im going to write documentation for something I don’t understand and can’t figure out? Maybe if we had a dedicated website we all use that let us upvote good posts we could have a thread about support for the latest upgrade and then we could use the answers on that website (maybe we call it Lemmy) to update the documentation (which is partly on github, partly on the join-lemmy docs page, and scattered across 4 matrix channels)
thats not an upgrade support thread its a thread announcing the release. Notice how no one is posting there asking for support and no where in the documentation does it mention the thread. People are guided towards the matrix instead and theres like 4 matrix channels where people ask questions so its all unorganized, unsearchable on search engines, and no benefit of upvotes
Grocery shopping for a recipe you then cook together. Or walk in the park
Because it feels way more like we’re in person when facetiming? Being able to see eachother and show eachother stuff is great. Its much different to discord because you’re focused on eachother not doing other stuff while the video is on the side
The fact that most people cant answer that is the problem. More people have android phones than iphones yet everyone knows FaceTime and no one knows a name for video calling on android phones. Android users dont have a culture to video calling where as people with iphones casually facetime eachother instead of doing phone calls.
Trams would be good too
How do the arrs protect you from untrusted uploaders though? Don’t they just automatically download torrents based on the names and number of seeders?
Google doesn’t have vision or taste in my opinion. They released a million messaging apps and STILL haven’t made a decent one. Its been how many years and they still use SMS on most androids and people have to rely on whatsapp, a Fcaebook app… now they’re releasing their new “standard” RCS which has competing versions some with end to end encryption by default and some without.
They STILL don’t have a FaceTime alternative unless you use whatsapp…
Google knows how to show ads and everything else has so little passion and vision i dont trust any of their services because they love to kill their products
What we really need are trains/subways
OCHs?
What do you find on Usenet thats not on torrents?
Are you trying to learn how to make money in rehab to buy drugs after rehab…? Dude.
Clearly you need to focus on the rehab part of rehab and not be thinking about money or anything other than your health.

Embed youtube/invidious/peertube that pins on scroll
Never heard of it thanks for sharing. The app section of the join lemmy website should have get some push requests to include all the current apps.
A UI element for a specific usecase makes the world of difference to get something like this done and made efficient enough so the site can be self sustainable. Unless we want to have days of the year dedicated to donation banners covering the website like wikipedia has to do.
Id rather support the internets library directly than pray the people maintaining it figure out deals to make the people funding it rich at some point
Reddit is clearly owned by Venture Capitalists that are forcing the site to go to shit so they can fill their pockets with ad revenue. If we self funded reddit or forums etc so that we can keep ot sustainable and focused on being the best instead of making a small number of people an infinite amount of money we would still have the reddit we love.
The reason the enshittification of reddit and everything is because at the end of the day bills need to be paid and developers need to take breaks or pass on work to other. Look at how the mobile lemmy app mlem got treated so badly and was too stressed to keep developing it… Servers cost money. Open source software development cost money. Just like Wikipedia i want to support it to ensure it can stay sustainable. Making it easier for people to see the health of the server helps keep it sustainable and alive
Yeah this would be great and much more transparent than how reddit did it
People use third party apps and wont see it in the side bar. Besides having it part of the code will make it easy for each server to easily implement it and it can be automated in the future.
Nope, its partly on github, partly on the join-lemmy docs page, but mainly scattered across 4 matrix channels.
I think it does make sense because this is a discussion platform thats very organized and when people google an issue they can easily find it if its here
