Is the bus purple now or something?
Nah, I’m just pointing out dumb things you’re saying. You’re right that it’s pointless, though, as no one else is going to read this far down the comment chain and it’d also be obvious enough to them. And we sure know at this point that you’re incapable of doing anything but doubling down, so trying to point out the ridiculousness of the things you’re saying will just fly over your head.
Lol that you think the majority of conservatives don’t think trans people should live. I mean, the ultra-right fascist conservatives, sure, but most conservatives just don’t agree with people doing certain things. They aren’t about to taking a flamethrower to every member of the LGBT community they come across. Have you ever even had a face-to-face conversation with someone you disagree with in real life?
You know, my favorite thing about Lemmy showing both upvotes and downvotes is that not only do we see that a lot of people disagree with you, but more specifically that, since you’re the only one upvoting yourself, literally everyone else can tell that you’re wrong.
You know it’s not that hard to just admit that you were wrong. It was an easy mistake to make, so just admit it and move on. Realize that you can learn and improve. Doubling down just to make yourself seem more like an idiot is never the answer. Everyone is capable of being stupid and making mistakes, but it’s the real idiots who are incapable of learning from them.

Ah, so I see English isn’t your first language?
Yeah, for sure. I’m not sure I really mind that, though. It’s also not super crazy to get a basic handle on, so if it becomes popular enough, more people will be willing to try to figure it out. I also imagine that the developers working on it will try to find more intuitive ways for users to get started.
I don’t really care too much about the mainstream coming here, though. Part of the appeal of the Fediverse, I feel, is that it’s got that kind of “underground” vibe to it. We are out of the mainstream, but there are still people around, discussion is happening, content is being created. It has a fresh and unique feel to it.
This is a great idea! Hopefully it pans out.
True, good to know. Will this still display communities from that instance that haven’t been “discovered” by members of Lemmy.world yet?
protip, if you search for an community and it says “no results found”, the act of searching actually adds it to your instance. Just refresh the page and it’ll show up.
Oh interesting. Thanks!
I do already know how to do that, but I’m mainly wondering about being able to view an entire other instance’s community list. I mean, yeah, I guess I can work around that, and that is what I’ve been doing, but it’s just a little clunky to have to go to another instance logged out, copy the url, and then go back in through my own instance. There’s really no other way?
I get that, and it could make sense to archive things at some point, but I do think it was nice for certain communities, aside from things like sports, news, etc., to be able to still comment on old posts. Especially help posts or things like that, because they could still be relevant months or even years later.
The only thing they did do relatively recently that I liked was adding the option for subs to not archive posts that are older than 6 months. But I guess when you think about it, that’s more of just taking a restriction away, and less of adding something new. Other than that, though, it’s either just useless stuff or stuff that actively made things worse.
I’m liking it a lot. I think it will get even better once more people show up. It’s kind of cool to be part of pioneering this experience, though. I do feel like this is going to grow into something substantial.
I’m on my computer, so that doesn’t work quite as well.
You have to set it up like this, where you do [link name](actual url) in [] and () next to each other just like that. Obviously, you can make the link name whatever you want, it’s just the url that matters.
If I just directly type [Memes@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.world/c/memes@lemmy.ml), I get:
Testing comment edits.
Edit 1: <1 minute?
Edit 2: Ah ok, so it shows edits immediately, unlike the 3 minute window reddit gives you. Good to know.
Oh, thanks! I found it and changed it.
I also realize now that I had gone to lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld, and that’s why I hadn’t noticed it before. I didn’t even realize there was a difference, lol.
Ah yes, I see I’m stupid now. Haha, didn’t even look there because I was assuming the lemmy.world page would only have posts posted directly there, but that does make a lot of sense! Thanks! Now that I’m getting a feel for things, this really isn’t that different from reddit. It’s just a lot smaller and not controlled by corporate greed.
They actually do exist.

It’ll probably take a little while for them to populate and become active, though.
Same. Not sure what’s happening there.
