I only got it on the 4th scroll past or so...
That 'all' is all of the communities and posts your server knows about. You are on a pretty big (I think?) server, so it's probably pretty good. For people on smaller servers like the one I'm on, it won't have a lot of the smaller niche communities on there as no one from my server has ever visited them.
If I made a new community on my instance and posted stuff there, you wouldn't see it in your 'all' feed unless someone from lemme.ee visited the new community first.
Not tried it, does it not work?
Are your language preferences set on your account? (open your account settings on the website rather than an app)
Or are these all posts with their language set to undefined?
More options around that in general. I would love a spoiler flag that does the same blur as NSFW but isn't filtered out by the 'show NSFW' checkbox.
I guess the 'simple' way of doing this would be adding tags to communities like 'art' 'hobbies' 'sport' 'football' etc. This might then let the app suggest others based on the tags you are subscribed to.
It would probably still require some AI/analytics to work out the links based on user activity in different communities/tags but I think it would make it easier to group interests and promote smaller communities.
It could also improve Lemmy visibility in Masterdon if the tags are used as hashtags or something. (Would require more work)
There needs to be a choice. The fact that Reddit/Lemmy allow you to build and control what content you see is the best bit about them.
If you just show by new, then communities with lots of posts drown out smaller ones; low effort posts drown out ones that took a while to create. It also discourages engagement as the posts old enough to have good conversations will be a long way down the page.
I thought the 'hot' ranking was a mixture of votes and comment engagement?
I do feel like there needs to be some further tweaking, controversial should have a time falloff so it shows recent controversy instead of something 6 months old for example.
The problem with allowing third party apps is that it becomes very hard to implement things like time on post. All the app developers would have to implement it for it to become useful and they would have to do it in a consistent way. It would also be (IMO) a step towards the level of spying that seems to be standard in social media.
Maybe its just dark in the chasms.
Generally I agree with you though.
The vertical tab bar is still there though as it's apparently not removable? 😞
Picture from a ski holiday in the Dolomites in Italy. The weather made for bad skiing but great photos. They built a restaurant on that view a few years back unfortunately.
