So your saying I should t stop playing final fantasy 16 or refund my armor core to try it out? :)

I still prefer discord but good move on thier part.

This is likely not the case for everyone but if there is a must have feature in iOS 17 it’s live voicemail translation and transcript of voice memos in text. Where I work people voice memo all the time and it’s annoying when you are unable to listen to it yet they want an answer lol

Also the new options for stickers as tap back is fun and there is some cool stuff with Live Photos you can do to make your own. And interactive widgets is, I hope, going to be very interesting.

But overall it’s a lot of very nice feature updates.

Personally core belief that people create and breed the toxicity. Use any system you want if people behave toxic it will become toxic.

As usual for me I will stick to the beta u til it expires. That or I would leave the test flight to not take up a spot.

I would line to try and help but I can’t get any of the tags or the main branch to compile after a clone at the moment. Any advice?

TLDR - Reddits success was not in its variety but in its ease of use. We need a central place to simple make accounts and login to that is always up and stable and we need a unified front end for searching for communities.

Lemmy needs a front page and centralized signup, login and search spot. It is a waste of time and effort to explain the mechanics of how it operates to new users. If someone can easily signup, login and search communities (and create them) then the mechanics of how the system works can be explained at a later date.

The biggest issues for Lemmy right now and in the medium term are going to be scale, finding communities and signups.

There is so many people from Reddit and other sites that the current mega communities get bogged down and start being unusable which only adds to the confusion on signing up.

There are some ways around this but none are easy or obvious. A new user will know less popular servers to make an account on if the main ones are inaccessible. Also the log in at one server and you can sue the rest is not something that is quickly explainable.

Finding communities is also a challenge though it’s getting better with various sights and apps starting to pop up and we still need a lot of the main ones from Reddit created here but even a medium sized Reddit community would render a Lemmy server unstable.

Good to know. Something like an icon or something would be helpful but I was under the impression that would search through your current subs not help you search for new sub/communities.

I guess it just needs some better indicators.

As a follow up. If I wanted to do my own version of a hi element like a card view. Would I just fork it and then mock it up and reach out here or on Mastadon to send some screens over?

I am new to all this dev stuff and very new to GitHub so I wouldn’t want to mess up the flow with a bad PR or step on toes.

Also I did attempted to clone the repo earlier but I was getting some errors about mutating a main actor. Did I clone the wrong branch?

I will take onto this and ask is there a way to search for communities? I thought I saw one after I logged in but now I can only seem to find the all post/subscriptions page.

I am not so smart. Thank you for the kind answer.
