According to the feedback, I just shut down this project, perhaps permanently. Sorry for all the harm I caused.

Anyone know if this harm was anything more than just hitting API limits?

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

I have no idea.I tried yesterday to figure out what that ment....but the original site is down.

People really do be needing to look at the Local and Global timelines. There's a lot of chatter about regular, non-linuxy things there.

Honestly, I think I'm completely sold on the idea that the Local timeline should be the default.

Honestly, I think I’m completely sold on the idea that the Local timeline should be the default.

That's already the case for a few instances

[–] Kichae@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I know. But the post is about Mastodon.

As far as I know, Mastodon doesn't even support assigning a default feed.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

Misskey forks do, if you are interested

[–] PlantJam@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I love the idea of the decentralized services, but trying to browse global all is a nightmare. Even browsing local all I have a ton of communities blocked and add more every day. The only downside is when communities I like migrate to a different instance. I still try global all once every few months, but it never lasts long.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Subscribed should definitely be the main feed for most people, that's the best way to get a curated feed.

Getting multiple personal feeds would also help.

[–] PlantJam@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Discoverability is my biggest issue with the subscribed feed. If I'm using subscribed, I'm not finding new communities. Curating a set of base communities that I want to see does seem like it would be worth the effort, though. Thanks for the suggestion.

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 day ago

On Lemmy I browse Subscribed until I run out of new posts. Then I switch to All and look for communities to add. Over time I've been spending more and more time on Subscribed, as my list grows.

This post is about Mastodon, I haven't been able to figure that place out yet.

this is why I usually browse Lemmy in new/comments/all, I just wish it had more than one page at a time or the ability to set more posts in one page

[–] admin@lemmyusa.com 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Photon has infinite scrolling :). lemmyusa.com runs it

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Hello,

When are you planning to update to 0.19.8?

[–] admin@lemmyusa.com 1 points 21 hours ago

Here in the next few weeks. I want to ensure nothing breaks, but I really just haven't gotten around to it.

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Summit offers that, I'd imagine plenty of other clients do too

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Pretty much every client I've used doesn't handle hexbear emojis particularly well, so I stick to browser. I'll give that a try though.

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Summit seems to deal with inline images fine which I would guess covers that

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

it renders them correctly - I just checked- but it doesn't show the site-specific emoji picker, it just has a default plaintext one:

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

I would guess that's because it's not standard Lemmy code, I think I read recently that hexbear uses it's own fork to add things like that

[–] asudox@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 days ago

This is so cool

[–] ericjmorey@discuss.online 3 points 2 days ago

This is what people didn't want. But it was inevitable that eventually that people would stop complaining about the newest iteration of this.

[–] MHLoppy@fedia.io 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, not to shit on the idea too much, but right now as of posting, looking at ~100 posts in the feed and the majority are bots, automated posts, or otherwise "brand" posts, not just regular people, and a few are Threads users or bridged Bluesky/Xitter accounts.

Doing a quick label:

That's getting close to the 5k character limit, but you get the idea. This has actually negatively influenced my opinion on fediverse activity. I didn't realize that such a high share of the activity wasn't actually just "normal users".

[–] LucidNightmare@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago

I have tried to use Mastodon, and I appreciate what is is, but I just don't see the appeal. It feels like I'm trying to interact with nothing, and no one, ever seeing it. Feels like speaking to the void.
