This. It almost only applies to desk jobs. Production workers can’t just work a day less and keep the same output, and if they can’t do it, people like me who are responsible for keeping the production running as part of their job(electrician in my case) also can’t work a day less.

If companies wanted to do this, they’d have to hire more workers to give everyone a 4 day week. But all this would do is create more costs for the company

Voyager is all you’ll ever need^^

Thanks, so I don’t have to wait for the update. For me Memmy is still pretty much useless as long as there are posts where I have to guess where there’s supposed to be which of the images.

Hm but this is just like posts looked since I know Memmy. I was talking about actual inline pics in posts, not in comments, so text followed by a pic followed by more text.

In memmy that’s text followed by text followed by a link to an image like in your screenshot

Edit: This post for example should have an image around the middle of the post https://lemm.ee/post/523075

Wefwef is trying to clone Apollo for Reddit.

Well the first sentence of memmys github description says that it’s “an Apollo-inspired iOS and Android client” so I’d say they’re doing the same^^

Shame, I uninstalled the testflight version after their comment that they won’t display inline pics like the other apps and now the beta is full^^
How did they do it with the latest update? Is it a link which opens an image in a new window or is it sort of a spoiler tag view?

Is that different from the actual app store version? Because there I still don’t see it.
btw I had to use wefwef to find your comment because memmy can only bring me to the thread but not to the specific comment^^

memmy devs already confirmed on github that they won’t add inline pics as we see them on wefwef, mlem or browser. Instead they’ll try to add a link that says “show image” at the place where the image is supposed to be. Better than the situation now but still bad imho.
That’s btw how wefwef handles pics in comments, mlem also shows the full pic here.

I’m using wefwef and I switched back and forth between wefwef, memmy and mlem.
Here are some things I considered:

• Inline images are shown in posts(instead of linked to at the end): mlem, wefwef
• Opening images and zooming them: memmy, wefwef
• saving images: memmy (Edit: wefwef too since on of the latest updates)
• Adjustable text size: memmy, wefwef
• compact view is actually compact: wefwef, mlem (Edit: memmy too since the latest update)
• jumping to comments from your inbox: wefwef , Memmy(kind of, shows comment chain of that specific post, but not highlights the comment and has no way of switching to all comments from there)
• edit comments: wefwef, memmy

As you can see, wefwef is present in all of these ^^ jumping to comment is a pretty big one for me, aswell as the inline images

But it does.
Example: You’re on lemmy.world. Let’s say lemmy.world defederates lemmy.ml today.

Now you won’t be able to see any new posts made by users of lemmy.ml, be it on lemmy.ml itself or on any other instance. You will still see everything that was posted up until the defederation though because defederation just means that your instance won’t request new copies of the content of lemmy.ml .
And they also can’t post stuff on comunities of lemmy.world(I believe they technically could do that, just that nobody could see it, but it may be that by now it’s entirely blocked to even make a post there).

Now as long as lemmy.ml doesn’t defederate lemmy.world too, their users will still be able to see your comments and may also reply to your comments on other instances, but you won’t see that.

So defederation mainly serves two purposes for the users of the instance that defederates another instance:

1. Their users won’t see any content from comunities of those instances in their “all” feed and also won’t see any posts from users of that instance in the comment sections of any comunity of any instance.
2. Users of those instance won’t be able to post on their instance.

Everything you post in a beehaw community won’t be seen by anyone else. Everything you post in a community of any other instance will be seen by everyone who isn’t on an instance that defederated yours

It killed tumblr, now it’s after reddit.

You said they don’t display the downvotes, I asked if the algorithm that does the sorting still uses them (since they’re federated so the info is technically there and can be seen by other instances) or if it also ignores them.

But the question has now been answered below so it’s all clear

But do they just don’t display them or do they really don’t use them, like could you change the „top“ sorting of any NoDownvotesCommunity just by accessing it from another instance and place downvotes

I mostly used “Top day” recently, “New” isn’t really good with “All”, more with “Subscribed”.
Browsing lemmyverse.net is useful when I actively want to search for a specific community.
With the current size of Lemmy, I mostly use “All” because I might find interesting stuff from comunities that I didn’t think of before.

maybe an unpopular opinion, but i don’t care so much about lemmy growing. it’s great right now, having achieved a lot of growth recently bringing lots of interesting content and community, but still not being so big to the point where all the disadvantages of a reddit-sized userbase start to show.

Yeah it doesn’t have to get as big as reddit and I don’t think it ever will, but at least right now I feel my “All” feed doesn’t really change that much within 2-3 days so I’d like a couple more users on here^^

if you joined lemmy.world for example as a new user, you won’t be able to see new comments made by users of beehaw.org. Only those who were made before defederation because they’re still part of the copy of your instance.

Edit: Had it backwards, you can see their posts, but you’re still affected by the defederation because you can’t interact with them since they won’t see your posts, regardless on which instance you make it.
And if you comment on a community that is actually hosted direclty on beehaw.org, no other user from any other instance will see your posts because beehaw won’t publish comments from your instance to the other ones.

The admin of lemm.ee just wrote a long post about the consequences of the latest defederations of instances that are most likely spam bots

What does defederation mean for me as a lemm.ee user?
You will not be able to see any new posts or comments from defederated instances made on ANY instance.
You will still be able to see old ones that they made before defederation
Users from defederated instances will not be able to post or comment at all in communities hosted on lemm.ee

Not what I said, but okay…

So you think that being a nazi automatically means that every view you have on anything is bad by default or that you are not able to participate in any normal conversations that don’t touch that topic, like technology or gaming, without writing racist stuff?
Because that would be the only reason defederation would be justified in my eyes.
In any other case, just don’t visit their home instance.

If a bunch of nazis want to run a server and post racist shit all day we can’t stop them. But we can (and should) defederate from them. They can have their own private island.

And what if they post racist shit all day on their own instance but also post normal and helpful stuff on communities of other instances? Just don’t visit their communities, that’s it. No need to block potentially helpful posts of members of that instance everywhere.
The same thing when there’s a NSFW and your own instance doesn’t want to see NSFW stuff. That’s fine but it’s not like the users of that NSFW instance are running around posting porn on every other community.

If some of them do, block the users. But there’s no reason defederating the whole instance because those users can and do also participate just fine in other topics that have nothing to do with NSFW or nazi stuff.

For example why should a programmer that has a nazi instance as his home not be allowed to post memes in a community about programming humour from a regular instance, when he doesn’t post anything there that is in any way related to him being a nazi?
