Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I want to point out that the UI can very widely when hooked up to the Lemmy side of the FV. It can look significantly different from PF or Lemmy desktop and all the various apps that hook in, with different kinds of features and abilities.
With Reddit declaring war on 3rd-party apps, the user experience there is either their godawful in-house app or browser mode old / new. Just for comparison's sake.
I'm pretty sure that a big part of that perception simply stems from Reddit's userbase being so much bigger. The ability to connect is also endemic in the Lemmy / PF structure, it just doesn't have the number of users to facilitate that.
AFAIK all that's pretty much going to be down to word of mouth / etc, as always.
People like that have been a thing forever from what I've seen, and indeed I think there's a certain bias for non-ideal users who couldn't fit in to Reddit joining the FV and other places. It many ways it makes things a bit harder and weirder here.
Lemmy on desktop, any browser, is so broken for me I'd never advise someone to try it. I assume the phone versions are better, but I'm wholly ignorant there. In any case, if they can't get a simple web interface to function, on a large instance like .world, it's broken.
I should add, not talking about picky shit. One example: I have to mark each post as "read" and refresh to home screen to continue, "next" is broken. Mostly the same for replies.
Well, shit, that sounds really weird.
Are you in a position in which you can take that to Lemmy-World-Help..?
