It’s nice here, but a bit under-federated. Other @Deebsters are available.

  • I think part of the problem is that even when you’re subscribed to the small communities, it’s easy to miss the posts. Sorting by Scaled helps a little, but I still often find a post from days ago that I missed.

    I’d like an option where you could “super subscribe” or something which makes those posts show up first, or even in the inbox.

    I’m surprised you say you don’t know what the 😭 face means, since it’s just exaggerated crying. Is it because they’re too small, or that you suspect there’s some implied agreement/subtext you’re not party to?

    I can see why people wouldn’t know what something like 🍆 is used to represent, since it’s not for the intended (I assume…) use.


  • Ah, I just posted about this in [email protected] (I forgot what this community was called). My Halloween history:

  • I’m another Kagi fan - after customising it a little it’s just so good, and I haven’t even played with features like lenses.

    I really like the custom bang searches (e.g. I could make !ks gravity search on simple Wikipedia), especially on mobile since Firefox Android doesn’t support the normal browser quicksearches (where you set a keyword for each search).




  • After a glance at others’ answers, it’s the same thing: the trend away from skeuomorphism.

    I always think about the time I discovered an Android area was horizontally scrollable - with no scrollbars to clue me in, it was only the fact that the icon I wanted wasn’t there that prompted me to discover the secret. I’m a software dev, if it’s unintuitive even to me, how do non-technical people stand a chance?




  • First games in ages for me! Three of us, we started with Kingsburg, stopped for curry and rugby, then continued with Suburbia.

    I love the stories that end up happening in Suburbia - my town was an industrial hellhole that no-one wanted to live in, until I built a recycling plant which I then doubled and everyone loved me.

    My neighbour’s capitalist mecca was similarly unpopular but his approach was to spend a fortune buying a PR firm, but he left it too late and his reputation never got high enough to escape last place.



  • You can add a title and description to images, folders, albums (what we’ve been calling folders), sub-albums, etc. You can search on those, but it’s not a structured thing like tags. I guess you could just store some JSON in there but you might need to get smart with your queries to search. Afraid I have no idea if there’s plugins, or even if what I’ve been using is a recent and/or unmodified codebase.

    I think it’s more designed for photo uploads, as there’s an option to keep exif data, and it automatically makes images of different sizes (including your original, maybe massive upload).
