Saying this here because I already double responded to the other post. I might be stupid and I'm not seeing an option to toggle views but one thing that I can see about PieFed that wouldn't work so nicely on a mobile web browser (at least in my case) is no compact view.

I've edited the title of my post here to include PieFed. It would be nice if some of these Lemmy app devs at least knew about the WiP Lemmy forks (if that's even the right word).

Just joined from my recently created Piefed account. Not sure that I see an option to join / subscribe from my Lemmy account.

I see, it was an app issue. Both of those links show an empty community for me via Eternity. But jumping onto my laptop quick, I see that the working link leads to the Piefed interface (duh), which obviously isn't compatible with apps currently.

Thanks, I did sub to a different Piefed community. This one doesn't show any content for me, at least in the app I'm using.

Yeah I made an account there to check it out actually. I've just been lazy at it. And I've made the assumption that it doesn't have an app yet. So I need to be in the headspace to feel like getting a little bit of shit done on my laptop.

I can always use Firefox Android if it comes down to it though, I've just got a garbage slow phone that struggles a little with Firefox these days, which is why I rely on apps more.

I'm giving myself about another week to shop around and hopefully find a more permanent home. For now I'm learning a lot about the politics and general lay of the land around here.

And yeah, it really wasn't my place to talk about development, considering that I haven't even been here for two weeks. It's just that looking up the what's what regarding multicommunities, and the way the downvote blocking thing is and seemingly always has been implemented didn't inspire much confidence in me. But I think I need to take a backseat in that conversation until I've been here longer.

never progressing much

It's not my place because my own work rate isn't much to speak of, especially in terms of the amount of times that I've started and abandoned programming tutorials over the years now. But that phrase seems to be the answer to a lot of missing / possible features around here so far, from what I've seen. It's like this place reached a certain point in development and now it's just being maintained. Which is sad, I heard about this place a couple of years ago already and from what I can surmise, it hasn't progressed much since then.

Not complaining, I like it here. Just an observation from my uneducated but not completely uninformed viewpoint.

Yeah it seems obvious to me now to choose the busiest server first but when I first came here, the join page was taking forever to load anything lol. So at that point the obvious (to me) choice was the small server advertised as for reducing load.

I'll ask it there (or here) a bit later then, if you think it seems like a good idea. Currently about halfway through a j and a cup of coffee, just scrolling and throwing 2 cents in here and there.

My experience getting started here was a rollercoaster for sure. I think that one thing that would improve the experience immensely is if there were a way to have one profile no matter which instance you sign up on. I'm on my 3rd instance right now and the first 2 were both within my first 2 days of trying this place out.

It's like if you want one permanent profile, you have to first research the politics of an instance, and its politics with other instances, and hang around long enough to check out the users and see if your first impression was true etc. etc. And just kiss your old profile and history good bye if the politics change and you need to move homes.

I'm too new to be making these kinds of suggestions and I'm far from the moderator type myself but multiple times throughout this week, I've been thinking that it would be pretty cool if there was an AskBlåhaj. Or even just general Ask Lemmy based here, that could be asking for unwanted attention from shitty people on other instances though.

Not even 24 hours after seeing this post, I've seen someone else getting the snark and a non answer for a simple question. And also a Blåhaj user.

As much of a public bathroom as it could be, AskReddit was pretty fun for 'silly' questions and general chatting. And a nice place for new users to hang around and gain karma and confidence. But with the gatekeeper neckbeardy types around, maybe what it needs on Lemmy is to be in an instance with rules that promote friendliness and good vibes.

Just an idea to throw out there anyway.

My heart goes out to all the good people that are going to suffer too, who have to share a country with people that threw them under the bus and sold them out for cheaper eggs that we all knew weren't going to happen.

Edit: it would be nice if you could repurpose deleted comments when you change your mind about replying, seeing as that 'deleted by creator' now hangs around forever anyway.
