I wonder why… :P

That’s odd, I can see it just fine.

May be because of the PEGI 18? Maybe you have some option to hide apps rated 18?

Which is odd in and of itself, though. Why is the app rated “extreme violence”?

The thing about the universal link is that it can be used by people from different instances as well, while the link provided by Summit won’t work for people outside the original instance of the community.

Maybe having it as an option would be useful?

The other user already solved your question, so I’m just gonna inform you (in case you don’t know) that you can change your “home” screen to be the subscription page.

To do that, go to the “subscribed” or “All subscribed” page, tap the red square with the three white dots in the bottom right corner of the screen, and “set as homepage”.

Welcome back! :)

idunnololz’s Sencha-posting is a staple of everyone’s Lemmy experience at this point :D

You can change that from the settings -> Posts feed -> Post appearance -> Prefer image at the end

Have you tried playing with the settings in Posts feed -> Post appearance? I use “compact” view and I don’t need to scroll far at all. You can also set a line limit for “Full” view.

Ooh, that’s so lovely! I can’t wait to try it when it releases.

No problem. The app’s been out for a while now and the developer is very active, so there are a lot of customisation options that have been added over time which I’d suggest looking into if you want to fine-tune your experience. Although admittedly they’ve become so many that it’s sometimes difficult to find them, especially if you don’t know they are there at all lol

Also, if you don’t like long-tapping, when you are in a community page you can tap on the three dots in the bottom right to bring up the menu and subscribe/unsubscribe from there. It’s still a 2-tap solution but maybe you’ll find it more up to your taste?

Can I get a down button in the comments to the next comment thread so I don’t have to scroll?

In case you don’t know, there’s an option to use the volume button to do this. It’s in “Posts and comments” -> “Use volume button navigation”.

Ooh, I feel dumb. I was tapping “Open link”, didn’t notice that the “tap to open in app” was itself tappable.

Thank you a bunch!

Hi, can I ask you what was done to tackle this request?

Support opening instance links in-app. Eg. https://ttrpg.network/

I just noticed that it’s marked as “complete”, but if I click on the same link provided in the example, I’m still asked to open the link in the external browser. Is it an option somewhere that I need to toggle on?

I use Fossify Clock and I’m having the same problem.

Robert Silverberg’s “The man in the maze” is a cool science-fiction book based on the Greek play Philoctetes. Iirc it’s a very short story (maybe about one or two hundred pages), I don’t remember the exact length but I recall reading it in one sitting. It is a very character-driver story where the “maze” itself is an allegory about mankind, isolation and disability, but it is very much enjoyable as a casual read as well.

The protagonist (“man in the maze”) is an astronaut who has been somehow cursed to always radiate its emotions in such a way that others, even his family, find repulsive, so he self-exiles to a remote and long-dead planet to live the rest of his life in isolation. But when an alien species makes hostile contact with humans, he is needed again, as his “curse” is the only way to properly communicate with them and maybe convince them that humans are sentient beings and thus their equals.

Oversexualization. Panty shots, ass shots, boob physics, the same old jokes from the ‘80s about a guy “accidentally” groping a woman, guys peeping into a girls’ space, suggestive poses, barely-disguised fetishes (included, but not limited to, harems, incest and pedophilia).

It got to the point where a friend would recommend an anime, I’d watch it, and walk away halfway through the first or second episode because it was just unbearable. Friends would tell me to turn a blind eye, but why the fuck should I put up with sexualizing minors in a show? I’d rather spend my time doing something that doesn’t make me feel sick.

It also attracts the wrong kind of audience. Since the medium is so keen to produce oversexualized content, that’s all people look for and talk about. Any anime discussion thread degenerates into gross memes about “flat is justice”, “twincest is wincest”, people patting each other in the shoulder while calling the other “man of culture” for sharing their kinks, and shit like that. It’s so extenuating that, back when I was interested in the medium, I still actively refrained from interacting with fellow fans because I felt grossed out by them. Fun fact, I had a female classmate back in highschool who was interested in anime, and I thought that I could find common grounds with her, but no, it was the same thing, just reversed (she would only watch anime with sexualised boys).

The medium also forgot what its name stands for. I haven’t seen “animation” in “anime” in years. It’s just still frames and more still frames and whenever there’s an action sequence, the characters will constantly interrupt them to explain or think about the thing that I’m already watching and needs no explanation, or having flashback sequences, because it’s cheaper to animate. The fact that Ghost in the Shell and Akira from thirty years ago had better and more fluid animation than the shit they produce now is just sad.

Oh boy. Just one?

I guess I’d go with “signing up to a random online forum back in 2012”.

I was a very shy and introverted kid back then, without friends or social life to speak of. I would spend all my time playing videogames and reading books.

That online forum gave me a chance to speak to other people while staying “safe” in my shell. Without realising it, I slowly gained confidence and social skills that helped me make friends both online and irl, some of whom I still speak with to to this day. Thanks to one of the people I knew on that forum, I now have a job that I like.

I wouldn’t recommend online forums nowadays to fight depression/lack of social skills, as the internet has become a cesspool. Online chats are breeding grounds for political extremists. But in my case it definitely helped.

A close second would be having a girl in college confessing to me. I had never really thought about my sexuality back then: it just wasn’t on my mind, like, ever (which should’ve been a red flag, but whatever). She was really nice and wasn’t pushy at all, but I knew that I couldn’t leave her hanging forever, and I had to give her an honest answer in a relatively short time.

Well, long story short, I realized I wasn’t straight. At first I thought I was bi, then gay, but a few years later I understood that I am ace (again, should’ve been obvious by the fact that I literally never thought about sex for the entirety of my teenage years, but I’m dumb).

But seriously, there are so many important moments in one’s life, it’s difficult to choose only one or two. Watching nature documentaries with my brother as a kid turned me into a huge animal lover, to the point that I’m literally unable to kill a fly because it makes me sick. Thanks bro, those are some of my most treasured memories!

The brothers Grimm for me. I don’t see many people discussing it online, but I enjoyed it. That scene where the horse eats a kid is still distressing to me years later.

I recently bought a Jabra Elite 2 for €60. They have great sound quality and active noise canceling. I also recommend them.

I’ve always used headphones though, so I don’t have experience with other earbuds to compare them to the competition.
