Zeus

i've no mobility issues, but i can't stand that back gesture. it interferes with the ability to open drawers; and i can't spam it quickly to get out of a "deep" page in an app

gestures do have pros (for instance, the ability to hold and scroll through recents) but the back gesture just seems straight up worse to me

Someone could attack that one site and bring the whole lemmyverse down.

not really - all it would do is be annoying to open links in apps. probably temporarily, as another would spring up

matrix is decentralised, but they have matrix.to

i do actually quite like rush, though i must admit i'd never heard of yyz until this thread

i always do, but it's mostly to be facetious - i wouldn't be hugely surprised if people didn't know what i was talking about

Then I will include them on my watchlist and will try to post at least from time to time.

thank you, i do appreciate it

As I said in other comments, thanks to all of you who create and moderate communities. For now, I’m just trying to generate content, which I know is the easier part.

well i haven't actually had to do much moderating yet — i've mostly been balancing seeding some content without spamming the local feed; as well as discussing them on matrix, and sometimes promoting them on threads like this when i remember

Note that I said: “you look a bit more organized than small subs”, and that’s not a very high bar, hehe :P.

oi! and i thought you were nice

More seriously, I thought you were related to reddit’s Imaginary Network, which is huge and with some big power-users.

nope, not at all. they're just the only subs i still follow by rss, and no-one else was making them here so i took up that mantle. and now i have 7 imaginary communities... and there are at least 2 more that i want to exist, so i'm hoping someone makes them soon

thank you!

(also, i'm flattered that you think i look organised, i'm very new to this so i don't feel organised at all)

a few others and i are trying to get some of the imaginary network off the ground - the ones i'm particularly fond of are imaginary trains and imaginary dieselpunk, but there's a whole list in the sidebar

unfortunately a considerable chunk went down with lemmy.fmhy.ml, but i'm in contact with the guy behind them and he plans to reopen them soon

personally, i wouldn't

but maybe i'm biased

yeah i'm with you there. i understand why programmes do it, a one-off purchase often isn't enough to support continued development and server costs, but i have never bought one in my life. i actually had bought pocketcasts pro, and then they went subscription only and i immediately moved to antennapod.

topically, sync for lemmy has just released and everyone's going wild over it. it's a £16/year subscription. or £2/month…

i'd never noticed how much the twitter logo looks like an upside-down sonic the hedgehog

did you click the thing saying that you understand analogies?
