I get a “No Posts” message on my group. The default sort method is “Active.” And mods have no way of modifying group settings to change it to something sensible.
Yet another example of user-hostility in software design with Lemmy. The hit-or-miss nature of syncing across instances is another big irritant.
Even though I called it a “plan B” in my post on r/UsenetTalk, I did qualify it with a “or A, if you wish.” I did that because I don’t truly believe in the idea of a back up community.
A community either exists, or it doesn’t.
This Black Friday, I am thinking of making the primary deals post here, with a link from reddit.
accessibility to “normal” people … we need to have a big-name provider offer free access with no strings attached; no walled garden, no caveats.
This is the point I have been arguing over on the subreddit with a user who is looking at it merely from a technical angle instead of from a regular end-user angle. I have been suggested options like browser extensions.
My answer:
The problem is access + bandwidth. What is easier?
- finding https://news.example.org/g/comp.lang.c/Axxxxxxxxxxx49z on Google/DDG and clicking through
- browser extensions + register for (free) account on Eternal September?
