Hey @ernest, I noticed that the new comment markers are rather hard to see on some themes. They work perfectly on the Tokyo Night theme, but did you test them on others? This is how it looks for me using the Dark theme. I also tried the Light theme with the same issue.
edit: Forgot to mention, I did turn off all my userscripts and custom css.
Ahh, okay I see what you mean now. Interesting. It actually makes page loads slightly slower on my old-ass Chromebook (but that's on me; this machine is a few years out of support for updates).
I wonder if this is better or worse for server performance, though.
This may be more noticeable on weaker internet connections. There is also browser-side caching, so it may not work perfectly everywhere. Currently, this is an experimental version. For the server, it's marginally better, but there are no significant differences, is more about the user experience.
I would definitely say that my experience on Kbin has been the closest to a “whole new Internet“ experience that I’ve had in quite some time. The interplay between the microblogging and forum side of things has been very interesting for me to wrap my head around. It’s actually been pretty fun.
@ernest The thing that's different from email for social media is moderation, which is why the host matters. Also, for both email and social media, the host matters for other reasons: you don't want someone who's going to lose all your email by going out of business suddenly, or who has poor uptime, etc etc.
Saying "the host doesn't matter" caused a lot of people to bounce off the Fediverse when they first tried it, because they wound up on hosts with terrible or no moderation.
Hey Ernest, thanks for the hard work. I just wanted to mention that I think comment wrapping is still a little broken on mobile. It separates by color, but indentation doesn't exist and it's pretty difficult to figure out who is responding to who in a crowded thread. Example photo attached.
All things considered though, a relatively minor issue. But one I'd like to see addressed (especially if the effort is being made now to introduce / fix comment wrapping.)
If there's a better place to report bugs than here please let me know.
Jokes aside, will this deployment process perhaps open up the possibility for beta testers? I think you've mentioned before that you have an experimental fork that you use for testing. I'd love to help out in that process.
Hey, I'll let you know when the test environments are fully ready. Currently, I'm using it more for reading logs of communication between instances. But I want to do it more thoroughly soon. Thanks!
I think they're specifically wondering if using @<username>@<instance> mention syntax will result in a notification popping up for the user on Lemmy.
I've been wondering that too (in the context of threads though) -- and if it does work, are there limitations regarding visibility between instances that people should be aware of. e.g. what happens if I @ someone in a post to a community on a lemmy server that is defederated from their home instance? Or, in a community that no one on their home server has subscribed to? Will they still get a notice?
I guess I don't really have a good mental model for how @ works on the Fediverse.
I will verify it thoroughly tomorrow, and if there is any issue on the /kbin side, I will have some free time to fix it. I'm almost certain that it used to work correctly in the past.
Are there any plans for the feed to always show new posts that you haven't seen yet, just like the reddit feed?
I mean, every time I open the "hot" section, for example, I see the same posts that are trending, even when I've already seen them before. It'd be nice to be able to see only content I didn't saw yet, so people will be always receiving new content and raising their interest and engagement :)
EDIT: I'm not complaining about the experience, just making a suggestion and I wanna thank you (as always) for your awesome work with /kbin! It's for sure my favorite social network!
