this sounds like a sci-fi novel
brainwashed Fox/MSNBC/CNN people
this represents 3 different groups of people who, largely, not only disagree on many sociopolitical issues, but also largely hate each other.
just FYI
Fox is pretty far right, CNN is kind of in the middle, and MSNBC leans leftish, as mainstream US cable media outlets go
I’m really not experiencing that— because there isn’t The Algorithm feeding you Content™, lemmy is more reliant on you subscribing to specific communities and for them to be active. Personally, I’m subscribed to a lot of communities, but, likewise, I get a lot of active content. Im able to, in a satisfactory way, replicate the experience that I had on reddit— minus 99.9% of the toxicity and hostility, of course.
You may simply find that it’s a mater of fine-tuning your experience here, although the platform itself is still improving. I remember Reddit in its early days, and it, too, took time to improve.
Apologies for my previous comment— I mistook this for the episode discussion post, not the Daystrom Institute post…
This is an excellent breakdown of the episode’s technical aspects. well done! Thanks for the breakdown!
Melon Fusk, CEO of Y, Inc. would never do that!
I’m trying to build a new Plex community here , and that starts with helping each other!
oh, I’m so glad I could scratch that memory itch!
it was a problem form another time. but, honestly, I’m so glad to be able to answer a tech support issue from, what, 20 years ago? yay!
check out the c/Plex add-ons Guide! it’s the community’s curated list of add-ons most useful for the typical plex setup. There’s also the Awesome-arr guide (also in the sidebar) which is a comprehensive list maintained independently, which has jus about everything you could think of.

Hey, c/Plex!
This is the first of a weekly series of Plex Advice threads for novices and pros alike to ask questions, give advice, troubleshoot, and share knowledge and resources! Please be polite and helpful to beginners just getting started out, and we want to be as welcoming as we can to newcomers to this community.
Anyone who posts good starter guides, FAQs, and/or wikis may get their links added to the sidebar so the rest of the community can benefit!
Cheers!
edit: apologies for the late post!
Download the TestFlight beta for iOS 16+
After a massive reorganization and recruiting almost 20 new developers and designers from the community, we've made a HUGE amount of additions and improvements to the app, with many more to come! Yay!
NEW ADDITIONS
- Redesigned interface! NEW POSTS, COMPACTS POSTS, ALL THE THINGS!
- Updated Settings Tab
- Tap to collapse comments/threads
- Long post text is now truncated so they don't take up your whole screen. They will have a maximum height.
- Increased contrast between post/comment cards and background
- The way the application interacts with the Lemmy API has been improved, this should reduce crashes in multiple places
BUG FIXES
- Tapping community links will no longer crash the app, instead an alert shows saying they're not currently supported (we're working on it now, it needs a few different chunks of work completed)
- Duplicate/looping posts when scrolling feeds should no longer happen 🤞
- Rapid scrolling through feed should no longer cause crashing 🤞
- Mlem icon is now brighter!
KNOWN ISSUES
- Some images may extend beyond the post card bounds in Card View
- In compact mode, link previews may not load
- Comments still have old up/downvote buttons
MORE TO COME
- Full a11y compliance which should work perfectly with iOS's Accessibility functionality like Guided Access and Screen Reader. (Thanks to contributor Weston for your expertise and audit!) Note: we weren't able to work this into the current build because of the constant changes to the interface, but some/most of it should be in the next build!
- New Profile Tab and Messages Tab
- New & improved fullscreen image viewer (not ready in time for this release)
- Inbox notifications (not Push, as that takes more work-- more on that later)
- Colored thread indicators
- Swipe-to-vote
- Post/comment saving
- Updated NSFW tag/blur
Again, please keep in mind that this is an early beta. As such, it's not feature-complete and there will be bugs and unexpected behavior. Enjoy testing, and we look forward to hearing your bug reports via TestFlight and your feedback! You can comment here or come chat with us in The Mlem Space on Matrix.
PS, and because lots of people have asked-- Mlem app will never support iOS 15. Sorry, but we'd have to rewrite the app from scratch, and that's not something we're gonna do. Additionally, kbin support isn, for now, out-of-reach due to incompatibilities between the kbin and lemmy APIs. Although this may change in the future, for now, it's not going to happen.
Cheers!
The Mlem Dev Team
Hi, Mlem App Community!
We on the Mlem Team wanted to share some data from our TestFlight so far with you all to let you know how popular the app is.
The Testing Numbers
So far, we have just over 8k beta testers for the Mlem App! That's out of 10k total test slots in TestFlight, which means that we're close to our max allowable testers! That's a lot of adoption for a week since our announcement!
Also, 89% of currently-registered testers have the latest build installed and are currently testing (meaning 11% deleted the app but are still registered), and there's a 34.6% reporting rate for crashes-- meaning some of you could do a better job with crash reporting.
New Recruits
Last week, we posted a call for new contributors, and you, the community, stepped up! We've added a bunch of new developers and designers, including those with expertise in accessibility compliance, helping us to make sure that everyone will be able to use our app, using all of the system's features iOS provides and meeting a11y standards. With new UX designers, we've overhauled our interface, and with new graphic designers, we're bringing a great starter set of custom icons, with more to follow in future releases. And, most importantly, after an internal reorganization, higher-quality and more regular updates will follow with more strict project management, bug tracking, and resource delegation-- all thanks to the lemmy community coming together to make a great app for everyone!
Development & Feedback
The app testing is going well and development is proceeding apace. We've heard tons of positive feedback, and we're thrilled to hear that everyone is loving the app. We've also been listening to all of your excellent feedback. We've put everything into our Issue Tracker on our GitHub project page, and we're working through them, along with all of the bugs you've been reporting and new features we're planning, and we're working on a huge update for our next beta, which we hope to release very soon!
So, keep testing, stay excited, and check back here for updates, and discussion about the Mlem App!
Cheers!
