I was also using jerboa (and beehaw hasn't upgraded, either).

I ended up exploring other apps and are really liking thunder (it reminds me of baconreader).

Another honorable mention is liftoff.

Tbh, I don't know why jerboa was released as "stable" but with a forced server upgrade. It seems a bit strong armed. Anyway, I'm thrilled that other applications exist, so I get the continued functionality I want w/o needing the admins to accommodate me.

Oh, I hope this (eventually) works with Skyrim VR!

Do you have any suggestions for finding decent "gently used laptops"? The few times I've looked (ebay, Craigslist, etc) they've been pretty shady (looks fine, runs like it's eaten a litter of dust bunnies).

I didn't know it was open source until 2018. According to the article, they needed to go close-sourced due to the video player (lol)

... But you can find the original source code at: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit1.0

I really wonder if this is the code for https://old.reddit.com

Well... it does have an MIT license (meaning you can use it for anything)

It would be wickedly funny to see a Lemmy frontend with a Reddit 1.0 theme.

lol ... and what was the average life expendency in the 70s?

From what I've read: I don't think so.

The tools for user and site admins to moderate/filter is rough at best.

I think we, as users, can only "block" each group and site admins can only defederate (which effects all registered users)

I foresee many discussion threads in Lemmy/here being crossposted in /r/startrek (aka: Malicious Compliance)

This appears now be "sold out"

Yup, that's me. I'm trying to make lemmy my new home and limit my access to Reddit (vote with your feet). I still check Reddit for the polls and a few nitch communities that don't exist on Lemmy (yet)

Oh now that you mention it, a sharable link would be a must. This would promote curated "Awesome..." repos/links.

It would be ideal if it were part of the fediverse naming convention. For example "/m/multi-subreddit-name/c/group1@domain1/c/group2@domain2/..."

It would allow full transparency, the ability to update / change it... places could even provide URL shorteners for it.

Edit 2: formatting (come'on Lemmy don't let me down)

Wow, is that how Lemmy really works? Beehaw disables the downvote, but since I federated through it - I cannot downvote anywhere in the fediverse.

I wonder if this means that people from outside of Beehaw can downvote threads posted in Beehaw (anyone is welcome to downvote my Beehaw responses - in the name of science, mind you :)

I'm really going to have to think about hosting my own Lemmy server. It sounds like whoever's site you register through has quiet a bit of control (especially outside of their respective site).

You mentioned that you're hosting your own Lemmy server. Have you had any issues accessing or being accessed by others in the fediverse?

One feature suggestion for Lemmy someone made: Create something like a multi-subreddit with Lemmy groups .

I love the idea. Basically, you could toss all the fragemented tech topics into a single multi-subreddit, giving you the ability to browse through a single topic but spanning different Lemmy installations.

Thank you for the article, but can we talk about the eye-cancer that MSN has de-evolved into?

I click on the link, see the first 3 lines of the article (that I cannot actually click on to read the rest) followed up with an infinite wall of ads and "other articles you may enjoy".

Thanks for the heads-up, I had no clue it was released.

Another random thought: Can we increase the title limit (200 characters)?

I'd posted a "low effort" (bundle) [https://beehaw.org/post/577245], but needed to cut some content in the title due to the 200 character limit.

Wow, I noticed the prices in different currencies. Fantastic work!

I've got one question: since the community is rather small, would it be possible to enable the downvote button? I'm not certain if this is a site-wide setting or not.

This would allow us to weigh "good deals" vs "okay deals" vs "shovelware"... which means more relevant deals will rise to the top and would probably attract more people (creating a positive feedback loop)

It's not a website rather an app, Spotube (although it's a bit buggy) would allow you to download your play lists from various "free" sites.

I immensely appreciate your transparency on this issue and the goal to create a safe-space for people.

Originally, I didn't agree with the enacted solution... but your previous post - did add a lot of context (I'd suggest to those who don't agree with the policy change to read it first, before commenting).

I hope these moderation tools are developed quickly - so this "quick fix/nuke" can be removed.

In principle I agree with karma turned posts into people gaming the system.

However, I've heard one of the struggles for Lemmy Communities is to keep people from lurking.

Karma might be a stupid feature but it is/was a cheap way of driving participation - it could help Lemmy (especially at this early stage). Even if karma encouraged people to just up voted, it still raised visibility on the more interesting topics.
