I don't understand your comment. This is a fix for a crash in the backend, I don't see how it relates to lemmy-ui because it seems like any frontend would cause a crash with this issue if it's hitting the same API route. Also 50 is a lot. Finding a post with 50 comments is rare, finding one with a chain of over 50 in a row is even more rare. Such a thread would be clunky to display in the main comment tree anyways.

This isn't just a comment with 50 replies, this is 50 levels of indentation.

It's also funny to criticize Lemmy for being biased towards its own frontend when it probably has more (active and working) frontends than any competitor (Reddit, Mbin)

the language is called "Markdown", same as what Reddit and Discord use, as well as many others

something that didn't get mentioned in the announcement but I think is nice, the Chat view has been fixed!

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1639#issuecomment-2172090390

I believe it was fixed here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2480

it even allows sorting in either direction, you can do Chat view with New or Old sort!

In a universe where bagels meet bars, the BAGEL engine has been perfectly toasted, and the ScummVM team is now ready to serve a slice of The Space Bar nostalgia. No, it’s not the key on your keyboard. Rather, it’s a detective story set on a distant planet. Important data has been stolen, and the perpetrator is a shape-shifter laying low in a spaceport dive bar until he can flee off-planet. You play a hard-boiled detective who has the skill to psychically visit bar patrons’ memories to gather clues and narrow down suspects.

This is thanks to the kind people at ZOOM Platform, who provided us with the original game sources to work with. Help us test the game by grabbing a daily build. Read through our testing guidelines. The game features a lot of options to chat around with bar patrons’ and do various actions in the different flashbacks. So we really need people to spend time experimenting and make sure everything works correctly. And please take some screenshots along the way.

If you don’t own The Space Bar, you can try one of the free demos or purchase it digitally from the ZOOM Platform. Testing is also available on Steam via a beta branch, check the Steam announcement for more details.

Now, good luck, and fingers crossed you can find the perp. Otherwise, your bureau chief will have you getting up close and personal with toilet duties for the rest of your career. Oh, and PS: The viewpoints of different aliens differ. For the Bartender, who has segmented eyes, even the original developers felt it was difficult and left in a cheat key of ScrollLock to switch back to a single viewpoint. Feel free to use it if, at any point, the flashback becomes too much for you :)

[NEW] µ-Ziq - Grush (mikeparadinas.bandcamp.com)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Die4Ever@programming.dev to c/idm@lemm.ee

About this album

Mike Paradinas, veteran producer and Planet Mu label owner has written a new album called ‘Grush' and it's full of weird bangers that reclaim the 'dance' part of the woeful term IDM. A back-to-first-principles record, inspired in part by the group of artists IDM was coined for; melodic dance music that didn't come out of urban scenes, but interpreted them from a distance.

The tracks on ‘Grush’ are all road-tested live favorites developed with feedback from Mike's touring partner and visuals guy ID:Mora (Jan Moravec). It's a detailed and energetic journey which replicates the flow of a live gig. A lot of the tracks have been made in hotel rooms in response to shows, ‘Imperial Crescent’ is named after a Japanese Hotel, as is ‘Belvedere’ in Prague, while some tracks such as ‘Hyper Daddy’ were created specifically to play live.

Drums are confidently at the fore here and the album feels like it traces Mike's musical history and interests neatly around his sweetly nostalgic melodies, with atmospheres and structures which twist and turn with a charming softness which contrasts with the tension in the drums. Take ‘Hyper Daddy’s’ spiralling notes and twinkling piano which remind one of early Black Dog or Omni Trio rushing alongside splashy jungle drums, or the aquatic acid footwork of the title track with its drums softly bubbling and kicking. Elsewhere there's territory which harks back to his Tusken Raiders pseudonym, like the heads down Drexciyan funk of ‘Windsor Safari Park,’ which transforms from moody electro into a sunny hardcore track midway. The album is interspersed with Reticulum A, B and C at the start middle and end of the album which suggest a theme which carries across the music in an effortless and joyful way. ‘Grush’ is a strong album that works both for listening and DJing and a great snapshot of where Mike Paradinas musical head is at in 2024.

released June 14, 2024

very interesting, I wonder if the difference is due to the Pixel 8 Pro having a variable refresh rate screen, maybe also because it has a higher resolution screen and different graphic drivers

but with Chrome being about 10x more efficient on P8P than P4a, I'm guessing the variable refresh rate is a big factor there that Firefox isn't using as optimally

[-] Die4Ever@programming.dev 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Also the moderation tools could've been Java and connect to the Lemmy database/API (maybe with some pull requests to add to Lemmy's API), which to me sounds a lot better than saying fuck it and rewriting everything, it could've lived in its own repo anyways

[-] Die4Ever@programming.dev 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I think this is a pretty big problem with how people are using Lemmy in general

https://lemmyverse.net/communities shows 27,726 communities

https://join-lemmy.org/instances says Lemmy has 42.2k monthly active users (as of v0.19.0 that's including people who only vote and don't post/comment)

I just think that's way too many communities to be sustainable, people jumped on Lemmy and tried to create a community to match every subreddit, and then they did it on multiple different instances too.

I'm not sure how to improve this. You could delete communities but then you lose post history and subscribers. You could close communities and make a pinned post, but then they clutter search results and they definitely look dead, because they are. There could maybe be a new Lemmy feature added to merge a community into another one (moving the posts over and then deleting the old community) but that would have complications with subscribers on other instances.

Scaled: Like hot, but gives a boost to less active communities

go to https://voyager.lemmy.ml/ to test it out, they need help finding bugs anyways

[-] Die4Ever@programming.dev 11 points 2 years ago

Yep it is fixed, I tested it with your comment lol. This is something that annoyed me too

[-] Die4Ever@programming.dev 11 points 3 years ago

so many good alternative frontends exist

don't forget the mobile apps are frontends too, which shows how flexible we can be while keeping the backend intact
