Thanks, I did not know that. I’ll have to try it out
What app are you using? If you’re on iOS, I know the Voyager app allows for selection of filtering your search to Communities, Users, Posts, etc. and Lemma has a pretty good smart search that has found the communities I was looking for.
As far as I am aware, at least one user on your instance needs to be subscribed to a community on a different instance or at least specially searched for it to be searchable. In your case, if no one on lemmy.world is subscribed to or specifically searched for lemmy.radio/c/amateur_radio, you wouldn’t see it on a search from you lemmy.world account. Otherwise you’ll need to use a browser to find the community and seek it out on the web. Not super streamlined yet, I agree.
The only other more functional browser searches that I know of are:
I’m definitely going to start using Usonian. It seems the most natural. We probably can’t use Colombian because… you know…that’s a country already haha
Oh you’re right, I’m on 1.13. Weird, I guess I’ll get that one lol
I don’t see that as an option in the beta Voyager. Do you mean another app like Avelon?
Alright thanks for that. Sorry I did a ban without warning. Still figuring out the whole modding thing. I think I’ll need to get back to a desktop to see the unban option.
edit: Alright it shows on my end that you are now unbanned. Remember not to iron any four-leafed clovers (don't press your luck!). Happy dad-ing out there.
I’m sorry I didn’t list a reason for the ban. It was your comment that “I had married someone who stayed hot and wasn't a dominating bitch.” It didn’t seem appropriate for the community that has a pinned message about keeping the jokes appropriate enough for a kid.
It had nothing to do with any interaction on a different community. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
My God, I couldn’t remember what that scene that dialog was from. I finally found it and here you have it posted already. 😂 Golden scene
That’s a creative idea. I would read it. But if the goal is to reach and engage more people, then it needs to appeal to them. Like previously said, most people just don’t seem to care about privacy. So what do they care about? Getting likes/approval from others? Networking? Following popular channels? It’s kind of a catch 22, because celebrities won’t go to a platform without potential followers, and followers won’t either without someone to follow.
I can definitely relate on seeing the potential of the fediverse. I even told some of my friends, “This is the evolution of how the Internet is going to work. Isn’t that exciting??” And I’m usually met with blank stares.
I think the social media giants will slowly continue to become less relevant and there will be a natural shift toward alternatives. The more polished the alternatives become and the more the communities will prove valuable with actual human connections, the more they will slowly appeal to the masses. I think many people are sucked into the world of consumerism and cannot imagine an alternative.
Thanks for the suggestion. I am trying it out now and it seems pretty solid. I’m not sure the customization features are worth a subscription yet for me, but if they end up adding moderator functions, that might make it my new favorite.
Oh snap! I didn’t realize that
I tried a lemmy.world account and lemm.ee account, each with the username and then the email. The accounts work fine on the Voyager web app, just not the native iOS app.
of when I handed my dad his 60th birthday card.
He told me, “You know one would have been enough.”
Lemma seems to be pretty smooth. And Arctic is being updated pretty frequently with nice features.
