Infinity was a good replacement when Sync did its redesign, which I didn’t care for. Ah well. I don’t blame them of course, but reddit isn’t something I’m going to pay a subscription to access on a 3rd party app on my phone.

That’s actually all that the “block” function on Lemmy does too - it makes it so that you don’t see any more content from a user, but they can still make comments on your stuff. In other words, Lemmy’s “block” is essentially a “mute” function, too.

Converso doesn’t care about privacy or security!?

On Lemmy, if a community on another server doesn’t appear when you search for it, you can use the syntax “!communityname@server.name”. Your login Lemmy server will then go out and index it and it will appear in the search a few moments later.

Is there a way to do that on kbin? I’ve tried every syntax for a Lemmy community that I know of and nothing seems to work.

!communityname@server.name
/c/communityname@server.name
server.name/c/communityname
@communityname@server.name
etc.

Nothing. Literally, they just need to change nothing, to do… nothing. It is their actions that are driving people away. Today as of this moment, reddit is working the same as it’s done for the past several years.

Then again, I’m defintely enjoying my time here on Lemmy much more than I was at this point on reddit. This feels more like the early days of reddit, where you have more meaningful engagements. You don’t show up to a thread only to find 1,000+ comments, and likely one toward the top saying the exact same words you intended to say.

Well yeah, Lemmy is to Reddit what Mastodon is to Twitter. Never cared for Twitter pre or post-Elon.

I started playing Firmament a bit before I saw this news yesterday. I figured the mysteriousness would unfold bit by bit as the game progressed as we’re used to with Cyan games, but now it seems it might just be a hodge-podge mess of AI written material. Oh well, the puzzles have been fun and engaging and I’ll probably keep playing.

Sympathies to them, yes.

Oh no! Anyway…

I would say that if a thing can be destroyed by ChatGPT then it probably needed to be destroyed, or at least reworked to meet the times. It’s not a lot different than people saying that calculators would destroy kids’ ability to do math, or that Wikipedia would ruin people’s ability to do research. It’s a tool, with its strengths and limitations, and should be used as such.

I’d say the sun beat them to it some billions of years ago. /s

Inb4 the lemmygrad.ml pro-Putin brigade that will tell everyone how Ukraine should roll over and die and the U.S. is nothing but a warmonger.

I’m sure Trump will deliver an end to the war in Ukraine juuust as soon as he comes through with Infrastructure Week.

For me I think it has to do with the fact that by the time I got to a thread on reddit, everything that could possibly be said about the topic usually had been said already. How many times would you visit a thread only to find that exactly what you were going to say is already the top comment?
