You’ll see a list of all accounts that upvoted your OP. Why this isn’t possible on Lemmy is completely unclear to me.
Just like I don’t understand why Lemmy allows for downvotes. It’s not valuable and induces toxic behavior IMO.
It’s also possible to view what account upvoted you by viewing your post on a Kbin instance.
I think it’s rather silly that this information is obfuscated on Lemmy.
And it’s only possible to upvote on Kbin. Which makes more sense to me as well.
Voyager is now available as a native app in the app/play store
Voyager is extremely impressive for what it is - webapp
It’s not only a webapp anymore, but also available as native app now
No, this is the most serious lacking feature IMO.
But you could of course simply register your username at multiple instances and subscribe to the same communities. As there’s no ‘followers’ like on Mastodon, the effect is the same.
You don’t need to. Voyager was just released in the app store
So, now instances are hosting posts and comments that a user deleted on another instance. But that user has no way to ‘re-delete’ the OP and comment.
Now what?
I guess the instances might cross check the existence of OPs and comments on other instances, but the longer this problem exists, the larger the problem.
If that’s so, these instances (and who knows which other ones in the world) now host OPs and comments that I as an author decided to delete.
How does one delete information from the fediverse? If this is true, you cannot. Your data will be hosted forever, at least somewhere.
If people use their personal name for an account, this might result in a significant GDPR problem for all instances.
It’s a known issue:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1637
The point I’m trying to make clearly isn’t understood.
What I read are lots of Lemmy fans that don’t think through the lack of migration tools or blocking DMs are serious shortcomings and it obviously makes no sense to continue developing a front end if these aren’t fixed first.
But apparently many people think that’s very logical.
I hope you can come here again once the platform is a bit more polished.
Thanks and I hope so too. I’ve given it a try for four weeks.
That said: people respond with ad hominems on Lemmy as well. In fact, one of the comments to my OP is only ad hominem.
I think you cannot directly dictate what should be done
Of course, but that’s not the point of this post.
none of these issues are deal breaker
Imagine setting up a community, having thousands of subscribers and the administrator of the instance your community is hosted on pulls the plug.
And yes, I know people can host their own instance (see OP). But that won’t happen.
You’re not discussing the issue I bring up, but me.
That isn’t something I’m interested in, but some people clearly find it difficult to refrain from doing that.
Goodbye.
That’s not the point.
The donation page ‘rewards’ those with a mention, but doesn’t allow development in a certain direction.
You give money, but those who receive it get to decide what they do with it. Look at the GitHub page and check for yourself what is being done with that money.
Again, it’s their choice, but I think they should focus on much more fundamental issues. If the foundation of your house is missing, what’s the point of adding fancy woodwork to the outside? Or donating to a project where people decide they want to spend it on fancy woodwork while leaving the foundation problematic.
What I wrote was:
and therefore my critique is obviously unfair to sone extent: who am I to point out what’s wrong with Lemmy?
But you didn’t cite that. Is there a reason to leave that out of your citation?
You’re completely missing the point. Going back to Reddit isn’t contradictory, because the number of users far exceed the downsides.
Good to know it’s possible to delete an account. Did you actually try it or are you only looking at the user interface? Because I know there’s a button. That’s not the issue.
Did you review the Patreon page? I’m not interested in having my name displayed. I’m interested in having the developers take a certain direction.
Donating for hardware (like donating to Lemmy instance administrators) is also completely different.
But donating to some group of developers without being able to influence the direction of development really feels like a money pit to me. I’d rather spend my money on charities. Access to dev chatroom is the closest you can get.
My point with regard to Voyager is: there’s no point in building a beautiful house (because Voyager is very good), if you know the foundation of the house is missing.
And specifically the lack of migration tools is a very fundamental issue IMO. Yes, it might be developed in the future. But it might also take years, who knows.
Mastodon still doesn’t allow quote posts (some clients do though) because quote-tweets (or should I say quote-Xs?) can be used in a toxic way. Development promised to implement them in the back-end months ago, but it still isn’t possible. Searching is also absent on purpose. Those are fundamental issue that block further growth of Mastodon IMO. But that’s obviously just my opinion.
That’s why I think Voyager devs should spend time on Lemmy development IMO. Without a fundamental tool to migrate accounts and communities, there’s really no point in spending time on Voyager features.
I think most Lemmy users haven’t experienced an instance administrator suddenly quitting. Think through what would happen to your community if that happens. It’s gone. That’s what happens. Unless you decide to host your own instance of course, but try and get users attracted to it.
What will Apple do if they if the EU continues their plans with regard to client side scanning? That’s not one country, but many.
Apple previously planned on introducing client side scanning, but backed out after they received a high amount of critique.
I think the chances are significant that Timmermans becomes prime minister (The Netherlands is a Kingdom and has no president like France).
A Dutch prime minister usually is an elected member of parliament that is a member of the political party that received the most votes. The reason is that the largest party has the first chance to form a coalition and the largest party gets to appoint the prime minister if a coalition is formed. In theory an outside person might also be appointed prime minister, but that has never happened in history.
Yes, division of the political landscape is a problem in The Netherlands as well, but the new right wing farmer’s party has more left wing social standpoints than the more conservative right wing party of current prime minister Rutte. The farmer’s party is mostly upset about environmental changes that are required due to nitrogen deposition caused for about 50% by livestock. Timmermans already had a meeting with the farmer’s party leader in his role as EC commissioner and that didn’t result in some enormous backlash of problems. So that might be a sign the farmer’s party is open for negotiation about nitrogen, as long as farmers aren’t squeezed into a tight and speedily process to reduce nitrogen emissions. Timmermans is very knowledgeable about the topic and can probably work out some scheme where both benefit somehow.
The other reason why this is the time for Timmermans to leave the EC and try to become prime minister is that the green party and Timmermans’ social democrat party have decided to run with one joint election list with candidates and (as we know as of today) Timmermans as leader.
Many people think Rutte’s party will finally not be largest after all these years, but indeed, that still doesn’t mean it’s easy to form a coalition.
Timmermans is a very important candidate in The Netherlands that is having snap elections in November after prime minister Rutte finally decided to not run for his party once more after thirteen years of neoliberal governments.
It’s an ideal moment for Timmermans to switch, because waiting until EU elections would mean he could not participate in the upcoming elections in The Netherlands.
That would likely mean the neoliberal VVD or farmer’s party BBB would become largest and might even form an (extreme) right wing coalition just like happened in in several member states.
It’s probably better for the EU that Timmermans switches now.
Well… it does help somewhat, I guess. The combination of Voyager with that instance apparently is working for you.
That’s the problem. Downvotes often aren’t used properly.
