Come one come all to the Lemmy-verse! It’s nice and cozy here, we do have some “bad parts of town” but you can do an instance block and not deal with them lol
For your memes we have [email protected] if you like sciency posts mander.xyz has some excellent communities (communities=subreddits) like [email protected] and [email protected] and for a meme science combo theres always the fantastic [email protected]
You can also drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or hang out at [email protected] (though you do have to post before you leave that one!)
There’s much more around as well!
Obligatory, fuck Spez
You must log in or # to comment.
Also, it defaults to “Active” view, which is the least updated. You can set your posts to “Hot” and then switch between “Top 6 Hours” and “Top 12 Hours” to get the most of your experience here. It will seem dead with the default.
I usually sort by new comments. Sometimes you’ll see 1 year old post still active in the comments. It’s neat
Game changer
I still wish there was a better sort algorithm. Nothing compares to Reddit’s front page algorithm. I usually cycle between hot and top 12 hours.
I think it is good that we don’t have reddits front page algorithm. I want to stay in charge of curating my feed and prefer there not to be intransparent fuckery in the background.
I want to know that a post with 850 upvotes has indeed been upvoted by 900 accounts and downvoted by 50 accounts, instead of some weird calculations up- or downscaling it.
I’m definitely not saying the algorithm should be a hidden secret, or lie about the up/down vote count. It is all open source of course!
Reddit had this sweet spot where it could push some trending posts to the top of the page within 30 minutes, but also let a story sit for a few hours while it was getting lots of engagement. But generally there is a new front page every few hours or so.
The only way I can get this is by alternating between hot and top 12 hours. But even this is nowhere near as good as the Reddit algorithm.
Yeah, redfots hot algorthym has been finetuned to perfection
intransparent
Opaque?
I checked a translator. In my main language intransparent is the typical term to mean the opposite of transparency in the context of actions of politicans, institutions, etc. The word seem to exist in English but not really used like this.
How would you refer to something, where the information is withheld, even though it should be available information to legitimize the way something is handled, i.e. a government agency?
Yeah I understood what you meant by “intransparent” but it’s not something I’ve ever heard anyone say. “Opaque” is the opposite of the literal meaning of transparent, e.g. a window is transparent, a wall is opaque.
To describe information not being shown I’d probably say obfuscated, opaque, or maybe just hidden.
In the United States, “lack of transparency” or “not transparent” is mostly used. Although “opaque” is sometimes used in some circles of people.
Your English is excellent. I think intransparent works, though it might have the tendency to sound somewhat delicate, as if you needed to avoid saying a simpler antonym, which has the funny side-effect of making you sound like an intellectual or a similar type of advanced speaker.
Wow great word in going to use it.
Top 6 and ALL is where it’s at.
There’s even some instances with old reddit-like styling/formatting, if you’re into that sort of thing.
I’ll pimp my example: https://old.lemmy.fan/
Given the instance we are on: https://old.feddit.uk/
i’ve only ever used https://old.lemmy.ca/
That works great on mobile!
Man Reddit really has something with that old UI. The new one runs like trash.
The Connect app is based off RiF. Best Lemmy app by far
I loved RiF, but think Sync is better than Connect.
Sync hasn’t been updated in 11 months counting. The bugs are adding up and the dev is more mia than ever, even when charging monthly fees.
I swapped to Summit a couple months back. It’s been a huge improvement. All of the “lemmy” issues I thought I had disappeared.
Is that true!? Wow, maybe I will check out other options. I’ve just spent so much time customizing all the options to get it juuuust right…
Yup, last update was march 2024.
Check out summit. It’s also deeply configurable.
I’m really liking it here!
Welcome!
Glad to be here!!

For help migrating: [email protected]
This name should really be changed to something else
They’ve changed the display name but the ID can’t be altered as, I presume, it counts as the address.
Would be a good opportunity to try out the concept of migration, which is the new name of the community
Fair.
For awhile I thought that there were stacks of people on lemmy.world constantly complaining about tankies. But now I’m starting to realise that most of the posts are from this one dude, cm0002. Frankly, it’s a little bit weird.
Watching him ‘help’ the fediverse grow by constantly trying to divide and ostracise people would be ironic if it wasn’t so obviously dumb
Definitely a hobby of his
Or a job…
I feel like professionals would be better at it.
Troll farm types usually don’t post as much casual content as he does.
Well, not from one account anyway.
That’s fair.
This whole topic has been the crusade of like two or three people.
The result is mostly just a fourth person being able to post shit like breibart without harassment.
Lemmy is still rather small.
Yeah its pretty pathetic.

You can tell they’re communists cuz they live rent free in the heads of every .world user.
calling tankies communists is like calling Scandinavia socialist
I think people are just bothered because they’re tankies
idk, with how folks call out others for being a tankie, it sounds a lot more like the new pinko
I guess if the person being called a pinko was a socialist. Pejorative for sure but not wrong.

There’s no reality in which anyone or anything is rent free in our heads.
Wow somebody is a big reality understander. Impressive.
(Seriously tho it’s called a metaphor.)
