This is why Lemmy needs to keep tweaking it’s feed algorithm. I understand why many people rightly have a distaste of social media algorithm fuckery, but Lemmy doesn’t have some of the same bad incentives that an ad driven site like Reddit or twitter might have. A better algorithm will help Lemmy grow and surface interesting posts organically.

The recent feed change to boost smaller communities in 0.19 is a good start, and not showing too many posts in a row from the same community will be another welcome change.

Ah, that’s fair. I’m a pretty casual player and didn’t really go deep beyond the medium skill levels, so I didn’t really appreciate the cut-corners beyond that. I hardly even played much multiplayer TBH, I played and loved the single-player campaigns, which is what I tend to do on most games :D

I saw that announcement video when it first came out and was super hyped for The Division. I didn’t end up playing it until around 2019 and I was really impressed with how close to the trailer the actual gameplay was. I know it had some controversy, but I guess I’m easy to impress lol

Surprised nobody’s said The Division yet. The first one is incredible fun IMO, and the second one is good, but not as much fun.

Ironically this image is doing what the influencer is supposed to be doing, which is ragebaiting for virality. I’m pretty sure the cigarettes in last two pictures are completely photoshopped precisely so that people fume and rant. I’m willing to bet the captions in the entire set of images is made up. Where did you find this post, OP?

You’re tripping, I’ve donated :)

I seem to be missing a bottle of vodka

Maybe your 10 year old has it?

Neat, the customization does help make it look a lot better than the defaults. I wonder why they didn’t just make this the new UI.

I did not know that, I’ll check out the other options, thanks!

Oops, yeah, I did!

I’ve been using LibreOffice as an MS Office replacement for a decade or so, although most of my documents are still on Google docs. The LibreOffice UI seems to have never really improved at all, and even the updating experience is annoying. I don’t understand how such a lucrative productivity app has no developer support behind it?

OpenOffice got me really excited, because that UI seems modern and polished. It’s really unfortunate that it’s mostly we lb based and apparently really slow.

So yeah, 100% agree with you. LibreOffice with the OpenOffice UI would be 🔥

I know about Mastodon instances run by the government, but are there any lemmy instances run by governments?

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, reddit had an option like that IIRC.

Block the community?

Oh, that makes it even more hilarious!

Yeah, but I thought he was drawing a parallel between Wizard of Oz and something else, i.e. Elsa is the wicked witch of the East. If it’s older than Frozen, then it’s probably not that!

Hilarious! Is he talking about the Frozen sisters?

Funnily enough, I block very liberally.

I find that having the option to block by keywords, instances, communities and users let’s me curate my feed exactly as I want. What I wouldn’t want is for the blocks to be too broad of a brush (like in the users of instances example), which would lead to missing out on valuable conversations.

Strongly disagree. I want to block certain instances from my feed to remove posts I’m not interested in (eg NSFW, repost bots), but I have nothing against the users.

If users are blocked too, please add that behind a setting toggle.
