I mean some people are complaining about the price. But I don't care about the price necessarily, as I'm not "protesting". I'm simply tired of participating in the shittification of social media sites while they seek to monetize us. So them charging anything, or attempting to be profitable, is inherently the turnoff for me, because there is an inevitable path that a for-profit social media website takes.
I'm not sure why Mastodon posts always end up looking so bad on Lemmy. The title is always gored and the post always has hashtags that do nothing in Lemmy. Just because they're technically cross compatible doesn't mean they should be.
I mean it's fair to say that there have been many performance issues as most of the federations were not prepared for the mass influx of people, and for someone literally brand new and without context it's hard to differentiate between temporary performance issues and fundamental flaws. I agree that all the bellyaching is laughably naive about how quickly websites and services come together and evolve, but we can't pretend that the growing pains haven't happened.
That's been true from the mobile app for a while. Whenever I save a photo from the reddit app it comes with a watermark that says what sub it's from.
You could always unsubscribe from general communities in lemmy.world and subscribe to general communities on other instances instead.
Hopefully there will be a Lemmy equivalent to r/fuckcars and r/YIMBY soon enough.
I specifically moved somewhere where we could use more public transit because my climate anxiety was overwhelming me.
How many people are working on Lemmy?
the 500 comment limit made the concept of daily threads replacing common questions a killer on subs like r/fitness. "Has this question been asked before? Well, instead of being able to pull up several threads about this topic, I have to go through the daily threads of hundreds of days and search the comments for keywords - after increasing the number of comments visible from 200 to 500, and then still not being able to search all the comments on the 1000+ comment threads." Just genuinely became unusable.
The linking issue is a big one that they will need to figure out how to make work. If you can't share a community easily there's just no way this is going to get big.
Thank you! Even just seeing the url format helps me understand the relationship a lot better.
I recommend browsing videos from Squat University on Instagram and seeing if you can identify the specific type and cause of knee pain and rehabbing that before you write it off as "part of aging".
