Because people are sweaty neckbeards who will be pedants at the cost of being tolerable.

Please just use the normal characters for the language you’re typing in.

Also, I don’t think you need to cross post. Lemmy is small enough that everyone will probably see both posts. I did, at least.

I also do this. If yt-dlp keeps failing, change the VPN location or download the latest build and it works.

While I appreciate the effort devs put into making open source alternatives to a closed source app, the naming convention is really starting to get irritating…

Discord splits out to

• Armcord
• Legcord
• Now Sharkord

YouTube has

• InnerTune
• Which turned into OuterTune

Libre-this, Libre-that, Libre-cock and balls.

…I would love for devs to separate their software’s name just a little bit more from the thing they’re trying to replace. Please. Just be more unique. The name can still have a nod to what it’s replacing and not just be a partial modification to the original name.

That’s an extremely open ended question with countless answers…

• speedrun your favorite game
• become a youtuber and play games while streaming
• play a game with just your feet
• play a game blindfolded
• play a game randomizer
• learn to program
• program shit
• learn an instrument
• play music and post it online
• make shitposts
• learn to draw
• draw porn
• draw not porn
• write poems
• film solo comedy skits
• do multiple of these things at once

…do anything because you want to do it.

That’s all I could think of while on the toilet.

They both have pros and cons. Both deal with spam, AI slop, and other BS. It seems like a “pick your poison” kinda thing.

I am left handed. That would be irrelevant.

I think the main issue is that Lemmy is a fraction of the size of Reddit. Most people probably assume they need to post the same content in different communities to increase visibility. However, Lemmy is so tiny that posting in one community is more than enough for everyone who would be interested in the topic to see it.

I think it’d be easiest to just find the largest version of a community and post there, ignoring all of the other communities.

Exactly! That entity is really fuckin irritating.

As far as I’m concerned, it is just spam.

More advanced filtering. There’s too much spam content, both human and bot made, that fills my feed. It’d be nice to be able to filter it with some rule system or regex or something. I don’t want to see the same person posting the same thing across identical communities in different instances back-to-back in my feed.
