It definitely helps me. It isn’t perfect, but it’s a night and day difference

TIL. Thank you! (Now I will ssh into all my VPSes and set this up!)

(cool username btw)

Made the switch 4 years ago. No regrets.

“Only” 58, all of them topics of hyperfocus forgotten after a couple of weeks.

GPT-4 is much better at summarizing (or at everything):

Moderators from r/blind and other communities had a meeting with Reddit representatives on June 16, 2023, to discuss accessibility issues on the platform. The moderators expressed concerns that Reddit’s current focus is on improving accessibility for users, not moderators, and lacks clear timelines for accessibility improvements in moderation tools. They also noted that Reddit seemed unaware of the reliance on third-party apps due to Reddit’s own tools’ lack of accessibility.

Moreover, concerns were raised about Reddit’s unwillingness to share details about the qualifications of their employees tasked with accessibility, the specifics of their previously performed accessibility audit, and the definition of their term “accessibility-focused app.” Reddit’s lack of full-time employees working on accessibility was another worry.

Although Reddit seems to be acknowledging and planning to fix known accessibility issues, the lack of knowledge about what they aren’t aware of was disheartening for the moderators. They expressed their frustration over unanswered questions, and emphasized the need for accessible tools to effectively moderate their communities. They remain open to continued dialogue with Reddit to promote a more accessible platform.

Oh definitely. I’ve been on a continuous Lemmy/kbin binge since Friday. This place is way more enjoyable than reddit because:

• Your voice matters. People actually upvote and reply!
• There is no karma! One less thing to obsess over (though you can see how many posts/comments a user has made).
• The content is much more interesting and reminiscent of the early days of Reddit.
• Maybe I’m too nerdy but I like how clean the site is.
• There is absolutely zero commercial interest across the entire lemmyverse and it’s awesome. You can talk to actual people and have fun!
• It feels magical that there are all these different Lemmy and kbin servers and you can see people from 10 instances talking to each other in the same thread.

Well, there’s this place:

• link for kbinauts: New Communities
• link for lemmings: New Communities

My new community got quite a few subscribers from there. Just make sure to post relative links using both the Lemmy and kbin routes (/c/ and /m/).

EDIT: oh, I almost forgot, there actually is a site for community discovery: Lemmy Browser. I don’t think it currently lists kbin communities but we could ask them to (or if it’s open source, someone could implement it).

Yes, I’ve also experienced this. I called it “reminder inflation” but alarm fatigue is a much better term!

Due for the iPhone is excellent. It’s a reminder app that nags you every five minutes until you get The Thing™ done. Before I started using it, I had a problem with forgetting reminders once they appeared. This never happens anymore and I actually manage to get some things done!
