Yeah, that is what I was referring to with boosting. I think I understand now. For a short while, it looked to me like there were replies on Mastadon that I didnt write, but apparently they are just all of the “boosted” posts coming from Lemmy comments. Thank you.
Lemmy on Mastadon
Just when I think I have somewhat of an understanding of the fediverse, there becomes more questions. So, I am the moderator for !dadjokes@lemmy.world and I see many “boosted” posts. Does that occur any time there is a comment on that post from Lemmy, or has someone made another account on Mastadon that is using the same photos from the dadjokes Lemmy community?
Lemma seems to be pretty smooth. And Arctic is being updated pretty frequently with nice features.
Thanks, I did not know that. I’ll have to try it out
What app are you using? If you’re on iOS, I know the Voyager app allows for selection of filtering your search to Communities, Users, Posts, etc. and Lemma has a pretty good smart search that has found the communities I was looking for.
As far as I am aware, at least one user on your instance needs to be subscribed to a community on a different instance or at least specially searched for it to be searchable. In your case, if no one on lemmy.world is subscribed to or specifically searched for lemmy.radio/c/amateur_radio, you wouldn’t see it on a search from you lemmy.world account. Otherwise you’ll need to use a browser to find the community and seek it out on the web. Not super streamlined yet, I agree.
The only other more functional browser searches that I know of are:
I’m definitely going to start using Usonian. It seems the most natural. We probably can’t use Colombian because… you know…that’s a country already haha
Oh you’re right, I’m on 1.13. Weird, I guess I’ll get that one lol
I don’t see that as an option in the beta Voyager. Do you mean another app like Avelon?

My God, I couldn’t remember what that scene that dialog was from. I finally found it and here you have it posted already. 😂 Golden scene
That’s a creative idea. I would read it. But if the goal is to reach and engage more people, then it needs to appeal to them. Like previously said, most people just don’t seem to care about privacy. So what do they care about? Getting likes/approval from others? Networking? Following popular channels? It’s kind of a catch 22, because celebrities won’t go to a platform without potential followers, and followers won’t either without someone to follow.
I can definitely relate on seeing the potential of the fediverse. I even told some of my friends, “This is the evolution of how the Internet is going to work. Isn’t that exciting??” And I’m usually met with blank stares.
I think the social media giants will slowly continue to become less relevant and there will be a natural shift toward alternatives. The more polished the alternatives become and the more the communities will prove valuable with actual human connections, the more they will slowly appeal to the masses. I think many people are sucked into the world of consumerism and cannot imagine an alternative.
Thanks for the suggestion. I am trying it out now and it seems pretty solid. I’m not sure the customization features are worth a subscription yet for me, but if they end up adding moderator functions, that might make it my new favorite.
Oh snap! I didn’t realize that
I started with Mlem, then Memmy, tried Thunder, Limbo, the Voyager web app. The new Voyager app definitely seems the most polished. I will say though, a new discovery and my primary lately has been Avelon. It is buttery smooth and many options in the settings. One that was missing from Apollo was the “mark above as read” option for posts, which is present on this app.
Definitely give it a try: https://testflight.apple.com/join/IzB0ZiBO
What do you guys think about a rule for reposts?
I know back in the old country (blueit er redhat or whatever it was) there was a rule for waiting a year or some time before reposts were allowed again. Should there be something like that here?
On an unrelated note, I got my friend the other day with a zinger. They were recovering from surgery and said they were moving up their diet and the nurse was getting them a liquid menu. I said, “LIQUID MENU? HOW ARE YOU GONNA HOLD IT?” …I think I could hear eyes rolled over the phone.
Your submission in "{{post.title}}" was removed for That is pretty funny. This joke would be great for c/unclejokes, but the suggestion of an erection probably shouldn’t go in c/dadjokes. .
Lemmy.world goes down more than a $2 hooker
Your submission in "{{post.title}}" was removed for That joke would be better received on c/unclejokes (which is also on lemmy.world).
Wow, I can’t believe that worked. I use a password manager, so I don’t see how that’s any different than copy/paste, but here we are. Thank you; both accounts work.
anyone else having trouble logging in?
I tried a lemmy.world account and lemm.ee account, each with the username and then the email. The accounts work fine on the Voyager web app, just not the native iOS app.
Standards? Reminds me of that 12-inch tall king…
Terrible leading, but made a great ruler
Post text, images, or direct links only
Please see the updated sidebar. Do not post external links to websites such as Facebook and Instagram.
Genuinely curious, do you all think should there be a rule against posting major social media links such as this?
My thought is that I assume most of us are here for a different online social experience and would ideally not contribute to the current social media companies’ practices.
The joke is on point, but I’m wondering if it can be hosted on PeerTube or something.
We hit 10k! This reminds me...
of when I handed my dad his 60th birthday card.
He told me, “You know one would have been enough.”
I had that issue as well, but the most recent beta update fixed it. I would update it on TestFlight if possible.
It looks like there is already an Artemis kbin app.
Fediverse alternative for Snapchat?
Does anyone know of a Fediverse alternative for Snapchat?
I know of Friendica, but it looks more like a Facebook. Not a Fediverse option, but so far Signal’s stories look to be the closest option I can find. Any input is appreciated.
Accent Color
I know customization comes after functionality on the priority list, but I would love a few color options in the Appearance settings to replace the blue. Purple, orange, and turquoise would be at the top of my list.
I prefer a dark background anyway, so the background would be less of a worry, but a graphite grey and beige would be nice eventually too.
Thanks to everyone that is working on this.
I hate to ask, but can you explain the joke?
Please post edgier jokes to the new Uncle Jokes community
I just updated the sidebar. As a rule of thumb, if you cannot tell this joke to a 5-year-old, you should probably post it to the new community !unclejokes@lemmy.world
My wife really likes the fridge I bought her for her birthday
