Just an FYI but if you posted anything prior to March 2023, the Pushshift project archived it. Even if you requested Reddit itself to remove all of your data, everything will exist in that archive forever.

It works in Chromium too.

X, formerly known as Twitter, is one of the largest social media platforms. To not report on a change like this that injects ads that you’d see on “news” websites with clickbaity articles would be silly.

That would be great. I am not sure if it was RES doing it or it was a default reddit thing but I do remember images automatically expanding on there. Having it happen automatically on Lemmy would be great as long as the user is not on a slow or data-capped connection.

Currently on reddit if you attempt to link to a image directly outside of reddit and somebody clicks it, it’ll redirect them to a media viewer page that hides all the comments but provides a link to view them. As much as I hate that redirect, I don’t think it is a terrible idea for Lemmy to do as well because of the issue your friend had with the thumbnail that you wanted them to click.

Seconding Thunder as it is the only Android app I’ve found that I like the design of and doesn’t lag whenever scrolling through loads of image posts.

Testing to see if I can post “body” as well.

A point I haven’t seen mentioned yet is the lack of an accessible Automoderator equivalent on Lemmy. Moderators of larger subreddits use it to implement spam filters, remove commonly asked questions, handle multiple reports and sticky important information to the tops of comment sections. Not having a feature like that built into Lemmy can be a dealbreaker for those moderators.

Looking at the screenshot at least, it looks like a load of computer nerds got together to respectfully collaborate instead of fighting over space like what happens on /r/place. I love it.

Instance owners would block that kind of instance based on the activity of its users instead.

I found out about Lemmy a few years ago when I started looking more at the Fediverse, but I never really felt a need to create an account here as I could just browse around. It wasn’t until recently due to Reddit’s announced changes that I wanted to start interacting here more.

Apart from the inevitable performance issues at times and some weird UI issues I’ve found (lack of error messages when things silently fail, unable to navigate away from a page when something hasn’t been saved, no dedicated community settings page) I’m enjoying my time here.
