They are clearly itching to ban NSFW content site wide (paid API doesn't even include NSFW posts). This sort of thing might make a good excuse.

But at the same time, who is going to enforce that? The unpaid moderators you just fired? LOL

Yep, give admins the tools they need to identify this activity so they can defederate accordingly. Seems like the only way.

Unpopular opinion, but I'd consider it if the API provided all the data. I never expected the API to always continue to be free. But making me pay and providing incomplete data? Nah.

Gesture and touch controls in general are much smoother in app compared to web browser.

Ah yes, let's become reliant on Reddit. I don't think this has ever gone wrong before.

Just pay for Spotify... £10 for access to almost every song ever published. People need to appreciate how good they have it.

So most of the big subs are still private, am I reading that right? That's a relief. I thought most gave up at the 2 day mark.

Allowing mods to pin comments was a mistake. Was always going to be abused.

Because even the mods that heavily support the blackouts don't seem to be promoting alternatives to Reddit for some reason. Not sure why, it seems to be the logical step.

The good thing is I think most of these issues are a design issue that can be solved client side rather than fundamental flaws in the architecture.

For example, if you go to comment on a Beehaw thread and the app just showed some kind of prompt, e.g. "Sign-up to Beehaw or an instance federated with Beehaw to comment on this sublemmy" I think it would feel pretty straightforward.

All the confusion with how federation works is something a well designed app could explain to users as they explore. Obviously it will just take time for the platform to mature to this stage.

Great, so even on Lemmy 'Shower Thoughts' are just statements.

You don't need Google Analytics to be crawled. You need Google Search Console integration to improve crawling.

I wondered the same. I imagine when they finish designing the process it will actually be cheaper to manufacture.

Reddit got filled with loads of casual users following the redesign. If you look at most people's profiles they have only had their account for a few years. I remember on Old Reddit, it felt like most people had had their accounts since almost the beginning. And also, EVERYONE knew what RES and third-party apps were and they were all using it.

I just think the userbase is completely different to what it once was.

No, the fact it's so complex is part of the problem. It's an interesting discussion to be had but it's not a Shower Thought.

A Shower Thought is something like "If Eminem’s Mom wanted to she could probably make a good amount of money selling her own spaghetti sauce" (stole this from Reddit). It's a random thought that comes to you, serves no real purpose but still just kind of lingers in your mind.

I mean a single use email like Guerilla Mail. Perhaps those domains were blacklisted.

(Sorry for the duplicate post by the way, lemmy.world is really slow and I can't delete the duplicate)

Eh, I'd rather see the original title (even if it's clickbait) than "LTT Video 327" — that would get annoying and confusing quickly.

Might even be possible to parse the video with AI and get that to generate a title. Probably overkill though.

Why can I still see Beehaw posts though?

I don't think even most Reddit clients support this tbf

Tried to join but looks like they don't accept disposable emails unfortunately.
