People who think Lemmy is too political and refuse to join is good. in c/chat@beehaw.org

I wish the fediverse is able to contain all the ideas, all the political positions and that disconnecting/blocking an instance is only used for behaviors like spamming. Not giving every political stance the opportunity to be a part of the same world fuels extremists.

Beehaw and other instances can kick all the users with far-right beliefs. That's fair. But Lemmy users shouldn't be blocked to listen to or even interact with them, in their own instances, if they wanted. Don't help creating political ghettos.

I'm not familiar with a lot of the stuff you just explained :) so I'll just compliment you on the great work! It looks great.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Is the fediverse suitable for blogs? (beehaw.org)
 

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understood so far about the fediverse, someone can host an instance with only one community (or create a community in an existing server) not allowing posting, but allowing commenting and use it as a personal blog. Correct?

That way, Beehaw/Lemmy would be an aggregator of communities and personal blogs which conveniently one could see in the same feed (like in RSS).

Is it doable or is there another recommended way to keep your blog connected with the fediverse?

I just saw the video and was impressed by the amount of detail Apple puts in their "apple way of doing what already exists" but at the same time really discouraged to even try this stuff. Can't explain much better than saying: everything seems dystopian. Like Marques says: who would be at their child birthday party with a headset on their head? I just think it's another step in the long stair of individualism.

Great Post, really inspiring. But I'm mesmerised by the design. How did you achieve this? Is it a template or did you built it from scratch? I'm returning to blog after leaving ten years ago and this is exactly the kind of look I was looking for. Congratulations.

how’s your week going, Beehaw in c/chat@beehaw.org

It's going pretty good because I think I'm finally making some progress towards being more focused. Although I need to confess that was pretty thrilled with the onboarding on lemmy and checked it a lot during the weekend.

Apart from that I'm cutting ties with general stuff and news and focusing on: books (reading The Stranger right now), one single magazine about current issues in the world, hearing good music and starting to play an old RPG after great advice I received on c/gaming. I'll workout after work and then start a campaign.

Suggestion for the creation of new communities (beehaw.org)
 

Disclaimer: I don’t know anything about coding or how this stuff works in the background.

But I’m a fairly old reddit user excited with Lemmy who thinks that the the limitation to the creation of communities is a good thing and that there’s always a chance to make stuff differently.

The concept I would like to brainstorm is: branching.

Instead of simply giving the ability to create new communities to users, would it be possible (and desirable) to just branch existing communities? As an example, let’s imagine that DnD discussions start to dominate the gaming community (yeah, I know, it’s just for theoretical hypothesis). Could the mods at a certain point decide to create a sub community for DnD inside the gaming community? When people would subscribe to “gaming” they would see the existing branches and decide if they want to subscribe to gaming in general or just that one set of games in particular. Apart from the benefit to the user, a mapping of Lemmy’s communities would also be much more easy to visualize.

I don’t know… this just occurred to me and wanted to share.

Can't see my post on profile and all of the answers to it. (beehaw.org)
 

I've posted this on /c/gaming. When I go to my profile and select "posts" it doesn't show anything. Also, a lot of people where kind enough to answer me, a replied and none of those comments show. The post has 52 comments and I can see maybe 5 of them (and none of my replies).

I've tried on the site and now on jeroboa, no difference.

Also, I can see the replies on my notifications but after clicking they won't show on the full comments on the post.

Am I doing something wrong?

What are you reading? (June 2023) in c/literature@beehaw.org
[–] d3fc0n1@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

I'm reading The Stranger, by Albert Camus. It's a short read and I'm already focusing on some of The Atlantic's recommendations in the Summer Reading Guide.

Could you recommend me a game? (beehaw.org)
 

What games would you guys recommend for a guy near 50, who doesn't have a gaming pc (my laptop is an i7, 16gb RAM and using onboard graphics) which tend to have an older community? I used to play RPG's and my least favorite games are those first person war games.

Something that doesn't require synchronous gaming and doesn't have a lot of stress would be even nicer.

Thanks for any input!
