  • It’s less of trying to do “days” and more just a 24 hour period of any given day. Syncing isn’t necessary as we can all just sit down for a few minutes on a singular device to get a gist of our needs and what our day is like. The calendars I’m used to usually are great for different events for different days but this is just more of a sleep, work, chores, etc in a day and what times they’re available. I’ll edit in some images in the upload to explain more what I’m looking for.

    As someone who doesn’t enjoy megathreads, is it just because people don’t want to see multiple articles in their feed? I’ve seen megathreads

    • get abused by mods (mass deletion of anything even loosely related),
    • user engagement is buried (100 comments in 10 different articles is better than just 500 comments in a megathread to me),
    • and it’s harder to see updates/new happenings without constantly checking back in for edits.

    Mod megathread’s also seems like an overreach of moderator’s role. They are now in the driver seat of a pinned, mega popular post and it goes to their head (I’ve been in communities before where they just start blanketing megathreads for anything that’s gaining traction and squash even legitimate posts). They now also have added workload onto themselves by having to curate even further what gets posted at their discretion (and competing with their own post).


  • it’s quite crazy the contrast between .world, .ml, and .today. I kinda like it because if the lemmyverse does grow it means I can still keep to smaller instances and not feel overwhelmed like with Reddit. The only thing I don’t enjoy is not knowing if people can see my replies or comments since there was no point in wasting my time posting if it’s blocked for some strange reason.
