Mastodon uses the boost button as well. I think it’s similar to an upvote, it just kind of helps the post get more attention. Since kbin is a kind of hybrid of mastodon and Lemmy, it uses both the upvote/downvote buttons and boost button. I’m not sure if boosting Lemmy posts does anything though. I haven’t used kbin or mastodon very much so some of my info may be incorrect.
I think by default boost is circle (PlayStation) and B (xbox) and jump is x (PlayStation) and A (xbox). I believe roll/slide is mapped to square (PlayStation) and x (xbox). I changed boost to square/x and the roll button to l1/lb. I kept jump the same. It makes it much easier to jump/boost/roll/accelerate all at the same time.
I’m not sure your analogy about email services works here. Lemmy and Threads are not even close to being the same service as gmail or yahoo mail. It seems to me many people came to Lemmy to get away from companies like Meta though.
If you’re a student you pay $5 a month for Spotify, plus you get Hulu with ads, and Shotime.
Don’t forget another $20-$30 for popcorn and drinks!
My parents are going on an out of the country trip next week and I get to look after their Mini Schaunzer, Sky! She’s by far the smallest one I’ve ever seen, most likely due to her being the runt. But she’s got a very sweet personality, I’m looking forward to spending some time with her ❤️
Edit: sorry the picture uploaded sideways I'm not sure why, it looks upright in my photos.
NSFW friendly content is a big factor for sure. I've seen a few complaints about hiding nsfw content not working too well, so it seems many servers are totally against it. I hope that gets straightened out soon.
I'm not too worried about getting banned. I plan to be a rather "average" person throughout the fediverse. I was a lurker for about 10 years on reddit, but I do want to be a more active contributor here. I'm going to try to respect each server's rules as best as I can and just avoid the ones I don't agree with.
I hadn't considered making my own instance for private use. Not sure if that was what you meant or not. But it may be the safest way of ensuring your data doesn't get lost. My worry with small servers is that who ever is running them might lose interest and shut down permanently. But if a server is too big, there may be disagreements that lead to de-federating. Thanks for the tips.
My main worry with smaller servers is that whoever is running them may lose interest and decide to shut down permanently. It does seem that the pros and cons tip in either direction as a server's population grows.
Yep totally wrong post lol. Sorry for the missing context, I was trying to reply to a thread about the use of emojis.
While I personally don't care to use them myself, they generally don't ruin my reading experience unless its obvious spam. However, I have heard that they are the enemy of people who rely on screen readers. Screen readers will say something like "Tongue sticking out emoji". So depending on where they are placed in text it can probably be really difficult to read things.
The top comment of this post would be some reposted for the 8000th time "inside joke" on reddit. For me, it didn't matter what the post was about, every comment section was the same. It was especially frustrating when the post itself encouraged conversation and the top comment would be completely off topic.
