There are very recent updates. Judging from this comment, some users seem to have some sort of grup support already.
I don't see it on my Pixelfed instance. I'm not sure if that's because it's still on v0.12.4 (not the newest v0.12.5), or because it needs to be enabled by the admin. I also have no idea how it currently works.
People keep giving the advice of following hashtags. That might be good advice for really obscure ones where you're almost guaranteed to be interested in anything posted, but I think it's terrible advice generally.
Follow users, and hide their boosts or unfollow them if it turns out they make your feed less interesting.
I think it's a platform independent movement that is now on Lemmy. Not sure it started on Reddit.
Yeah, I personally don't believe in blacklisting specific words as a moderation policy in general.
I think it has served Lemmy well though - the automatic filtering of certain words might have deterred some deplorable people from settling down here. :)
I think it's fine like this - gets the point across!
I think the Lemmy devs included automatic removal of some words on the platform, but it can be disabled by instance admins. It caused some funny problems in the early days of Lemmy, as banned words could sometimes appear in completely harmless settings/inside other words. Not sure what has happened since or on which instances it's currently enabled.
In either case I maintain that there's a difference between free speech (cool) and hate speech (not cool).
I made a slight tweak to OP's image, in case people want to share the picture on other networks. :)
Not perfectly done, but I feel like it might be an efficient way to spread the word.
Leasing it to a farmer seems like the obvious choice. I'm not sure digital nomads would be all that interested in working in the middle of a field.
I'd love to see land like this returning to nature with native vegetation, but that would take a really long time and doesn't come with an obvious path to making a profit. Unless you sell it to developers for a higher price in a few years, of course.
They are also very open that this is an early beta, so I'm sure things are still subject to change. But getting the handles right as soon as possible should probably be a priority.
I'm not sure what would be best with regards to the different journalists. I guess people often want to follow topics or sites rather than individual authours. I guess each post could be posted to a main site and then automatically boosted by relevant sub-users such as individual journalists and specific topics.
404 Media has already enabled it, and can be followed at @index@www.404media.co!
I hope eventually these feeds will have better user names than "index".
I don't know anything about its history on Lemmy and I haven't really seen it discussed online at all. I guess I live under a rock.
The one place I have been exposed to it is in this amazing write-up, which I encountered via Mastodon some time ago. For me it provided a perfect introduction to the argument, and gave me a lot to think about even though I am by no means ignorant to feminism and my position as a man in society.
Highly recommend the read, both to men and women. It's extremely well written.
It seems some users have some sort of group functionality and have had it for "quite a while", but I don't see it myself so couldn't test it.
But yeah, groups in Pixelfed have been "just around the corner" for a while now.
