Lmao yes this is exactly what I'm talking about, I've never seen this before

I'm making the community but I'm having some technical difficulties, bear with me.

I'm stealing this. Now I just need to start winning more games by small margins, then I'll be cool af

Bro this shit sends me every time. Bonus points when the next light has been red the whole fucking time.

Like they literally can't even predict the likely outcome 5 seconds ahead of time, or at least learn the pattern after a while. And yet they're behind the wheel of a 2 ton deadly weapon.

Yeah I love that emoticon. Still not as good as my fav tho, which can be clearly identified by scrolling through my account history. I use this shit way too much, but idgaf 😅

Rich man's Lemmy gold

Yes that is true on reddit. Not on Lemmy though afaik

Lol that's an interesting thought. I wonder what it would be like if instead of simply giving upvotes and downvotes, you could rate every comment/post on a scale of 1-10 or something. It probably wouldn't work at all, but maybe there is some kind of system out there that would work better in the future.

I'm not following you. I see your previous comment was in a thread about video game bosses though?

Yeah it exists in the metadata, so certain front ends can display it and other platforms like Mbin and PieFed show it as a reputation score or something like that.

I think the way that Lemmy handles it is perfect, there's no reason to display the cumulative score and it definitely acts as a barrier to free and open discussion because people start censoring themselves and judging other users by their profile rather than the things they actually say.

That just blew my mind, I didn't even realize that was a setting.

Huh, that is interesting.

Definitely a long way to go, but getting better cross compatibility with Mastodon would be very beneficial because I feel like Mastodon users are fairly similar to Lemmy users in terms of attitudes and interests, and they have a huge active userbase compared to us.

Some of the basic markdown seems to work. Stuff that works:

• bold with double asterix
• italic with Asterix
• line/paragraph breaks (I think?)
• block quote with >
• inline code with `
• this list 😅

Aha, took me like 15 minutes to learn how to navigate that site (I never used Mastodon or Twitter) but I figured it out.

This was the reply on Mastodon

Federation between Mastodon and Lemmy is still very limited in functionality and weird. Obviously the image OP attached to the original post made it over, but the one they attached to their comment did not.

The devs need to do a lot of work on that if it's ever going to be usable by most people. But also users need to experience both sites for themselves to start to understand what the actual use cases for cross platform functionality are.

I think I got a little better understanding of how it is to interact with a Lemmy community/thread from trying to find that user and his reply via the Mastodon interface. It's pretty confusing tbh because there's no threading at all, just random replies.

But actually on further investigation there is a way to view the thread, I can kinda see it here

Edit:

Wtf clicking that link actually navigates me to this Lemmy thread on sh.itjust.works. Now I'm just more confused than ever.

I'm guessing that it automatically navigates to Lemmy because my account comes from Lemmy. But you can find the Mastodon view of the same comment by manually navigating through Mastodon. Interestingly, the Mastodon view has the same problem where my embedded image doesn't display. Definitely work to be done.

First of all, I don't even agree with the premise that Lemmy got worse after the reddit exodus happened. Before that it was like 1-2k monthly users mostly on lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. The reddit migrants built almost all of the biggest and most active servers that exist on lemmy today. I may not have been here beforehand, but I saw the stats and I saw the content that was available when I first arrived, and it was pretty minimal.

Second of all, you are part of the problem, you're being super negative for no reason right now. The rest of us are excited for more redditors to join Lemmy and you're acting all elitist when you're not even part of the original pre-exodus userbase anyway. I just don't get it, why not just embrace more users, why do you feel the need to act superior to others?

Oh, idk what you're referring to and I don't care to find out, I try to avoid ever hearing anything about that dude if I can avoid it.

It made me think of Louis CK 😳

Legendary domain name

Relax bro, it's fine to disagree but you don't have to make it personal

Ya I mean the people who were here before the APIcalypse aren't exactly the most amiable group either, to say the least.

Also the guy you're responding to made his account June 15, 2023, he was almost certainly part of the original wave of reddit migrants. Not sure what he could be referring to about the last time people came from reddit, I don't remember any big waves since the original one.

It's like those people who move to NYC from a different region of the country and start complaining about gentrification and suburban commuters after living in a highrise for 2 years. Like bitch, you are the gentrification, and those suburbanites are a hell of a lot more familiar with the city than your ass even if they don't live inside its limits. Sorry if that's unrelated, I just hate gatekeeping.

I figured it wasn't a big deal because only one of the mods of this comm has a local account.

I put in an application for a local account here though, just in case
