Against Lemmy Karma
Can’t say I agree. I miss karma. Not because I want it, because I don’t care. But that imaginary internet point sure drives a lot of content - and even repeat content has a purpose to drive platform growth. I had like 1,000 subs and FREQUENTLY saw something for the first time that the tHiS iS a RePoSt people came out of the woodwork for.

What app is everyone using for Lemmy
https://wefwef.app on iOS.
It's nearly EXACTLY like Apollo. Installed on my Home Screen and put where the Apollo icon was. (Apollo moved to a special folder to commemorate its memory.) You guys, I've got to be honest, I didn't think Lemmy was going to work out for me, but with wefwef, I don't feel like I'm missing a beat. Looking forward to Lemmy and the fediverse continuing to grow!

iOS status bar is near impossible to read in light mode

On the helpful side, that’s not true:
Settings >> Appearance >> Uncheck “Use System Light/Dark Mode” >> Check Dark Mode.
On the unhelpful side, I have never seen the appeal of light mode. Curious why people prefer it?

How many of you understand that you can be on lemmy without bringing reddit here?
I’m going to be real with you. I use Voyager which looks like Apollo to me, so half the time I don’t realize I’m not on reddit. And frankly, I don’t care. I didn’t come here to avoid reddit content. I came here to avoid reddit client and company. If the content or conversation is interesting, I don’t give 2 craps where it’s from.

What do you do about abandoned communities?

We should make a community called friendlymods. You’d be on it right now. :)

How did Lemmy.world become more popular than Lemmy.ml?
I came here from Apollo for Reddit. There’s a web app called wefwef that is a lemmy client that literally looks and works EXACTLY like Apollo. It even has apollo json import to find similar communities. Anyway, .world is the first server listed in the list so it’s where I registered.

Most iPhone owners see little to no value in Apple Intelligence so far
I appreciate the summaries on my notifications. Some of my people text a book every time.

Poll: Almost 70% of Russians want Putin re-elected in 2024
The article failed to mention the pointy object felt in the back of every person who was asked, which was probably exclusively members of Putin’s family.

Lemmy vs Reddit in a nutshell
Reply in thread
Yep, that was one of the places. Well not /c/communism directly, more like /c/latestagecapitalism showed up on my feed, which is essentially the same thing. I responded to a post without looking at the community, saying (respectfully) that I thought a 70% tax is ridiculous for any demographic or socioeconomic status and I wondered how and why innovation happens in that kind of tax system, and I learned how many ways my family could die at their hands and how I’m the reason death and disease happen in the world. The mods removed the threats but I removed my comment to stop them from returning. I didn’t know it was the communism part 2 /c/.
What’s worse is THEIR threats were being upvoted by the community and my respectful original comment and replies were being downvoted like crazy. It wasn’t just the commenters - the voters were complicit. I had ZERO upvotes other than my own. There isn’t a decent human over there if you’re not a communist. They want to kill you. They told me, in lots of ways.

Where the hell does wind begin??
All weather is a result of heat exchange and pressure differentials caused by an unequally heated atmosphere. (The side toward the sun is warmer.)

What do you do about abandoned communities?
I’d guess the instance sysadmin on the instance the community was created on can reassign “mods.”

Reddit Refugees on Lemmy, how are you guys liking lemmy so far?

I just posted this in another unrelated thread, but relevant here as well: https://wefwef.app was the key for me. It's nearly EXACTLY like Apollo. Installed on my Home Screen and put where the Apollo icon was. (Apollo moved to a special folder to commemorate its memory.) You guys, I've got to be honest, I didn't think Lemmy was going to work out for me, but with wefwef, I don't feel like I'm missing a beat.

Trump's Colorado appeal may force US Supreme Court to rule on his future
Reply in thread
They could choose to point out Trump has not been found guilty of a 14th amendment offense in a court of law and enforce innocent until proven guilty and say after a guilty verdict, maybe.

(Controversial) Should lemmy.world close registrations at a certain user count?
Making it difficult for people to abandon reddit and join lemmy at THIS stage would be a bad idea. I think it has to scale.
Eventually if it successfully catches on and becomes the popular option, maybe. But even then I think I’d prefer a (or several) round-robin type options for joining. I think the server names are too exposed in lemmy to be easily understood by the masses. Like I get it but I’m a 20 year dev. Not a person in my family understands.
