Arguably, the fix should be to “it” since anon is a utility account, not a user.

This a great answer in a sea of slightly odd food choices. It’s healthy for kids to do this, apparently.

I think part of the problem is that even when you’re subscribed to the small communities, it’s easy to miss the posts. Sorting by Scaled helps a little, but I still often find a post from days ago that I missed.

I’d like an option where you could “super subscribe” or something which makes those posts show up first, or even in the inbox.

No, it’ll be fine 99% of the time.

Nowadays, feature detection is done within browsers, and the differences between browsers are small enough that servers generally will serve the same version of a page to all.

Ah, ok, that makes more sense. That also solves any ordering problem if you, say, you’re running local and elsewhere commands and a sync means pressing up gives you an unexpected item.

Sync seems like it’s going to be more pain than its worth unless you have all your machines configured the same. I’m not even running the same distros between machines…

I’m not sure what you’re asking. Do you mean Lemmy communities, Lemmy instances, or something else?

If you’re on Windows, you can use Win + .

If you’re on Linux, try ctrl + shift + e

I’m surprised you say you don’t know what the 😭 face means, since it’s just exaggerated crying. Is it because they’re too small, or that you suspect there’s some implied agreement/subtext you’re not party to?

I can see why people wouldn’t know what something like 🍆 is used to represent, since it’s not for the intended (I assume…) use.

I’m another Kagi fan - after customising it a little it’s just so good, and I haven’t even played with features like lenses.

I really like the custom bang searches (e.g. I could make !ks gravity search on simple Wikipedia), especially on mobile since Firefox Android doesn’t support the normal browser quicksearches (where you set a keyword for each search).

That’s interesting. The flaw with that logic seems to that there’ll always be new users, and they’ll be playing on hard mode since those vital clues have been removed.

Online it’s even more annoying (to me, anyway), because we have the time element specifically for this kind of thing and no-one bothers to use it.

After a glance at others’ answers, it’s the same thing: the trend away from skeuomorphism.

I always think about the time I discovered an Android area was horizontally scrollable - with no scrollbars to clue me in, it was only the fact that the icon I wanted wasn’t there that prompted me to discover the secret. I’m a software dev, if it’s unintuitive even to me, how do non-technical people stand a chance?

It allows selecting multiple languages, but it’s not clear and setting multiple is fiddly - most sites use multiple checkboxes instead for this reason. Anyway, if you select Undetermined, English and whatever else you’re happy to see, you’ll see a lot more comments (and posts, probably).

Edit: to select multiple, hold control while clicking/spacebarring to add another.

It should have two language settings - those you might post in (for the dropdown on making a comment/post) and for those you’re happy to read (I’d just set it to all, since I can always translate anything that looks interesting).

You can interact here from other ActivityPub-supporting codebases so you could just run one of the minimal microblogging sites. You wouldn’t get the same experience as being a Lemmy instance though.

And kills it.

They call them them magazines, e.g. @wholesome@kbin.social is at https://kbin.social/m/wholesome or here on beehaw at https://beehaw.org/c/wholesome@kbin.social.

This is a great read, I’ll definitely bookmark this for when someone says it won’t be problem.

I’m a massive fan of skeuomorphic design, and Windows 98 was just so intuitive and practical. Things you could drag looked like you could move them, that bumpy texture thing was used in places it wasn’t obvious already, and 3D made clickable things look like buttons.

I’m a software developer and power user, and Android surprised me by having a horizontally scrollable area with absolutely no indication other than the visible items didn’t include something I was expecting to find.

I’m trying it now - I like it but there are a few confusing choices, like how you can only have one widget visible at once.

How do you access the shortcuts that would normally be placed on the home screen? I have some webapps and e.g. OpenVPN shortcuts that I currently can’t see.
