1·6 days agoWe could also consider showing lemmy.world again
Possibly. Dumping everyone at lemmy.zip is a possibility too. lemmy.wtf is is a bit too on the nose.
I would avoid using instances without “lemmy” in the name like reddthat, it was very confusing to me when I started out.
I would consider removing the topic selection, because there are some which barely narrow it down (technology, general or politics each show a few dozen instances)
I think I agree with that, at least for now. The only topic instance with real specific activity in that list is probably blahaj for the LGBTQ.
The new front page looks much better and cleaner. Not sure about the “Apps” though, people need to create an account first so. Maybe “Instance selector”? Also I’d call it “Mobile Apps” instead, “Apps” is a bit vague.
I still plead for removing both buttons and directly showing the “instance selector” in the middle area, with the “See all instances” showing in the top bar only. Maybe slightly more prominently than the other top bar icons
link aggregator rant
The definition used by Reddit currently is also possible

that would make Lemmy a “forum and (social) news aggregation” platform. “Link-aggregation” sounds much to vague to me, as if Lemmy is a link-scraping bot. But I’ve gone on that rant in the past.
One of the buttons talks about “instances” and the other one about “servers in your new design”. Not sure what the difference there is

2·6 days agoExtra clicks are a huge deal. There’s a reason platforms like Amazon are so focussed on minimizing the amount of clicks users have to go through to from webpage to payment.
Getting a Lemmy users to finish their registration in this case is similar to “getting a transaction done”. Language selectors are a massive list of languages and a big hindrance.
No this is a parody hence the community it’s in. Though ironically strikes on Iran were expected last night but they were cancelled, possibly because of how unpopular it was. So against all odds, maybe we did it Lemmy.

3·6 days agoWith the current amount of users on Lemmy I think language specific content is still too niche and it should be nothing more than an option. The extra click certainly isn’t worth it. People can always sign up for a language specific Lemmy instance later on if they so wish. They just need to get in, and get in fast with minimal friction.

The term Link Aggregator has got to go. Call it a forum and call it a day
-
Join Lemmy button is redundant. In fact I don’t think it should even exist. All the buttons have got to go and people should directly see the “what are your interests” selection menu.

-
Donation button can be on top, but I don’t think it’s handy to have it at onboarding when people don’t know what Lemmy is
-
See all servers button at the top as well
-
There needs to be more “general” servers. Lemmy.world was the most popular choice because people want to check out Lemmy and just click on “general”. Not sure if .ml still has the commie paste prompt.
-
If possible let their first server be a general one without email verification so they can quickly join
-
Most people don’t have a preference for interests, I’d make one giant button on the left saying “all” or " general" or something like that which just directly sends you to a “general” server, and one on the right which allows to select interests.
-
Images of Lemmy at the bottom are a bit confusing maybe? undecided on that
-
“All topics” and “General” is redundant

Selecting interests for personalized experience is something which should happen on an account basis imo. Reddit lets users select their interests and bases their frontpage algorithm on that. And people can change those filters if they so wish to get a different feed. That’s customization on an account level, not on instance level.
Language customization should be less emphasized, or should be put in the “interests” section based on their country IP while joining. On the internet imperialist English has been considered the default language. The join-Lemmy page is English to begin with.

Almost like they have some kind of narrative to push and don’t actually care about the cause of the suffering…
Context: How US sanctions crippled lives of Iranians Trump says he wants to ‘help’
The protests in Iran started from Tehran’s Grand Bazaar on December 28, 2025, after the rial plunged to a record low against the US dollar. Shopkeepers shuttered their businesses to rally against rising prices in Iran.
The plummeting currency has triggered steep inflation, with food prices 72 percent higher than last year on average.

24·7 days agoAbstaining is nothing more than a cowardly way of voting in favor. They have veto rights and they know it will pass if they don’t veto it.
Silence is consent in the most literal terms here.
The abstain vote was very useful to filter out those who actually care about human rights from those who only speak about it to further their own cause. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubeCHFGZM-E
For sure, I’m doing a little self-deprecation with the post title as well.
But what people must keep in mind is that the goal of the online activism is to eventually spur others into material action. This can be things like boycotting, but also direct action like road blocks or vandalism.
Calla Walsh (where I found this meme) also made an excellent post about that today https://xcancel.com/CallaWalsh/status/2011064052303196378

AMD is generally better but compatibility wise both should be fine.
Hamas combat videos use it to designate Nazi targets before they get eliminated by the resistance. The triangle is a reference to the red triangle on a Palestinian flag.
Example:

This doesn’t at least:

- Froze a young Palestinian girl to death
- Blocked 37 international aid organisation from saving the lives of Palestinians unless they swear fealty to Israel
- Shot at least 4 civilians in Gaza
- Shut down the UNRWA water supply for Palestinians







It’s been a while since I tested but the AI person recognition training in Immich was much better than alternatives.
After labeling a few faces I could easily search through all my folders for pictures where one or multiple people were present. Very handy when you want to create a picture book.
