It’s nice here, but a bit under-federated. Other @Deebsters are available.

  • Downvotes are disabled on Beehaw, and I believe that downvotes from other instances don’t federate - i.e. they’re only visible on the instance the user downvoted from. If you’re on a massive instance and you view a popular community you’ll still get “useful” numbers of downvotes but otherwise it’ll mostly be upvotes.

    I think Lemmy does need a more nuanced downvote system (e.g. you need to select a reason or there’s a quota or something), but I’m not sure how it’d work with the wider fediverse.

    Edit: I should have scrolled more, two people had already written this comment).

    I’m surprised you say you don’t know what the 😭 face means, since it’s just exaggerated crying. Is it because they’re too small, or that you suspect there’s some implied agreement/subtext you’re not party to?

    I can see why people wouldn’t know what something like 🍆 is used to represent, since it’s not for the intended (I assume…) use.


  • I’m another Kagi fan - after customising it a little it’s just so good, and I haven’t even played with features like lenses.

    I really like the custom bang searches (e.g. I could make !ks gravity search on simple Wikipedia), especially on mobile since Firefox Android doesn’t support the normal browser quicksearches (where you set a keyword for each search).




  • After a glance at others’ answers, it’s the same thing: the trend away from skeuomorphism.

    I always think about the time I discovered an Android area was horizontally scrollable - with no scrollbars to clue me in, it was only the fact that the icon I wanted wasn’t there that prompted me to discover the secret. I’m a software dev, if it’s unintuitive even to me, how do non-technical people stand a chance?
