  • Thank you for the positive feedback! 🙏

    One thing I’ve been missing in Mlem (the app I’ve settled on for now) is the fact that comments and posts only show the sum of up/downvotes rather than displaying them individually.

    I can certainly explore making individual upvote/downvote numbers visible. Not shown in these screenshots, but there is also an additional context menu (long-press a post or comment) which reveals these stats. But I will make a note to explore making this user configurable from the feed / post views 👍

    Also, is the app free/open source? You mentioned a private GitHub repo in a different comment, but do you plan to open it up when you feel confident in the code?

    I’m a bit on the fence here. I am a solo developer working on this in my free time, after work and on weekends. My dream has always been to work on my own apps full time similar to Christian Selig did with Apollo for reddit. The app will be free, but may have a “premium” tier for extra functionality. I haven’t decided if I want to open-source or not, but currently it is closed.

    I will say that I’m an Admin on the lemm.ee lemmy instance, so I have a vested interest in both upholding my personal reputation, and in making Lemmy the best experience it can be (hopefully via Lemon!) but I completely understand and respect anyone who dislikes or distrusts close sourced software. That’s a completely fair and valid stance to have.








  • Hey there!

    I’m not opposed to a megathread per-se, but it does feel like we’d be doing more good by focusing that energy on improving the docs and keeping those as the central source of truth. PR’s are always open/welcome.

    Happy to revisit this if there is a strong demand for a megathread, but in general I don’t feel like we have enough content flowing through this community just yet to justify it.






  • I think a big part of it is that when we are young, all of these are new experiences to us. And as such, they carry a lot more emotion and stimulation.

    As an adult, you’ve experienced many things. To some degree, your brain is likely acustomed to it.

    Something that helps is breaking out of your routines and experiencing new things. I’ve heard our neural pathways described as the grooves that form on a hill when sledding. When you first slide down the hill, you’re making brand new grooves. Each trip is different and unique. But over time, trails get established and you end up using the same worn trails over and over.

    Experiencing new, bespoke things is like breaking out of the trails and making a new one.

    At least, that’s my understanding! I’m not a proffessional, just someone who can relate to what you’re describing :)
