  • I updated my original comment, it seems there was a hiatus to development. As of 2 days ago, he’s working on getting parity with .09. I’d say it is being developed, just not on great timelines. But I’ve had his stuff on Reddit, I’ve had it here. Fairly sure it’s just one dude. Maybe I’m too patient, or my expectations too low, but I’ve been fine with it. I think someone mentioned spoiler tags don’t work, but I’ve seen that maybe half a dozen times in a year, so it doesn’t really register to me.

    Would every version change of Lemmy necessitate an update to the app, if it’s just background stuff to lemmy and federating stuff? I’m hardly an expert, but if the information is packaged in a practical way to the app, changes to lemmy versions wouldn’t necessarily require an app update unless there were changes to the protocol, I imagine? Looking at the changelog for 8 and 7 wouldn’t look like it would effect the app, or cause it to miss features.

    Not to say you are wrong or me right; he was always responsive and on it with the Reddit app, so my overall experience may have me biased towards his side with less justification.





  • I left Reddit because of the 3rd party app ban. The core ethos of the Fediverse was not what was appealing for me. It is a feature, to be sure, but it wasn’t why I came here. I just like the Reddit format, and aside from Reddit, I don’t know anywhere that aggregates content and discussion on the scale Reddit does (aside from this side of Fediverse now). If it wasn’t the 3rd party applications, I definitely would be jumping ship with the current censorship, so leaving was inevitable.

    With Bluesky, I just do not care about it. If Bluesky didn’t exist, I wouldn’t have a Mastodon account. I only had a Twitter account because my brother and friend told me in college that if I didn’t make one, they would make one on my behalf to tweet about me and my daily stuff, lol. Bluesky could come out 3 hours from now and announce that it will donate all revenue to the GOP, and I’d just delete the account and be done with the format. It’s purely a protest account, and I landed on Bluesky instead of Mastodon in the moment. And because I don’t care about that format, I have no reason to want to migrate the account to Mastodon. And, if I somehow do come to care about that format in the future, I’d rather start completely over on Mastodon than have an old account with old stuff on it.

    Idk why anyone argues it. I’m on it, but only because I want to support Not Twitter®. I’m there to just be user no. 1663987 who doesn’t want to be on Twitter. I post a stupid thought, some sports commentary, and scroll the feed for a minute or two. If it went away tomorrow, I’d have 0 negative effects on my life in even the most miniscule way.

    Like…I like it there, and people seem to want an alternative to Twitter pretty bad, but idk if Bluesky is it. But I also don’t care to join Mastodon, as this kinda format isn’t something I care about or take seriously, and I’d rather get information here. If I get a Mastodon account in the future, though, I’d rather not have it tied directly back to my spite posting account lol





  • I mean, if no one is reporting it, they likely aren’t sitting around checking posts every 15 min. Ones that stay up may just be missed; they aren’t notified about any posts through Lemmy simply by being a mod, so unless they see the post themselves, it may just get missed. I missed a post on a sub I mod for 2 weeks; not that it didn’t fit the community, it just didn’t come up in the feed and I don’t always go manually check the sub feed.

    Not that deep or dire
