Agreed, it’s pretty great. And while the computer sometimes misunderstands what you swipe, it will show you potential alternatives you can tap on. Like in this screenshot:
I’m a systems librarian in an academic library. I moved over the Lemmy after Rexxit 2023. I’ve had an account on sdf.org since 2009 (under a different username), and so I chose this instance out of a sense of nostalgia. I do all sorts of fiber arts (knitting, cross stitch, sewing) and love dogs.

How many X are in XTX?
Yep, part of evaluating a work is knowing whose work it is. I’ll read a paper on, say, lung cancer by SirTobaccoLobbyist differently than one by DrCancerResearcher. If I don’t know whose work it is, it’s very hard to contextualize.
They have butter for their hot cakes. Sounds like it was adding butter packets to the order.
Robert Evans wrote a post on it and did multiple podcast episodes.
The TL&DR is that AI-generated children’s books are crap, without a coherent storyline or any literary niceties like “foreshadowing” and “beginning middle and end”. Kids are still learning what stories look like, so if you hand them AI-generated stuff they might know it’s unsatisfying, but they can’t put into words why their books are wrong.
The Android app Connect has it. I’ve blocked a few instances, so I don’t see communities on them. I do see posts from users from those instances, but they’re collapsed by default, though I do see responses. Example:
I use a horipad mini switch controller. I have small hands and bigger controllers feel unwieldy.
I toured a home that had been vacant for years. The basement was a mess. Someone had been majorly into canning. Shelves had collapsed, shattering jars.
Other than that, it was a lot like touring a house while house hunting. Dirtier and more missing steps, but that’s it.
Sync for Reddit (SfR) was a wicked popular third-party Reddit app. Sync for Lemmy will help former SfR users feel comfortable.
Same here. I have all three installed. I’m leaning towards connect, but sometimes use jerboa if something weird happens in connect
I don’t know the answer to any of your questions but thank you so much for posting this! My city library back when I was in middle school used this system and I’ve been pining for it a bit, but didn’t know what it was called.
Hi! I just joined up. I have an sdf.org account from forever ago, and when I saw that sdf had a Lemmy instance I knew that was the one to join.
Reddit is too stressful right now. I don’t know if my favorite client will remain functioning or if my subreddits will exist next week. Too much change and I don’t understand the point of it.
I’m out of the loop. Could someone please explain like I’m a 5 year old that knows just enough Linux to be dangerous?
