yeah definitely odd

I tried to unsubscribe and re-subscribe thinking maybe that would ‘fix’ it, but now its stuck in a subscribe pending state which may be worse, I don’t know

probably a federation issue

I have the same problem with kbin.social magazines (well, m/mma which is the only one I care about)

tried asking on both platforms and didn’t get much traction

as long as the money isn’t being wasted or contracts being handed out to companies owned by politician’s friends, yeah

yeah it’s a shame that libertarian basically means closeted republican these days

is there a better term?

I’d consider myself pretty libertarian-minded in the whole ‘you live your life and I live mine’ style, but not in the ‘let corporations do whatever they want to workers and the environment’ style

the sorting algorithms definitely need some work, I try to use ‘Hot’ but it constantly shows me posts from 1+ year ago

and multi-reddits were the only way I used that site once the feature was created so that would be a very welcome addition to lemmy!

looks like they added it

https://old.lemmy.sdf.org/

mlmym does have their own site where you can login with sdf credentials, or maybe that’s how you generated your screenshot?

I used it for an old.reddit.com nostalgia hit, but it was kinda flaky because I couldn’t post or comment a few times without some error

I do think alternative frontends would be cool to have on lemmy, but that would also increase maintenance work for the admins to keep it updated and whatnot, so I sympathize if they only want to have the 1 official frontend to maintain

anytime I saw a thread on reddit with 1,000+ comments I didn’t even bother to add my own view

I do like how pretty much any thread here on the fediverse is small enough that I feel like I can make a comment and participate

some communities do feel quite active, but I think sports as well as some niche interests could use a boost in activity here

according to that same website, kbin activity has been dropping

down from ~57,000 average at the beginning of July to about ~32,500 active users now

I know I’ve been having issues with federation from kbin magazines to my lemmy instance, so I wonder if this is part of it?

I’m not sure if all of your points are covered, but this page has fediverse tips and an active mastodon account where you might be able to ask for the remaining scenarios to be covered

a million times this, so many young people overwork themselves and burn out quickly

I cringe whenever a see someone has checked in code at 1am on a weekend, and these people are also working normal business hours so it’s not like they are only working at night

sadly it’s usually the same people who never take PTO either

I was able to log into the mlmym instance with my sdf credentials, although posting/commenting was not working for me the other day so it may be a bit flaky

that makes sense

federation between kbin.social and my instance lemmy.sdf.org seems to be awful and I couldn’t tell where the breakdown was occurring because the issue is intermittent/partial federation

I’m not a web developer so I can’t really say what solutions are best, but I have faith there are people smarter than me working on robust solutions

I haven’t looked at the specs but it is similar to UDP vs TCP?

quoting posts unlike Mastodon

what happens when a Firefish user quotes a post and it federates to Mastodon? Is the quote lost?

let’s start our own c/place, with blackjack and hookers!

cool I’ll check them out, thanks!

I completely stopped using reddit but that old.reddit.com interface is still the best imo

most themes look like from early 2000’s

I thought that was a major selling point 😭

I’m assuming you’d need an account specifically on endlesstalk.org to use these frontend?

I’m already moderating a few communities so completely migrating to a new instance is probably not worth it for me (and I’d prefer to keep my sdf.org connections)

I’d love it if these alternative sites could use a login from a different instance somehow, basically operating in the same way a mobile app does
