No, the fact it's so complex is part of the problem. It's an interesting discussion to be had but it's not a Shower Thought.
A Shower Thought is something like "If Eminem’s Mom wanted to she could probably make a good amount of money selling her own spaghetti sauce" (stole this from Reddit). It's a random thought that comes to you, serves no real purpose but still just kind of lingers in your mind.
Unpopular opinion, but I'd consider it if the API provided all the data. I never expected the API to always continue to be free. But making me pay and providing incomplete data? Nah.
The good thing is I think most of these issues are a design issue that can be solved client side rather than fundamental flaws in the architecture.
For example, if you go to comment on a Beehaw thread and the app just showed some kind of prompt, e.g. "Sign-up to Beehaw or an instance federated with Beehaw to comment on this sublemmy" I think it would feel pretty straightforward.
All the confusion with how federation works is something a well designed app could explain to users as they explore. Obviously it will just take time for the platform to mature to this stage.
Reddit got filled with loads of casual users following the redesign. If you look at most people's profiles they have only had their account for a few years. I remember on Old Reddit, it felt like most people had had their accounts since almost the beginning. And also, EVERYONE knew what RES and third-party apps were and they were all using it.
I just think the userbase is completely different to what it once was.
Yep, give admins the tools they need to identify this activity so they can defederate accordingly. Seems like the only way.
You don't need Google Analytics to be crawled. You need Google Search Console integration to improve crawling.
I mean a single use email like Guerilla Mail. Perhaps those domains were blacklisted.
(Sorry for the duplicate post by the way, lemmy.world is really slow and I can't delete the duplicate)
Tried to join but looks like they don't accept disposable emails unfortunately.
Ah yes, let's become reliant on Reddit. I don't think this has ever gone wrong before.

Great, so even on Lemmy 'Shower Thoughts' are just statements.

Gesture and touch controls in general are much smoother in app compared to web browser.
Eh, I'd rather see the original title (even if it's clickbait) than "LTT Video 327" — that would get annoying and confusing quickly.
Might even be possible to parse the video with AI and get that to generate a title. Probably overkill though.
Just pay for Spotify... £10 for access to almost every song ever published. People need to appreciate how good they have it.
They are clearly itching to ban NSFW content site wide (paid API doesn't even include NSFW posts). This sort of thing might make a good excuse.
But at the same time, who is going to enforce that? The unpaid moderators you just fired? LOL
Allowing mods to pin comments was a mistake. Was always going to be abused.
I wondered the same. I imagine when they finish designing the process it will actually be cheaper to manufacture.
I don't think even most Reddit clients support this tbf

To be honest, that's how I feel about /r/casualuk and politics rule.
(Not going to share a political take don't worry mods), but everything is inherently political and so banning it feels disingenuous.

Why can I still see Beehaw posts though?
What's the difference between them defedersting an instance and just not federating with an instance in the first place?
