Lemmy.World is running amazing for the amount of users that is has but when I am trying to scroll, every 2 seconds the post im looking at gets shoved to the bottom, with Lemmy skyrocketing in popularity, having the new posts appear on the front page constantly is making it very hard to browse.
Does anyone know if there is a way I can stop that? Or do we just have to wait for an update?
For people browsing on Kbin: this is the first federated posts I’ve seen on here, am I missing something obvious that tells me this is a post hosted on a different service? As far as I can tell this could have just been any other post on Kbin, which is cool but I’d love it to be clearer that it’s not. It even says “kbin.social” under the title. (I’m on mobile if that makes a difference).
As a Lemmy user, I believe the way to tell is when looking at the top, you should see the user@instance, and it is posted to “lemmy.world@lemmy.world”, this community is the home of the lemmy.world instance so it’s abit confusing, but say “gaming@kbin.social” is how it should show for Lemmy users
Edit: and speaking of the “first time I’ve seen a federated post”, I heard kbin.social turned off federation since it was getting overloaded with users, much less other instances. It’ll slowly get better
We don’t have that here on Kbin, at least not by default, maybe there’s a setting I’ve not turned on. Your username shows as just “mitchacho74”, no @ stuff unless I click into your profile.
I’m registered in lemmy.world and you appear to me as DannySpud and nothing else. If I click in your profile I can see that you’re @DannySpud@kbin.social. However I see the full username for other lemmy users (from different instances)
Oh that’s interesting. Kbin doesn’t quite work the same?
I’m not sure, is part of the fediverse so we can interact (in the same way that mastodon users can read and reply to lemmy posts), but it’s a different project with different code. Communities are called Magazines there, and there’s also a microblogging functionality. I’ve lurked a bit kbin.social, but I won’t create an account if I can use this one.
It also appears to not be fully federated or something.
Hmm federation has its pros, but I wonder how many communities are so splintered across different instances that they haven’t had a chance to grow yet…
Yes, reddit has a similar problem (there’s usually a few communities for any given theme), but being all of them on the same webpage makes it easier to browse and discover.
Yeah, new users aren’t going to be able to find communities easily here.
Yeah, that’s a bit weird … kind of cool too, like we’re all just part of a big party with no initial way to divide without specifically looking. With that said, the possibilities of duplicates are high and the opportunity for fuckery is even higher, lol
I tried kbin, but I left it behind when I realized I couldn’t tell the difference between federated and non federated posts.
