As a UI/UX designer myself (hobbyist, to be clear), I really like it.

There seems to be this notion in the homebrew/FOSS/Linux community that "wasted space" is always non-preferable. I can see this being true for some people, but I feel like a lot of people are band wagoning this opinion.

It's pretty universally known and accepted in the design community that padding is extremely important when it comes to helping your brain read and separate content. And to be fair, most non-tech people prefer space and padding in their applications to make things easier to understand.

I can be entirely off base here, but TLDR: I like padding and it's literally beneficial to helping your brain understand the layout of what you're looking at better.

From what I can tell, and don't quote me on this, this doesn't really matter.

Most of my subs I have on my own instance say subscribe pending but I still get the posts federated. Not sure what the reason is, would love if somebody could chime in.

This looks to be the beginning of a trend to pull out of Reddit, and I am excited to watch it crash and burn.

I'm really happy to see so many people posting this article. While I was a little annoyed at first, I realized that it's better overall to see this popping up everywhere.

If you haven't read this yet, It's great for understanding the upcoming challenges the Fediverse will face.

Give it time. People who are joining lemmy/kbin for the first time are incredibly interested in disussing this particular topic. I think by the end of July, we'll truly start to see this community take shape.

I suggest we create a list of who is bringing what to the party, that way we'll know who's bringing what. I'll start

I will bring the f*ck /u/spez shot glasses!

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Has anybody considered OP may be getting railed by a giant schlong?

I was going to post a comment similar to this. We've made history here!

HI YOUTUBE!

I feel like this is how it will realistically happen though. People will flock to one instance and use that one community, otherwise it becomes too stagnated.

The best thing about federation is that if that hugely popular community's instance were to crash/go down, the community can just join another one. Sure it might take some coordination, but why not have one central place to hang out until it gets shitty?

Imagine youre at your favorite bar. They get new owners and then all their prices change. But hey guess what, you can make an exact copy of the same bar on a different instance! "Hey guys, lets all go to this new bar thats literally the same thing across the street!" and then everybody is happy.

Reddit? Never heard of it.

If you watch the video, you would understand that this individual is deleting specific comments, then saw the exact same comments that he deleted return some time later.

The reason why I can't recommend YouTube music is that it uses audio from videos instead of playing the studio versions of the tracks. The fact that it makes me listen to those silly audio parts in music videos while I'm trying to listen to a studio release is terrible in my opinion, and I couldn't figure out a way to hide those results from search entirely. Does anybody know if they've fixed this?

I didn't know I can let out a sigh that large. Wow, surprised myself.

This is a common issue that everybody deals with right now on Lemmy, due to federation requests being dropped instead of restarted. Hopefully, future versions of Lemmy will improve this issue.

For now, I find the best way to deal with it is to simply try to not click over to the other instance if you can help it. I just pretend those other comments aren't there.

Sure, you can copy paste direct links in two tabs, but I don't think that's really worth it.

I've been trying it out. Of course there's still a bit of polish to add, but the overall look and feel is exactly what I was looking for in a Lemmy reader app. Simplistic, large, clear text. I really love how the action/respond buttons dont appear until you tap the comment. Super intuitive.

The only thing missing is 0.18 support, which isn't really a complaint considering it just started rolling out earlier today. That's what I get for being on the bleeding edge I guess.

Welcome and enjoy your stay! Feel free to DM for any questions about Lemmy or Federation in general!

Staying? I just spent the last WEEK spending all day every day on deep diving the fediverse.

Yes. I am staying 😁
