I have once made an alternative frontend for tiktok to bypass the indian tiktok ban. but I abandoned it because it was too much work to keep it working when they frequently make changes to the api and website. I don’t think anyone will be willing to maintain such a mess so there won’t be any alt-frontends


I like it. The content has no substance, but that’s a feature. go there only if you enjoy goofy dances or lipsyncing. If you expect political commentary or educational content you’ll be disappointed.

And your experience will be much better if you follow your IRL friends.


But we must find exactly where that limit is and consider not going over the top.

Just browse through those ‘right wing’ servers. I’d say we’re showing incredible restraint by still federating with one of them.


Also,

The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant






Also, wouldn’t this concept be better implemented as an alternative interface for Lemmur instead of a whole new app?

I think that’s what she is saying essentially taking the data from Lemmy api and displaying it like a chat app

ie.

  • communities -> group chat
  • Posts and comments -> threads within group chats

It already exists. but it won’t help with spam since they are all new accounts


It’s in the api, any custom frontend should be able to display it.



They want normal clicks to open in new tabs, it’s a popular feature request.https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/282



This also means I can inflate the number of comments by marking deleted as false repeatedly


OK I got some time to properly test this, this happens because you can mark a comment as deleted even if it’s already marked as such. and the db trigger happens every time value of deleted is updated regardless of previous state




Adding a feature to the Lemmy codebase isn’t as easy as making an extension ( for devs who aren’t familiar with Lemmy codebase)



features added since the last time i posted * Authentication * Theming and other configs * Navigate Nested comments * Polished UI

It’s not an opinion. However it won’t hurt to put an option in settings to toggle the behavior




I’ll let you know when it’s ready for use


It’s supposed to be minimalist (as in very less metadata), the ui is just a placeholder it will be polished once the core logic is done,

Please open a issue on github on how to improve the config I didn’t put a lot of thought into it becuase I wanted to prioritize another issue


I’m not planning to implement the full api, so I’ll use it as a reference. thank you 🥰


😂 porting those features to rust looks like a good exercise


I'm developing a tui for lemmy :). It's in a very early stage of development, i'm looking forward to improve my Rust skills by working on this project (this is my first rust project)

No, I’m saying that instead creating a cult following around the artist, the art should be shared in dedicated communities, (like Lemmy) and mutual friendships should be created from discussions and conversations within the community.Thus the ‘influencer’ culture will be eliminated and people can focus more on the content of art without getting trapped in the parasocial relationships with the artist itself.


You’re seeing creators as an inalienable part of fediverse.I’m suggesting eliminating these ‘creators’ completely or separating them to a minority portion of fediverse(like peertube).

Instead of fostering personal brands (which is just a consequence of corporate social media trying to incorporate brands into their platform for ads) and creating stans, We should focus on community building and making friends. So that every user is not compelled to write poetry and pose like supermodels in their feeds but to actually have real conversations


This consumer-creator relationship is created by traditional social media to help monetize their platform.

In my opinion, social media should be about making friends and being in communities,making space for content creators shouldn’t come at the expense of these things.


Fediverse and parasocial relationships
Fediverse and parasocial relationships - Shouldn't the fediverse discourage patterns that create parasocial relationships? - Wouldn't it be better if the standard was a symmetrical relationship between users instead of the asymmetrical follow model? - Most big social medias thrive on parasocial-relations, is it necessary to emulate that model for success? - Shouldn't we focus on community building and mutual friendship instead of forcing everyone to be a mini-celebrity? - Aren't communities/groups better for discoverability than the public feeds of mastodon, pleroma,etc

I’m sorry if my comment was out of place :(


this might sound insensitive to your situation

masturbating before sleeping helps


If more people make content about lemmy we should be able to acquire the top spots for ‘lemmy’ keyword.

If you are looking for better discoverability in the early stages combining lemmy with keywords like fediverse and reddit might be the best option
