Any plans to make it easier to interact with links to other instances?

The QoL value to automatically open links to other instances inside my current instance would be enormous.

There are some states passing laws mandating "in god we trust" be placed somewhere prominent in the school. There's an argument to be made that by doing this, the states are mandating that education systems must promote the the idea of the Bible and it's claims being true.

Highly recommend everyone that likes Portal to try speedrunning it. It's pretty short, especially if you have practiced chamber 16/17/18. You can beat the whole game in 1-2 hours, but it will go down to more like 40 minutes without glitches if you have the solutions memorized.

Then you can save like 15-20 more minutes by learning a few really easy glitches. There's tons of tutorials on speedrun.com/portal, too

The only downside is how small the communities are in comparison to their subreddit counterparts. I'm afraid that Reddit might be able to keep coasting on numbers alone for long enough to recover and ultimately overshadow this service... But it's a great alternative, and I for one will not be leaving even if they reverse their API decisions.

This is why I'm a firm believer that "homo/heterosexual" is an outdated term. We need words to denote being attracted to masc/feminine people that don't also unnecessarily make implications about your own gender.

This is the most cursed one on the sub so far

People in America thinking that our only option is democrat or republican. The only reason we have to keep settling for the "lesser of two evils" is because we've convinced ourselves that it's impossible to do otherwise.

It's the definition of a self-fulfilling prophecy. We're shooting ourselves in the foot every time we fall for it.

There's no problem with it, but the US has been tricked into believing there is a problem with it to perpetuate the supremecy of the main two parties. That's my POV at least ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lol you didn't even look at the post. Actual NPC moment

This was 1000% written by an AI 🤦‍♀️

Assholes who run this place are trying to supress me

Did you forget that you're going around calling everyone groomers and pedos? 🤔

Nobody is trying to suppress you, sweetie. To everyone else in the room it's pretty obvious why your comments would be getting deleted (assuming you're not making shit up)

If cancelling an ink subscription disables your printer, then you don't own that printer.

With YouTube, I don’t see a major issue.

It's more like a litany of minor issues that add up to equal a major one. Changes like removing the "sort by oldest" option are just objectively bad, and they tell us that QoL is not on their list of priorities, and in fact is something they're perfectly willing to sacrifice for their own gain.

Changes like removing the dislike metrics, not being able to add shorts to our favorites playlist, or no longer being able to queue something unless you're actively playing a video.... so on

(Edit:) this is now my rant post where I will list every stupid change that YouTube has made to their app, in order of when I remember/notice them...

The playlists list randomly switches between pinning Liked and Watch Later to the top, or not pinning them, and also randomly flips between putting Liked first and Watch Later first. Why?????

Videos no longer pause autoplay while you're writing comments. Literally all this does is put the user on a timer, where at the end the app boots you out of the comments and onto another video. Fucking why?

They removed the "up next" video being displayed at the top of the list of recommendations. Why the hell is it good for us or Google for us to not know what video is coming next?

There's no split screen or anything if that's what you mean. But if you have more than 1 computer, there are no issues with lag because the songs are played locally.

You see the other person's score in realtime as you both are playing, but they're slightly out of sync so nobody has to experience any lag while playing

This should open the community in your instance

How do you do that?

We enable them to make profit via ads and data harvesting. Private texts/DMs do not need to be involved in that.

You want to sort by "Active" or "Hot" to see newer posts. Or something like "Top of the Day/Week". If you want, you can change what your feed defaults to in your settings at the top. (This also applies to Lemmy apps.) You can also change the default filter type on your feed to "Subscribed" if you want it to be like Reddit, where by default it just shows you communities you're subscribed to across all instances.

As for navigation, yeah it's a hot mess rn. I feel like when someone posts a link that goes to a different Lemmy instance than the one you're currently using, there needs to be a button or something attached to it to open that link inside your current instance, instead of taking you away to one you aren't logged into. But I'm willing to bet that apps like Jerboa or Liftoff will solve this soon if Lemmy doesn't do it first.

Sick, thanks!

Big true. I was telling some rando in Overwatch that I liked wearing my mask/apron at work during the pandemic because customers constantly mistook me for a woman, and that gave me a lot of confidence.

She said "but... you're cis? I don't know any cis people that say things like that." And then my whole worldview shattered, and everything made so much more sense🫠
