yea it would definitely suck if it only loaded 50 comments at a time, or 50 replies under a comment, but I think it’s fine as-is

once a comment thread gets deeper than 9, it’s a slapfight that’s best avoided.

lol for sure, 9 is already a lot

I don’t understand your comment. This is a fix for a crash in the backend, I don’t see how it relates to lemmy-ui because it seems like any frontend would cause a crash with this issue if it’s hitting the same API route. Also 50 is a lot. Finding a post with 50 comments is rare, finding one with a chain of over 50 in a row is even more rare. Such a thread would be clunky to display in the main comment tree anyways.

This isn’t just a comment with 50 replies, this is 50 levels of indentation.

It’s also funny to criticize Lemmy for being biased towards its own frontend when it probably has more (active and working) frontends than any competitor (Reddit, Mbin)

Yeah definitely a little bit before Win95. The 7th Guest was early 1993, and Myst was end of 1993

I feel like internet users have become so lazy, stubborn, and resistant to change. I’m pretty sure it used to be easier to get people to move to new things like new forums, Xfire, Ventrillo, IRC, ICQ, AIM… people used to try new things

yea tlnet is perfect, thank you! subscribed

TL.net would be great for esports news https://tl.net/rss/news.xml

if tl is too short for a community name, maybe tl_net or teamliquid_net or something like that

it will be a good source to cross-post from (I wish Lemmy users used cross-posting more)

yea idk, it’s maybe like a fun bonus sometimes, but it’s kinda like trying to put the square peg into the circle hole (where it doesn’t fit, unlike the famous meme video lol)

Unpopular opinion: IDK why people want perfect interop so much, I have a Mastodon account and a Lemmy account, big deal. We’ve got bigger fish to fry than this. The formats are different enough that you’re better off having separate accounts for microblogging and threadiverse.

Interop for similar platforms is a great feature, but for dissimilar platforms I don’t think it’s actually necessary just a novelty. Also I think people try to push this on new users as some big, useful, important feature, but I think it only confuses the new users.

Also I noticed most of the time when people complain about ActivityPub interop issues, it almost always ends up being Mastodon’s fault lol. Probably because they were early to the party and didn’t have to worry about interop and standards much back then. At least I hope it isn’t malicious lol.

I think probably the biggest holdup for 0.19.6 right now looks like https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4983

I subscribed to the issue so I can see its progress

my favorite was Where In Space, great music too

That’s a cool idea. There have been somewhat related discussions, but I can’t find any exactly like that. Maybe you should file an issue on GitHub for them?

I haven’t used Jerboa in a while, but I know Boost supports almost all of the search features

something on your end? my top result is from lemmy.world

maybe try opening the link in Private Mode or Incognito

There’s no objection here https://www.google.com/search?q=Lemmy+wouldn’t+really+takeoff+to+replace+Reddit+until+it’s+content+is+search+indexable

An example fix from over a year ago https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1418

Like, not being able to search for specific issues, people, or any other topic already posted even within your own instance is my biggest issue with Lemmy not being a sufficient replacement.

The search page does allow all of this.

/search

You can filter by type (post, user, community, etc), Local/All/Subscribed, searching within a community, choosing a sort option or restricting to past year/month/week… I think it’s much better than Reddit’s search.

I don’t think this is true, Lemmy is already using rel="canonical" which should be telling Google what the real URL is, like here on programming.dev I see this in the page source

<link data-inferno-helmet="true" rel="canonical" href="https://lemmy.world/post/19493729">

which is why the Google results for this search don’t show a million different instances mirroring it

Here was the discussion about it where it was fixed last year https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1418

but Lemmy already does show up on Google results

I only see it posted on 3 communities, isn’t that how the Lemmy cross posting feature is supposed to work? What if someone is unaware of 1 or 2 of these communities, or their instance is defederated from 1 of them?

Lemmy has post deduplication. Are you using an app that doesn’t support this? I haven’t seen crossposts spamming my feed before, usually it’s a pretty good feature, something that Reddit doesn’t have.

In fact, Lemmy’s post deduplication is a little TOO aggressive https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2104

people like to make a fuss and get attention on social media, it’s something to talk about, entertainment

they’re weren’t even down for that long

Eh you still can, the git remote is a mirror but you can still make commits locally and sync later

you can also have multiple git remotes/mirrors
