cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/192630 I've been noticing myself that sorting by active or hot just gives me days old posts, so I've been sorting by new but it's not a great experience. this should be a pretty good middle ground. > Not sure what's happening with the ranking algorithm, but it seems like the default main page is still displaying the same set of popular posts from a few days ago. > > But if you switch to sorting by "Top Day," it'll show fresh popular posts from the past day.

lol but that's one of the benefits. You ever try to lay down and read? Shit is uncomfortable. With one of these you could just lie on your back on your bed which would be an awesome experience imo

ebooks and e comics in VR is an awesome concept really. I like to read ebooks on my tv cast from my ipad because it's really comfortable to not have to hold anything or really use your hands until you want to swipe to the next page. I think manga and comic lovers especially will benefit from something like this. Also it's really nerdy but it would be kinda dope to hear the page turning as though you have a physical book in front of you.
Plus with the eye tracking stuff you wouldn't even have to use your hands to turn the page. it could all be done for you. It seems contradictory but ebooks/comics and VR have some amazing potential together

Depends how the tech unfolds. I'm sure there will be major improvements made once adoption reaches critical mass.

You don't really have to quit cold turkey. When I stopped using Digg I'd go back now and then but Reddit had become my go to. I phased it out over a little less than a month.

Looking pretty typical Assassin's Creed. They just keep churning them out. That said, I'm playing Odyssey right now and it's actually incredible so it could be good! I just wish they'd incorporate more Prince of Persia type mechanics. The parkour is extremely dull compared to the awesome parkour puzzles from the Prince of Persia. These games are supposed to be spiritual successors but they really don't hold a candle to PoP

I like how some subreddits use base64 encoding to share linkz. I even use the chrome extension

This feels just like when reddit took over from digg. Except a lot of folks remember that and are not going for another closed source VC funded platform, so yeah I think lemmy/kbin will be the new home for this type of thing. For me it will be

Music to my ears. I mean honestly it just feels right compared to being essentially held hostage by chokepoint capitalism and all its fucking dark patterns and data mining.

I'm certain some awesome apps will come along, the openness of the fediverse makes it an excellent opportunity for whomever decides to put in the work
It took me probably less than a month to completely stop checking Digg altogether. Reddit's decidedly less slick interface had me confused and the content wasn't as easy to digest as with Digg, but it didn't take long to completely abandon it. That was like ten years ago. I guess a small point I'm trying to make is that you shouldn't feel "shame" for checking reddit. You'll adjust and learn to love whichever alternative you choose

Navidrome has been the best that I've found. Unfortunately for iOS the airsonic clients are pretty shitty. On my own computer I just add shit to foobar directly from my nas and that works better.

Like the antiwork fiasco. I remember the astroturfing going on where they tried to move people over to "work reform" aka we like work and bosses are good!

expert posters that would write 2 intelligent pages on a subject.
Basically the main thing I'm looking for in my replacement tbh.

Maybe they're doing "server maintenance" for the next 48 hours so the blackout seems like it was just planned maintenance lmao
