It’s nice here, but a bit under-federated. Other @Deebsters are available.

  • I think part of the problem is that even when you’re subscribed to the small communities, it’s easy to miss the posts. Sorting by Scaled helps a little, but I still often find a post from days ago that I missed.

    I’d like an option where you could “super subscribe” or something which makes those posts show up first, or even in the inbox.









  • I’m surprised you say you don’t know what the 😭 face means, since it’s just exaggerated crying. Is it because they’re too small, or that you suspect there’s some implied agreement/subtext you’re not party to?

    I can see why people wouldn’t know what something like 🍆 is used to represent, since it’s not for the intended (I assume…) use.




  • I’m another Kagi fan - after customising it a little it’s just so good, and I haven’t even played with features like lenses.

    I really like the custom bang searches (e.g. I could make !ks gravity search on simple Wikipedia), especially on mobile since Firefox Android doesn’t support the normal browser quicksearches (where you set a keyword for each search).




  • After a glance at others’ answers, it’s the same thing: the trend away from skeuomorphism.

    I always think about the time I discovered an Android area was horizontally scrollable - with no scrollbars to clue me in, it was only the fact that the icon I wanted wasn’t there that prompted me to discover the secret. I’m a software dev, if it’s unintuitive even to me, how do non-technical people stand a chance?

    The niche interest groups are what I miss from reddit - I’m out of the loop for several things now I don’t lurk in the respective subs any more. I think I’ll start using their RSS feeds so I don’t miss out too much.

    Memes are just easy to consume and upvote, so I understand them becoming popular. I’ve got multiple duplicate accounts with different communities added/blocked so can get the memes only when I choose.

    It allows selecting multiple languages, but it’s not clear and setting multiple is fiddly - most sites use multiple checkboxes instead for this reason. Anyway, if you select Undetermined, English and whatever else you’re happy to see, you’ll see a lot more comments (and posts, probably).

    Edit: to select multiple, hold control while clicking/spacebarring to add another.

    It should have two language settings - those you might post in (for the dropdown on making a comment/post) and for those you’re happy to read (I’d just set it to all, since I can always translate anything that looks interesting).


  • You can add a title and description to images, folders, albums (what we’ve been calling folders), sub-albums, etc. You can search on those, but it’s not a structured thing like tags. I guess you could just store some JSON in there but you might need to get smart with your queries to search. Afraid I have no idea if there’s plugins, or even if what I’ve been using is a recent and/or unmodified codebase.

    I think it’s more designed for photo uploads, as there’s an option to keep exif data, and it automatically makes images of different sizes (including your original, maybe massive upload).
