Are you trying to tell me that's not a trash can?

And if we can't trust Weird AL for advice, then who can we trust?

Is the bus purple now or something?

You know, my favorite thing about Lemmy showing both upvotes and downvotes is that not only do we see that a lot of people disagree with you, but more specifically that, since you're the only one upvoting yourself, literally everyone else can tell that you're wrong.

You know it's not that hard to just admit that you were wrong. It was an easy mistake to make, so just admit it and move on. Realize that you can learn and improve. Doubling down just to make yourself seem more like an idiot is never the answer. Everyone is capable of being stupid and making mistakes, but it's the real idiots who are incapable of learning from them.

Ah, so I see English isn't your first language?

Grass is for the weak.

protip, if you search for an community and it says “no results found”, the act of searching actually adds it to your instance. Just refresh the page and it’ll show up.

Oh interesting. Thanks!

I do already know how to do that, but I'm mainly wondering about being able to view an entire other instance's community list. I mean, yeah, I guess I can work around that, and that is what I've been doing, but it's just a little clunky to have to go to another instance logged out, copy the url, and then go back in through my own instance. There's really no other way?

I was wondering if there's a way to view a list of communities from another instance, but still logged into my account. I could, for example, go to https://lemmy.ml/communities, but if I do, I'm no longer logged into my Lemmy.world account.

Now, I know I can see communities from other instances by going to the Lemmy.world communities list and sorting by all, but I don't know of a way to directly go into another instance's community list.

And I think I've heard that you can't see a community from another instance until people from your instance have "interacted" with it. I'm not sure exactly what that means. Is that just if they visit the community, or do they have to subscribe to it? Regardless, I'd have to imagine that you must be able to view communities from another instance in some easy way or else it seems like it would be really hard to discover other instances' communities for the first time.

Thanks!

The trailer gave me Paper Mario sort of vibes. Is that somewhat accurate based on other details people might know about the game?

[-] nepatriots32@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I get that, and it could make sense to archive things at some point, but I do think it was nice for certain communities, aside from things like sports, news, etc., to be able to still comment on old posts. Especially help posts or things like that, because they could still be relevant months or even years later.

[-] nepatriots32@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

The only thing they did do relatively recently that I liked was adding the option for subs to not archive posts that are older than 6 months. But I guess when you think about it, that's more of just taking a restriction away, and less of adding something new. Other than that, though, it's either just useless stuff or stuff that actively made things worse.

I'm liking it a lot. I think it will get even better once more people show up. It's kind of cool to be part of pioneering this experience, though. I do feel like this is going to grow into something substantial.

I was wondering if there's any sort of homepage like on reddit where it shows up with posts from the subs you've subscribed to? I can't find anything like that, but maybe I'm not looking in the right place. And if there isn't something like that, is the only point to subscribing to communities that you can find them on your subscriptions list more easily? Or is there anything else that it does?
