Press any key to continue… No, not that one!
Right, and what’s even as bizarre to me (as an engineer) is that they’re bots posing as people.
That’s arguably the most deceptive and malicious way to use a bot on a site meant for real people.
But they’ll quickly block any helpful bots anyone else tries to integrate on the platform.
“Our bad bots good, your good bots bad”. What a crazy world we live in.
Hmm I was gonna suggest Mastodon. I always thought it allowed long-form writing similar to blog posts.
Not interested in the short-video concept. But I like the name, though. Short, sweet, doesn’t sound too “techy”, not too complicated to pronounce or spell.
Didn’t someone create this same thing a few weeks ago? 🤔
For anyone who cares, you can get this same behavior of a normal line break by holding shift while pressing enter as well.
AllSides is a good one too
Wow what a great community idea! As more product reviews are added, it would make Lemmy more indexable to search engines as well.
Sounds like you might just want the news without fluff.
I use AllSides as my main news source for federal news. Give them a try. The writing is succinct and gets straight to the point.
They give you news of the day in small chunks separated by topic. Each topic has a quick context, run down of what’s happening, and (my favorite) how the left right and center outlets are all covering it.
They also have an RSS feed (provided by Open RSS because they dont serve their own feeds. https://openrss.org/allsides.com
Ubuntu here as well! Sticking with just the LTS versions tho 😎
AKA “Trump roast” 😄

Yeah this doesn’t make much sense to me either. The sudden influx of duplicate posts across Lemmy over the last couple of days makes it seem a little weird.
I’d also like to get notifications for sibling posts or replies to replies and so on. I just want to subscribe to that discussion.
Not sure if you use RSS feeds, but you can easily get one for any Lemmy discussion and subscribe to it. Here’s an RSS feed for this discussion, for example.
Still trying to figure out how a comment about USA culture suddenly becomes a white vs black race issue… “culture” doesnt equal “race”. Especially in the context of a discussion of an entire country.

Yeah open rss has Lemmy feeds that always link to your instance.
What do you mean by multi communities?
The clients are called “RSS readers”. Most blog sites have RSS feeds you can add to it. And there are services that can easily generate RSS feeds for websites that don’t already have them.
This is so true. It costs more money for the server power required for something like that to be pulled off.
There’s a comment in this thread going all crazy complaining about it being costly to host anything on the protocol to stop Bluesky from dominating it and everything. But im like “uhh yeah, servers and storage costs money”.
It’s just so weird how everyone thinks hosting popular sites should be free.
