Ooo interesting, I use this for specific communities but I hadn’t thought about using it for a whole feed. How does it fare for something like Top Day, does it just update once a day? And how does it even know about what I’m subscribed to?
It says “alternative app store”, not “alternative iOS app store”, “alternative to Apple’s App Store” or even “alternative App Store”. The term “app store” is used pretty generally nowadays, there’s no implication in the title that it’s even talking about mobile apps!
This article vaguely hints but doesn’t actually say anywhere that this is for iOS apps
Plenty of people uploaded stuff to youtube for years before it started giving them any money
FYI Lemmy already supports RSS, for instance I could add this feed to any RSS reader to follow you
Was there an original uk one? This one is the only one I’m aware of, it had a moment of doubt a year back but we got new admins before we needed to move.
Blockchain? Get with the times grandpa!
Same in Summit. I guess there needs to be a standard that everyone follows, because currently I have a client which automatically handles normal other-instance links, and these link helpers actively break it!
Also I wonder how it handles reposts, i.e. the same link multiple times in one community
I think Summit can do it too
Lemmy can be as simple if not simpler than that:
Defed Investigator seems pretty useful
I think you’re looking for !cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee
Typing it starting with an doesn’t resolve for me but !fediversenews@venera.social does
Probably a technical consideration (like what if they have an edit timestamp which would allow a dedicated person to find all the comments unlinked at the exact same time), a personal consideration (what if you actually want that information purged as thoroughly as possible), and a legal consideration (sounds like it violates the GDPR)
Data privacy (the “right to be forgotten”) I’d say is the main reason. Say you realise that you’ve built up a little to much linkable information about yourself over the years and don’t want it readily available for whoever might want to make use of it.
Interesting idea, but how do you decide on what the universally-agreed on reactions are? Have too many and they may as well just be comments!
I remember that being a problem back on Reddit (though I always found people upvoting low-effort stuff that wasn’t community/sub-appropriate to be more of a problem). It’s kind of a site-wide UX issue though really, if a new casual user is just presented with a list of posts then they might genuinely be unaware of (or perhaps just uninterested in) where they came from and what their votes mean.
Oh. If the only thing stopping the votes being public is a label saying pretty please don’t make this public then it does seem very open to abuse.
That’s cool, could be useful if you wanted to limit your usage or something like that. Instead of constantly opening an app and scrolling to see what’s new just set the RSS reader to poll every 24 hours and only look at what it presents you with.
