Thanks for sharing about Sublinks. It still has the mouse(?) Lemmy icon BTW. Hopefully, they’ll keep the Federation issues in priority. E.g. this (see pic) - I can never see what pic/video is posted on a Lemmy instance. Just this attachment icon and a ‘blank’.

Deus@charcha.ccto Technology@lemmy.ml•Internet developments have gone from exciting to dreadful.2·2 years agoThey just couldn’t because computers weren’t powerful enough yet
Yahoo and ISPs like AOL tried that. And were partly successful. Yahoo was the ‘literally’ the home page for 90% of Internet users. In India, ISPs were decentralized but it’s only JIO or Airtel now, if you 24x7 service and connectivity.
Deus@charcha.ccto Technology@beehaw.org•YouTube will now show a blank homepage if you don’t have watch history on2·2 years agoHmm. It has never failed me. You’re using this, I guess?
Deus@charcha.ccto Technology@beehaw.org•YouTube will now show a blank homepage if you don’t have watch history on20·2 years agoI actually find the watch history useful as it has search in it. It’s like enabling your browser history On. “What was that video/webpage? I recall the keyword but forgot the name of the video (or webpage).”
Also, I hardly visit the site except for links shared so the home page recommendations don’t bother me and aren’t of much use to me.

Don’t be so hard on yourself. I didn’t level out emotionally until 35. Many people at 40.

Is it that person whose name starts with a K? That fellow blocked my server when I had innocently mentioned that the Fedi software I use also has all the features that they’re talking about. Of course, after spewing a whole gamut expletives and abusive words. Certainly didn’t miss out on anything.
If I were a user of that server, I would run away - AVOID servers where the admins can’t maintain their cool, remain calm and collected and take things personally - think of how they would react if you say something against a decision they make.
There’s @pinetta@fedi.software - a Fediverse alternative to Pinterest - if it interests you :)
Para 3 and 4 are pretty much a summation many instances in the Fediverse…lol. Not just those using Lemmy.
For their own sake, hope they don’t kill old.reddit.
Never used their official app but only used one 3rd party app, Bacon Reader. I’m not one who likes staring and posting/commenting from my mobile so didn’t use that for long.
Old.Reddit with Reddit Enhancement Suite for years to make the site usable
Hello, dear friend 🤝
I’m still there for the obscure subreddits and for users that are there not because of ‘engagement’ but for the love of it.
Mastodon (also, Mashiro’s fork) > Pleroma > Akkoma > Rebased. Quite a journey :D
Raised a few issues for Mastodon too which ClearlyClaire and Gargron responded/provided support.
Next up, it’s #Kbin :D
reddit also was confusing 13 years ago :)

Deus@charcha.ccto Technology@beehaw.org•"Had a call with Reddit to discuss pricing. Bad news for third-party apps, their announced pricing is close to Twitter's pricing, and Apollo would have to pay Reddit $20 million per year [...]"7·2 years agoI spend only 10% of my social media time on reddit now. The day they kill old.reddit.com, I’ll leave it for good.
Here’s hoping @kbinDevlog@kbin.social up the ante :)
Welcome to the great migration! It’s inevitable. Though I think the generation that was born with algorithms, engagements, and ad impressions won’t mind staying.
Deus@charcha.ccto Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Elon Musk has a secret list of Twitter VIPs who are getting boosted over everyone else.2·2 years agoNot surprised about AOC. They were hobnobbing at the Metro Gala and she was giggling like a blushed little girl when taking photos with him (Elon). They all have a glass of evening 🥃 in a drawing room and laugh at your silly serf squabbles.
Good to hear. All the best!
