You’ll see a list of all accounts that upvoted your OP. Why this isn’t possible on Lemmy is completely unclear to me.
Just like I don’t understand why Lemmy allows for downvotes. It’s not valuable and induces toxic behavior IMO.
It’s also possible to view what account upvoted you by viewing your post on a Kbin instance.
I think it’s rather silly that this information is obfuscated on Lemmy.
And it’s only possible to upvote on Kbin. Which makes more sense to me as well.
Voyager is now available as a native app in the app/play store
Voyager is extremely impressive for what it is - webapp
It’s not only a webapp anymore, but also available as native app now
You don’t need to. Voyager was just released in the app store
It’s a known issue:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1637
The point I’m trying to make clearly isn’t understood.
What I read are lots of Lemmy fans that don’t think through the lack of migration tools or blocking DMs are serious shortcomings and it obviously makes no sense to continue developing a front end if these aren’t fixed first.
But apparently many people think that’s very logical.
I hope you can come here again once the platform is a bit more polished.
Thanks and I hope so too. I’ve given it a try for four weeks.
That said: people respond with ad hominems on Lemmy as well. In fact, one of the comments to my OP is only ad hominem.
I think you cannot directly dictate what should be done
Of course, but that’s not the point of this post.
none of these issues are deal breaker
Imagine setting up a community, having thousands of subscribers and the administrator of the instance your community is hosted on pulls the plug.
And yes, I know people can host their own instance (see OP). But that won’t happen.
You’re not discussing the issue I bring up, but me.
That isn’t something I’m interested in, but some people clearly find it difficult to refrain from doing that.
Goodbye.
That’s not the point.
The donation page ‘rewards’ those with a mention, but doesn’t allow development in a certain direction.
You give money, but those who receive it get to decide what they do with it. Look at the GitHub page and check for yourself what is being done with that money.
Again, it’s their choice, but I think they should focus on much more fundamental issues. If the foundation of your house is missing, what’s the point of adding fancy woodwork to the outside? Or donating to a project where people decide they want to spend it on fancy woodwork while leaving the foundation problematic.
What I wrote was:
and therefore my critique is obviously unfair to sone extent: who am I to point out what’s wrong with Lemmy?
But you didn’t cite that. Is there a reason to leave that out of your citation?
You’re completely missing the point. Going back to Reddit isn’t contradictory, because the number of users far exceed the downsides.
Good to know it’s possible to delete an account. Did you actually try it or are you only looking at the user interface? Because I know there’s a button. That’s not the issue.
Did you review the Patreon page? I’m not interested in having my name displayed. I’m interested in having the developers take a certain direction.
Donating for hardware (like donating to Lemmy instance administrators) is also completely different.
But donating to some group of developers without being able to influence the direction of development really feels like a money pit to me. I’d rather spend my money on charities. Access to dev chatroom is the closest you can get.
My point with regard to Voyager is: there’s no point in building a beautiful house (because Voyager is very good), if you know the foundation of the house is missing.
And specifically the lack of migration tools is a very fundamental issue IMO. Yes, it might be developed in the future. But it might also take years, who knows.
Mastodon still doesn’t allow quote posts (some clients do though) because quote-tweets (or should I say quote-Xs?) can be used in a toxic way. Development promised to implement them in the back-end months ago, but it still isn’t possible. Searching is also absent on purpose. Those are fundamental issue that block further growth of Mastodon IMO. But that’s obviously just my opinion.
That’s why I think Voyager devs should spend time on Lemmy development IMO. Without a fundamental tool to migrate accounts and communities, there’s really no point in spending time on Voyager features.
I think most Lemmy users haven’t experienced an instance administrator suddenly quitting. Think through what would happen to your community if that happens. It’s gone. That’s what happens. Unless you decide to host your own instance of course, but try and get users attracted to it.
What will Apple do if they if the EU continues their plans with regard to client side scanning? That’s not one country, but many.
Apple previously planned on introducing client side scanning, but backed out after they received a high amount of critique.
The developers can bring out both.
But it’s already possible. If you review this OP on a Kbin instance, you’ll see who upvoted the comment with most upvotes.
Not integrating it means you give the impression to users it’s not public information. But it is public.
Apparently, Kbin users can also see what Lemmy users upvote them. Is that correct?
What platform? Windows? Unix? Linux?
A close cousin of Lemmy is Mastodon. If you consider Lemmy a federated version of Reddit, then Mastodon is a federated version of Twitter.
The largest Mastodon server is probably Truth Social, on which former president Trump posts his messages after being banned from Twitter.
Truth Social uses the same protocol as Mastodon of Lemmy: ActivityPub. The difference: the Truth Social administrators blocked the Truth Social server from sending out messages to or receiving messages from other servers. So it’s a private Mastodon.
Bottom line: if you run your own Lemmy server you can block whatever server you want or none at all. And others can block your server if they want. If you create ab account at somebody else’s Lemmy server, the administrator can decide to block other Lemmy servers.
If you use a Mastodon account, it’s very easy to migrate to another server including your followers. Lemmy accounts do not appear to offer that functionality (yet?), but I expect a migration tool will be created in the future. So if an administrator decides to block another Lemmy server, but you don’t like that, you might easily move to another server. As of yet, you can’t however and need to create an account on another Lemmy server.
The beauty of federating servers is that everybody can setup their own server, provided they own a domain name.
In theory I could start a server registered to unanimousstargazer.social and create an account called @unanimousstargazer@unanimousstargazer.social and participate in the fediverse. If I choose to block Meta, then that’s my choice.
I agree people are unnecessarily making a fuzz about this, as it’s their own choice to join a server or not. The fediverse is open, so why can’t Meta join. That’s up to them. And if I want to block them, that’s up to me.
That’s the problem. Downvotes often aren’t used properly.
