Ik ben het met je eens, een paar dagen geleden begonnen mijn vriendin en ik Nederlands met elkaar te praten zodat ik kon oefenen. Het idee hier is om ook op Lemmy te oefenen.
Ik ben Belg, maar heb Frans als moedertaal, dus ik heb Nederlands geleerd op school. Ik heb mijn Nederlandse vriendin ontmoet toen ik in het buitenland woonde, dus de taal komt af en toe goed van pas. We spreken meestal Engels tegen elkaaar, maar we gaan haar familie bezoeken en ik weet dat de meeste communicatie in het Nederlands zal gebeuren.
Belgian here, let's be honest, Belgium is an edge case, being with Switzerland the few multilingual countries in Western Europe with large proportion of the population speaking one language and the other (different from the South Tyrol situation below).
Germans, French, Dutch, Italians and Spanish living next to a borders would definitely encounter the situation described in the OP.
if you allow the UI to guide you then it will give the wrong answer
How so? Adding "!test" shows the dropdown menu, that seems quite intuitive :
How would you make it more intuitive?
For Sublinks, if people go on the Github (which you expect people wanting to contribute to do), they'll see it still has active contributions: https://github.com/sublinks
every single one has expressed extreme distaste with the extremist propaganda that is allowed to be expressed here. every. single. one. I try to explain that you can block it all but…
Are they using Reddit too? Because without blocking anything, the amount of political posts you see on Reddit is on par with here
!lotrmemes@midwest.social will work fine, but there are zero indicators for that in the GUI, you have to know the secret knowledge and trust the process, or flip back and forth between the Preview button and editing).
If you see it a few times, are you not going to notice intuitively how it works? Also, even if you don't use a ! link, usually people with comment with one
But the codebase for Lemmy is in Rust so… not a whole lot of contributors to fix such things.
Piefed is in Python, Mbin in PHP, Sublinks in Java. It's more about the lack of contributors than the languages themselves
you still custimise your feed to large extent by following stuff.
I'm not that familiar with the latest versions of the three I listed, but I've seen quite a few complaints on Reddit recently who seems to be pushing irrelevant content just for rage bait.
Also the things you mentioned about tracking are there on Twitter too:
Twitter’s privacy policy states they use the information collected to: “improve and personalise our products and services so that you have a better experience on Twitter, including by showing you more relevant content and ads, suggesting people and topics to follow, enabling and helping you discover affiliates, third-party apps, and services.”
It’s important to note that opting out of Twitter’s interest-based ads doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t see targeted advertising. For example, you may still see ads which are based on information such as what you Tweet, who you follow and the links you click on Twitter.
Often while browsing, if Twitter recognises that you’re interacting with something repeatedly, they will offer for you to follow that particular topic – which can be anything from celebrities to sports teams.
