This is how the prequel to Rip Van Winkle begins.

Guide to different models? (murray.social)
 

I started looking into getting an Ayaneo handheld, but was immediately overwhelmed by the number of different models out there. Is there a guide somewhere that helps breaks down the differences? I'm specifically interested in models with an oled screen since that's the main thing I'm missing from my Steam Deck. I know there's the recently announced Air 1S, but I believe there are other oled models as well. What I'm not sure of, though, is what the difference between them are. I would assume the 1S is the "best" since it's the newest, but I also know I could be wrong.

How will we keep Meta out of the fediverse? in c/[email protected]

You sign up on (or create) an instance that defederates from them.

Is it a good thing if there are identical communities on different instances? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've found that similar communities on different instances can have VERY different experiences in terms of the community and attitude. I know I'm generalizing, but I feel a lot of Lemmy.world instances are more negative and hostile than similar instances on beehaw.org. Personally, I'd rather they stay separate. That way I can be more precise on dialing in the experience I want.

Is there a name for this tune/cadence? in c/[email protected]

Yes! This is what I'm referring to.

Is there a name for this tune/cadence? (murray.social)
 

I'm sure most of you have heard a chant/cheer using the tune/cadence I'm talking about, but it's really hard to describe something like this in text. Most of the chants that use this tune starts with "Let's go" and then some two-syllable word following it. For example, "Let's go Jackets" or "Let's go Buckeyes".

What I'm asking is whether there's a name for that particular tune/cadence and/or if there's an origin story behind it.

Hot Take: The toxic attitude towards Threads (and anything not part of the Fediverse) is driving me away from Lemmy (murray.social)
 

I unsubscribed from the Fediverse community because I just couldn't take the constant hate and complaining. Now I'm seeing it in all of the general technology communities. I get that a lot of people have major issues with Meta and Threads, but I'm seriously tired of it taking over my feed. Personally, I enjoy Threads. I also use Mastodon, but the reality is there's a lot of groups of people who aren't on Mastodon, and Threads has given me a way to follow them again. That's something I'm grateful for.

Push notifications stopped working (murray.social)
 

I switched over to a personal Lemmy instance I started, and push notifications haven't worked since doing so. I have the setting enabled in the app; I'm just not getting any notifications. Is there a way to try and diagnose this further?

Agree 1000%

It's so much easier to comment on Lemmy because it isn't a toxic cesspool waiting to tear you apart in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just don't say anything bad about the Fediverse (or anything good about Meta/Threads). That's when the toxicity with appear. That's what I've noticed, at least.

Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've pretty much completely left Reddit since Apollo shut down. I'm happy with Lemmy, so far, except I'm honestly getting tired of the somewhat elitist attitude and fear/anger towards anything that isn't in the fediverse. I noticed it when I left Twitter for Mastodon too, and it's kind of getting old.

I'm not saying some of what's being said isn't justified, it's just not what I feel like seeing every time I open the app/site.

What does this option enable/disable in the settings? I've toggled it on and off, but can't see where something changes.

I don't think it's too busy at all. It looks great on my home screen.

Easy way to bookmark post? in c/[email protected]

I am in the beta, and I am using compact mode. Is the bookmark button only available on the larger mode?

Is it me or does Memmy feel more complete than mlem in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I've been keeping all the various Lemmy apps in a folder on my home screen and switching between them to get a feel for them all. So far, I haven't found any that are perfect (nor would I expect to this early on), but Memmy is definitely up there.

Easy way to bookmark post? (murray.social)
 

Is there an easy way to bookmark a post from the main feed? From what I can tell, it isn't possible to do so using any gestures. Personally, I'd find more use out of bookmarking posts with a gesture than I would being able to reply from a gesture. I rarely reply without actually opening the post first. The same can't be said regarding bookmarking one.
