by Sir Tim Berners-Lee.
When preserving culture is criminal, or punishable, ya might want to reevaluate your laws
In the meantime, people are gonna do it anyway 'cause why ask permission to back up and preserve your own stuff? And when the law finally catches up, some will be grateful to those that did so despite the earlier wrongful laws that tried to discourage them.
Added a few new communities.
!poetry@lemmy.world has been added under creative communities>writing and humanities>literary arts
!patientgamers@sh.itjust.works has been added under entertainment>playing (not sure why I didn’t have this one to begin with tbh, sorry about that!)
!shortstories@literature.cafe has been added under creative communities>writing and entertainment>reading and listening
we can go further, somethingsomething StreetPass
