Boost seems to not work for me as well. Looks like I’ll basically never be using reddit anymore…

Apparently the whole ecosystem is down… DDG, Bing, etc.
I’m sure they are, but Reddit probably provides these companies with lots of personalized metadata they collect just for them which they may not get from Lemmy.
Oh for sure. He was absolutely sabotaging the proposed train network and it unfortunately worked…
Are you trying to suggest that the guy who thought driving Teslas in tunnels underground was the most efficient method of transportation shouldn’t be trusted with inserting chips into people’s brains?
The difficulty of any non-mainstream chat app is getting other people to use it. On that list, Signal is the most probable to be recognized by people who don’t have a particular interest in privacy, so it’s more likely to get more people to use it.
Can’t imagine trusting a VPN made by Google.
It would be nice if we could specify a priority list for communities (each user creates their own). If a post is crossposted to multiple communities, only the one posted to the community with the highest priority gets shown on the feed.
I think score, then in smaller less noticeable text, upvotes and downvotes. I don’t think upvote % adds much value as you have the information to calculate it already.
My go-to recommendation for a project is always a BigInt library. Helps you learn a lot about a language from project structure to syntax and operator overloading.
It’s also a lot of fun!
I wish CBC would host their own Mastodon server.
It’s mostly a result of him believing he’s self-made and therefore must have some sort of superior knowledge to the rest of the world. Classic case of being born on third base and thinking you hit a home run.
I see you haven’t used ed.
Start by finding some hashtags you like and following those. It’s a good way to fill your feed and find interesting people to follow.
Obviously I won’t trash the room, but if I’m paying a cleaning fee, I will not be cleaning…
tl;dr: The owner is alt-right and drove away pretty much everyone from the site, which is now a ghost town.
It gained about 30k users relatively quickly. The owner then went full alt-right and declared it a “free speech platform” which caused it to lose about 99% of its users (most of which moved to Discuit). After that, it was basically just 10 or so users posting some pretty racist content.
Recently, the owner put the site behind a waitlist to hide the fact that it basically has no active users…
YouTube comments have been taking a nose dive since the Google+ integration.
I wouldn’t say that. If it wasn’t for the whole reddit fiasco, I would’ve never even heard of Lemmy. Now I use it more than reddit.
Sounds about right.
