It’s nice here, but a bit under-federated. Other @Deebsters are available.

  • I think part of the problem is that even when you’re subscribed to the small communities, it’s easy to miss the posts. Sorting by Scaled helps a little, but I still often find a post from days ago that I missed.

    I’d like an option where you could “super subscribe” or something which makes those posts show up first, or even in the inbox.

    I’m surprised you say you don’t know what the 😭 face means, since it’s just exaggerated crying. Is it because they’re too small, or that you suspect there’s some implied agreement/subtext you’re not party to?

    I can see why people wouldn’t know what something like 🍆 is used to represent, since it’s not for the intended (I assume…) use.




  • I’m another Kagi fan - after customising it a little it’s just so good, and I haven’t even played with features like lenses.

    I really like the custom bang searches (e.g. I could make !ks gravity search on simple Wikipedia), especially on mobile since Firefox Android doesn’t support the normal browser quicksearches (where you set a keyword for each search).

    After a glance at others’ answers, it’s the same thing: the trend away from skeuomorphism.

    I always think about the time I discovered an Android area was horizontally scrollable - with no scrollbars to clue me in, it was only the fact that the icon I wanted wasn’t there that prompted me to discover the secret. I’m a software dev, if it’s unintuitive even to me, how do non-technical people stand a chance?






  • I’m a massive fan of skeuomorphic design, and Windows 98 was just so intuitive and practical. Things you could drag looked like you could move them, that bumpy texture thing was used in places it wasn’t obvious already, and 3D made clickable things look like buttons.

    I’m a software developer and power user, and Android surprised me by having a horizontally scrollable area with absolutely no indication other than the visible items didn’t include something I was expecting to find.
