/r/theoryofreddit post asking why reddit seems dead in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 52 points 6 months ago (13 children)

Reddit changed their upvote algorithm which is why it looks so much lower than it really is.

They covered this years ago..

Florida Cop Empties His Gun, Runs For Cover After Acorn Falls On Car and Mistakes It For Shots Fired in c/[email protected]

I had PTSD as a teenager and as an combat vet. This cops excuse is bullshit.

Not just pressure to get a fancy phone but that most of the socializing happens on social media now. Even if they sit in the same class, it's a snapchat message.

If they don't have access to it, they're social outcasts by default.

It's fucking crazy..

I think you're missing my point.

The cops sob story of PTSD is bullshit.

Idk and nobody I know is shooting cars because of an acorn. I've never considered it either.

No combat vet is blindly lighting up a random object because of it. I'm calling bullshit on his story..

NSFW only search terms? (lemmy.world)
 

Is there a query or filter to view only NSFW posts? Sometimes I just want to see the good stuff only.

has lemmy.world been going down these past few days or is it the app I use? (lemmy.world)
 

For hours today, yesterday, and intermittently since I've been on here (a month or so) lemmy stops loading using jerboa, liftoff, and a web browser.

The site isn't listed on any down detector I know of, and each app gives different errors but ultimately just won't load.

It's often enough that recently when I consider jumping on here I just don't because there will probably be an issue. Ranging from not loading, JSON errors, or just blank screens and my comments not working..

What's going on? Is there a status page for these places?

sub specific upvote downvote rules? (lemmy.world)
 

I think that most folks use upvote/ downvote as an v agree/ disagree. But maybe there could be, in the long run, a place where other votes could be made. Dm it's more like a song quality system, maybe similar to customer support reviews you get agree after dealing with a customer support call .

I.e. rates under multiple fields like below:

  1. Votes for meeting community guideline
  2. Votes for quality of content posted
  3. Votes identifying spam or other third party links that draw users into other platforms (only fans for now, but could be more nefarious as it grows)
  4. Troll downvote 5.??

A weight system would have to back that up to be able to provide an overall vote/downvote.

I know it's overkill, but it's a random thought I had that will hopefully garnet enough attention to spark conversation some how this place can provide an abstraction and something different from what most of these platforms currently provide. It isn't insightful, we see up and down Votes but don't um understand the reasoning behind them.

Consider it a couch thought. Happy to have others chime in on the good and bad reasons for this to exist or get thrown in the thoughts can.

Jerboa and Lemmy instance incompatible versions after today's update (lemmy.world)
 

Pretty sure Im on lemmy.world so how do I notify the admin(s) or when are they going to upgrade?

Kinda odd they wouldn't have planned these upgrades together..

They implemented the version checking in the app so..

gerboa I hope you are in touch with this sync for reddit dev (lemmy.world)
 

Sounds like a great opportunity to work together and with your powers combined create the first top tier user driven app.

I do some code stuffs myself and would gladly take a role in merging you guys together! Let the underdogs continue to thrive in the face of corporate power.
