Apologies, it doesn’t automatically do the thing. I know the latest test version of Memmy on iOS does it. Not sure if it’s out on the App Store version.

Wefwef lets you hide read posts I believe. Also, you can untick “Show read posts” in your Lemmy settings on desktop and it’ll hide posts for any apps. It’s sorta very generous with how it counts posts as read but still

(It’s in settings)

You can hide posts - I believe. There’s a setting in your Lemmy profile to hide read posts. It’s a server side setting so it’ll propagate to any apps. I believe some apps also have their own local “hide post” feature.

Note that the Lemmy profile setting is pretty generous when it comes considering what’s read and what isn’t, but in general it works.

I suggest browsing New, the experience is 100% better.

I believe multi communities have been suggested before. Not sure if there’s an issue for it on GitHub yet.

Idk it just works and I have the whole ecosystem to support it so why not. I flip flop between Android and iPhone whenever. My previous phone was a Pixel 6 Pro. It really doesn’t matter to me, it’s just about how goofy I feel on the day I decide to buy a phone.

It’s not the official app. There are no official app.

How it works in the fediverse in general is that you log into your home instance and navigate to the other instances from your home instance. You won’t be able to log in with your Lemmy.world credentials on lemmy.ml. You can, however, view lemmy.ml content and interact with it (same for kbin.social) in the same way that I’m talking to you from a Lemmy instance.

kbin and Lemmy are two different ActivityPub softwares with similar goals and so you can use them interchangeably. If you prefer being on kbin.social and you prefer the things kbin as a backend provides to you more than lemmy, then you can use kbin entirely and still interact with everyone else. That’s the magic of the fediverse. Think Gmail vs Outlook. It’s still emails. Just flavoured differently.

Someone explained it really, really well on Reddit some years ago:

Hexbear.net started out as chapo.chat - a replacement for the defunct r/ChapoTrapHouse community after it was banned from Reddit. It launched one year ago today, based on a modified version of the Lemmy source code. At the time, Lemmy itself was only around a year old, and in an alpha state. Since r/ChapoTrapHouse had accumulated a long list of enemies in its time, a dozen or so members of the community did about a month-long sprint hardening Lemmy and adding features that reflected the needs of the community.

The developers of Lemmy maintained a pretty low-profile community, while the Chapo refugees were the exact opposite of low-profile, so the communities had divergent priorities. It wouldn’t be fair to demand the Lemmy developers drop everything they were doing to satisfy the Chapo refugee’s needs, but the needs of the Chapo community still had to be met for the project to be successful.

The process was very chaotic, and as a result, the fork of Lemmy used for Hexbear.net will likely never be capable of federating with the wider network of Lemmy instances. A handful of changes were contributed upstream, but many of them likely will never be accepted. None the less, it still abides by the AGPL license and the code is publicly available on git.chapo.chat.

The relationship between Hexbear.net and Lemmy is basically that the Chapo refugees decided Lemmy was the most viable platform to work with, and the Lemmy developers were completely blindsided. The Chapo git repository recorded about 2000 changes within the span of a month and not all of the changes were ideal or appropriate to adopt upstream. Within a week or two of launching, chapo.chat had more users than the flagship Lemmy instance. This was also before federation was officially supported upstream, even though that was always the goal of the project. Had the timing worked out differently, Hexbear might have been federated before adding additional features for their instance, but that’s not how things turned out.

Have you tried using this instead?

They all work with each other and they are both public platforms so they’re as private as any other activitypub-based software. Content amount doesn’t matter when it’s all federated

Apologies and thank you for the clarification, I was reading an earlier draft of GDPR that had information on companies with fewer than 250 employees. Not sure how Lemmy instances fall under this though, do you know?

Businesses that are not engaged in processing of the personal data listed in Article 9 or Article 10 do not need to appoint a data protection officer (DPO or DPO as a Service) unless they are engaged in regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a “large scale”.

I would also assume that deleting your information would only apply to the information located on the server and anything that’s already been propagated is up for grabs unless you request it from someone. Not sure how Lemmy as a software is responsible for being GDPR compliant. Again, I don’t know anything about GDPR teehee

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but GDPR doesn’t apply fully to small organizations (less than 250 employees) and mostly only applies if you offer goods and services which is not the case if you’re running a Lemmy instance. If you’re an instance owner with no employees because you’re not a registered business of any sort, you’re not on the hook for anything.

Then again, I am neither European or knowledgeable in GDPR so someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

Found its way here as well wee

Oh wow yes! That unlocked a memory

So many games for n64 feel like fever dreams to me. Mystical Ninja was where it was at. Also Hey Pikachu…. Conker… Zelda… goldeneye… banjo kazooie…

Love me some N64

I miss playing I-Ninja, not gonna lie.
