You’ll see a list of all accounts that upvoted your OP. Why this isn’t possible on Lemmy is completely unclear to me.
Just like I don’t understand why Lemmy allows for downvotes. It’s not valuable and induces toxic behavior IMO.
It’s also possible to view what account upvoted you by viewing your post on a Kbin instance.
I think it’s rather silly that this information is obfuscated on Lemmy.
And it’s only possible to upvote on Kbin. Which makes more sense to me as well.
You don’t need to. Voyager was just released in the app store
It’s a known issue:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1637
The point I’m trying to make clearly isn’t understood.
What I read are lots of Lemmy fans that don’t think through the lack of migration tools or blocking DMs are serious shortcomings and it obviously makes no sense to continue developing a front end if these aren’t fixed first.
But apparently many people think that’s very logical.
I hope you can come here again once the platform is a bit more polished.
Thanks and I hope so too. I’ve given it a try for four weeks.
That said: people respond with ad hominems on Lemmy as well. In fact, one of the comments to my OP is only ad hominem.
I think you cannot directly dictate what should be done
Of course, but that’s not the point of this post.
none of these issues are deal breaker
Imagine setting up a community, having thousands of subscribers and the administrator of the instance your community is hosted on pulls the plug.
And yes, I know people can host their own instance (see OP). But that won’t happen.
You’re not discussing the issue I bring up, but me.
That isn’t something I’m interested in, but some people clearly find it difficult to refrain from doing that.
Goodbye.
That’s not the point.
The donation page ‘rewards’ those with a mention, but doesn’t allow development in a certain direction.
You give money, but those who receive it get to decide what they do with it. Look at the GitHub page and check for yourself what is being done with that money.
Again, it’s their choice, but I think they should focus on much more fundamental issues. If the foundation of your house is missing, what’s the point of adding fancy woodwork to the outside? Or donating to a project where people decide they want to spend it on fancy woodwork while leaving the foundation problematic.
What I wrote was:
and therefore my critique is obviously unfair to sone extent: who am I to point out what’s wrong with Lemmy?
But you didn’t cite that. Is there a reason to leave that out of your citation?
You’re completely missing the point. Going back to Reddit isn’t contradictory, because the number of users far exceed the downsides.
Good to know it’s possible to delete an account. Did you actually try it or are you only looking at the user interface? Because I know there’s a button. That’s not the issue.
Did you review the Patreon page? I’m not interested in having my name displayed. I’m interested in having the developers take a certain direction.
Donating for hardware (like donating to Lemmy instance administrators) is also completely different.
But donating to some group of developers without being able to influence the direction of development really feels like a money pit to me. I’d rather spend my money on charities. Access to dev chatroom is the closest you can get.
My point with regard to Voyager is: there’s no point in building a beautiful house (because Voyager is very good), if you know the foundation of the house is missing.
And specifically the lack of migration tools is a very fundamental issue IMO. Yes, it might be developed in the future. But it might also take years, who knows.
Mastodon still doesn’t allow quote posts (some clients do though) because quote-tweets (or should I say quote-Xs?) can be used in a toxic way. Development promised to implement them in the back-end months ago, but it still isn’t possible. Searching is also absent on purpose. Those are fundamental issue that block further growth of Mastodon IMO. But that’s obviously just my opinion.
That’s why I think Voyager devs should spend time on Lemmy development IMO. Without a fundamental tool to migrate accounts and communities, there’s really no point in spending time on Voyager features.
I think most Lemmy users haven’t experienced an instance administrator suddenly quitting. Think through what would happen to your community if that happens. It’s gone. That’s what happens. Unless you decide to host your own instance of course, but try and get users attracted to it.
What will Apple do if they if the EU continues their plans with regard to client side scanning? That’s not one country, but many.
Apple previously planned on introducing client side scanning, but backed out after they received a high amount of critique.
Well… it does help somewhat, I guess. The combination of Voyager with that instance apparently is working for you.
Set your Interface Language to your main spoken language
I already had selected them all including undetermined, because I want to read and reply in any language.
If your Interface Language was already set, the issue you have replying to comments can be related to the language of the parent comment or post.
That’s what I think, because it only happens now and then.
As @UnanimousStargazer@feddit.nl mentioned in their comment, if you try to reply to a Undetermined comment/post in Lemmy via browser (not Voyager) it just shows a spinning loading button when you hit Post.
That’s my own comment.
A work around is to reply to the comment directly on your Lemmy server via a web browser (not in Voyager), and select a language other than Undermined on the dropdown near the below the text field of your comment.
That’s what I indeed did.
The parent comment/post issue is with Lemmy rather than Voyager, but Voyager are tracking the issue here.
I know. Thanks!
I would be a proponent of only upvotes that are public, just like Kbin does.
I might in fact switch to Kbin just for that, but Voyager doesn’t work with Kbin.
Only upvotes / favorites is what Mastodon uses as well. It’s the downvotes of those who don’t react that can make a platform toxic. Not because the downvoters intend to, but because the author of the downvoted comment doesn’t know why it’s downvoted.
The developers can bring out both.
So you prefer an app that conceals information, even if other can see who up- and downvotes?
This sounds like a variation of ‘security by obscurity’.
But it’s already possible. If you review this OP on a Kbin instance, you’ll see who upvoted the comment with most upvotes.
Not integrating it means you give the impression to users it’s not public information. But it is public.
That’s the problem. Downvotes often aren’t used properly.
