  • The ‘Web App’ is basically a friendly way of saying the browser instance is not only mobile friendly but can be saved as such. If you have chrome or Firefox on your phone:

    1. go to your Lemmy home page,
    2. hit the dots to the side of the search bar to open the menu and look for and option that says something along the lines of “save as app”
    3. your browser will create a ‘shortcut’ on your home screen with a Lemmy icon that is essentially a web app tab of Lemmy.

    This is what I use. I also have Jerboa but it’s broken right now as I’m on an older version of Lemmy that’s incompatible. I also have Connect but it’s still in very early stages, and while it looks nice it’s borderline unusable at the moment.

    Before we picked up my collie, we ran through a list of names we loved, (black and white collie with freckles on his white stripe on his face, and brown sandy legs) and had a hot list of selects from ‘Patches O Hoolahan’ ‘Stomp’ ‘Gary’ ‘Dusty’ and a bunch of others.

    As I picked the little guy up, I said “Hey buddy!”. His names Buddy.

    My brother’s Cats name is Uni (Japanese for sea urchin) because shes pointy on the outside and soft in the middle. His other cat is ‘Maki’ because it’s a black Siamese cross with with a white face.



  • I saw your comment in the wild, and it seemed pretty obvious considering the context and the references to North Korea, so I don’t think it was necessary.

    Having said that, the tag helps when tone of voice is missing in text, and for people with autism who may struggle to pick up on the clues, so it is a useful tag to avoid confusion. Use if you feel it’s necessary. Edits work in other instances when needed.






  • Well yes and no. I think the point is to avoid 500 arbitrary half dead Cat communities, or to help users find there niche for their town or interest so you aren’t left with multiple dead communities reposting questions all over the place hoping to find the community with the answer by sheer dunb luck while also thinking that Lemmy is dead.

    Finding out that the official photography sub lives on glasgow.xyz is a big ask. So maybe it would be a good start to keep things fractured but allow an easy way to group them into a feed like the way multis work. Looking at my subscribed list is a horror show right now and I shudder to think of the infighting when three growing communities butt heads trying to spam each other’s users to grow there own. If I can organise my coms into categories and folders that would be a start. Maybe creating feeds by tag? And subscribing to tags?
