I mean have they seen how good Ice Cubes and Mlem look? How can they choose the default Twitter and Reddit apps over those masterpieces.

    And then there’s issues that would never be written down, or change too often even if they were, to be kept updated. e.g. all the database corruption issues that have been going on for months at programming.dev, see !meta@programming.dev for details.

    It got fixed yesterday, FYI.

      It looks like the site has gone down 3 times in the last week. I hope this effort fixes its former issues:-).

      If so, will it now be part of your recommendations? I note that it hasn’t defederated from lemmygrad.ml - see e.g. this post. Plus it’s themed, though the former is a bigger turnoff for me to want to recommend it even to someone interested primarily in posts about that topic area.

        lemmygrad isnt defederated from but many of their communities are hidden from the feeds by default (so you dont see them unless you subscribe to them)

        same thing for some other instances like lemmynsfw

        ones that are more recent wont be hidden since I havent been able to due to the issues but I should be doing another hiding round soon

          Thank you for explaining that! And also putting in the effort to create that space for your users.
