While I personally wouldn’t want this and agree with the comments about simplicity, old forum style, privacy talking points, I just don’t understand why people downvote this post.

It’s a good question that creates good discussion (you know, purpose of lemmy) and doesn’t really lead to anything concrete necessarily. Just interesting discussion.

People use downvote as a disagree button but it does have a real impact on the feed: this post will get buried by some post feed filters and some people will never see the good discussion going on in here.

But to answer the question (even though there are already good answers): I personally think it’s also a stressful feature that will just make people feel like they need to answer to replies / will make lemmy look dead because only a handful of people use anything but “invisible” status.

!fedigrow@lemmy.zip is the active fediverse grow strategy community that I know.

Which does actually display correctly on Voyager App atleast (can confirm).

The write-up I’m referencing has some at the end. Maybe Delta chat?

Views that seriously harm or endanger other people are dangerous.

If the founder would have opposing views in e.g. should we narrow down the car roads in cities and widen the pedestrian walks - ok. I think there’s a lot to this question, I think pedestrian walks should be wider, cars are dangerous, etc. But this is not as dangerous as:

“Do you deny scientific evidence that COVID is real and a real danger to a lot of humans”

SimpleX Chat – Many suggested this and I will explicitly recommend against it due to the founder’s positions on various topics. This includes being anti-vaxx, believing COVID-19 was a hoax, trans- and homophobia, climate denial; In the SimpleX Groupchat he’s also been seen basically bootlicking trump a couple times, but I’ve lost receipts to that.

I did not know this. I’ve seen people recommend SimpleX on lemmy too, but probably they didn’t know.

No, because I need that job to get money but saying so would most likely prevent me from getting that job and, by extension, money.

Lol love the new username, fitting! :)

Well, it was just reported widely that he uses a lot of drugs and that it was way more than previously thought, so I’d say that.

He reportedly uses ketamine, ecstasy and possibly mushrooms. Ketamine usage alone can help him ignore all of that.

Honestly this has crossed my mind several times as another reason why people don’t put the phone on their ear. You might be on to something!

I’m convinced people forgot that our huge handheld devices are supposed to still be mobile phones that you are supposed to put against your ear when you call someone.

Oida

Sadly not yet at least. Have to do this in the lemmy web-UI of your instance or another app like Thunder :(

Hopefully we get in Voyager!

Just wanted to comment that am on Version 2.28.0 on android and I don’t have this issue.

Only thing that comes to mind is that last time I saw someone have similar issue was because they had accidentally deselected “english” or “undetermined” language settings in their profile on lemmy’s default web UI.

Might want to try checking those settings out, don’t remember how the other person had accidentally deselected languages but they were just as surprised.

Sounds like !casualconversation@lemm.ee might be a nice community to post this question to as well :)

Isn’t that very country/culture/field specific?

Would be cool to have that feature. In the meantime hope these two settings help :)

I use “hide read posts” + “mark as read on scroll” - that way when I come back to /all the feed starts from where I left off already or I just need to refresh and it will remove the already-scrolled content.

I vote for the dang trees. I like trees.

Instance administration is also quite time consuming and is also based on volunteer work.

The vast majority of content on lemmy will be inaccessible to an instance who is under complete anarchy / unmodded.

There is the fediseer project that helps instances block such instances.

If you spin up an LLM farm instance it’s guaranteed to be blocked in many of the big ones - making your instance a lone island.
