I took a look at the link and I’m not sure how to use it, it looks like the instances don’t really get reviews, but instead get endorsements that function like upvotes?

I also didn’t see any way to look up the instance you wanna learn more about community sentiment on. I’m not sure if that site quite fufills my needs

I really wish we had ways of reviewing instances. It’d be hard to build in a way that was helpful and resistant to manipulation or mobbing though

Thank you, I try ☺️

I’ve been thinking on another post about the fediverse and its culture lately (different vein from the last one though), but we’ll see if I ever actually sit down and write it all out 😅

Hope you have a good one! Its always lovely to see your name and icon around

And thats okay! I appreciate that the smaller size of this platform makes it easier to see and remember the human behind the screen than it is on unbelievably massive platforms like reddit, and part of that humanity that it helps you remember is that people have bad days, get shit wrong, and sometimes don’t put their best foot foreward, even when they post a lot- such is being human :)

Blaze’s reply is pretty much my reasoning

The fediverse includes a lot of things, but I’m really specifically talking about the way that reddit culture carries over to lemmy/mbin/piefed, and how we choose to build the new culture here

I don’t think the person I was replying to meant any harm or anything, but I do think its always worth reflecting on what aspects of the culture from proprietary platforms we do or don’t wanna carry over. And in this case, the mentality of disapproval for frequent posters is one I don’t think we should carry with us to this new space, even if its shaped similarly to reddit :)

This looks fantastic! will it possible to use purely locally as just an android app in the future?

I think for a lot of folks it might be nice to have the option to just eschew self hosting for synchronization and just use local storage, and then have a route to expanding and adding muti device ability should they go set up a server ☺️

Edit: down voting the person I’m replying to isn’t needed, the conversation about which cultural norms we do or don’t wanna keep from reddit may be easier to have without the downvotes :)

This is a the threadiverse, most of the super active posters really do give life to the communities they frequent because no one else posts, and in my experience, are generally reasonable, good folks, if still human and fallible. If sunshine is choosing not to name and shame, it may just be someone having a bad day, or not noticing they broke a rule, or a disagreement they had over whether a rule should or shouldn’t be as it is, where sunshine had the final say as moderator

That was very true on reddit, but I don’t wanna bring the same “active posters suck” mentality here to the threadiverse just because it was an understandable sentiment on reddit. We have much fewer users, and only a tiny subset of that already small number posts or reposts anything

Shutout to @PugJesus@lemmy.world and @fossilesque@mander.xyz, my fave regular posters

You should also crosspost this to !japaneselanguage@sopuli.xyz and !learnjapanese@lemmy.ml!

This looks neat, I’ll have to sit down and give this a proper try some time ☺️

Any chance you could give a simple explainer on how to set up a !! abbreviation in fish?

I’m a fairly non-technical fish user and every time I’ve tried to figure out how to do it I’ve ended up giving up 😅

If you don’t know off the top of your head thats fine, but it seemed worth an ask ☺️

I think this format could be even more fun if the primary image was the shaded out version, and then you put the image with the colored icon in the body of the post so you see it when you open the post :P

Cuddle anyway coward. 🔫

As another nontechnical person, it’s very obvious this post isn’t appropriate for this community. Please be respectful of the spaces you’re posting in.

It isn’t considerate to go into other (technical) people’s spaces and hand them confused questions that are barely related to the community

In really disappointed it won’t email all my data to Microsoft via whatever publicly accessible email accounts they have available.

Maybe in a future update. For now I’ll just have to stick to manually giving a random Microsoft customer service rep all my data 😮‍💨
