I just saw the dev comment on another thread somewhere saying they had been busy but we're working on an update that will come out soon.
I'm still using it even with ads, so I'm glad they're still alive. Idk why, though. What features do we even lack?
I think spoilers are still not working. (Please do not interpret "still" as impatience).
spoiler
Test this spoilerEdit: yup, still not working.
Edit 2: the new 1.0.15 interested support for spoilers, yay!
Spoilers coming for the next beta
Yay, where do I sign up? (Jk, I'm already a beta tester)
I hate it doesn't have algorithms to recommend some new subreddit or whatever it's called here and that it doesn't show more the subreddits that I visit most often, I'm tired of seeing so many r/worldnews or wtv, I want to see less posts of it and because it was being annoying, I ended up unsubscribing. I go to reddit more often because of this
Edit: clarification
You can filter communities yourself by blocking them. Or subscribe to communities and curate your own feed, just like you can do on Reddit.
I have a list of casual communities here https://lemmy.world/post/2216085 you can use as a starting point. Curating your own feed is the best way to browse Lemmy imo, but if that's too much, don't be afraid to block away.
I don't want to block away, I just want for it to show less, on reddit I don't need to do anything, it does everything for me
Then subscribe to communities and curate your own feed. Reddits r/all feed has always been unbearable for me
How the hell do I do that?
What do you mean "based on what you watched"?
Do you mean
a. Posts you already read show up again? (There is an option to hide read posts)
b. You want entire communities not to show up? (That is why you should subscribe to those you want and use the "subscribed" feed or, if you want to use the "all" feed, simply block the communities you dont want to see)
I mean showing more posts from the communities that I see frequently, all I want is more equilibrium, it can show up posts from r/worldnews and r/sciencememes but not too much and showing more posts from other communities that I am subscribed not just a few. Until then I will use reddit more often
So essentially a new sorting option, different from hot/active/scaled... which sorting do you currently use?
Hot subscribed, I literally just want what reddit has in this regard
You should be able to sort your subscribed feed by hot, scaled etc already. That is implemented. Click on the symbol with the multiple lines in the top bar.
Yes, I know that, not sure how that helps seeing less posts and more posts of some subreddits
I get what you mean now. That's a request that should be made to the lemmy devs, not the apps btw.
Thanks
