Go on... please. How did it help you?

beSyl ,

And last but not least, you get to feel morally superior!

Seriously, thank you for being vegan/vegetarian. We will look back at how we treat animals with disgust.

Be careful with sauna daily. I saw an observational study a while back that showed that while sauna use was correlated with lower disease, that was only seen at around 3-4 times a week, and up to a certain temperature. More than that (frequency and temperature) and you no longer saw sauna benefits. I will see if I can find the paper later.

I mean... You guys should really start caring about domain names.. That domain name is both hard to type and hard to spell.. Domain names are important people.

Since it is still in its infancy, I would suggest buying a proper name. Might seem harsh, but ya.

beSyl , (edited )

Ya, I know. But a few months/years, it is going to be even harder.

Just some ideas. If you decide to keep the domain name, I wish you the best. Regardless, welcome to Lemmy brother! The more the merrier.

beSyl OP ,

Can you please clearly state your argument? I have no idea what you mean.

beSyl OP ,

Ya, I think if it were the other way around, the nice devs using Rust and the not so nice devs using Python, the decision would be much easier.

beSyl OP ,

It is still important to support the better project, be it with our attention, or with our money/donations. What "better" means here depends on the metric.

Again, in this time and age, specially with everything going on around the world, I would hope that there is more thought about using/buying something.

beSyl OP , (edited )

This is not about an instance, it is about a project.

And also, different people have different metrics for what constitutes "best". Picking what one would think is "best" would not crash an instance. What are you talking about..

beSyl OP , (edited )

Page loading speed is interesting. Your link only tested on mobile. A few days ago I did a non-scientific test, on desktop, (just me browing on piefed) and I thought lemmy was faster. But I may be wrong, or it was just instance specific.

First time here: What are some tips or rules I should know?

Hello. My first time here. As the title says, this is my first “thread” creation here. What are some things I should watch out for when I post here? Am I even allowed to create a thread even though this is my first time here? Or are there rules like Karma points, like in Reddit? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks. And...

Help us make this a better place. We need to increase the userbase, so smaller communities become viable. You can help by:

  • talking about lemmy/piefed outside of lemmy/piefed
  • engage with lemmy/piefed. By commenting and posting. Preferably in posts that have few comments. Reply to people.
beSyl OP , (edited )

It is possible to increase the userbase without inviting the whole world. Lemmy may have a bigger learning curve than, say, Instagram, but that is fine. Maybe not having people who can't understand how lemmy works is a good thing. There are, however, many many people who would understand how lemmy works that have not yet learned about it or have but are not using it. Those are the people to whom we should cater.

We should still, of course, improve the UI/UX as much as possible. Though I feel like Piefed is better for this. Lemmy devs are not receptive to suggestions, not at all. I tried. If the idea did not come from their heads, they reject it.

beSyl OP ,

That is what subscriptions and the local timeline are for. The "all" should show whatever is getting the most attention.

The issues you are seeing are due to the small userbase. With a bigger userbase, your local timeline would be fuller. With a bigger userbase, you would be able to see plenty of content in non-meme communities and non-politics community.

beSyl OP ,

I agree. First impressions are important. Perhaps there could be some "click here to change timeline" in the UI?

But again, this is mainly an issue due to the small userbase. With a bigger userbase, the memes and politics would not be so prevalent, hopefully. We would have smaller, text-based communities taking some of the attention.

beSyl OP ,

You could mitigate the problem of the small userbase with our current userbase, by just, for example, posting more of type X and less of type Y. That would be one answer to this post: what can one do, individually, to increase the userbase.

beSyl OP ,

This would not be such a bad idea, honestly. Or just some small stickers that people place on their laptops.

However, I feel like we should see who comes on top, lemmy or PieFed. I feel like piefed might be our best option tbh. The lemmy devs don't seem to be open to ideas, not to mention their whole stance on politics.

It is a xiaomi device. Android 13, running xiaomi hyperOS

That floating button is set to auto hide.

Edit: I actually don't know what you mean by this. I have "show floating button" enabled. It hides when down scrolling and is shown when up scrolling. But that is hard coded I think. I couldn't find an option for that.

beSyl OP ,

Ah.. They are always there!

beSyl ,

You should watch season 2 of Andor!!!

beSyl ,

This. If I had to name 1 show that everyone should watch, it would be this.

I take 1 bath every two weeks or so. I do scalding hot water and turn the heat on in the bathroom. Basically, I want it sauna-like. I then stay in the bath for 2 hours so.. It's amazing.

beSyl ,

Specifically, vaccination for herpes zoster. I will be trying to get my parents vaccinated for that. Dunno if they already are.. Is it a "mandatory/suggested" vaccine in the EU? I need to check.

beSyl ,

Window lickers? Never heard that term.

beSyl ,

That cleverkeys keyboard is... suspicious? Only 2 stars? 0 issues. Never heard of it. Seems like such a keyboard would be much more known, no? Do your due diligence before you install it, it is a keyboard, with potential to cause some serious damage.

I don't think a GRBurst is painless. Humans would still suffer greatly, from radiation poisoning symptoms. Infections, internal bleeding, etc. It would take days...

I don't think a Gamma Ray Burst would vaporize everything.. But I may be wrong.

beSyl ,

I love that show. And unless the original, human, "others" are aware of the whole thing, that is, if the humans are trapped in their own minds/bodies, then I think the pluribus effect is a net positive. Pretty much all human suffering has ended. To rollback the whole thing is to create an incalculable amount of suffering.

Do you buy used phones? How do you deal with the battery? Used phones generally have old batteries, no?

I just buy a cheap/budget (mid?) phone, 200 EUR max, every 5 years or so..

beSyl ,

Spray fucking sucks. Half of it stays in the air. Horrible for the environment, air quality. You will also inhale a good portion of it. Please, do not use those in shared spaces, such as gym lockers.. I have asthma and it immediately exacerbates it.

beSyl ,

This is not really the question though. It was forked BECAUSE of the whole "fiasco". OP is asking what happened, as in, what made the dev give up on the project. This was a big topic back then.

beSyl ,

It is a bit weird that AirVPN has not been audited...

beSyl ,

Yes, I use mullvad VPN on Linux. It works fine. You don't need their client, of course, but it is good.

beSyl ,

What??

beSyl ,

Oh wow.. He seeks to be ant alt right in disguise. God damn it.
