I’m doing it exactly like I was doing it on reddit, that is, build up my personal home page with all the communities I want to see then I changed my settings to default to subscribed when opening Lemmy instead of All.
Every now and then I check the list of all communities to see if there’s something new worth following, that way it’s also easier to avoid communities that do a lot of spamming, overwhelming the smaller (more interesting IMO) ones.
I’m a fringe case then lol, I keep them until they actually break, they do last 4-5 years for me, sometimes more, I don’t make intense use of my phone, I much prefer using my PC for basically everything.
Thank you for reacting so quickly!
True, I bought an ipad more than 7 years ago to read because e-readers are too small for my liking.
I don’t use it much anymore since I have an e-writer now, but it still receives updates regularly, whatever comes to my phone comes to it as well, it’s impressive.
Happy to hear companies are finally getting it.
Well, Google isn’t famous for being reliable in the long run with their services, Apple is proven at this point, tho who knows, I’ll wait a few years and see if Google is still at it with their Pixels.
That’s the reason why I switched to iPhone after many years of Android, security updates are vital nowadays with all the sensitive data and apps we use on our phones, Apple is the only one that guarantees al least 5 years, iPhones are not too expensive if you don’t buy the latest models and I’d rather avoid supporting companies that don’t understand the importance of security.
The performance improvement is very noticeable, thank you so much everyone for the excellent job!
Fantastic news! Can we please do the same on lemmy.world? Please?
No, but it’s highly unlikely since before it’s been buttered it doesn’t know yet which side to fall upon.
I was thinking the same, especially after seeing several posts “demanding” Lemmy to change this and change that.
I mean, that’s not to say there’s no room for improvements, but if the first thing some people do when going to a new platform is wanting changes to meet their personal way of doing things, instead to try and adapt first to how the platform works and learn from it, in my opinion it means those people are not really interested in being here and make lemmy succeed, they’re just following the “flavor of the month” and won’t last long here anyway.
I think the fediverse being not so intuitive might be a very good thing actually, it can act as a sort of filter so it doesn’t succumb to the masses ruining everything, hopefully.
Lemmy.world is not upgrading to 0.18 because they removed captcha, admins are waiting for 0.18.1 in which captcha is being re-implemented, it’s discussed here: https://lemmy.world/post/469761
Valid concerns IMO, I was shocked to see how advanced those GPT bots are.
I was on a discord chat and there were 4-5 of them chatting with people there, at some point they started arguing with each other, if they weren’t clearly marked as bots I probably wouldn’t be able to recognize them.
Hilarious on one side, scary on the other side, I can’t imagine how much damage they could do in malicious hands.
Welcome to lemmy :D
Why are there so many servers letting u see the same content?
For the same reason there are different subreddits talking about the same things, freedom of choice.
It’s like having multiple Apollo sites that lets u access the “fediverse”
You do, there are different apps with different names that let you access reddit, the fact you chose Apollo doesn’t mean everyone else did.
Why can’t we all agree on one server to access the whole thing.
Because that would totally defeat the purpose of the fediverse, that is, having many decentralized instances so that if a few die the fediverse itself can go on living regardless.
It’s also to avoid corporate control, if everything was a on single server it would be way too easy for a company to get hold of it, like it is now it’s extremely difficult.
Because if you don’t you risk burnout?
They offer software updates for >6 years
That was the reason why I migrated to iPhone last year.
I used Android for many years, but I got tired of vendors stopping system updates after 6 months or so of a model being out.
I keep my phone at least 4-5 years, even more if it doesn’t break, and with all the sensitive data and apps we keep on it nowadays (mobile banking, digital identities, authenticators, etc.) it’s not acceptable to stay years without security fixes.
It’s true that apple devices are expensive but it’s enough to not buy the latest models, get a bit older one and you can get it for the same price as a medium-high Android.
Good question, I never heard of it, but I checked it now, looks quite powerful, going to try it, thanks for sharing!
It’s not a rat, it’s a Lemming.
Reddit is a play on words “I read it -> on reddit”
I used it a lot years ago, I can confirm it’s extremely easy, both using it an customizing it, I haven’t seen another editor making it so straightforward and easy to setup your own color coding for example (I used that a lot for dokuwiki pages), but I thought that project was abandoned at some point so I switched to codium.
I see by your post that it’s still being actively developed, I’ll give it another shot, thanks for sharing.
