I’m reading it too at this moment. In Dutch, by the way, which is funny as there are so many references to the Netherlands. Indeed a book to dive into and forget about the here and now, though it’s not particularly a walk in the park there and then. At times it feels a tiny bit slow, but I’m enjoying it so far.

The sexist cover alone makes this book a collector’s item: it is wrong in so many ways. Nevertheless, I gained a couple of hundred elo points by analyzing the positions that are in it. If you are relatively new to chess, studying tactics will pay off big time.

Did you uninstall en reinstall the app again? That did the trick for me.

I agree with configurable swipe actions, but I think that’s already in the works, if I remember correctly. My suggestion here is to make ‘hide’ one of those actions (haven’t seen that mentioned before). And yes, ‘save’ would be very nice too.

Just tried it in my inbox with your comment, and the effect is exactly what I meant. I’m not so sure though if it is that easy to implement. Internally, I guess every post should have two flags: ‘hide’ and ‘read’. It should be possible to hide unread posts and at the same time show read posts (but also hide other read posts, if that’s what you want). This might mean an extra column in the internal database of the app, or however that works.

I disagree. I use it all the time, whenever I switch from text heavy to image heavy community, or vice versa.

This would be an equivalent of mulireddits, and something to be solved on Lemmy level, instead of Memmy level, I think. Would be awesome, indeed! The idea is there, but not implemented (yet).

I suggest DARTIS. Let me explain.

If it wasn’t trademarked by the BBC I would definitely opt for TARDIS, the hybrid of time machine and spacecraft. I am no lawyer, so I cannot tell if this is a possibility after all.

However, it ticks so many boxes:

  • Reference to space → Fediverse
  • Reference to timeline(s) → Mastodont
  • Bigger on the inside → Lemmy
  • Tribute to a crazy fun SF series
  • Cool icon

I personally have a weakness for a reference to pop culture (e.g., like the programming language Python is a tribute to the British comedy group Monty Python).

To be safe, we might use an anagram instead: DARTIS. As a bonus we will have a nice story behind the name.

Also, while TARDIS is an acronym for “Time And Relative Dimension In Space”, DARTIS stands for “Dimension And Relative Time In Space”, which obviously makes perfect sense.
