  • Looking forward to the community visibility feature.

    There are bots on Lemmy that duplicate posts from sources like Reddit. They usually post into special locked communities on dedicated instances (such as lemmit.online). Most instances have banned these bots to avoid flooding the local feed with high-volume bot reposts. And this makes perfect sense.

    But with the ability to unlist a community, we probably won’t need to ban such bots and can instead ask their authors to unlist those automated communities. This way, people who want to occasionally read posts from niche Reddit communities can still access them without hurting proper Lemmy growth.









  • I had the GameSir X2 back in the day. I really liked the aesthetic, but passthrough charging didn’t work with the PinePhone, and it also didn’t work at all with my Google Nexus (an old phone). Later, I switched to the Backbone One, and it worked perfectly with all the devices I had. So good drivers are important. But that was quite some time ago - I’m pretty sure many things have improved on the GameSir side. Later I sold both and switched to a dedicated device.

    I’d watch a recent video from Russ about phone controllers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYElqO7EdXo He mentions the Taco one, it indeed looks cute 🙂
