What method of producing meat that doesn’t emit greenhouse gases do you propose?
“Consumption doesn’t emit greenhouse gases, production does”, that doesn’t really make sense. If no one consumed meat one year, much less meat would be produced the next year, leading to less greenhouse gases.
Lemmy’s subscriber user count is usually wrong.
You only see the true number if the community is on your instance
Check the community from the original instance to see the actual number of subscribers
If you’re searching for instances, you should use https://lemmyverse.net/communities since it lets you quickly compare subscribers, shows you more results and also is just better overall
Nah, doesn’t really work for me. Most topics I want to follow, hashtags are either not used, or used too broadly so I’m not really interested in what I get, or used too often so my feed gets filled with posts and I can’t see the people I’m following.
What I do is if I want to see somebody’s posts but I don’t want to see all of their posts, I put them into a list. Then if they boost a post I like, I check out the person’s account and either add them or don’t add them to the list. Doesn’t work too well, but it’s not awful either.
And then I also have 1 hashtag pinned (Moshidon feature), so that I can see the posts on it without getting them in my home feed.
Proper federation of favorites and boosts. You can’t see favorites from people outside of your instance for some reason, and boosts are sorta federated from people outside of your instance, but still not fully. Lemmy manages to federate upvotes fine, so it seems like it’d be possible.
The app I use (Moshidon) loads the actual favorite count when you open the favorites list, but it’s annoying I have to go through that step.
Quoting Posts
Higher poll option count. 4 is not enough. I’d say it should be at least 6, preferably something like 15 or 25.
Higher character count per post. No reason for it to be capped at 500. I’d say the default should be 1500.
Also I think it’s hard for admins to change the default character count, so that should be made easier.
I’d really like an algorithm (optional, of course). Getting content you want to see is really difficult. It’s hard to find people to follow, and when you do you get all of their posts in your feed, not just the ones you want to see.
For a while now, the app has been really easy to sign up on, and now the website is the same.
The process got easier in mastodon 4.2.0, now you just have to type in your instance and it takes you to it directly.
That’s a great idea! I didn’t know about shields.io. Just added it to !celeste@lemmy.ca
I changed the link a little from the one you posted. Mine is:
[](https://lemmy.ca/c/celeste)
Easiest way to know for sure is probably to search for it on fedidb.org. Instances don’t need to tell you they’re on the fediverse, but most of them have a link to the source code which will probably mention activitypub somewhere.
Random sort? How do you do that?
Yeah discovery is kinda terrible. Luckily there’s tools like https://lemmyverse.net/communities and https://lemmyverse.net/kbin/magazines, but something like that definitely needs to be built into Lemmy itself.
To get the community started you can put it on !newcommunities@lemmy.world, sub.rehab if there’s a counterpart on reddit, and maybe advertise it in any relevant places. After you get just one subscriber from an instance everyone there will be able to see it in search and the all tab.
For the community to show up on an instance, it needs to have been viewed by at least one person from that instance. (You need to be logged in for this to count).
I went to https://lemmy.one/c/the_kids_in_the_hall@lemmy.ca with my alt on that instance. Now you should be able to see it from there, even if you aren’t logged in.
Also, I think for posts to be federated properly there needs to be at least one subscriber from the instance (just visiting isn’t enough). I’m not sure about that tho.
I think copying Mastodon would be the best for this. You can mark the post as sensitive (nsfw), which blurs the images. You can also add a content warning that can be used for anything (nsfw, nsfl, spoilers, etc).
And then use tags separately for categorizing posts.
On reddit? Vote % is fuzzed a little to prevent spambots or something.
On lemmy I haven’t noticed that
Not really, if you browse the big communities it has enough users but for more niche communities its not neatly enough to be a replacement for reddit
You can also use ddg.gg which is even shorter!
And you don’t even need to go the website homepage, just type something like ddg.gg/search promt and it’ll give you results straight away.
This is great even if you use a different search engine because you can use !bangs without needing to go through another webpage.
I know this is super super late but just wanted to mention in case someone found this post while browsing and wanted to download this app. This was about the GrapheneOS camera app but the poster deleted their comments.
You can also download it from GrapheneOS Apps, and they release the APKs on GitHub, so you can sideload it or use Obtanium.
No, I don’t think so. Iirc it’s because of google locking it down
