~oh no~

True, but there are plenty of alternatives waiting in the wings the moment they try and fill it with ads

Are sub and superscript officially supported by markdown now? Or is that a Lemmy-specific extension?

You can, and it’ll probably get annoying if everyone catches on!

Group chats? They’ve replaced almost everything I used to use Facebook for.

People are upset that the things they posted publicly are viewable publicly?

According to the feedback, I just shut down this project, perhaps permanently. Sorry for all the harm I caused.

Anyone know if this harm was anything more than just hitting API limits?

I would guess that’s because it’s not standard Lemmy code, I think I read recently that hexbear uses it’s own fork to add things like that

Summit seems to deal with inline images fine which I would guess covers that

Summit offers that, I’d imagine plenty of other clients do too

Lemmy/Reddit is basically a forum with the one significant difference being threaded vs linear comments. Would a version of Lemmy slightly modified to have linear comments and only text posts work as a traditional forum?

Could be as simple as blue sky having the money behind it to advertise it more

Summit does too

I had the opposite experience, I was always told that if I upvoted certain things I’d see more of it, never seemed to make a difference!

I don’t stop to read the title, the community or the author, at a glance I see the vast majority of the post, if I consider it I see the rest of the information, most of the time I ignore the information, because I don’t care.

Careful, this is how popular subs/communities end up full of non-relevant stuff, because people upvote without checking if it’s appropriate! Thankfully I’ve not seen much of that here yet, but I think that’s because I tend to subscribe to smaller communities.

I think that’s a deliberate decision, one of the benefits being that a new server doesn’t destroy itself by immediately trying to download the entire history of the fediverse!

it doesn’t pull in all the content unless someone subscribes

I think that’s how Lemmy works too

I think it’s an alternative way to access the same content, so probably exactly the same number of people you do and do not like

I guess that’s what instances are trying to avoid by preemptively blocking Threads. If everyone else blocks it then Lemmy carries on existing as it is. And I can’t imagine big corpo wouldn’t want to create their own name.

Either they federate and all their users are exposed to the rest of the fediverse, or they don’t and they may as well be a separate thing
