  • What?
    Well, I can only speak for myself, I’m not here to follow users but communities.
    And if someone wants to follow me I’d see it as kind of annoying for them seeing all the different topics I post and comment instead of something focused.

    IMO the ability to see Mastodon interactions in Lemmy and vice-versa is quite annoying since they use the same protocol for different experiences.



  • Unless they’ve changed how it works I can confirm.
    Some months ago I was testing lemmy in my local I used the same URL to create a new post, it never showed up in the ui, it was because Lemmy treated it as a crosspost and hid it under the older one.
    At that time it was only a crosspost jf the URL was the same, I’m not so sure about the title, but the body could be different.

    The thing would be to verify if this grouping is being done by the UI or by the server, which might explain some UIs showing duplicated posts.











  • My issue with TotK is the memories are explained in a quest kind of hidden. In BotW it they told you to go to kakariko and there were the memories, but in TotK lookout landing doesn’t tell you about them, you need to stumble upon Impa at a stable.

    Then in BotW if you went only to the divine beasts you were given 4 memories and could kind of make sense of the story.
    In TotK each regional phenomenon gives you the same information so at the 3rd I was annoyed.

    TotK spilers:
    (I don’t know how to markdown spoilers here haha) :::
    At the end of the TotK I had no idea at all what the dragon meant, I had no attachment to it and only thought about “what a cool fight”. After the memories I finally felt emotional thinking she wasn’t going to be back… But the bad part was that I already knew and couldn’t enjoy the same excitement of watching her again!
    I’m angry, I feel like they stole me of that emotion.

  • a $2 base subscription with an extra $1 for notifications

    This for me is the stupid part about this, reddit is forcing developers to paywall any functionality.
    Want the app to automatically refresh your subs each day? $0.5 please.
    Want faster loads of each sub? $1 (Sleig mentioned Apollo first pulls 20 posts and then 100 to improve loading, so 2 requests instead of 1).
    You reached the average number of calls: do you want continue for $1?
    (I’m guessing mods take more requests since they have to see more context about users, posts, comments) do you want mod tools? $2
    Is mod mail a separate request? If so then: would you like to have it for $1 more?

    And on and on with every new feature which requires more requests than normal.


  • I’m running my personal instance, I haven’t had any issue interacting.
    AFAIK it would help spread the load since my instance just asks/receives the activity once from other instances and then aggregates everything locally.

    So each time I access a post I need to ask: How many upvotes does it have? How many comments? Which ones are new? From those comments how many upvotes each one has? Which ones are replays to others? Also, get me pfp of each user.
    I just changed the sorting, either main feed or comments in a post, well I need to ask in what order they should be displayed.

    All of these queries are done only in my own instance with my instance’s DB.

    In this case beehaw.org just sends “Hey this post got an upvote”, and my instance figures out how it would affect the rest of the posts in my feed.

    Also, right now lemmy.ml is taking a toll with all the new users, it takes a while to refresh the page and get any update, but with my instance I can keep scrolling and reading the data my instance already got from lemmy.ml or any other instance.
