It’s been almost 27 years since the first Austin Powers movie and the world still doesn’t have any sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads.
Normal people: Serling. Although it’s often understandably confused with ‘Sterling’ as that’s a more familiar word and sounds very similar.
Idiots: No, no, no, I am from a parallel universe.
I still remember how annoyed I was when reddit disabled that. It was a useful data point, especially in hobby communities or other places where it can be difficult for newbies to judge the quality of advice/answers they’re receiving so I was thrilled to see it here on Lemmy. Going by upvotes alone is not always showing you an accurate picture of a community’s reaction to a comment.
None of which work anymore.
Edit: Again, downvoting me doesn’t make you any less wrong.
As of July 12th, 2023, Libreddit is currently not operational as Reddit’s API changes, that were designed to kill third-party apps and content scrapers who don’t pay large fees, went into effect. Read the full announcement here.

None of those work anymore after the API changes. Which is the entire point of my original comment.

Yes, and third party clients, specifically alternate web UIs are not available on Reddit.
Third party client support. Specifically alternate web UI’s focused on desktop like Alexandrite because if I’m being honest here, I think the comment nesting in Lemmy’s offical web UI lacks enough distinction to be useful on desktop (its clearly optimized for mobile browsers). Following conversations can be frustrating on desktop. Without Alexandrite I’d most likely be a mobile app (Voyager) user only.
Edit: No, third party web front ends for reddit do not work anymore. Remember those pesky API changes that went into effect in July and were the entire reason the majority of us are on lemmy now? Yeah, that didn’t just kill off third party mobile apps.
You can now select the lemmy account you want to comment with directly from the new comment dialog
Between this and the recent addition of double tapping the profile button to launch the account switcher Voyager is now well above all other Lemmy apps I’ve tried for iOS. Thank you for the hard work and happy holidays!
I have it enabled, it’s a very useful feature. One of the main things I was looking for in a Lemmy app to duplicate my old Apollo experience.
They turned me into a newt.
Cowardice. People that think they need a gun on them at all times are paranoid cowards… Which also makes them the last people who should be able to own a gun.

I’d rather limit defederation unless it’s about something very clearcut
Alien.top is a spam instance. This is as “clearcut” a reason to defederate as it gets.

Agreed, screw the jackass running that instance. If I wanted to see the front page of reddit I’d go to reddit. They aren’t helping Lemmy grow, they’re just a spammer.
