Thanks so much for being here and taking reddit refugees in. Already feels like a warm place. :)
QUESTIONS:
-
Is there a way to filter out content I don't want to see on the front page? I'm already seeing Trump news, for example.
-
I have subscribed to some cool communities. It would be great to have posts from those communities served up as my main view. I can't figure out how to get those to be what I'm seeing by default. Any tips on customizing my experience?
Thanks again!!
You can filter out communities and users via your profile settings, but I don't know of a way to filter on specific words/terms/regex.
Okay, thank you. Yeah - looks like that's the case. Thanks!
For question 1: I don't think that's a feature unfortunately.
For question 2: The main screen has three views : Subscribed (All your subscriptions) / Local (All Beehaw communities) / All (All of the stuff on Lemmy)
Okay, thank you. I just saw the Subscribed option. The UX could be a bit clearer, overall... but so far, this is great. I'm bummed about the inability to filter out content I don't want to see, though.
Thanks for the quick answers! :)
The UX could be a bit clearer, overall
Feel free to add suggestions to the devs' Issue tracker on Github (after searching for duplicates). Could take them a while to respond since they're very busy bees preparing the next big Lemmy release right now.
I think it might be a bug, cause i cant figure ou another explanation for it, but sometimes my local shows lemmy.world mixed in with beehaw (I do subscribe to them and a bunch of others but thats the only one that does that) and all does nothing at all, it just remixes local.
I have to insist a bit for the page to actually show me the all page. It's completely understandable considering everything right now, so I'm not really annoyed at it.
I think you have the "Randomly appear posts at the top" bug that is unfortunately fairly common. I would hope it's fixed in the next update to Lemmy we're doing tomorrow morning.

I think this is the first time that I saw someone's voluntary art work compensated after being implemented in a community. The transparency is surreal and very admirable. Thank you for compensating artists and valuing the art that @UrLogicFails@beehaw.org made c:
Said this in a private chat, but I'll repeat it here for transparency
While we can't guarantee anything with regards to donations, I will always vote to pay artists even if it meant we had to go begging for donos to help run the site later
Agreed! The icons are great, and the open compensation and transparency is lovely as well.
Love the icon set, really love that @UrLogicFails@beehaw.org gets more than just credit.
I love the new icons, now they fit perfectly with the instance. I think that we also need a new logo, maybe a more minimalistic one (while still having the cowboy bee).
Fit perfectly is right. I refreshed and my eyes instantly detected a change but it took a minute to hone in on what it was. They just fit in like they’ve always been there. Fantastic execution.

This post right here has convinced me that Beehaw is something special. It makes me so happy to see the community respected in this way
Pretty phenomenal. Love you uniformity it gives the Beewas SubLems.
Oh man you guys are the best
Thank you @alyaza@beehaw.org and the rest of the Beehaw admin team. You all have been so welcoming (not just to me, but to everyone), and I look forward to working with you more in the future!
I love the icons! Congrats! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with for future new communities.

When I made my contribution I was only thinking about the technical side, but I am pleased to see that I'm now also a patron of the arts. This is a great development and makes me look forward to what's in store as this project develops. Thanks for thinking bigger.
I love the new icons, it's much easier for me to immediately identify which communities are beehaw vs not-beehaw in jerboa.
Yes, a distinct theme will help remind people from other instances to beehave when they participate on ours 😄
One thing I just noticed: some of the community sidebars have a blurb about the icons' authorship and licensing, but the license link may need to be clarified. On Gaming and Technology, for example, the text of the link says CC BY 4.0, but the underlying link points to CC BY-SA 4.0.
working on it lol, most of them don't even have it yet
Yes! Love seeing where home is at a glance~ they're beautiful ! 💕
I like the consistency! good job admins and @UrLogicFails@beehaw.org!
These are fantastic. Love the honeycomb design.
I love them, they're beeutiful! 🐝
Congrats, @UrLogicFails@beehaw.org!
The transparency of expenses really helps bolster trust and it's awesome we're compensating an artist for their work! Gives a little bit of hope.
Agreed! I know many would contribute for free to help the server, but art is so chronically underpaid.
And the amount of times we hear people trying to get out of paying the artist or designer...it really put me off trying to freelance as an artist (not to mention the anxiety making art brought me lately...)

Love the new icons and I really love that the artist was compensated for his work.
I really like them more . Great job guys
They look amazing! I much prefer how they fit the layout than the old icons.
They look great! They really tie the room together.
they look lovely :)
The new icons look great! They really help instantly distinguish that a post is on Beehaw with the honeycomb design.
Love the new icons, and love love the fact that Beehaw is treating the creator right. That makes this site's team better than AMPTP!
They look great! 🐝
This is great - they really distinguish themselves well from other communities.
Bees!
Noticed them immediately! I love yellow accents on things, and fits right into the bee theme being a hexagon (bestagon) and all.
I see you're a person of taste
I really like the new icons, really keeps with the whole bee theme!
