  • Lemmy is popular nowadays, yet is losing its active users

    Jump

  • also the apps often have a lot of bugs or issues in general. i would love to use lemmy more, but Liftoff can't even sort my profile comments by new. i click on it.. nothing happens. and if i just quickly switch to another app (clicking a link that opens the browser etc), and come back.. everything is reset and i have to search the post i was again etc.

    because such things i don't use lemmy as often i would like..another issue is that lemmy isn't supported on older browsers and the devs just tell you to update or get another one.. yeaahh nah thanks. not gonna switch or destroy my browser (newer browser versions are often shitty.. just look at chrome who nags you all the time) just because of lemmy. so.. i wait for this issues to be fixed to then be able to use it more. before this happens, the user experience is just too frustrating.

  • Error: Forbidden - RiF not working

  • its more likely its because reddit is down right now. their server have issues. here in germany i can't even access them on desktop.

  • AI researchers say they've found 'virtually unlimited' ways to bypass Bard and ChatGPT's safety rules

  • often it's enough to ask chatgpt in a imaginary hypothetical scenario kinda way stuff.

  • Now Reddit sell NFT-like stuff

    Jump

  • they did this already for a longer while, yes. that's why most people stayed away from the offical "app"

  • Reddit on GOPHER

  • my how wasn't actually intented to be serious. it was just meant as a joke.

  • how?

  • Lemmy.world update: Downtime today / Cloudflare

    Jump

  • then let me correct my previous comment. i hope you will find happiness! i know how bad it feels, so i wish you with my full hearth that you will be happy! you deserve it, never let anyone tell you otherwise.

  • I wish you the best in life and that you will feel happy again in the future and find your inner peace! *hug*

  • do you also spend a lot less time on Lemmy compared to Reddit?

    Jump

  • i would scroll a lot longer on lemmy if there would be more content and my app Liftoff wouldn't completely reset where i left off when i click a link or leave the app for a second. each time i have to search again where i was etc.. sucks after 2 time too much to try again.

  • Reddit App has now 4.1 Stars Rating on Play Store

    Jump

  • just checked, yupp 2.7.

  • I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.

  • if you get too much of something fun, it stops being fun after a while. same as with drugs.. after a while, the same dosis isn't having the same high anymore as the first time.

  • After spending the last day as a rocket ship, there's now an active effort underway to reconstruct the /r/place guillotine

    Jump

  • you're welcome :)

  • i'm around 12 years on reddit, and votes & how good a post or comments gets welcomed by the communitys on reddit feels kinda random to me.

    you can post like you said the same thing at random times, and it will be either welcomed or punished to hell. i had times where i tried to find out if time & timezones have something to do with, but even when trying to post on specific times this didn't changed much.

    after all this years, i decided for myself posting on reddit is like a dice. you roll and either win or fail.

    edit: sorry for the horrible english by the way. my motherlanguage isn't english so i often have still issues with finding the right words for things :/

  • admins and mods working for reddit (the paid ones) have "tools" to do such things. thats also how /u/spez manipulated user comments who said fuck spez etc. - also how they manipulate /r/place currently. they just paint a huge black square or checkerboard over images they dislike.

  • but.. do most people actually care? i stopped caring about my cumulative amount after a specific amount (currently i'm at 319.056 Post-Karma, 91.827 comment karma). its just too much too care anymore for me. if it goes down or up.. i don't really feel it anymore or even care. i think the whole cumulative score of votes isn't really fullfilling anything purposefull.

    how do you feel about such a cumulative score? does it triggers dopamine for you? for me it is "meh", so i'm interested in how other people experience this.

  • Also comments don’t seem to get hidden due to downvotes thankfully. That was always a stupid system.

    i hate this so much about reddit. a lot of users abuse this system so much to hide your comments so nobody sees them anymore.. they just vanish because usually users don't click unhide.

    even if you are nice in the comment and are in the right.. if someone dislikes your comment they can pull out their twink accounts and downvote it. and if a comment is at around -3 to -4 or similiar, most users just click downvote without actually reading it.. because "others have downvoted that comment so it has to be right. downvote click"

    its just so toxic on reddit..

  • Welp that answers a lot of why all .ml are down

    Jump

  • agreed, but i'm already moderating a community with 1,3k members elsewhere and have to do a lot of work daily there (posting content for the members who wait for it daily). also i currently start to build one up on lemmy.world that also takes time from my day. i don't really have time in my daily activity to additonally do stuff which involve moderation or managing of such things like a server instance.

    don't understand me wrong, i agree with what you say and its logical and smart to do it. but its always depending on the situation of each user. in my situation, its the best thing to go to a big instance.

  • Have to be honest with you, that is how all yhe instances started including lemmy.world.

    but now they have enough reputation & users to make them feel like the safest option

    There is no metric by which to know this yet as lemmy is new. Its not like there are 5 servers that are 10 years old and al the rest are just starting up. Just how it is.

    compared with random instances with 2-3 users or so, a instance who is there since the beginning / relative long compared to other is safer feeling tho.

    i'm so worried about this topic, that i even think about maybe setting up my own instance just to keep my accounts etc safe & from vanishing.
