Look, someone reported this as misinformation. Too bad me, the active mod here, gets pain in the eyes, sometimes flickering vision, and sometimes what I would describe as sea sickness from staring onto bright white screens. When I have no other choice because work, I invert all screen colors but sometimes correct colors are important.
So yeah, no proper dark mode means it's a crap app.
I’ve always assumed Meta’s investment in Threads’s ActivityPub compatibility was purely to show the EU, “Hey look, we’re trying to follow the open standard.”
Threads’s ActivityPub compatibility isn't available in the EU. European Threads profiles cannot enable ActivityPub federation.
You have 4 nordic languages to pic from and you not only pick the worst one but also the one thats probably one of the worst languages of all time.
I'd rather learn Danish than Finnish (also, I count 6 Nordic languages: Danish, Swedish, Finnish, the two Norwegian languages of which one is a Danish dialect, and Icelandic, plus there are surely a few minority languages, probably in the far north or so).
Meanwhile the mainstream will probably just focus on Instagram and its reels feature as pretty much all bigger creators crosspost everything there as well.
I agree with the sentiment but this here is not a complaints forum.
Please report that user and his communities to the admins of the instances he's registered at. A quick look at the sidebars of both sh.itjust.works and lemm.ee would suggest that their admins banning him is a slam dunk.
I think you misunderstood the request to “share” there. They’re most likely talking about boosts, Mastodon’s version of Twitter’s retweets. Lemmy, I think, doesn’t implement boosts.
It doesn't, making the posting to Lemmy completely pointless, even if it wasn't a commercial experiment. Cross-posts don't count as boosts.
Seems like your primary interest is to measure commercial reach and so far you made no argument to the contrary. I'm not against commercial content in the Fediverse. In fact, I'm in favor on giving users the choice what they follow and what they don't follow but that question hasn't been asked by you here. You just made your post and all ~30k subscribers here are the lap rats for your experiment.
Mastodon users mindlessly tagging entire Lemmy communities are a common annoyance and if your analytics tool is the same as in the past, it doesn't even register any interactions from there anyway, making your experiment even more pointless but not really a pity to me that Lemmy is invisible to your advertisers:
Well, the ad for my employer (as an WP-link) came from you, didn’t it?
You posted from that commercial domain, Wikipedia is non-commercial.
And this is a good way, I think.
That's a weak argument for why your post isn't spam. We here at Lemmy did not agree beforehand to participate in your experiment how far your commercial posts reach.
So this is a test post you ask users to repost? And by you, I mean a paid writer for Heise, a commercial business? Looks to me at best as a meaningless test post, at worst an unpaid ad for your employer.
Torrenting, a way of distributing files across the web, requires that torrenters simultaneously “seed,” or upload, the files they’re trying to obtain.
That's not true. Techniques exist to fight off leeching and download speeds are severely impacted by them but that a blanket statement of a requirement just isn't true.
I bet that's what they'll be doing for the announced "native" app, so Chrome a stop-gap for the beta and the final release will have an integrated web renderer but the actual game delivery by still just opening the website.
PixelDroid is a client that supports dark mode.
