Oh man I don’t remember the last time I watched the matrix. And now I know what I’m doing tonight.

This is usually the cheapest one at my store. woodman’s, madison, wi:

You might have missed it, but I mentioned there will probably be an option added in the future to turn on display names (off by default).

As for other Lemmy clients, I always encourage people to look around and find what works best for you! There are a lot of great apps and what is “best” depends on the person using it.

Oh, I see. Voyager doesn’t show that because display names are confusing for mentions, can be used to impersonate, and distracting. It might be an option to enable in the future, off by default.

Edit:

Claim

To clarify how I really feel, here’s my hot take: display_name is a really awful feature and should be removed from Lemmy.

Why?

They are dangerous by default because the very concept implies that clients should render display_name instead of the username, if it exists. Which is unwise: Apps have to choose between replacing (bad for impersonation/UX/distraction reasons) and showing both (which just looks duplicative most of the time).

What makes this feature even more frustrating is that people are now using display names for their username + flairs of actually important things, like gender identities. (for example, display_name="Alex (he/his)")

It’s a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation for Lemmy clients. Some people are using display_name for important info like gender identities, and yet display_name is so incredibly easy to impersonate people and otherwise abuse.

Solution?

What is the solution? I think Lemmy should ditch display_name and replace with flair (or something like this). The general idea is that flair is NOT a replacement for your username, but rather it will be displayed alongside it.

Maybe even make flair per-community like Reddit. I think that was a much better design than what Lemmy currently has.

What do you mean?

The labeling is heavily regulated, it must contain a certain amount of actual cream too. Unfortunately shit tier “frozen desert” can be sold on the same shelf intermingled with the good stuff.

And the marketing doesn’t help either.

But it is very easy to check for the initiated bc it wont be labeled as ice cream. And easy to check ingredient list too. When I buy ice cream, I only buy when the first ingredient is actual cream.

Shameless plug for my sort lib

edit: Looking at my old code it might be time to add typescript, es6 and promises to make it ✨  p r o d u c t i o n   r e a d y  ✨

Yeah it pretty shitty. Will probably be used to disenfranchise students

I voted against it

Whut about purple people

I don’t remember the last time I needed/missed 3.5mm

That’s coming very soon. Probably next week

Oh it would be cool to see filter by instance for the getPosts endpoint too!

hmm, I don’t think Lemmy’s API allows for filtering communities by instance. That would be a really cool feature though!

Edit I found this open issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1298

Try to login to any instance and submit with blank username/password.

Alternatively, (bit more complicated but provides a nice interface to browse) you can select an instance in the signup flow, and press the (...) icon in the header to “connect as guest”

What do you mean by searching for other instances?

You can browse any instance as a guest. Not sure it that’s what you mean!

Ope!

Yep that makes sense. I am more thinking about VFR flight in the context of ultralights. So let me rephrase- in the context of ultralights (VFR) the vast majority of US airspace does not require talking to ATC or even having a radio onboard.

I’m an unlicensed ultralight pilot and I know where I can and cannot fly. Every ultralight pilot I know also knows where to fly (and how to read a sectional).

Sure but the vast majority of US airspace is uncontrolled.
