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
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".
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.
Like, can you name an example that's not federated with LW but federated with a large amount of other instances?
No I can't, and if I'm trying to pull something from my memory it would be disingenuous.
From what I have learned, I prefer to use instances like lemm.ee or lemmy.zip for example for lemmy. Which they hardly defederate with instances, but I block the communities or instances I don't want to see.
On the plus side of opinionated instances though, new users can just get an already curated view of the threadiverse going with them, so less work to themselves blocking whatever they don't like.
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
from a content discovery and interaction aspect, lemmy.world has its fair share of federation fights. this would mean you wouldn't see content from instances that defederated them, nor will users from those instances see yours
and from the aspect of the software of Lemmy itself, it's not up to date. I personally am not sure what that entails, but it's probably not good

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

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.
