Yeah I hope so too. The app is coming along nicely otherwise though!

Matter is going to take a long time to take hold if it ever does at all. Say what you want about zigbee and z wave but they’ve been around a while and have good support so it’s probably better to get familiar with something like home assistant and just use those protocols instead.
The lack of voice channels is huge for something that looks like it is trying to be a discord alternative. I really can’t believe it still isn’t really implemented.
Honestly though even setting aside the lack of voice channels there is a bigger issue. Getting people to switch to something like matrix. I have so much trouble trying to get my group to switch to ANYTHING new. Tried to get them to switch from iMessage to telegram or signal. They tried it for a day and then went back. Getting them to switch from razer comms to discord was even a removed back in the day. People just don’t like trying new things.
Sorry for the rant I just find this endlessly frustrating. Lol.
Looking tasty!
Yeah I would agree with all these things. Hopefully, the fact that this project is open source will mean that someone or a group of people will put some time and effort into improving the UI bits as issues with it come up.
You aren't doing anything wrong! This site/app (lemmy) and the concept (fediverse) are still super early days so there are going to be many problems. The site has some layout issues and there isn't nearly as much content as Reddit but that's just because it is new.
The most important bit, to me at least, is that the fundamental idea of the fediverse is good. We have had to many instances where social sites like Reddit, Facebook and Twitter can just decide what people can and can't say, they can remove our content and they can monetize it all without doing any real work of their own as far as creating content. The idea of the fediverse ensures that no one server, person or company has all the content and thus the control.
I really hope people stick with something fediverse whether it be lemmy, kbin or any of the other projects out there. Post content there, cross post it from Reddit if you really have to post to Reddit too for whatever reason. Please don't give these companies all the control anymore.
You did it! Welcome. Obligatory fuck spez.
Damn it… yeah take your upvote…
I wonder how well it will run on the steam deck. Specifically mine where I only have 64gb of internal storage and most of my games are on an SD card.
I’m really dying to find out if this blackout continues past the first 48 hours and if it has any impact on their decision.
It sort of doesn’t matter to me since the Apollo dev already said he wasn’t going to keep his app up due to how spez handled the whole situation.
I really am glad that people are still flaming Reddit but at the same time they are still using the platform which is disappointing. I was really hoping people would accept that Reddit has gone to shit, that there is no going back to the way it was, and to move onto another platform like Lemmy or whatever other alternative.
