We all need to move on from this, including myself. We know Reddit’s business practice. If we don’t like it help make the fediverse better. Having said that your posts will be scrapped over here to the benefit of nobody so is that better? At least on Reddit you have the option of owning their stock.
I just came in here, looking for these exact questions and was about to post them when I saw this thread
Marking posts as read also sync to the server? I know this was an issue in the past because it couldn’t be done as a batch? I know I posted some thing about this topic along time ago, and that was the answer.
I am also looking forward to doing community specific searches.
The only thing holding me back is finding a way to only view new posts.
Yeah I got you. I guess I agree with you. For something current and local Twitter was your best bet. I just think it’s much more about consumption than getting anybody’s voice heard. This is especially true of X. The platform is there mainly for people with an existing large audience to get their message amplified. It’s not there to get the smartest or most interesting voices heard.
Reddit has always been much better at building community than twitter. Twitter has always been about getting somebody voice propagated. To a huge extent the louder and more belligerent you are twitter will help amplify your message because it’s in twitters financial interest. It’s not even remotely like a public square that it loves to compare itself with.
Both X and Reddit have lost my interest. I really liked Reddit but X was and is for people that like to be told what to think.
Mine is from January 2006 and I am very tempted to delete everything and nuke the thing.
Yes not seeing read seems pointless without this option.
Oh, that would explain why other apps such as Bean and Avery become unresponsive if I scroll a lot of unread posts. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I would have no problem with implementing this locally until lemmy has a solution at the API level. If those read marks could be in iCloud, that would be a bonus.
I can’t even remember the last time I launched the app.
Why is stupidity like this even reported as news?
Well, we’re gonna start teaching kids about the different types of power sources and their pros and cons, I sure hope we starts pushing more education about nuclear.
I prefer it that way. Let kids do their own research. They are just putting out a point of view in that video that is not crazy. I can only talk to that one video. I think this entire thread just highlights how talking about serious topics in forums like these is impossible. Most posts are not about the issue at hand. They mostly are about claiming the other side is evil.
As a point of view, I don’t see anything objectionable in that video to expose kids to. It does seem to have an underlying sales pitch, but so does most of the videos I’ve seen on green energy. 
Instead of discussing this at such an abstract level, Does anybody have a link to the actual material to form an informed option?
I believe this is closely related to how we manage numerous communities that focus on the same topic. It’s likely that many of these communities have little to no activity. Eventually, I suspect Lemmy will face a real problem with this given no cross community/instance admin role.
Yup, I remember Reddit had something like this. 
I suspect all social networks will need to federate eventually. Just like aol had to let the internet in or fade into irrelevance. I hope it’s something more like nostr then the Fediverse but I see this as inevitable.
This can play out in other ways. Search platforms start indexing open platforms and more links start making reference to these platforms.
I don’t really care if content I create is used to train LLMs, but I do object to Reddit monetizing the content I placed on their platform. Without somehow rewarding me for that content. I’d rather just post it here and let the LLMs train on it and let the value accumulate to the LLMs. I do think there’s a greater good for humanity. And just because I say something intelligent or unintelligent, I see that as a gift to the greater good of society. I did not create that gift as a benefit to Reddit shareholders but having said all this I’m realistic, and the best thing I can do is try to keep the value I add within open platforms like this one.
