For us, we have to watch the unskippable ad during Star Trek Picard, then it jumps back 10 minutes in the episode so we need to fast forward to get back to our place. This has been going on for several episodes.

---In 2013, the median age of burners was 32, and in 2022, it was 37.

My take away was that it seems like it is the same people going every year: they are getting older and richer, because that is what happens over time.

I get the impression that the preference for dark mode tends to be more common in Millennial/Gen-Z men.

As an older Gen-X, I cannot stand having dark mode on during the day or light mode at night. I use auto whenever it is available. I don’t know why!

My daughter and her female friends do not have dark mode during the day. My younger coworkers often have dark mode at work, but only the male ones.

I’m curious about those who use dark mode all the time: were you born after 1980 and male?

Isn’t that a snail?

I have noticed this too. I was very excited to have the “mark read on scroll” option added with the update yesterday.

However, as I am scrolling and marking posts read I have noticed that a lot of the posts that were marked read keep reappearing as unread. Not other instances, but the same posts.

Hard to capture this in the wild, but I will try to get images of this happening.

Was pretty painful to recreate my account on Lemm.ee, but I think that I have it mostly recreated. I am wondering if there is some way to automatically download a full list of subscriptions so that I can either sync up a backup account or at least have a file that I can import with a new account in case Lemm.ee blows up.

Fortunately, I had manually exported the list to sync it up with my Kbin accounts about a week and half ago, so I did have some of them tracked. Exporting into Excel was not easy!

I would also like to see options to hide all posts above and to view hidden posts. I was used to those in Apollo.

I hid read posts and found out that that includes my own posts. I kept wondering why my posts disappeared.

View the site in Reader view (click on the “AA” in the lower left of the screen). It removes everything but the text of the site, including ads, blockers, almost all membership requests, etc.

Edit: Reader view is not available for that site, so my suggestion won’t help in this case.

Thank you for doing hide read on scroll!

Another user here that had set up VLemmy as primary instance. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to back up subscriptions and how to do due diligence on an instance to make sure that it is more credible/stable?

I have relaunched on Lemm.ee, and want to make sure that I am prepared for this happening again!

It is hide read posts. You can turn it off by unchecking "Hide read Posts on Feed".

Interesting point, maybe people with more gaming growing up prefer the dark mode. Much of the gaming era came around after my time!

This happened to my Mom a few years ago in New Mexico. She was late 70s and immuno-compromised from cancer treatments. She ended up hospitalized on a ventilator due to meningitis resulting from the Listeria infection. She made it out OK, but it was very serious.

Best theory the Health Department had that it was from unpasteurized cheese.

I honestly can't see any of these posts anywhere! Sorry about the duplicates.

Edit: apparently when you hide read posts, that includes your own posts! I deleted the duplicates.

I would love to see an option to open articles in browser reader view. I always have to manually switch to reader each time I open an external article.
