This government has failed repeatedly to maintain the most basic safety and order. Really a shame to see a country that was on the right track now falling apart.

A default instance is not ideal, but adding a barrier to joining is counterproductive. If someone has an interest in a specific area, they should be directed to join programming.dev or slrpnk.net etc. If they want a general purpose instance, then they should just be assigned a default.

Personally, I started the signup multiple times because there are hundreds of servers and if you haven’t already used the platform it’s impossible to know what you need.

Anyway, more than promoting Lemmy as a platform, we should be promoting Lemmy content. Mostly it is publicly visible without an account, and if someone sees Lemmy links 5-10 times, they may start wondering what they are missing out on.

I like it but I really think we spend too much time explaining the home instance. We should put a lot less emphasis on it because it’s stressful to people. Just invite them to join your home instance and they can change in the future if they want.

Really interesting - I never used something like this but certainly see the value

Here is your reminder that wolves are good for rivers.

Absolutely phenomenal. Great app, hosting, and development community.

It’s a good reason to start self hosting.

On mine I can just swipe the entire line to the right or left to delete.

Using @ just sends a notification to the person tagged, or sort of threads the conversion if it is a reply.

The # is for tagging. A good way to get a sense of how it is used would be to frequently check the trending or popular hashtags. Basically anything with the same tag will show up together when someone is interested in the topic. Sometimes people also use them ironically like #ThisIsAReallyLongAndSpecificTagThatWillNotConnectWithAnyOtherPost

Why does Putin’s face look more and more like a plastic surgery disaster in every photo?

Thank you! This is very helpful. I didn’t see these but Lemmy search is sort of broken for me right now.

Oh great. Sorry that I didn’t dig in too much further than the front page of the website.

Oh, that is a really interesting question. I do think that there are some open source assistants that may offer some flexibility, but that’s not really how I personally use a phone so I wouldn’t have any answer. I found this article from a few years ago that seems to suggest it was and may be possible.

yeah, just looking through the notes, it looks like both devs care a lot about their project and just have different visions for what a “Complete” notes app should look like. It’s nice to see, because sometimes when you see a fork of a project it’s because someone abandoned it or there is some kind of community drama, but that doesn’t seem to be the case afaik.

Wow, this looks amazing. I’ll have to check it out to see how sharing/collaboration works though.

I also found a fork called NotallyX, which includes import functions from Keep and Evernote. Pretty useful for someone migrating.

What benefits do you find in particular that make it better than hosting yourself?

Wow, this has some neat features and it looks great on any size screen. I will be following this for sure

This is a very cool project! With a few minor developments this could meet my needs

Yep. You can pay with your data, you can pay a corporation, or you can pay open source developers directly.

If someone can’t afford to pay, or doesn’t believe in it, that’s fine, and that’s part of what open source is, which is amazing. But if you’re in a position to support foss developers, and they created something useful for you, I think it’s the least we can do.

I pay for all of the software that I use, and encourage others to do so as well. That’s not what this is at all. Pretty much the opposite effect.
