Even a limit of posts per community would be great. 2-3 from each community max in the first 100 would even be awesome. It would also force a lot of lesser known communities into peoples top posts and help growth in them.

126

What I mean is someone sets up a new community, blasts it with a bunch of content to get things started, or sets up a new community bot that makes 20 posts and every other post in my feed is that community. Usually with 1 or 2 votes each and no comments. No matter what way I sort I see this.

I have zero issues with people getting things going within their space, and it’s not a knock against new communities that don’t want to be empty when people stumble across them.

It’s a complaint about the algorithm flooding my feed with so much content from one place that I’ve unfortunately blocked communities over this that I otherwise would have continued to run across and maybe engaged with in the future.

I’m not sure if your first X results should all be unique communities or putting some sort of engagement threshold in place before they show up in the top X posts or something. I don’t really have a perfect answer but to me this is a flaw in the system.

We’re at a point in memes where I’m not sure if your is intentionally wrong

Queued up to the 2nd hour, what an awesome set. Glad to see him rediscovering what he loves about making music

I’m so tied of the bot spam in all these communities with 0 interactions showing up in the feed. For every one I block I swear 2 more show up. I don’t even get the point. Dead community maybe a few votes and just endless spam. Is there a block bots checkbox like there is a block nsfw

I’ve had this issue in the past. I had to spend hours on the phone with apple support to get them to manually remove my number from the iMessage database of known numbers. Then you also have to wait for that to sync back to everyone’s devices who has you as a contact. It was awful and still didn’t fix it 100%

Looking for recommendations on how to diagnose this weird issue I had for the second time today while playing Baldur's Gate. Previous time it happened was playing wow.

Anyway, what happens is my screens all go black but the game is still running, just no video output. I can still hear discord, the game running, music going etc. Just no video out.

My GPU seems to run hot for my taste (80C max) during intensive times playing games but from what I read that is a totally safe temp for a 3080. Generally around 50-65 though during normal play

For reference, I had this card for a while but just rebuilt most of my PC with a new processor, motherboard, 1000W PSU, new ram and case that I put extra fans in. This happened once in my old build and now a second in my new one.

Is this an issue with the card, the power going to it not being sufficient or something else... I am well under the wattage rating for my PSU so unless its an issue with the power in my apartment I am lost. 0 other issues with gaming or heat.

Please give any advice how to diagnose or what to do

What an unreasonably good set. This is the first time I've heard of him and have been binging shows since.

My favorite of the 20+ tomorrowland sets I watched so far.

In my experience which has been since vanilla and still playing the big guilds are just as bad as no guild. Guilds that have multiple teams can just lose people in the shuffle and become a logistical nightmare. If you’re new to raiding look for an AOTC guild that runs 1 team where everyone can get to know each other.

I assume someone reading this won’t know what aotc is - it’s an achievement for killing the final boss of the raid on heroic. It can be done very casually over the course of a tier.

Why do the people you grow up loving for their music make you hate them for their politics. It’s literally free for them all to just stfu

This is one of my recent go-tos when I need something to listen to. The entire show is amazing, but I could listen to the opening 25-30 minutes on repeat all day.

Showing the reason you edit a post isn't dumb, its to give a valid reason so people don't think you edited to make someones response look bad. Saying its for context, adding a word or whatever just shows you didn't edit it maliciously.

The whole "edit: thanks for gold and I can't believe my most upvoted comment was about editing!" can go away for sure though

I'll explain with an example - there are 3 Lemmy instances A, B, C

A federates with B but not C

B Federates with both A and C

Does A indirectly get the content from C due to B's federation with it?

That’s a great article thanks for linking it.

I’m curious how many other tools have been silently killed like that or destroyed that we’ll never know about.

I’m still shocked about the mastodon integration… “free” services make users the product so how does allowing anyone without an account to interact with your platform make sense monetarily if you don’t have some nefarious long game in mind.

With the sluggishness of the site these last few days you can sometimes get slowness or infinitely loading icon when hitting submit. If you aren't sure if your post submitted, refresh the original page in a different tab before hitting submit again to see if it went through. I see double and triple posts in almost every comment section.

This was always the hardest part of these types of apps for me... getting people who just want something to work and already have a working thing are pretty impossible to get to swtich

[-] WontonSoup@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

This truthfully reminds me of the oldschool forums quite a bit right now. A smaller user base and being able to participate without being buried immediately by thousands of other posts and get some engagement is nice. Its also nice not to see the same thing on my main page in 12 different subs being reposted to karma whore.

The recent stuff was the extra little kick I needed to go somewhere else and stop scrolling infinitely.
