Socks are not “just as good” as coffee filters.

In the meantime we can try to be helpful when possible!

And if your instance needs to search for the full url still: https://lemmy.ml/c/iphone

Yeah, but we can help out in the meantime!

And if you need the full url for your instance’s search: https://lemmy.ml/c/iphone

I didn’t even notice your username and was just trying to be helpfully funny, not sarcastic 😅

back in my day there was only one thread with hundreds of comments. Kids these days have it easy.

I rather like how total karma isn’t tracked. I wonder how other people feel though?

scrap the current https://join-lemmy.org/ we need a screenshot of this comment up there and nothing else NOW

Hey it’s that guy who got 20 upvotes!

That’s very true! I don’t think it should be completely random but something instances could opt-in to or have some other opt-out criteria.

It would indeed be bad if an instance focused on a specific mindset, goals, or subject was essentially invaded by clueless new users!

I think that’s a pretty low stakes problem. I would wager it’s better to get people in the door so they can begin to understand what it even means to be on an instances that fits the vibe they’re looking for.

Even if ideally we could migrate, it’s always possible to just create an account elsewhere.

There are a ton of twitter bots that do exactly this already. I’ve seen a few mastodon bots do the same so I imagine it’s possible with lemmy as well.

At worst, you could just set it up on mastodon and then have them automatically post to lemmy.

If Yishan is on twitter I hope he responds too

It felt a bit off at first to not have the top comments all be the ones with the most votes, but I like how it works on lemmy after spending time here.

You can join an old thread and not feel like it’s pointless to add to the discussion!

Aaah! So more like twitter or masto. I guess that could be useful for something?

Thanks et merci! I’m happy to call sh.itjust.works my new home 🎉

The hard part is that while you can have relative links to communities (/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml it doesn’t work for individual posts, threads, or comments.

I assume it’s a difficult problem because those would have different ids in different instances?

It feels oddly nostalgic. I think it reminds me of the fun I used to have when I first joined reddit.

Rather than just mindlessly scrolling with a couple “hehs” or a blowing air out my nose slightly faster than normal.

I think many people were looking for a reason to leave but kind of felt stuck seeing all the alternatives being either dead or abrasive.

Lemmy seems to have captured the soul of what a significant portion of people have already been looking for.
