Can other instances see it?

Awesome! Loading issues are still the bane of Lemmy’s existence though, or at least it is for me and my experience with Lemmy. Everything just loads so slow. Sorting is still broken as well. Communities that I KNOW that are active just show as blank for me no matter what I sort by.

I’m going through and literally downloading and testing every app for Lemmy, and Liftoff is really cool so far. One thing I’ve noticed is direct image uploading; are images hosted on Imgur, or somewhere else? And is direct video uploading being considered?

Oh, I never knew that about Reddit. That said, it’s happening for communities on Lemmy that are populated/active, like this one for example. Lemmyworld shows as a blank community when I sort by Top Day.

Is this why there’s still a ton of slowness on Lemmy despite the slowness said to be resolved? Because I still can’t efficiently use Lemmy, if I’m being honest.

Also, has the Top Day sorting become broken? A community will show as blank for me now when I sort by Top Day.

I have a feeling they’re cracking down on personal subreddits due to their own loophole in the upcoming change to NSFW content. If I interpreted everything correctly, Mods still get to see the full range of NSFW content, meaning seeing NSFW content even in subs that they aren’t a Mod in, whereas regular Reddit users are restricted.

In any case, I find it ironic that they talk about the duty of being a Moderator with such importance, and yet Mods aren’t even paid, AND… it’s quite a common thing that many subs have wildly corrupt Mods. I’ve no joke been PERMANENTLY banned from certain subs for criticizing a movie, a recent episode in a TV show, etc, and I wasn’t even a member of the sub for more than 24 hours. Like, ok, maybe I’m being a bit more harsh in my criticism than others, but when did it become a crime to have an opinion?

Sigh

I’m sorry that you have to deal with dogshit people trying to tear you down. It’s so sad how people try their hardest to make the world worse rather than attempting to make it better. I’d honestly say just fuck the internet and go live life. This whole thing with Reddit has opened my eyes a lot. There’s just no need to be on the internet. Simply put, the internet is just noise.

Thank you for your work 🫡

I’ve been IP banned 😂

I’m not even a Mod. I’m simply a regular user, who relied on the various Third Party Apps, who expressed support of the protests.

And yet Bozo himself, Steve Huffman, said the protests were of no serious manner, and yet Reddit Admins are using the full weight of their power to silence people who go against what they say.

I’ve been trying to get into RSS even before Reddit went to shit, however the problem with RSS, or at least for me, is that I’m genuinely struggling to see ONLY the things that I WANT to see. With Apple for example, I ONLY want to be notified of new iOS updates, but every feed that I can find pushes out articles for everything Apple related, which is not what I want.

Have any recommendations for apps that allow tags and/or filters? I’d rather not be notified of every post on a subreddit but rather posts based around keywords, if that’s possible.

I seem to be on an IP watchlist for Reddit now lmao. Any new account gets instantly banned now. I’ll get the first message welcoming me to Reddit, and then immediately after I get the permanently suspended message. And this all started just from my support of the Blackout and saying subs should absolutely go private indefinitely. So yeah, suffice to say Reddit is a dump.

And in all honesty I was already slowly distancing myself from Reddit before shit popped off. The internet is simply noise. There are things that I like to keep updated with, but a lot of it is just noise. Discussions are more like arguments nowadays, so what do I even gain from publicly making a comment on a topic? Nobody gives a fuck whether or not I’m going to play that new video game, watch that new movie, etc., and the feeling is mutual because I know I don’t give a shit about what people do either.

Anyway, sorry for the rant. Quick question about RSS though: is there any apps that can filter by keywords? So like, only send me notifications when it picks up something that matches the words that I want. Like, if I follow r/Apple for example, I’d want to be notified of new iOS updates.

I don’t want to be on Reddit anymore, but the slowness on Lemmy was stopping me from fully committing.

Every time spez speaks he literally contradicts himself. I genuinely can’t even comprehend the shit that he spews. He literally says multiple contradictory statements in the same sentence. It’s like watching someone know they can’t win an argument, so instead they just spew random shit hoping something lands.

There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

It’s so funny how they’re actually panicking all while Spez-tard continues to say the protest isn’t making an impact at all. I genuinely feel bad for the people in this dude’s life that have to put up with him.

Reddit app is fine for me. Y’all some cry babies.

Reddit app lacks efficient Mod tools and accessibility settings.

That’s not my problem.

This is the attitude of Reddit rn. Shit’s disgusting in all honesty. It’s genuinely depressing how people try their hardest not to push the world to be better.

It was confusing at first

The confusion never went away. Beehaw defederated, so I understand that you would then have to create a specific Beehaw account in order to engage with Beehaw communities, but why would I want to as a Lemmy.world user, is what I’m confused about.

I was already slowly distancing myself from Reddit before shit popped off. It’s just noise. The internet is simply noise. There are things that I like to keep updated with, but a lot of it is just noise.

I also found myself questioning more and more why I give a shit in the first place to comment on things. Like, there’s just no reason for it. Nobody is asking for my opinion specifically, and really what do I gain from it anyway? Discussions are more like arguments nowadays, so what do I even gain from publicly making a comment on a topic? Nobody gives a fuck whether or not I’m interested in going to the theater over the weekend and seeing the new XYZ movie, or even what my opinions are of that movie, and the feeling is mutual because I know I don’t give a shit either.

The bigger, sadder problem is that it would actually work. There’s never been a more divided time in the world than now. You’d think everyone would see how disgraceful Reddit’s actions have been and want nothing to do with the platform anymore, but realistically not everyone cares. It’s already happening where you can simply tell mods that they aren’t being paid for their time and instead of them thinking logically, they go ahead and ban you to silence you.

A big issue that I’m constantly having is that, I fully open a post and read it, and then all of a sudden the post has switched to an entirely new one. It has happened a few times now during my time typing this comment; here’s a screenshot of it.

I can be typing out a reply to a comment in a post, and then all of a sudden the post has switched to an entirely new one and now the comment that I’m replying to is something entirely different. Clearly this isn’t intentional, no? Because I’m genuinely having a hard time using Lemmy as a whole because of this.

My comments also just infinitely spin, making me think that it didn’t get submitted, and so I have to constantly refresh the page.
