  • Gotta say, the website works great on phone too. No reason to get an app

  • I can recommend Embedded - a couple of firmware engineers with a guest
    and The Amp Hour which is host/guest in electrical engineering. If you know the EEVblog, Dave is a co-host but only appears when there's no guest.

  • My favourite is "you only need better lock than your neighbour"

  • Yup, like Elle said, you can request a community be made on another instance so you don't need to make a separate account

  • Pull the plug. Unless you're on laptop, in that case you gotta wait a few hours.

  • I'm sating it because for example mastodon doesn't do even that. Afaik, it only sorts chronologically.

  • You don't need to make account on other instances. The whole point of fediverse is that the instances are all interconnected. You can talk to people from anywhere and post anywhere too, and it will propagate to all the other instances. Like your account is on programming.dev, this post is hosted on lemmy.world, and I'm on lemm.ee, see? It's all interwoven together, that's the main strength of it. So you can have communities (sub alternatives) all over. Some will be doubled (like most instances have Main) but you can always see where it's hosted to know which is which. (sorry if I'm over-explaining it)

    That means if you want to make a community about, for example, 6502 assembly, you make it where you are, and people who are interested in the topic will come and discuss, no matter where their accounts are hosted. It would make sense to have a 6502 assembly community on programming-focused instance but it's not mandatory. If I were to make a 6502 assembly community, I'd make an account on programming.dev and create the community there for consistency. And give my main account mod status.
    I don't know if this is the "right" way to go about it but it makes sense to me. I'm happy to be corrected.

  • Nope, you can sort by Hot/Top/Active, and also by time.

  • There is, though. See how you can sort posts and comments by Hot/Top/Active? That's an algorithm sorting things based on engagement over time. It's just not tailored to your personal history of engagement.

  • can i haz some eyeballs uwu

    the wealthiest man on the planet

  • Note that only works if the person argues in good faith. If they're not, you're just wasting your time.

  • Are you implying he's not actually a free speech absolutist and only said so for clout from his cult of worshipers?

  • The reason we lost Apollo and others is exactly what I meant by "corporate fuckery". I respect that you see "anti-capitalist and FOSS-worshipping sentiments" off-putting, they're definitely pervasive in the community, and I personally vibe with that. because it's all cause-and-effect. What happened with Reddit isn't one company being shitty to their userbase while seeking profit. It's a pattern. That's the system working correctly. The "anti-capitalist and FOSS-worshipping sentiments" are coming from people seeing that and taking a stance. Is reddit taking a stance against their users? Fine, we're gonna make our own reddit with blackjack et cetera and so on.
