Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

just discovered mlmym.org (lemmy web client written in go that emulates the look of old reddit), see how our instance looks over there

I thought to myself "maybe once my reddit app dies I'll have a looksie at twitter for personalized news" and now twitter is throwing a hissy fit too

I have no idea where to go now, I'm still not sure how this site works

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Switching to "All" mode has not been a bad reddit replacement for me imo! On my feed literally right now: Why all of a sudden tech companies are not being favorable to their users? lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

think of it as it's own little reddit-like server. browse the communities (can toggle All or Local) and subscribe to anything interesting or newsy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

can toggle All or Local

oh shit now it's lookin more lively

thanks for the tip, I'll explore around a bit more

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

here is another tip that should be useful while browsing "all".

remember to make use of this colored star icon. it brings you to the instance a post originated from (so you won't see it on local posts).

now, for the explanation of why that is important…the best I can do is by comparison, so if it doesn't make sense to you, do ask for clarifications.

here it goes…federation on lemmy is like email, sometimes messages don't get through due to the server being unreachable. lemmy will try to resend those affected comments, but it can't keep doing so forever.

so if the server remains unreachable for too long, there will be comments that are not synchronized to it. besides that, if you are the first person to subscribe to a remote community, only the original posts are retrieved, new comments will come in as they are posted across the fediverse, but not old ones.

I guess (haven't really looked for a proof of it) what is guaranteed is you'll see nested comments in which users from your instance have participated in, but for others you'll have to keep in mind the possibility of there being comments that could be "missing".

which brings us to that colored icon, it is available for both original posts and comments. but I think it is more important for posts, if you click on it and see a comment on the source instance that has not synchronized properly to your instance, you can copy the url of the chain/link icon, switch back to your instance, and search for it.

that should force synchronize that particular comment (and its parent comments) over to your instance, and with that you'll be able to reply to a comment that was originally "missing". I hope this helps and isn't overly confusing. for more information, you can have a look at the lemmy documentation.

On IG Reel I saw excerpts of an interview with Taylor Swift where she was talking about her songwriting career.

  • She started songwriting at age 12 (she was just learning to play the guitar and her guitar teacher got her into songwriting too)

  • She was the youngest artist ever signed by Sony Music, at age 14.

One more day to the UOB Presale for Singapore Eras concert; 3 more days to general sale and Speak Now (Taylor's Version) release.

It's good that she's so talented but truly her rezeki is because her parents can kaw2 support her sampai pindah to be nearer to Nashville

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ya i've thought about success in this kind of context too. Michael Schumacher is/was also similar.

Raw talent, was in the right place to develop that talent at the right age (nashville and europe), physical attributes (she's cute as a button. and he's light and fit enough to be competitive in carts), parents' support (and often, their wealth), mental fitness etc.

When someone has all these attributes it's stacking multiple compounding boosts and they become absurdly successful.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Textbook case of privilege - good fortune is not a bad thing, but it truly can give that extra boost. Unless you're super talented, and super hardworking and fits the job you want e.g. Oprah. Or else can cincai do stuff and still be successful... Like uh... 🦆 scarves hahahaha

Hey guys, I just made an account here after hearing that making an account on the lemmy instance nearer your location would improve loading times. It is true loading speeds are great but I am seeing only few of the communities from other instances. For example I can't find the [email protected] over here on monyet.cc Why is that so?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's available via this link.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The federation is quite wonky so you ought to try typing the whole url in the search bar, and try it a few times. First time i do this i tried searching for woodworking on lemmy world, have to try refreshing a few times before it connect.

Iirc someone mentioned that they have to copy the other instance into this server so you could visit it, maybe that's the reason it couldn't connect because it hasn't done copying yet. But once you done so, other people will have easier time visiting that community.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yep it takes some time to copy it over.

when searching for communities, watch out for the couldnt_find_object error, that can mean you've got the url syntax wrong, usually (also the error doesn't appear every time, and I've only seen it in the browser not apps, but when it does you should double check the url)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Is it just me or that the quality of comments on r/Malaysia are getting worst? Actually reddit as a whole is getting shittier by day for me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

This is why we take refuge here 🙏

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seems like a lot of the ppl still active now are the “we don’t need Nazi mods” types haha

"you can't stop us from posting content we stolen from facebook and twitter and tiktok!!!"

Cue my username

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's the reason i left. People have zero critical thinking now, i don't even bother to comment anymore.

Been using wefwef, it’s pretty slick. Very similar to Apollo. Just that lemmy.world, kbin.social and monyet.cc are still quite slow and underpopulated right now so not a lot of content.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Tambah content time! Oh that reminds me to promote this instance brb

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Aiya, still quite early mah. Reddit didn't took off until years later. At the mean time why not post some meme or food or cat pic 👀

Ever find it amusing that Americans don't call it "July 4th" like how they usually read out dates?
