Yes, this issue has been fixed and merged into 18.1 (the next lemmy version).
You can see the lemmy-UI github issue here.
You can see the fix/merge here.
And as a temporary fix (until 18.1 releases) - if you click the “create post” button, then click the “back” button, the subscribe button should magically appear.
That’s true - Lemmy displays new comments above “top” comments, allowing them to be seen by everyone.
To find new communities - go to https://lemmyverse.net/communities, click the top right “Home” icon and input your home instance (ex: lemmy.world)… now you can open/subscribe to every community you like.
Get a good mobile app - they are listed here (with a ton of other great new-user tips): https://lemmy.ml/post/1470777
Change your default “Sort Type” to “Subscribed + New” (in settings) - now you have a fresh feed of your exact interests, every time you open Lemmy.
Communicate in a genuine, open-minded way - to me, Lemmy is a good place to really connect with people, and have honest discussions (versus the often more ‘performative’ tone of greeddit).
Yeah Open Source is the foundation, and the future!
I agree, there is a time for purposeful sarcasm.
To me, it requires two conditions:
A person has already expressed their real perspective to a specific ‘opponent’, and
That specific opponent cannot see the hole in their own logic.
This Norm MacDonald radio clip is a good example.
He explains his true perspective, and only switches to sarcasm for one sentence (at 5:25), to show the opponent how she is being goofy [and it works].
His foundation of sincerity gives context to the sarcasm.
Conversely - nowadays - a common ‘communication style’ is to just spray aimless sarcasm at distant or imaginary foes,
which (to me) reflects a deeper cultural issue…
a hiding behind mockery, a suppression of real constructive bravery,
just dunking on one-dimensional charicatures of strangers (who might not actually exist).
[So I agree with you - there are times for purposeful sarcasm.]
This is a very short story about sarcasm:
Ted opposes racist rants.
Yesterday - Ted posted a few exaggerated racist rants (sometimes with the /s).
2,177 people saw Ted’s racist rants.
50% of them guessed he was joking.
98% of them would not have seen a racist rant yesterday, if it weren’t for Ted’s little gag.
So the question is:
Despite the sarcasm… isn’t Ted just spreading more of what he honestly deplores?
Is Ted subverting his own integrity?
Why not say how we actually feel?
This User Script called Fediverse Redirector auto-redirects all Community, Post, and User pages to your home instance. It works well.
Just click install on that page - it will be added to TamperMonkey (or similar).
Then click settings (under the script) and enter your home lemmy instance.
And to directly answer your question: the raw code is visible in that repo, so you could explore how the
postredirect query was constructed.
