Too much US election content on Lemmy?
  • If size is of matter, I would imagine it's due to being small, but with great potential for growth and diffusion, instead.

    But like you said, and perhaps in a lighter point of view, it may indeed just be that same diffusion picking communities with established cultures already, instead of potential bots and paid actors.

  • Too much US election content on Lemmy?
  • I saw a post earlier today suggesting quite a lot of those political posts may be coming from bots or paid actors. And considering those post more often than not also carry stigmatization and faith-like views, even if it's made by actual users, I think it's still a good call to at least keep a lower tolerance, maybe avoiding the rage-click posts and communities and sticking to more informative posts instead.

  • [Zoom Platform] Old School Sale (-25% off)
  • Also dunno why the voting ratio.

    And since around Reddit (back when I used it) and the federated platforms, seldom I see complaints about the store, the next best possibility I can think of is that maybe people don't like being suggested stores/platforms other than what they're used to, like how I'd often see when commenting about GOG and Linux to Steam and Windows users, respectively.

    August Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?
  • Bravely Second and Rat King Adventures. To me, the former is being pretty fun, even more than Bravely Default, at least some 8 hours in, with the only potential problem being levelling feels way too easy. Rat King Adventure is also nice, although I'm not a big fan of roguelikes, and it got me curious since it's rare to find FOSS games.

    Why dont web comic creators make normal comics?
  • From what I can observe, quite a lot, at least from the most popular ones, seem to have both. But something I notice is that, when it has a physical release, seldom the comics' digital counterparts are sold in DRM free formats. And when it comes to digital-only comics, I would imagine that usually either their creators don't have the resources, and/or the comics' reach is too small to justify a physical release.

  • YouTube on old Android
  • Android 4.1 is super old, so getting anything still updated to run on it could be complicated. And because of that, I have maybe two or so ideas, but I can't ensure their viability. First, to replace the phone's Android system for a newer one. Second, to try to use a custom player, like Revanced or Grayjay. And as an extension of the second idea, if no programs you can find work, to try to manually compile them against the latest API version that supports Android 4.1.

  • Are there any guides for switching from Firefox to Icecat?
  • Never saw it before, but going by its description now, it's the "GNU version of the Firefox browser", so I would presume you can import everything you could between two Firefox installations, like whole profiles and favorites back up file.

  • Besides being a fresh account with no previous activity, the post looks like one of those old scam/phishing emails, or more modern, an AI text. And besides, not posting the software on a platform more common for the gaming community rises suspicions further.

    It seems that Reddit has been prioritizing controversial posts to increase engagement
  • If you don't mind, I have a suggestion that could help with avoiding running out of stuff to check.

    To see the same posts over and over is pretty annoying, me thinks. So while I don't use much lemmy world, when I do, in the lack of a native function, I hide posts through ublock origin.

    For example, the link of the OP over at your instance is:

    lemmy.world/post/18355071

    So I pick the number at the end of the link and add to a custom filter in ubo:

    lemmy.world##a[href="/post/18355071"]:upward(div[class="post-listing mt-2"])

    And yes, needs to be done to each post you want to hide. It can be a bit slow, but not as bad as seeing the same posts over and over again, me thinks.

    And as a last note, if you want a native post hide feature, places like where I'm talking from now and lemmy.ca have it.
