no idea, I mostly use it to be able to read microblogs and reply to them while still using threads primarily all on one account. my best guess is microblog-only things don’t see the community and threads-only things see it as a regular thread formatted like a microblog.

nice. I should mention that the microblogs need to be put in a magazine (community) as well, but you can always just use the random one.

kinda, but you still have to put the microblogs in a community. it’s a little odd but I like it.

I use mbin and it does threads and microblogs. it’s a little janky at times and there is only one app (interstellar, android) but I like it.

sounds like they are doing what the 3ds did with some upgrades. hopefully the “AI” is actually useful instead of just being injected into a product that doesn’t need it.

how does it compare to something like jellyfin (or Plex, despite not being FOSS it’d be unfair not to mention them)?

well I’d say since non-federated Lemmy is just a forum with a bunch of stuff for federation that you won’t use, there’s no point. if you want a forum, then Lemmy is the wrong answer. Lemmy is (or at least is designed to be) an open-source, federated copy of reddit, keeping the good parts while removing the corpo stuff and adding the benefits that open-source and federation bring. with only one instance, it’s little more than a mediocre forum.

why use Lemmy instead of just being a normal forum if you aren’t going to federate?

that’s fine bc nobody can run it anyway. just do your graphics like control and it’ll run fine even without upscaling.

cool, lmk what you think after you try it. also, there’s no posts yet but on one of my Lemmy accounts I made a community for it.

I (after a lot of prior distro hopping) went from neon to tuxedo OS and have had very few issues, and only one that was major (was my own fault).

don’t wanna watch anything rn but boosted for later

I more mean just like how I’m meant to interact with it, I’ve never really used it so it’s taking a little bit to wrap my head around it.

I didn’t mean how to use the microblog feature, I meant how to interact with microblog content and how I should format it when I post it. also, even if the topic was how to use the feature, there is nobody in mbin meta.

I’d help but I can’t really code very well yet, unfortunately reporting bugs is about all I can do for the time being

guessing that’s why someone was saying Matrix “is CIA” yesterday

Doesn’t seem to be on that list but Interstellar is the only Mbin app and it could use some more devs

that’s… actually a great use for AI. good to see something intelligent is being done after all.

hey look, threads can do something Lemmy can’t! shame it’s the only good thing they can do

I like the idea but it doesn’t seem incredibly usable rn
