This is great but I’m more excited for the custom emojis it looks like they’re finally getting to for 1.10. It’s incredible to me that such a core feature for chat has been moving so glacially for years but maybe they’re now taking it seriously?

As crazy as it sounds, custom emoji/stickers are table stakes for a chat client and the fact that Matrix hasn’t standardized it and Element has kicked PRs on it for over half a decade is really harming adoption. I’ve been running my own Marrix server and it’s already tough trying to get my friends and family adopted. Not supporting the most common fun feature OOTB has made it way more difficult.

Joined last year when Apollo was forced to shut down like many of us. I’d been a huge fan of federated social media and decided this was the time to finally kick my Reddit addiction. So far Lemmy has completely scratched the itch and I rarely check Reddit anymore. That in itself has been a huge win and every month it’s just more and more upside as the communities get stronger.

I ended up starting a dedicated Magic: the Gathering instance at https://mtgzone.com for anyone interested. We’re small but growing!

Great game all around! Wheeler obviously looked spectacular but every starting player getting a hit too is promising.

Should have definitely been more aggressive on the base paths in the first inning but that could've been just some nerves as they were definitely running the rest of the game. I loved Bryce blowing right through the 3rd base coach's stop sign for the 4th run. He knew off the bat he was getting in and it was fairly easy, curious why they were going to hold him at all there.

Would you mind sharing what outbound relay you use? Also been running MiaB for a while and have lately been getting fed up with reliability issues.

Thanks! Yeah that inbound filtering cost is too high for personal use but I was just curious about the outbound relay, which seems to be at most just $4/mo. I think I’ll give this a try, thanks again.

If you’re on iOS then Sink It for Reddit and actually makes the mobile website usable again.

Also make sure to go into Reddit’s own settings and disable feed recommendations if you browse the main homepage feed. I’m 99% sure I had this disabled and they just ninja-reenabled it with the update.
