X=7 minutes for well done. Anyone who eats prime rib well done cannot be trusted and needs to burn in hell.

I think without account karma the loyalty to the account would be less for the average person. The more annoying part is the communities you’ve subscribed to and finding them again. I think a simple download of a list that automates resubscribing on a new account would ease that issue for most people.

For an active user would be that you lose access to communities you created. That is a real logistical problem. I started on lemmy.ml and crelated a community then realized that lemmy.world ran a lot smoother (at the time) and moved. I luckily still have access to my original account so I was able to appoint my new account as a mod. So problem solved. If your instance splodes you lose that ability. But likely your sub went with it too anyway.

I guess the real problem I am identifying here is while the fediverse itself is decentralized, your account isn’t. It is locked onto one instance and the fediverse is volatile.

Maybe add an ability to attach your account on 2 or 3 instances and keep them synced? If one goes rogue then you have a backup that’s still on the fediverse? You can then defederate yourself from one if needed.

Idk.

I guess running a small private instance just for yourself is the best answer.

I have my skepticisms about this whole thing. While I know the answer is “they will be defederated”, what if one of the big ones, like lemmy.world or lemmy.ml get huge, then sell out to something like Meta?

We lost 3rd party apps and we are morning the biggest breakup we’ve ever had with reddit. Say the server you’ve had your account on for so long and all your content gets taken over by a giant with strategically placed adds that are upvoted by bot armies for visibility. They may get defederated, but that means Meta just came in and destroyed a huge chunk of users accounts while gaining some ad revenue for a bit until the community dies. Everyone has to actively pack up their shit and move to another instance. I guess the loyalty to an account is less with a lack of account karma so it wouldn’t burn as bad.

You would lose all your subscribed communities when you are forced to move out. That would suck. Too bad you couldn’t export like a .db file from your account on the way out and upload it to another account on another instance. Possibly some sort of encrypted key so you can auto add as a mod to any community you were modding on your previous account. No clue if that makes any sense. Kinda Like a lemmy “Go-Bag”?

I don’t know, just thinking ahead of the shenanigans that’s going to happen if this really starts making a dent in huge corporations user counts.

Beef patties and those are onion rings not hash browns.

Makes me want to go back and edit my posts to f*** /u/spez because I don’t want them getting traffic off of my content. But also don’t want that entire collection of human data gone if everyone did the same.

Too bad we can’t all export and reconstruct our conversations here somehow.

My posts are 99% shitposts anyway, so it doesn’t really matter, nothing constructive to mankind.

Thank you so much for your work. This app is awesome for the early stages and this update improved functionality massively. I have zero context of how to make suggestions for the app. I mean it in a constructive way. So here it goes.

1. In your inbox have a way to see the context of that response. Currently, If you click on it, it opens the entire thread and you have to sort through it to find your comment. In large threads that’s a big issue.

2. Not sure how possible it is to make the functionality to be able to create groups of communities. For example, if there is an [email protected] and [email protected] and [email protected] etc a user can add all them as they find them to a multicatagory they created named awww… consolidating them from a user’s standpoint but still keeping things decentralized.

3. Make an option for a user to set a default sort/home page. Like clicking home can be set to default to “all” or “subscribed” sorted by “Hot” or “Active”.
