Same, used a script to mass edit all my posts/comments to garbage, deleted them all, then deleted my account. I noticed reddit wouldn't properly show me all my comments which made it harder to hunt them down but I got most of them.
If I can't use a third party app to view content without an account, reddit is dead to me. Luckily Lemmy has been great.
I think its good even if lemmy becomes huge, the less we have to look into those other sites to get info, the better.
And it helping the growth of the communities just makes it better. I hope people bring stuff from the other subreddits too.
I think upvotes/downvotes are a good feature to gain context on what the public thinks, but it is wierd that you cant disable it yet.
I'm sure it will come soon, its just that the app is still in very early development so they have countless things to fix.
Overall better control options is all I want. More accessibility options is always good, but I dont know a first party game thats needs an easy mode.
They are usually already easy enough for even new gamers, or already have an easy mode implemented in some way.
Built my first pc in 2020 in windows 10, tried ubuntu for a couple of months but stopped cuz it was unstable and was hurting my productivity.
Switched back to windows 10 through 2021. I did tried ubuntu again for a little bit, but it was just not working out for me. And then earlier in 2022, I tried linux mint and outside of needing to follow an extra step to properly boot with my Nvidia gpu, everything worked out of the box for me and I had a superior experience compare to windows. More stable and I also strongly prefer the UI.
I still love linux mint but I am thinking about trying fedora for the KDE experience. No issues in mint, but my time in linux makes me curious and want to see what else I been missing.
I remember seeing an older lemmy user talk about it on reddit, but he basically said that for these alternatives to be successful, we have to avoid supporting instances that push other ones away cuz otherwise it heavily cuts the userbase and prevents the entire thing as a whole from growing.
It sucks cuz I understand their prespective, but if instances keep separating from each other, we wont make progress and will just confuse users into thinking they are less communities and people than there actually is.
It also seems instance admins dont have as many tools as they should have. They apparantly cant make it read only for other instances or any sort of partial blocking at all, its either all ban or nothing. Polishing these issues up should help instance admins make less extreme decisions.
I heard it from somewhere else, but it only pops up if someone else in that same instance subbed to it before. Otherwise typing in the entire link supposely works.
I tried typing in for pokemon last time, but their instance seemed to be down at the time.
Edit: I checked it and its working for me now.
