There are some funky federation issues right now, the servers are straining a little bit under the load spike. I can see your post.

TestFlight caps out at 10k testers. That’s an Apple thing. It’s about to be out of beta and on the App Store, though, so it will be available soon.

I couldn’t pull up the link for some reason, so if anyone else is having that problem, I think this is what OP is referring to:

ROFL it looks funky on my current phone but you know what, it’s better than what Reddit turned it into.

It’s a swipe, left to right, shorter swipe is upvote, longer is downvote. Swipe right to left to reply to a comment.

I think eventually they’re going to have button controls for those who turn off swipe controls (because I’ve tried to toggle that off and it doesn’t do anything yet) but right now, it’s all swipe controls.

I’m also seeing large documents and data space.

I have the space on my phone right now but it would be nice to have a clear cache button or something to get rid of some of that.

Awesome, every update keeps getting better :)

When I tap on another person’s username it’s just pulling up my profile instead of theirs, just making a note of it. :)

Cisgender means the person has a gender identity that matches the sex they were assigned at birth.

If you are a man and you were assigned male at birth, you are cis.

If you are a man and you were assigned female at birth, you are trans.

Non-binary can mean anything from not having a strong specifically male or female identity to closer to switching identities (bi-gender falls closer into this) to just having a lot of serious fluidity, but typically speaking at least part of the time the identity doesn’t match the assigned sex at birth.

The admin of this instance also is the admin of mastodon.world and the code of conduct (applies to all of ruud’s stuff) can be found here:

https://mastodon.world/about

Any person who is a user of this instance or participates in any community hosted on this instance is bound by those rules.

If you don’t like the rules, you are absolutely welcome to find an instance that you would prefer but remember, if you still choose to visit any community here, you gotta pay attention to the rules. If you don’t like that moderators can and will moderate, you might want to find some other place to hang out.

I feel bad for the originator of Mlem, honestly. Why in the world would someone download a beta app and then throw a fit when something doesn’t work quite right? My goodness, it’s in TestFlight, it’s not a release candidate yet and there is going to be some unexpected behavior sometimes.

My personal preference for apps is Memmy (and I’ve tried all of the ones currently in beta) but I’m not sending nastygrams to the other devs because they didn’t fit my taste preferences or they crashed or something.

Most of if not the whole mod team of r/askmen is leaving, they didn’t get forcibly removed but they’re done with the bullshit so they’re quitting.

I wonder if Reddit knows it’s doing some serious and potentially irrevocable damage to itself.

Without a doubt. It’s a cesspool over there right now but at least those communities were marked NSFW and the subs were polled to verify that was the direction they wanted the sub to go (because ‘democracy’ and ‘mods are landed gentry’ and so forth)

They have archived those subreddits for the time being. I found this:

I feel mildly bad for the parent who has to explain some depraved sexual act because the unmoderated subreddits get inundated with unmarked porn.

According to the comments of that thread, they’ve removed the moderator team for r/interestingasfuck and r/tihi too.

Looks like they’re going after the ones that went NSFW but I don’t want to spend enough time trying to find all the rest of them.

“All” picks up any communities your instance knows about, whether you personally are subscribed or not. My understanding is that once one person from your instance subscribes to something it starts federating, but unless someone does that it stays separate.

While I agree being able to search for communities needs a little help if it’s a brand new community outside of your home instance to make it less confusing, it makes sense from the standpoint of having to tell the community to talk to an external instance by having someone from the external instance subscribe.

Have them go to search, make sure everything is searching all, and have them put https://kbin.social/m/LucidDreaming as the search query.

There’s a solid chance they won’t be able to see anything posted prior to when they subscribe, but at least that will make the community federate with that person’s Lemmy instance.

I have a couple pending subscription but they still show up in my subscribed list and I can interact with them fine so at least for me it’s just a visual bug.
