Get out of my mind!

Pretty sure it’s possible or there are other options. But you’d probably had to invest a lot of work and time to make it work.

For most people it isn’t worth the effort, which I understand.

No way, it’s definitely video games. Much easier to blame than to actually change stuff. /s

Meh… just another reason added to a looong list about why I never looked back after switching to Linux, back when Vista was introduced.

Other than this workaround, I don’t know. Maybe contact the admins of your instance and see if they know a way of fixing it.

It’s a known bug or at least it happens often.

Interacting with the community like upvoting something, clicking “create a post” and returning can fix this most of the time. I’d assume it will be fixed with the next update.

Yeah, devs like these have the perfect kind of experience considering UI/UX developement to get this done well.

I think it’ll take some time until these apps become that andvanced. Most lemmy apps are in a pretty early stage of developement and still highly WIP.

Some third party reddit apps seem to be planning on moving to lemmy, so maybe we’ll see something better coming around the corner in the near future.

Better a weak filter than none at all, I guess. They’re not some multi-billion dollar corporation with the means to assign a lot of funds for spam mitigation.

This.

It’s like that with many instances. They ask you to fill out a form, answer questions or something similar to make sure you’re not some spam-bot. That’s it.

That’s the only reason I’ve used it for in the past. Following news agencies and NGOs.

Now it works the same way with mastodon.

Good to know.

To nowhere. It may take some time getting used to not watching my favorite content creators, but I think I’ll manage just fine. I’d rather not use youtube-ish sites at all instead of being forced to watch ads every few minutes.

Funny. They can try. I’m not as dependant on their platform as they wish-think. I’ll find other ways or other platforms.
