I'm trying to use it like Twitter where I find people and organizations to follow who are funny or interesting...but the majority of people "boost" other stuff more than they post. This gets problematic for me because you just follow a few accounts and suddenly your feed is so full you can't read through it all. I want it to be manageable... I want to follow people I enjoy reading...but I don't necessarily want to see 30 posts a day that they like. Maybe I'm using it wrong or thinking about it wrong. I enjoy some things about it and I'm happy it exists, but I'm having trouble finding a lot posts and users that I find super engaging.

I follow probably 30 Lemmy communities and scrolling through the feed brings me much more that is interesting, beautiful, funny, insightful...

I find most of the "news" and "technology" communities useless and boring for this reason and usually end up unsubscribing when a slew of blaaahhhhh fills up my feed. Lots of articles, stories etc just copied and pasted (or scraped) with no context, explanation, insight, commentary. Why does this matter? Why did you posts it? Why should I care?

If you texted a link to this article to a family member or friend...what would you say to explain WHY you're sending it? Would you just send the link and the title with no other details? They would find it weird. Share it with me like we're friends.

They are basically in Indiana all year round I don’t when they visit Canada. I think they are liars and they get shit all over my sidewalk…

I tried to see the cats in bags post more times than I care to admit…

For iPhone I always feel like autocorrect was better 5-10 years ago but maybe just a selective memory (the past is rosy). Seems like in my memory you could just type without looking at the keyboard and it would all be fine. Sometimes nowadays it tries ti correct based on context or grammar but sometimes it makes no sense and you have to force it to say what you mean. I clearly typed fucking, hitting the wayyy right side of the f away from the d as possible but how many times will apple correct to ducking…several. Several times.

Report, block the user and/or the community. It’ll be growing pains until we figure out how to keep bad actors from ruining Lemmy. Until then it will happen here and there. DNS attacks and hacks have take down instances and been fixed and patched many times. If assholes CAN do something shitty, they will.

Hmm. Well I hope they aren’t banning people for reasonable expressions of free speech … assuming it’s respectful and not in a racist or hateful way…

I know there are some instances with agendas and what not but Lemmy.world is supposed to be neutral and reasonable

MySpace, digg, Yahoo, Mapquest, Hotmail, icanhazcheeseburger, Fark…still exist…possibly still make money even. But just because Reddit still has traffic and activism users doesn’t mean it won’t implode at some point. There are users and traffic because of content. Maybe it will go on fine without us but would not be at all surprised if it went downhill significantly in the next few years and the money dries up and people like Steve Huffman will have to get real jobs

Curious…banned why and on what instance?

Not loading for me ?

Just a plain-ass iPhone home screen but I like my layout and my widgets…Voyager has replaced Apollo in the spot it occupied for many years 😭

Ha I was confused thinking I had somehow made my way onto some kooky instance where just random pictures of guns get 100 upvotes with no context.

ok

Came back to this comment and saw I had put soda and Kroger’s and could not remember what I had meant to put

Most of my posts get zero engagement and it seems appropriate. Maybe it’s hashtags. The posts where I bitch about twitter or Reddit or google are usually the ones that get attention. I am just assuming people looking for follow backs but 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m trying to keep my feed manageable at this point…not looking for 1,000 mutual followers that just follow for numbers.

The optimist in me thinks the post was pretty clever but have a suspicion some people just smash star and boost until it’s meaningless. Like as soon as I hit send it started.

Ha sounds like the scammer knows their audience. Let’s try seducing middle aged dads talking about science on federated social networks… 🧪

Would be a gamechanger if Alexa or Siri could do what ChatGPT does and I don’t really understand why neither one has gotten smarter…at all…in 10 years.

More than one thing can be true. Wolves became domesticated because they developed mutually beneficial relationships with people.

If you’re being practical tea makes the most sense as it won’t wear down your tooth enamel or stomach lining or put chemicals in you every day like soda and juice etc… I like Cherry Pepsi but if I drank nothing but that I am positive I’d have ulcers and no teeth after a few years.
