Lemmy Lead Developer and father of two children.
I also develop Ibis, a federated wiki.
Yes that’s the charme of it, just like the player character you are thrown into this strange, brutal world and have to figure out how to survive. The beginning is difficult, but that makes it all the more satisfying later in the game when you actually become powerful.
Regarding mods, you should definitely get one for improved inventory, and there’s also a DirectX 11 mod for better graphics.
Gothic 1 and 2 (from 2001 and 2002 respectively) are still some of the best games I ever played. There is also a very active modding community, and some mods are even much better than the original game.
You mean that announcements like this should include a list with the names of all donors?
What you should do as a mod is set the allowed languages in the community settings. Then people wont be able to post in other languages. Though I realize that the UI for this isnt so good for now.
Yes, you can test it yourself by registering an account on voyager.lemmy.ml with the sidebar button (direct link). There are also lots of other new features available, I really need to write a post about them. To name just a few: private communities (followers require mod approval), webassembly plugins, post tags (ui is not finished yet), and more…
You can try it now on voyager.
Ads dont really work with federation, because you could simply access the content from another instance which doesnt have ads. Even if ads are directly encoded in the video file, it wouldnt be so hard to add something like sponsorblock to a Peertube instance.
It seems to me that our only chance is to wait for commercial platforms to enshittify and destroy themselves, because we can never compete with the amount of money and resources they have available.
It will be available for testing on voyager.lemmy.ml soon.
@dessalines@lemmy.ml made various UI changes that seem controversial to me. Such as changing the theme colors or moving most post/comment actions from the action menu to the context menu. If you have strong opinions on the design it’s best to follow the repository on Github and comment in the issues or pull requests where these changes are made. Otherwise these may also get adjusted later during beta testing.
This is a known issue and will be fixed in Lemmy 1.0: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5210
The best channel is through the issue tracker, for example github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui. In practice Im not sure how the UI could be changed to make this clearer. Do you have an idea, or an example how another website handles this?
We always dream, but usually we cant remember the dreams. It helps to keep a dream journal, ie every morning directly after waking up, write down as much as you remember from last nights dreams (or instead talk about it with someone). Over time you will remember more and more details.

Sounds like an adoption of this bible text. Basically a version of karma.
“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.”
To everyone in this thread, if you notice a problem in Lemmy please open an issue. We are only two developers and dont have time to browse the Fediverse all day to come across such things. Only if we know about a problem can we actually fix it and make a new release.
For reference here are the issue and proposed fix:
Adding a new sort type is not a big deal, so dont worry about it. And a new admin setting for this would also require UI changes, so the new sort type is easier overall.
The current sort options calculate the rank for each post only from the data on that post (number of votes, creation time). Your suggested algorithm looks much more complicated than that, as it requires two iterations and needs to access data from multiple posts at once. Im not sure if this can really be implemented in a way thats performant enough for production use. Anyway feel free to open a pull request, then hopefully other contributors can help you to get it working.
Sounds interesting, though from your links it’s not clear to me how exactly it works. Depending on that it could make more sense to implement as a separate sort option, then each user could try and compare it to the existing sorts.
The ranking is implemented in a rather complicated way for performance reasons:
post.hot_rank)The “Chat” option does just that, with newest comments at the top.
Ah that makes sense, thanks for the suggestion!
