I'd rather not see Beehaw split from Lemmy but if you feel you have to then I for one wouldn't mind seeing it using a phpbb board.
Glory to the old forums! /old grumpy mode
I've spent ages on phpBB and I do kind of miss out to be honest.
It might just be nostalgia talking though because I can't really say exactly what I'm missing about it.
Might just be the old communities that used it.
That sounded scary at first!
You guys are doing great, all of you!
And yeah, that was a risky move, a good one in hindsight, but still has to be scary?
I've had similar feelings towards Lemmy as a whole lately too. Maybe I need to play a bit with my sorting settings but it's starting to feel like the vast majority of posts on all my subscribed communities are linked posts without any extra info added.
Sure the titles themselves might be self explanatory but I'd expect the poster to actually also write something about the link they've posted. What did they think about it, what do they want to discuss about it.
Is just feels.. hollow? When you see link after link with not even an effort towards discussion from the poster.
It's starting to feel like I'm using an RSS reader.
Not sure what too do about it though. Require more text to be written for each link post? That might just end up with some copy pasting I suppose but it might be worth a shot?
As always, thank you for your transparency! <3
Yeah, it really can't be that hard to show a saving indicator..
Nice job and all.. but I really wish this wasn't a thing.
Karma is something that should stay behind at Reddit imho, it just fosters karma whoring instead of actually contributing to a discussion.
That's one of the things I liked best when I joined Lemmy, that there wasn't a visible karma counter on people's profiles.
Anyway.. rant mode off.
Still, neat job!
You ought to have a space community!
For instance:
https://www.planetary.org/rss/articles
And a bunch of nasa related ones:
I like the idea and to be honest it's probably better with registrations turned off so that all posts would only be from rss sources.
I'm definitely going to subscribe to a few of your communities!
Yeah, this is basically their business model/modus operandi
kbin seems rather promising.
Haven't really played around with it much since the federation part wasn't working. Anyone been using it more and care to chime in with their experiences compared to Lemmy?
Sorry to hear that mate! That's one of the biggest reasons I've never wanted to move towards IT forensics even though I think I'd enjoy the actual work. But having to regularly sift through the absolute worst humanity has to offer sounds awful.
Hope the immediate pain of it settles as soon as possible!
This might not be what people want but since beehaw is going to leave Lemmy anyway, couldn't you just completely defederate and run as an isolated instance? Then you'd have control of what her life gets published without having to deal with federated nastiness?
