“Why hasn’t anyone designed a building like this before?”

“Oh.”

I guess China is no stranger to the high inflation more risk-averse economic environment.

Took me a year and 150 applications and 10 interviews to find the job that I wanted. I wouldn’t want to wish the stress of job seeking on anyone.

My uneducated guess is that banking corps getting “harmed” by the fact they can’t suck money out of their borrowers will have to spend more effort putting each order through the courts.

At the very least, the more times that Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan is blocked like this, it will get it into voters’ heads that it’s not the President and Democratic party’s failure to act but co-ordinated obstruction by Republicans and the financial institutions.

It’s non-free, it’s non-libre, but it does pass the bar of open source software. The OSI, EFF, RMS or whoever don’t have to say it is in order for it to be true.

You can distribute it but there are limitations on it, you can make a fork of Grayjay that is free to use, review, re-distribute and add parts to it adhering to other open source licenses from whence they were developed as long as it’s non-commercial, and doesn’t make any representations on behalf of FUTO or Rossman, essentially.

I think Lemmy should be it’s own thing. Similar to Reddit but not a full-on replacement. I do think an aggregated feed of similar communities on a topic ought to be a feature, but I think, hell, if 80 different instances want to host a politics, funny, fediverse then let them do it!

The reason why I don’t want there to be a “definitive” worldnews community is that only one group of mods/admins have all the say over what’s allowed for that worldnews. The other "worldnews"es can fill the niche where one is missing, perhaps critique of certain regimes is discouraged on one but encouraged on another. Perhaps posts about identity politics is talked about on one but is completely banned on another. Perhaps another world news is dedicated to making jokes and memes about current events, while another strictly allows only serious and on-topic discussion.

Sure, a mechanism to allow all these worldnews communities to appear under one page would be good as a feature suggestion, but to make any rule about “one definitive” lemmy community on a topic defeats the purpose.

Seconded! I have used RedReader for several years and love the no-nonsense interface it has provided. Being able to use Lemmy with it would be a great experience for me.

RedReader is going to be like this somewhat going forward. Other developers of the app need their own API key, but QuantumBadger’s version, the Fdroid and Google Play version will keep the same API key.

You are doing great!

More memes, but in !memes@lemmy.ml please.

This Reddit interface flown under the radar for most of its existence, but you might have like Reddit compact mode for mobile i.reddit.com. At least until they killed it this year like in March without so much as an announcement.

I had no idea in what scenario imaginable that this was going to go well or improve things, even when it was announced.

“Hey Steve, you were right. We realize we were taking your mercy to keep the API for granted. We’ll not only cancel the subreddit blackouts but we’ll stop using 3rd party apps, install the official app and click on 5 ads just because of how admirable your AMA post was.”

-Redditors in Steve’s mind

Hello! Must have been a long journey travelling from the lands of Kbin. Come, sit down and have a cup of tea, why not stay a while?

Yes, but the growth should be at a consistent, manageable level because if too many users haven’t quite comprehended the ethos of beehaw it may start to lose its unique charm.

Yep and Christian made a somewhat reasonable proposal: If Reddit truly believes Apollo users are costing Reddit $20M in activity a year, it can have my app for $10M which would only be a 6 months worth of liability.

Welcome and enjoy your stay!

A “quick fix” might be to test for a user unapproved status on login and provide it as a status (e.g. 404:application_denied). Then the behaviour can be either release all created but unapproved accounts after 24hrs elapse or perma-“ban” until approved like it is now depending on server preferences.

“Quick fix” as in it’s seems quick but will take me a while to implement if I were to try and I won’t have time for a few days to get serious and become familiar with the code.

I don’t have statistics visual over time, but currently active user ratio is well above average on Beehaw, at roughly 23% compared to 7% overall.

Well done, and pats on the back for keeping it by-and-large civil!

I looked at the participation (active user) rate, it shows above 20% in Beehaw and 7% overall in Lemmy. Normally subreddits of 3,000-6,000 are kind of slow and people post once in a while, most probably lurk.

Here, at least for now it’s really buzzing, people get a sense that they can be heard and real conversations are happening.

Totally a sign of an ultra-successful IPO!
