On reddit? Vote % is fuzzed a little to prevent spambots or something.

On lemmy I haven't noticed that

Or Cromite, a fork of Bromite that's kept up to date and has more features.

Yeah it's kinda weird that from mastodon it boosts all the comments instead of just the posts. You can tap into the posts to see the comments anyways, can't you?

Make sure to turn off face retouching. Also as the other comment said, you can turn on raw photos from the Advanced settings, but it does save duplicate photos if you do.

Edit: and set 'Camera photo resolution' to Full resolution

Bromite also hasn't been updated in over half a year, which is bad for a browser. There is an up to date fork of it called Cromite

By the way, Awesome Lemmy Instances shows monthly active users, not total user counts. Your point still stands that lemmy.world has many more users than all the other ones tho.

Here is a list that also shows total users: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy

According to lemmy.world admins, the downtime is caused by DDOS attacks, not big user count. I still think the large user count is part of the problem because I imagine it's easier to DDOS one server with 120,000 users than 12 servers with 10,000 users

We are guilty as aspecies of tending to choose the most popular option because it offers the most interaction.

I don't understand what this means. If I compare the All tab between lemmy.world and a smaller instance like lemmy.ca, they are both pretty much identical. I don't feel like I'm missing any interaction.

For small instances I can see why it's a problem since at least one person needs to be subscribed to each community to federate the posts, but there are many instances that are big enough to not really have this problem.

If you're willing to go through the pain of sideloading on iOS and you're ok with giving a random app your Google account, uYou+ is pretty good.

reposting this comment because I accidentally clicked post before finishing

Open the Lemmy Redirect app, open the 'Set Up Link Handling' dropdown, then click 'Settings'.

You should see this screen. (You can also find it from App Info)

Then click 'Add link' and you should see this screen.

You can manually select all 1504 of them if you want to, but I don't think anyone wants to do that

The app I use, Moshidon, is able to open shared links in the same way infinity does. Maybe some other apps can do this too.

There's also an app similar to Lemmy Redirect called Mastodon Redirect (IzzyOnDroid) (GitHub). The app says it works with the "official" Mastodon app, Elk, Fedilab, Megalodon, Moshidon, Subway Tooter, and Tooot.

You can also copy the link and paste it into the search bar in the app you use.

I'm not able to install the app, anyone know why this could be happening?

I think it's because the release is tagged as pre release in codeberg, not because it's below 1.0

Seems like community links are broken in Infinity, the first link gave an error and the second doesn't even show as a link.

It doesnt no

I agree in a lot of ways. Lemmy does feel very beta at times. Mastodon does feel much more finished, except for the fact that favorites and boosts don't federate properly a lot of the time.

But this specifically feels perfectly fine to me. The fact that they're interoperable at all is more than I'd expect. Lemmy and Mastodon are so different in how they show content that I can't think of a much better way to do it (other than maybe having communities boost only posts and not comments when seen from mastodon).

How do you think they should be reworked to work better with each other?

Only somewhat. Lemmy Communities show up as users when viewed from mastodon, that boost every single post and comment in the community (so browsing it is near impossible, and there is no sorting). Mastodon users can interact with posts (but can't downvote), and they can post by @-ing the community.

You can't follow mastodon users or view mastodon posts from Lemmy. I heard kbin had some functionality to do with this tho

This works most of the time, but not all of the time. Even in official apple apps some menus don't let you swipe from the left to go back.

I use gesture navigation on Android. It has some upsides and downsides compared to iOS, but it works 100% of the time, no exceptions.
