It's astounding that such a simple feature was dropped, firstly, and then got a re-launch mentioned by the CEO himself "after hearing some great feedback"... it's just a sorting order, honestly this should have never bee

This looks amazing, thank you! It just needs to be posted as a main aggregator at https://join-lemmy.org , or even better, on the right hand side panel on every Lemmy instance. I know this would be a centralized database of commu

Reminds me of security by obscurity in cryptography, I don't buy it. In principle this probably happens but the alternative is having no large vibrant communities.

Yes, looked a bit weird. I do have an outdated web browser so there's that but I would assume this should work well even on older ones (due to the overall simplicity). Sorry for nitpicking, this is obviously a very minor issue. I alway

The problem is discoverability. You don't know where to look for stuff or people. I wanted to check out this whole Lemmy thing and found almost completely dead (no comments) communities linked from their project page. Where do I go? Ho

Reddit is one of the few places where you can find an honest (on average) discussion between common people about a variety of topics. This is very unique if you understand that the world is a complex beast and yes/no or authoritative a

I threw up a little when at Google IO they showed how to increase a complaint email by 500% with just a single click. This is a bullshit technology that makes people's life harder. The best we can hope for is a summarization bot on the

I blew up my life by quitting my job in January 2020 to find some new opportunities in the following months. Then the pandemic hit, my weekly training ended, extreme back and head pain came back, I wasn't able to fix myself up for a lo

Yeah sure, with all the advertising madness going on merit is something that will get you a polite smile at most. But why even bother with something like a blog platform? You're not even innovative (looks like substack is simpler than

by badtension 3y ago
Is this really necessary? Competing on merit no longer works? I see platforms burning money left and right and can't really understand how is this "the new norm". Especially with something simple like a blog platform.

Jesus how can a blog platform burn so much money? Where do they go? Wages? What do those people do?

Kind of hard to summarize, you search "show me X that is good for kids age N and not far from Z", you get a list and ask "plot it on a map". Also: birdeye view of suggested direction paths that shows a better feeling for
