I think the 196 community is the originator, though I already didn’t know what they were about when on reddit, I mostly find their posts confusing. From what I understand the (only) rule is that the post title must contain the word rule.
There is also a release notes link next to each update, which I personally find more convenient
In my opinion they do not. When considering the meta userbase we really should spend more time thinking about the quality of those potential new additions than the sheer quantity. Right now, many things that make typical social media so annoying and uninteresting to me are not notably present on the fediverse.
No overt narcissism, less tiktok content, less utterly mediocre people talking into their camera about the most average and uninteresting things imaginable. In comparison the culture here is friendly and nerdy. I don’t think it will be improved by a massive influx of shallow, vapid crap.
I am still a bit miffed the name was changed at all, I liked the uniqueness of wefwef. The new one feels very generic in comparison
Im a big Trek fan and don’t hate the name, but I found wefwef much more unique and memorable.
What is the reason you switched off that name?
As someone not into the hobby (although I have a cookie cutter mechanical keyboard), what is the point of having that few keys? Portability? Otherwise i find it more cumbersome than efficient having to constantly use modifiers to access the full range of keys I might want to press.
Edit: this was meant as a reply to the guy with a 60% keyboard
Great release, finally I can curate my feed better. One thing is missing I didn’t realize before though, could you add the option to also filter whole instances?
This isn’t strictly necessary but for example the lemy.nl communities are extremely active to the point I see half a dozen posts from them in direct succession on the all feed and that’s good for them, but i don’t speak dutch. I have no use for articles and news discussion in dutch. And since it is a bit tedious filtering every community manually, being able to filter out whole instances would be very useful.
You just described the demographics of the average early tech adopter.
Old enough to understand the importance of privacy and to care about the federation aspect of the fediverse, tech savvy and nerdy enough to not be discouraged by an unfamiliar interface and still developing environment. And apparently we like Linux too.
I too am desperate for gestures configuration.
I have used swiping in Apollo solely to move back / forward and find myself accidentally hiding or upvoting things as well. Swiping from the left screen edge works somewhat reliably to go back, but still is very inconvenient because it requires such a precise input I am not used to.
