You can't decide that kind of thing. If it doesn't happen organically, it won't take off.

Check your subscription list. It should be there

Mixplorer is the only answer

Centralizing kinda defeats the entire benefit of federation. It really isn't that hard to get used to multiple versions of a c/ name existing.

Anyone coming from reddit and expecting everything to be in a single spot is going to have to get past it eventually because it doesn't matter at all. You can try to lock this c/, and start elsewhere, but you don't own the name. You don't even own this c/, unless you're an alt account for thedude, who does own sh.itjust.works.

Your best bet is to keep moderating this c/ and let users figure out how lemmy and federation actually work rather than trying to lock things down that you literally can't lock down in the first place.

We all have to let go of reddit's way of doing things, and the sooner we do that, the better.

He did a heel turn.

He bought twitter after trying to wiggle out of the deal and then ruined it,, decided to go full right wing crazy, and consistently keeps trying to pretend he's not an idiot with a lot of money.

Check your spam folder. Gmail in particular is bad about that.

While downvotes don't mean much, in this specific case, it does.

You're so far off base from current reality of the c/ that it looks like you're either trolling or delusional. I doubt either is the case, but that's only because reddit has shown exactly how bonkers shit can get.

But there simply isn't a current problem with fake accounts. You can go through the votes taken and verify that the users who voted aren't a bunch of sock puppets. Or, if they are, whoever is running them has put in enough effort that I ain't even mad.

There may come a day when it's useful to figure out a hard deterrent to fake votes in the agora. It might not even be very long, if enough r/efugees come over. But that day isn't here yet. So far, things are working. There just aren't enough "empty" accounts voting to point to even a single user trying to sock puppet. It points more towards a handful of new users jumping in.

That's why your comment got hit, imo. It's why I down voted it. It took maybe twenty minutes to scroll through and check for empty accounts. You obviously didn't do so, or you wouldn't have made that response. You would have said something else, right?

I mean, I feel you. There was a vote on defederation of exploding heads that surprised me how strong the vote came out based on previous discussions around the instance. So I looked. I thought, maybe it was someone gaming things, or multiple people doing so. Gods know there's people crazy enough to put in the effort! But it just wasn't there.

I'm not seeing it, sorry. Not in the agora, anyway. And not in any numbers trying to sway votes.

[–] Zaphodquixote 2 points 1 year ago

It's opt in, not opt out, so you can decide to allow it or not.

[–] Zaphodquixote 1 points 1 year ago

Nah, you can export raindrop stuff. Or could, I haven't done it in a while because it syncs. They may have changed things though.

It really sucks.

It would be nice to have a decent Linux phone. Which, this one is decent. Only decent. But it's also almost 2 months of income for my crippled ass.

Did flagships even cost that much yet?

Have you tried megalodon? Does more than the official app, but with a similar layout so the learning curve is a non issue.
