On the array sort…that is clever but it doesn’t return those values to something you can use; it just sorts them on screen. I respect the cleverness, but yeah, not useful.
Hey, is there any chance it might make sense to slow down the rate at which loops are posted?
I really enjoy seeing them on my feed, but if I’m subbed to the loops comm it just floods literally everything else and every other post is a loop with a vertical thumbnail twice the height of other posts. Edit: just checked and it’s actually several loops for every other post 😅
If it’s not something that makes sense for the comm that’s fine, I just wanted to ask :) engagement seems like it might also be a bit higher with a more limited selection of posts
I think that would help a lot! There are just so many of them in quick succession that it’s really easy for them to drown out all the other stuff I’m subscribed to
Thanks for the work you do running this community and posting stuff for folks, it’s appreciated :)
It feels better to me, on my feed I’m seeing a couple loops bunched together, and then a fair number of other posts in between those bunches, so it feels much less like my feed is being drowned out
I think the real solution to this problem would be some sort algorithms that do a better job of prioritizing small communities, and that don’t allow one comm to drown out others if it’s really active, but short of that, your change seems to have helped :)
Thank you so much for being receptive to my thoughts! I really appreciate the work you do that contributes to lemmy being a place worth going ❤️

This is not the reason it isn’t useful. The function could just as easily modify an array as print; you could also keep a list (or an atomic integer if that functionality is available) of which have been sorted and spin until it shows that every member has been sorted. Taking n milliseconds to sort an array whose highest element is n, with the cost of all of the thunks, plus the potential for a (very rare) race condition… not so great.
Regardless, I’d hire either of these programmers if there weren’t red flags elsewhere.
Good news: The Loops embed feature has moved to beta.

Nice!

Hope you have a lovely day :)
Thanks for the feedback! Would it help if I used something like schedule.lemmings.world to spread the posts out over the day?

I’m trying out Lemmy Schedule, how has the frequency been with that?
