Is there any way to get ad free without a subscription? I was happy to buy a paid version of the app before, but an ongoing subscription isn't really what I want.

Edit: it is not advertised as much as Ultra, but there is a one off payment option to remove ads, in the sidebar. Which I purchased!

Anything that references prosecco. See: "Come in if you have Prosecco" doormats.

I wasn't expecting to, but the official reddit app was worse than I expected, you can't sort by 'hot' anymore so it is literally not as interesting to look at. I haven't used it since the switch over and I don't miss it.

It's gonna be heavily moderated and anything negative will be removed, probably.

Depends on the city. In my city, you could walk across the whole thing in maybe an hour, and anything major the furthest you would have to walk is about 30 minutes.

Is it possible to make Lemmy (the system as a whole) able to be compatible with horizontally scaling instances? I don't see why an instance has to be confined to one server, and this would allow for very large instances that can scale to meet demand.

Edit: just seen your other comment https://lemmy.ml/comment/453391

I'm sure you know this, but getting progressively larger servers is not the only way, why not scale horizontally?

I say this as someone with next to no idea how Lemmy works.

As @RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ml says, create a distributed index of usernames, and do not allow the same username to be registered twice.

I'd also propose at the same time to create a Discord style username system to avoid potential clashes - if this system is going to become large (mainstream) then eventually available usernames will be hard to choose from.

Nice to see you here. Nice work on Jellyfin, it's a breath of fresh air compared to Plex.

This thought entered my mind today as I came across a thread on Quora, and noticed that they have added a feature where ChatGPT would have a go at answering the question.

Today alone I have used a few varying "AI" tools, including one which automatically paraphrases text for you, one which analyses your writing in SwiftKey as you type, and of course the big players like Bard and Bing Chat. It got me thinking about whether these features are actually valuable, and if we would start to see them on this platform.

I like the glossy surface. Is it acrylic?

I love ergonomic layouts, and I own an ErgoDox Infinity - however I can't get on with it on a permanent basis due to things like keyboard shortcuts being all over the place.

Edit: just noticed this post is 2 years old. Nvm

Relevant xkcd which sums up the situation nicely: xkcd: Cutting Edge

I'm new here! And proud to be the 100th upvoter of this post. Very impressed with the system from what I have seen so far.
