People here just downvote anything they don't like even if it's in its own community

Yes, but I could do this on my own without any coding, and use it directly within the app

I guess I'm having trouble communicating why this excites me so much. I'm impressed I created to create a custom feed that I personally found useful, despite not knowing how to code. I'll have to check out Misskey or Calckey later.

Haha apology accepted :)

God I can't wait for that website to die already

I'm heavily interested in Bluesky, so I started !bluesky. However, Lemmy is overall pretty hostile towards Bluesky, and I'm not willing to go back to Reddit for active discussion about it.

Despite what this website will have you believe, it’s pretty decent. However, if you didn’t like pre-Musk Twitter, you probably won’t like Bluesky.

Are there any potential repercussions for sticking a utility knife into the speaker grill?

Car-dependent suburban sprawl

Not right now, at least. There is actually a project by @snarfed to bridge Bluesky and the fediverse.

It is not well known but there have been numerous scandals which put this trust into question. For example in 2012, a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation UK used his position to place his PR client on Wikipedia’s front page 17 times within a month. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales made extensive edits to the article about himself, removing mentions of co-founder Larry Sanger. In 2007, a prolific editor who claimed to be a graduate professor and was recruited by Wikipedia staff to the Arbitration Committee was revealed to be a 24-year-old college dropout. These are only a few examples, journalist Helen Buyniski has collected much more information about the the rot in Wikipedia.

I don't really understand how decentralization would address the trust and legitimacy problems of Wikipedia. I do see value in adding community wikis to Lemmy, however.

I wouldn't really compare Bluesky to Mastodon. Ultimately, the Bluesky team still has control over what's allowed on the app and what's allowed on the network until third parties launch their own AppViews and relays.

Lemmy is probably the best fedidiverse project so far and it's not even close

Tankies are the reason why Lemmy exists in the first place.

I've started when lemmy.ml was the only instance, and stopped when !all was populated mostly by posts from lemmygrad.ml. I rejoined once Reddit cut off their API, and it certainly feels like the usual crowd has joined. So far, it has been a pretty effective Reddit replacement for the largest subreddits that migrated (!piracy, !196), but it's still missing a lot of active smaller communities.

My main complaint is that the default sort type (Active) needs to be tweaked.

Basically the same issue as r/FuckCars

Hashtags are on the roadmap, but have not been implemented yet.

Not everyone has moved on to Bluesky yet
