The entire series on Mangadex if anyone wants to check out a porn(esque) manhua that got got strangely compelling out of the blue: https://mangadex.org/title/5bcbf045-54ec-4d3d-a1d4-73823de3e107/what-happens-inside-the-dungeon
Good luck!
I reckon if you put together a working concept/skeleton, others would probably be happy to help out or point you in the right direction. Much easier to work together on a project when someone has put in the leg work to get something together.
I don’t care for it.
People think the “content” of Reddit is the submissions that are made, but that’s not actually that true at all. When people pointed out their ability to get information using search engines degraded due to widespread comment blackouts and protests on Reddit, it wasn’t because the submissions were inaccessible, but because the individual comments and chained discussions that became inaccessible.
Cross-posting from Reddit brings over the submission, but not the comments or discussions related to the submission, and ultimately that is what should be of interest.
Sure there’s not a lot of conversations here in general, but I can 100% assure you cross-posting to bring submissions over here is not going to generate much more.
The front page sidebar indicates that NSFW content is hidden away from visitors without an account, and this is a Lemmy restriction, rather than a Burggit one.
I don’t follow Lemmy’s development so perhaps it might change in the future (either with an upstream change or forking the codebase and making further adjustments, which is what I think lemmynsfw did).
Who the heck knows lol
Incompetent the whole lot really
Yes, but are calzones a sandwich? Is pizza an open-faced sandwich? Why am I asking these questions?
I definitely have no skin in the game here, but wow just skimming some of the discussion topics, it sounds like a small group of people want to monopolize a fairly easy to vocalize domain for a very specific purpose of power-modding it rather than any sincere attempt at being an all-encompassing community.
Kind of like how some people are moderators / owners for some 30-40 communities on popular instances and flooding some of them with submissions as if all they do for a day job is to do that under the guise of “sharing content” while giving little to no room for anything to stick long enough to garner discussion (I don’t know about the next person, but the “content” is the discussion, not the shared link).
These people are not leaders nor are they effective community managers. Rather they want to monopolize the community to serve a particular motive, and are leveraging the fact they’ve become “landed gentry” to shape a community that fits their wishes, rather than one spun together by the engagement of its members.
Think it’s funny that the lemmynsfw instance is having its own internal mutiny. tl;dr - ex-admin reported the server to their host prompting a server migrate
Yea.
Well, either way, there’s a good chance such a feature gets not-maintained and then deprecated in 1-2 years because that’s just how Mozilla tends to roll.
Mozilla never fails to self-own itself.
Which is unfortunate, because I still rather use Firefox than Chrome/Chromium browsers nowadays, but it would be nice if Mozilla kept its focus on improving Firefox and its tooling rather than features like these that, even under the best of intentions, are very suspect.
I reckon such a feature would start catching on, even if it’s on client side.
The entire point of federation is to allow duplicate threads (kind of like how different forums can have the exact same discussion thread), but a consequence is it does spread activity out, and from my PoV, at least in the short term making things seem less active than they actually are is a bit discouraging for people to want to commit.
Cross-posting is also supported innately so that’s nice.
It’s different. I wish I had the ability to create a meta-community (or meta-instance) that pulls communities from different instances together into one feed without having to mass-subscribe to all of them.
The fact there are multiple communities of the same or similar interest spread across multiple instances makes it much harder to get a good grasp of actual activity, so it takes more effort to reach a critical mass.
It’ll get better with time since Lemmy is still pretty underdeveloped as software.
Institutional momentum is really hard to overcome. Sometimes people are willing to move (e.g. Skype/Teamspeak/Ventrillo/Mumble to Discord), sometimes not so much (Reddit to Lemmy).
I really appreciate the article flagging both Microsoft and Apple but really only devoting a single paragraph speculating on what Apple might do:
These are all third party offerings (some perhaps in partnership with Apple), not a direct Apple product. At least as far as I can tell, Apple hasn’t had a significant push towards making a core part of their desktop computing experience a cloud-based experience. A comparison would be between Keynote versus Powerpoint, with the former still an actual application shipped with macOS whereas the latter is now primarily offered through the Office365 subscription cloud based service and a separate purchase needed for a dedicated software application.
Between WindowsCloudBookOS, macOS, and Linux, I reckon a lot of people would rather settle with macOS once WindowsCloudBookOS is required rather than work with Linux, in so far as Apple’s product offerings remain compelling versus scouring the internet for figuring out what pre-built hardware plays nicely with Linux.
Now with that said, Microsoft’s cloud push is increasingly frustrating. LibreOffice and de-Googling / de-Microsofting would be such a great goal, and supporting efforts like Valve’s on SteamDeck and SteamOS to further enhance and build out the tools to allow games to run on Linux will increase reach.
Fundamentally though, MS in particular will remain the vendor of choice for most large institutions due to institutional momentum, which moves glacially slow, and it’s very hard to transition the day-to-day people using MS tools to something comparable. I don’t see many institutions mandating a switch to Linux client-side, and depending on institutional requirements the “thin client” approach solves some headache (e.g. particularly private or sensitive data may be better accessed using a thin client through a VPN to minimize the ability for the data to leave premises).
