Sure, li’l buddy! He’s coming quick, so I’m just going to run over there to take a picture.

It’s super aggravating. Lemmy is pretty much my only social outlet. I’ve had to go back to Discord.

But hey, it’s free/no ads. I’ll probably soon be in a position (after several months out of work) to donate, but until I do I guess I can’t exactly complain.

Here is [email protected] through lemmy.world.

Here it is through PD:

lemmynsfw is the same: 12 days since a post.

Here is a link of me asking in comments if I was missing something and someone confirming I was: https://programming.dev/post/20400237/12746874

It’s the same on desktop so I don’t think it’s a phone/cache issue.

My whole feed has been hosed for a couple of weeks. I’m seeing zero posts in about half my subbed communities and scant few posts even in the ones that do get them. I’m also not seeing all the comments or votes. I assume this is being worked on, but Lemmy might as well be dead for me. I can go 9 hours without a new post anywhere.

It would be great to implement client side. I just don’t know how the comment system would work. Do you post to 4 communities all at once? Obviously moderation issues if it’s a single comment linked to 4 servers, but if it’s not then people who don’t have a client that combines duplicate comments on duplicate communities would see a bunch of garbage spam.

I guess I’m not saying it’s inconceivable that this feature could be done well, but the obstacles seem really tall. I can’t even imagine how I would implement this.

I understand why some folks would want this, but I just don’t. I don’t want to interact with users from e.g. .ml so I don’t go to communities hosted on that instance. But if they were joined in, you’d get the same people in News and Politics regardless of where you go.

I would pretty much be forced to find or run an instance that federates with exactly the right servers. Even then, I’ll have someone talking about what u/shitfart said in their comment and I won’t have a fucking clue what they’re talking about. Then there are the people caught in between who see everything and wonder why people are talking like they don’t see one another.

It would just be an absolute shit show. My instance is having some federation problems right now and I’ll see someone say “I’m jumping on the bandwagon” but there is literally no one else [that I can see] who is taking about what they just said.

I totally get why this would seem to be a good idea, but I don’t like it.

I just checked my blocked instances. zerobytes.monster is the only one I know for sure. Couple of others I’m not sure why I blocked. Most of them are to filter out languages I don’t read from the All view. Possibly lemmit.online.

There are entire instances that are nothing but Reddit repost bots.

At no point was this ever funny. Also spitting is not sexy. Being spit on is not sexy. The satisfying snap of the astroglide lid is the only lubrication sound I want to hear besides a moan.

What?

I hate you. Upvoted.

Literally the first name that popped into my head when I saw the question. There are plenty of other good choices, but she has to be near the top of any list.

Incidentally… am I having federation issues? This is the only comment I see mentioning Ripley. I see 11 comments currently…

I suppose it’s as solid as “lots of people are saying it.”

I think job postings are better in indeed, but tbh >75% I’ve gotten in pretty much my whole 25+ year career has been through a recruiter. Dice.com used to be big for tech jobs back in the day but I’m not sure any more.

As a SSE, mostly I have recruiters hitting me up through linked in. This is also a really bad time. I’ve been back to work for about a month after 5 months of not finding anything. That’s the worst drought I’ve had in almost 15 years. Usually it’s < 1 month.

Be seriously prepared about cloud. It’s so anyone fucking wants right now. I’m a damn good Java/js developer, but I’m still learning the tech stack and I haven’t touched a line of code yet in this job. Everything has been configuration and pipelines. I feel more like devops than developer.

I don’t think they are all fine. My feed is almost empty. I’ll go hours without a new post. Not just new stuff, but old stuff, too. I’ve got a single post in Star Wars ever. Zero gonewild posts in days. Even politics and news (on various instances) are barely seeing any posts. But they see a few.

I guess I’m sticking it out for now, but Lemmy has become an absolute ghost town for me with nothing to do and no one to talk to.

Me and some old guildies have kept in touch off and on over the years. Every once in a while I’d buy a wow expansion and do a couple of dungeons. We were really looking forward to making Diablo 4 our new hang out.

We played like hell all through the beta. Then like twice in live. Then we all kinda decided it sucked. I think my good friend’s daughter is graduating soon. Or possibly already did. I can’t remember how much older than my own kids she was. I can remember when she was born.

He’s still like a brother to me, but we’ve got fuck all in common any more and we can’t keep talking about glory days that were damn near 20 years ago.

Is this why my subscribed feed is basically empty now? I go 8 hours without a new post. And a lot of the posts I do see have only a single upvote when I’d expect dozens.

There’s only been a single Star Wars post ever.

If this is being worked on, that’s cool. But I haven’t seen any mention.

I gave them a couple of quarters and they played a couple games of Galaga.

When the AI bubble pops that will probably be what happens regardless.

Will second pouch recommendation. It’s a small but significant difference.
