i took a stranger approach. i went to ”all” and viewed new, doom scrolled and added every community i found. then did same with ”active day”, ”active month”, etc. and just kept choosing new sorts and doom scrollin.

i thought a paper pairplane was for sharing. the plus sign isnt weird to me
I'm not from reddit but I have thoughts nonetheless.
if you get attention to your thread via some ”easy” method like having the most recent reply, this attracts stealth abuse. troublemakers can try to use plausible replies to push up what they want to fill the top, and push down everything else. i want to emphasize that you cannot really notice or be sure when this goes on.
therefore, it's important that popular clients don't make anything like that the default. upvotes is much harder to game. recent post (but not replies) is okay because people making too many dumb posts is obvious and they can be blocked (etc.). most replies is fine since it takes lots of different people. even some combination (weighted upvotes, weighted downvotes, weighted total replies) could be nice.
instances could take how their ”front page” / default sort works very seriously because it ends up shaping what users see and interact with the most.
was 404 for me a bit. now seems fine? which led me to want to ask: when lemmygrad is down where should we all go to ask questions etc.? i searched the web but i mostly found older times when people asked, ”is lemmygrad down?” is there a friendly instance that isnt overloaded (like lemmy.ml)? a backup community?
I like Obsidiean. they made new vegas.
how to format links properly that people can actually follow in their clients? I've noticed threads where there are many, many, many different ways of attemtping to link to a community. many dont work when clicked on or arent clickable properly. end up having to open a browser or the client doesnt know what to do with it
It is kind of nice to not encounter so much froth.
I haven't seen anything annoying yet, but there are a lot of moustaches.
first I've heard tell of it. I'll look to the death panel podcast to explain what this is really about. they always nail whats really going on with u.s. complicated disability institutions.
if it is a notable decision like you day i also look forward to hearing it on the 5-4 podcast.
i noticed something similar maybe. when you see a terrible spam, you report it. then go back and block the user. the post is still visible even after all that. maybe a check box to also block when reporting, and to hide blocked posts after setting them to block. would be smooth
could there be another reason nasa doesnt want us digging around there? 😁
