From my 10 year reddit experience, hardly anyone reads the sidebar until shoved down the throat.

I'm expecting the same from recent reddit refugees.

Although one could argue having a DM pop in right after sign up and they would ignore it as well. Projection from me, but that's what I did when I subbed to a subreddit that has a welcoming DM. I don't doubt others do to.

To the defense of the me turned instances, there's only so much admins can do. Leading a horse to the water and all, as the saying goes

Purple is one of my favorite colors, so it always gets a like from me.

Looks great.

Would be lovely if you have some source or something to read about.

Consider my interest piqued. I gave the Wikipedia page a skim and it seems like a good starting point

IMO it's gatekeeping. I got the feeling there's a group in the threadiverse that don't want reddit refugees.

To them, it's a feature, not a bug

If I understand it right, this is a feature developed from inception on Piefed. I'll just say it here: it's like multireddits. They have default comm group feed, at least on piefed.social. But you also can make your own group feed. Just like multireddit.

I personally would move to a piefed instance once it's more developed and have more choices for front end client / mobile app, since that's the biggest thing I miss from reddit.

Edit: and IIRC piefed also group same posts from different duplicate / similar comms into one "post".

If we are aliens' experiments or zoo, they better come down here right now before we extinguish ourselves lol

Ah you're right. I guess I was too focused on "hide read" after it has been read. Didn't think it actually has to have a function to be marked as read first.

 

I tried looking for any similar issues on GitHub. haven't tried to search on this comm. Couldn't find out how using the app, at least.

Is this feature on the roadmap? I'd like to have it since that's how I used sync for reddit back then and now how I browse Lemmy using Thunder.

I'm loving this trend but it's a pain not having a hashtag that I know of

I personally like tesseract than alexandrite for desktop, although that's not listed in that page I linked

unfortunately the tesseract dev is calling it quits because of burning out with Lemmy development.

it is a fork of photon either way, so when something broke if tesseract truly won't be updated, I'll probably use that instead

that's good news then. but it wasn't when I looked way back idk 3 weeks ago?

that's not the main reason I wanted to jump ship though. it's the defederation that pushes me to try other lemmy and even mbin instances.

I'm not surprised you said it's the latter. I would say the same before I got professional treatment for my depression-turned-out-BPD2 diagnosis.

now I'm keen to answer it's both. mood own, something I really like could raise my mood, but it also could prevent me from even consume it, for example

it depends in whether its low or high energy emotion, and whether it's unpleasant or pleasant
