  • Thank you. Forget Reddit. I mean, like it’s so hard to move on. She was so great for so long. We have so many… memories. Not all good, but it’s so hard to be alone. This new girl is nice, but she’s not the same.

    Sure, Reddit got pissed while I was out with my friends and trashed my apartment. It was clear by then that our relationship was so messed up, but I wanted to salvage things and rushed home, only to be cornered by Reddit. Reddit was threatening me with a knife and had broken almost everything in the apartment. My friends came to help me and while one tried to subdue Reddit, she bit him and I escaped.

    I moved out and deleted my account.

    Sure, weeks later, I got drunk and browsed Reddit a few times after all that. When I wasn’t drinking, she tracked/stalked me and sent unsolicited nudes. Nice.

    I found a much better girl to hang out with. Sure she federates with everyone, but she federates with me much more. Very cool.






  • Yeah, I think that’s one of the user experience issues we’re facing. Setting the canonical as the original server makes the most sense, but that would mean if you find something interesting via a search engine you have to figure out how to get it to show up on your home instance.

    Like for me, since I run my own instance for myself and one other person so far, I have to find interesting communities manually. It’s really annoying. Though, looking at Lemmy v0.18 release notes, a lot of new devs have made contributions and I’m sure more will help in the future. One improvement from yesterday’s release is visiting a remote community on your home server will pull the community rather than returning a 404. I think changes like that are big first steps towards improving this specific aspect of the user experience.
