I‘m thinking about subscribing to topics and it shows you a good mix of communities where overlapping threads are kind of stacked or something and you could swipe cards to see comments from different communities about it or something.

This sounds like PieFed

You probably said the same about Reddit a few times before you ended up here, too.

That account was created Jan 29th 2025, so you’re likely correct

I think the main thing is that it’s the lowest friction for just sending a message, making a “post” gives people pause, but sending a message people will do no problem, so small communities get more activity in Discord than anywhere else

I’ve got 2 gaming Discords I want to bridge with Matrix (and maybe Revolt too?) can you suggest an instance? one is for Deus Ex Randomizer, and the other is for The 7th Guest fan club

Note that when you join a Space, you are not automatically joining all the rooms inside it.

this is going to be a bit painful for people who are used to Discord

you can search public rooms but not public Spaces? how do you find Spaces? they should’ve copied the good parts about Discord lol (EDIT: I found the way to search public Spaces, I guess it can’t search across instances though which is a shame, it probably wouldn’t require much disk space to index the name and description of every Matrix Space)

I don’t even see rooms linking back to their Space?

tchncs.de has a lot of public spaces, I created my account using my Google but it just assumed my username :(

Looks cool, the main villain looks like someone from Hellraiser lol. I’m a bit worried this game is gonna feel slow and immobile compared to Eternal.

oh yea actually this makes sense, because lemmy.ml does not block infosec

yea this is weird actually, even this post is on lemmy.ml

https://lemmy.ml/post/28866410

seems like a bug to me

edit: nvm, this post is being “boosted” by lemmy.world, but comments and upvotes from lemmy.ml will be blocked by infosec, because this is a one-way block not mutual

Lemmy supports local-only private communities now, might be a good use case for that

we all know there’s currently only 1 chick in the fediverse

Lance’s quote at the end of the article is so good lol, really cool that Mastodon has lived longer than Google+ already!

They already did, in 0.19.11

Dont render images in private message (#3043)

Kinda like https://quiblr.com/understanding_your_private_personalized_feed

But for Peertube instead of Lemmy? Sounds cool, I think Peertube needs it way more than Lemmy does

I can’t believe it took them this long lol. There’s like millions of whatever latest Samsung Galaxy phone, running that compilation locally millions of times is just a waste of global compute power and everyone’s time, run it once in the cloud and cache it.

I meant something owned/maintained by Valve, it’s a name people can trust and would catch a lot of angry Win10 users switching

personally I don’t need any specific distro, but it would be a big boost for Valve

I’m probably gonna go full Linux, I already run it on my laptop and my closet computer lol

I wonder if Steam OS will be ready for desktops before this

• An Android Authority app teardown has revealed that Google is working on an inactivity reboot feature.
• This security feature would reboot devices if they’ve been locked for three consecutive days.

Pretty cool, three days is kinda long for someone’s primary phone though, I wonder if they’ll let you reduce that to 24 hours or something

What’s missing from Lemmy that would make it unattractive to the average user?

I don’t think it’s always easy to pinpoint UX issues and user friction. Sometimes these things just don’t stick with mainstream users. I say it’s worth a try to see which platform the average Reddit user will prefer.

But if you’re gonna use from a phone, Lemmy’s selection of mobile apps is unbeatable.

The rate of growth does matter yea. If an instance gets worried, they can lock signups. Slow growth means the software has time to improve as they notice issues.

Lemmy had many issues scaling before, except Lemmy had huge surges with the Reddit API blackouts.

If people start recommending PieFed now, it’s on their own terms instead of a massive wave. They can backoff if they get too many users.
