  • Can you make this pop up also appear if you tap “posts” at the bottom if you are already in “posts”

    If I am browsing and then I accidentally hit the “posts” tab at the bottom it reverts back to the communities list away from my current browsing. In my mind tapping this posts button when I’m already viewing a feed should do nothing as I am already viewing posts but instead it acts like the communities button at the top so this pop up or a change in behaviour would be greatly appreciated for me :)





  • That is the thing, I am into what is quite a niche genre and it is very “exclusive” within the scene let alone encompassing multiple streaming platforms. Half of the stuff that gets released does so in limited runs of often 100 - 500 vinyl copies which i fucking hate personally as to me it is just the wanky scene “heads” creating a false sense of rarity to jack each other off over which tracks they own on an inferior media type in a genre that is electronic music. It is all made on computers so it isnt like digital copies dont exist.

    But I digress this attitude within that scene adds another layer of a lot of the people into it being at best apathetic towards things like digital and streaming and as such everything that does get released usually does so only on Spotify. Dont get me wrong there are plenty of labels and artists that do support the digital release side of it well but even everything that is release digitally to buy won’t get released on streaming platforms.

    I regularly search the libraries of alternatives but so far the selection for me does not get even close to what is released on Spotify. I try my best to buy what music I can via bandcamp and that is my primary music platform (just take a look at my post history) but I dont have a lot of money so music is not a priority for where it gets spent.

    I conversely see a lot of people say what you have just said and I think that is a product of having either a more mainstream taste or just being into genres that embrace streaming more than my specific tastes. I dont believe supporting the platform will help in my case because it is down to the artists to choose what platform they are on and they generally seem to be resistant to that in the first place.


  • Good to know for the future, thanks! Did it at least supply you with a good quality flac as that is the main draw away from Spotify for me currently as I can only get 320 mp3s from Spotify.

    Tidal is the only one I haven’t checked the library for so far but to be honest my expectation is low as the artists I listen to never list tidal as a streaming service they use. Mainly Spotify and rarely deezer is what I tend to see.

    YouTube music has great selection but trash quality.








  • So I found a way to reliably replicate this issue. After a reply and it shifts to the smaller version with black borders if I open another reply it will shift back to how it should look, cancelling out of the reply will then zoom out to the smaller version with black borders again. Great!

    So I have screen recorded me doing this but watching the recording back the issue does not present in the recording. I have no idea why but I’m kind of at a loss with that!



  • If it isn’t foggy you shouldn’t be using fog lights. This is part of the issue, a lot of people use them in conditions that aren’t foggy and they blind oncoming road users because they don’t have a pattern of light that is designed to be angled away from the opposite side of the road, they instead flood the road with light. This can be helpful in fog but shouldn’t be used in not foggy conditions, and definitely not to try and out light other peoples lights.

    Granted the other half of the problem is the absurdly bright lights they put in vehicle headlights these days as well but you would be better off getting some glasses with some lenses that take that glare away so as to be able to drive around in a safer manner rather than trying to have brighter lights than the other person, you are just perpetuating the problem doing that.
