I'm interested in seeing how the enshittification of Threads will unfold. It's all super neat and cozy right now with a clean UI, no ads, not many sign up nags, and such. When they build up their userbase, we'll see how the platform devolves.
For me it's Google search's tab order. They always switch up the tabs for web, images, videos, etc. depending on what you search for. It makes the experience very unpredictable and annoying.
Recently they've also started putting related searches next to the tabs 🤦
Aside from the ads, you also have to sift through all of the crappy clones and shovelware to actually find something useful.
This was my exact experience a couple of days ago when I was trying to find a CSV viewer.
"Are you always this quiet?"
"It usually takes me some time to be comfortable around new people."
I've found that people are usually quite understanding and make an effort to include you in conversations if you just be honest with them instead of being snarky.
My issue with bot posts is that they lack the authenticity that comes with an actual user's posts. Isn't it really nice when an OP sometimes responds to your comments, especially on subs like r/askreddit?
I don't think we should worry about "user engagement" and growth so much. These are just metrics that companies use to increase profit and get advertisers. People here have already pointed out that they feel more engaged on Lemmy because their submissions feel more valued in this smaller community—they don't get lost amongst a thousand other comments like on reddit.
I think the focus should be on creating a space where people can have genuine conversations, even if only a few people are involved.
Like OP said, the long term goals of both instances are aligned.
Federation and defederation are just part of how the fediverse works. Don't think of the fediverse as a reddit-like network that should always stick together and grow as one userbase. Rather, the focus should be on growing smaller communities that put their interests and users first (just like Beehaw did), while exchanging information with other communities where it benefits them both. If one instance doesn't work for a particular user, they can always leave and join another one. That's the beauty of it.
Anyone trying to batch rename files on Windows should check out PowerToys. It's a first-party app that adds a lot of useful utilities. One of them is PowerRename, which lets you batch rename files using regex for precise search and replace. It also has the option to preview changes before applying them.
There is a GitHub issue about it. Looks like the endpoint could be added if someone is willing to work on it.
This is discussed in the GitHub: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1331
It seems that admins can currently purge such images through a manual action.
One of the things I still love about my 11" MacBook Air is the ease of using multiple desktops (spaces). Even with the tiny screen, I can quickly switch between apps and keep things organised with the trackpad gestures. Drag and drop is also more seamless in macOS compared to Windows.
The actual community name hasn't changed from !spaceporn@lemmy.fmhy.ml, right? I guess changing that would mean moving to a new community.
