  • I haven't used Jerboa in a while, but I know Boost supports almost all of the search features

  • something on your end? my top result is from lemmy.world

    maybe try opening the link in Private Mode or Incognito

  • Like, not being able to search for specific issues, people, or any other topic already posted even within your own instance is my biggest issue with Lemmy not being a sufficient replacement.

    The search page does allow all of this.

    /search

    You can filter by type (post, user, community, etc), Local/All/Subscribed, searching within a community, choosing a sort option or restricting to past year/month/week.... I think it's much better than Reddit's search.

  • I don't think this is true, Lemmy is already using rel="canonical" which should be telling Google what the real URL is, like here on programming.dev I see this in the page source

    <link data-inferno-helmet="true" rel="canonical" href="https://lemmy.world/post/19493729">

    which is why the Google results for this search don't show a million different instances mirroring it

    Here was the discussion about it where it was fixed last year https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1418

  • The Duke was so good!

  • Consolidating is hard because I'm a bit of a hoarder so I can't stand to unsubscribe from any of them lol. I don't mind the duplicate posts so much. But maybe someone can suggest which of those communities can be skipped in favor of others.

  • Lol yea. Very nice that Lemmy supports old threads unlike Reddit, the forums-style "New Comments" sort is such a good alternative to the other sorting methods. It should reduce the "need" for reposts, especially combined with Lemmy's nice auto-search when making a post.

  • this project seems interesting, will have to keep an eye on it

  • Could lead to problems

    this is why I sort by "New Comments" for the Moderator View

  • I really like the feature for All/Local/Subscribed, but maybe it's a temporary solution until we get some better method to group communities and post to a group of communities instead of posting to communities individually

  • I only see it posted on 3 communities, isn't that how the Lemmy cross posting feature is supposed to work? What if someone is unaware of 1 or 2 of these communities, or their instance is defederated from 1 of them?

    Lemmy has post deduplication. Are you using an app that doesn't support this? I haven't seen crossposts spamming my feed before, usually it's a pretty good feature, something that Reddit doesn't have.

    In fact, Lemmy's post deduplication is a little TOO aggressive https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2104

  • For these discussions I think it would be good to link relevant communities.

    I don't think there's a community just for Monkey Island, but there is !adventuregames@lemm.ee

    I played the first Monkey Island as a kid with my family and still love these games. Great humor, puzzles, and music. #1 is probably still my favorite, all of them are great except maybe #4 I still need to play (now that it works in ScummVM it's a lot better with modern computers). #2 is probably the hardest game in the series. Tales of Monkey Island is maybe the easiest but still good. Return to Monkey Island was also very good.

  • Zelda: Minish Cap, and Castlevania are my favorites

  • GitHub is down

    Jump
  • people like to make a fuss and get attention on social media, it's something to talk about, entertainment

    they're weren't even down for that long

  • GitHub is down

    Jump
  • Eh you still can, the git remote is a mirror but you can still make commits locally and sync later

    you can also have multiple git remotes/mirrors

  • I'm surprised this still isn't enabled by default
