I don’t understand this post, at all… Did something happen to Lemmy? This post has very clear intentions.
If you just wished to help the folks at sublinks to gather information on moderation tools, as you claimed, you should have just opened an issue on their github or on their sublemmy or whatever. Do not create a sticky for 200k people to see.
It should work in Boost. The new version fixes that. Give it a try.
Any idea when the next version will be released?
Moded APK with lucky patcher
Can you tell me more about this lucky patcher? Any links? I have never installed an APK, other than the f-droid one. I stick to apps from stores.
Thank you for the sources! I will surely read them.
This is a good question and one that whose answer is probably not going to be well received in this community but:
I tried finding their content elsewhere but was not very successful. Seems like TikTok is being used more and more for that.
This is what I was considering.
Ya… There I thought “God, things are going to break…”… But all is good so far.
Not all… Sometimes it is needed to improve things forward. But most releases do not break API access points. v0.19 is going to be great. Hopefully apps are fast in updating.
You can report bugs. But honestly, the best thing you can do is to use and drive attention to lemmy. Post things, comment, drive engagement. If more people use lemmy, the more successful Boost For Lemmy will be.
I have replied to someone else further down with my opinion on this topic. I think it also fits in a reply to you, so I will just copy paste it here:
Yes, it might sound worrisome, but I dont think you are pushing authoritarian ideology by using Lemmy. The code itself is fine. The code is not authoritarian. The server which hosts your account is also not authoritarian.
Lemmy is, right now, the best alternative for a reddit-like platform. It is something created for the users, by the users. By using lemmy, you are not enriching the wallets of the shareholders. By using something like reddit, you provide content and a select few get to buy a new yacht.
Also, plenty of people are contributing code to lemmy. It is no longer just these 2. The code is also Open-Source. Anyone can fork it and create a new version of lemmy, with compatibility with the current version of lemmy. By using lemmy, you are allowing the possibility that, at any time in the future, someone else comes and says “I have some ideas to improve lemmy, let’s do this on my own terms”, forks it and continues the work without massively spliting the community.

I think this is bad for Lemmy as a whole, as a community but only due to misunderstanding and generalizations… People are going to equate the “censorship” on the server lemmy.ml as censorship on Lemmy, the platform/software. That is just NOT THE CASE. Please, whenever someone mentions lemmy.ml and its censorship or the likes, be fast to mention that that is a specific lemmy server and the beauty of lemmy is its decentralization and the fact that it is open source. There are plenty of other servers.
I fear that this kind of thing drives people away from Lemmy, when it should not.
As far as I know, not yet. Once it is released, you can do it with Aurora or the getting the APK. But it is not released to the public yet.
Indeed, mod tools are something that seriously need working. I dunno if they are working on it. Hopefully yes.
Regardless, please do create content and try to improve lemmy!
I am a mod at !gaybros@lemmy.world. I wish there was more content, but it is not bad.Lemmy is still at the start.
Hopefully more and more users start seeing the benefit of having a platform that is not enriching the wallets of the shareholders and is instead something by the users for the users.
Welcome! Please create content and engage.
Behave by Sapolsky. I have not finished it yet. I did see his lectures though. But this is my bible. I love Sapolsky.
That is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. What the fuck.
I read all your posts on this thread and honestly… I am shook. There is very clearly some resentment there, resentment that goes beyond the interests of the community and beyond the points of the OP.
There are always going to be issues with this type of software. You should raise them appropriately, on their repository, so they get fixed in the next release. That is how FLOSS works. Do not use that to divide the community. We are not big enough for that yet.
Instead of being shady and manipulative, how about you create an issue/post with the current lemmy bugs/troubles and give an honest chance to the devs?
And you are mad because of documentation? I mean, I understand, it must be infuriating, specially being the biggest community. I understand the stress. Had it happened to me, I would have been mad as well. But come on. Be better than that. Documentation is text. Just send a PR with the correct configs. That should be easy. Sure, you hurt, but use that to improve the community, not to divide it.
And check the upvote/downvote ratio of all your comments here. You have more downvotes than upvotes. That is the community speaking.
And I wonder @ruud@lemmy.world, is he speaking for Lemmy.world with his comments?
