Looking at it on my desktop right now, I'm seeing everything I'd expect, for both local and federated communities. Most typically lately, I'm browsing on my phone, but that's just hitting my instance directly via mobile Firefox, not using an app, so I can't imagine that would have meaningfully different results.
Sounds most likely that this is just a perceptual thing where I'm not consciously realizing that communities Y and Z are posting way more frequently than community X, making me feel like I'm "missing" posts from X that are then trivially found when I go to X directly.
I'll keep an eye out for this a bit more consciously for the next little while and see if that's what's actually going on.
I'm sorting by New. My expectation was a linear chronological feed of posts across all subscribed instances. And yeah, I'm still missing some posts in that view.
Yeah, this is me. Coming up on two decades in game dev, and I've always cared way more about building things that are genuinely robust and also make sense to humans, but everyone just wants "fast and cheap", thinks documentation is a waste of time ("you can just talk to people"), doesn't understand "tech debt" as a concept at all, and refuses to prioritize tools work because "it's not player-facing".
Do not, under any circumstances, attach your sense of self-worth to your games.
Never make game development your identity. Let it be a thing you do, not a thing you are.
Build a community outside of game development as soon as possible, even if you're an introvert. You won't understand why this is so important until the day you need it and don't have it.
This is the first I've ever heard of Fossil, and it honestly seems really interesting! Having the executable be both the local CLI for working on the repo and the server for providing the whole GitHub-esque suite of services in a trivially self-hostable fashion is kind of galaxy brain.
I recently switched to sorting by New, which sounds insane coming from Reddit, but Lemmy is much smaller right now, and New is actually viable and interesting.
I'm sure with more growth that will change, but it's definitely kept my feed fresher and more interesting than either Active or Hot.
(This does of course assume that you're subscribed to a reasonable number of communities you're interested in.)
I have seen other services include an explicit SSO link under the user/pass form, which IMO is clearer what's actually going on, but I'm sure that structure hopelessly confuses lots of less technical users, too.
I'm one of the newer transplants from Reddit, but for the last several years I've only been a lurker there, because I haven't felt like I really fit in with those communities and that culture well enough to fully engage.
Lemmy feels different, in similar fashion to how Mastodon felt so different from Twitter when I switched over there a year so back. I haven't looked back on Twitter, and I doubt I'll look back on Reddit. The water's way nicer over here, for me.
I do think it'll take a while for most of the disruptive newcomers to fully bounce off the Lemmy/Fediverse culture, but I also do think they will eventually bounce off it, as long as we all stick to our guns in terms of the culture we want to build, the rules with which we want to govern our communities and servers, and the social norms we want to tolerate.
There are just going to be 1973629092 tedious arguments about defederation between here and there. 🙄
For three years now, I've put in real low scores and real critical comments on these things, and literally everyone I know at work says they've done the same (we are all so stressed) but then next quarter comes along and the execs share the survey results and wouldn't you know it, engagement is great, the best it's ever been, no problems here!
I was frustrated by certain aspects of how my team was run, so when that position became available, I applied for and moved into it, thinking I could make some changes that would make the team function better.
I did make some of those changes and they have helped, but I've also found it really challenging to carry responsibility for delivering things that I can't work on directly. I used to solve problems by writing code; it's much different to solve problems by coaching people.
I do have stronger relationships with my colleagues now, since I spend more time communicating with them vs. being head-down in code all the time, and that's kind of nice, but I'm definitely missing the hands-on work
I really like this design. Well done!

All software is rushed software.

omg the absolute
v i b e son that thing 🤩I've been out of the loop for the last ~5 weeks. What's PV?
This is amazing ♥️
Linux has entered the chat.
You can do what đź‘€

Ah yeah, this makes sense.
I have seen other services include an explicit SSO link under the user/pass form, which IMO is clearer what's actually going on, but I'm sure that structure hopelessly confuses lots of less technical users, too.
Yeah, I see this one happen occasionally, and it makes me marginally less grouchy.
Following hashtags was a game-changer for me, for sure.
