lemmy.ml is down right now. You’re going to have to wait until it’s back up to ask them - this question/answer is just local to lemm.ee until it comes back up and can appropriately federate.

Do you have ‘hide read posts’ checked in your profile? That option hides your own posts, too, because naturally you’ve read them.
How do you think Meta and other similar companies attract advertisers? They sell ad space to them with the ability to highly target ads to their users.
That’s what I mean by sell - they are literally letting advertisers buy ads to target to all of the people who they’ve gotten information about that would most likely click on and convert to buyers. Non-targeted ads are significantly less valuable from an advertising standpoint because if they don’t apply to you, you’re more likely to ignore it and the advertiser is getting less money back on their ad purchase investment.
I love how you say ‘almost every app’ and then your three examples include two Meta apps and also Twitter. Their whole business models are to gather as much as possible to sell.
Not every app needs your health data, financial information, and usage data to send short messages to their friends. I get wanting a certain amount of data in order to do certain things but needing basically everything possible frankly SHOULD BE eye opening to people if they didn’t already know.
I mean, did anyone think it wasn’t basically spyware?
Funnily enough, it scales correctly in traverse for me but not in search. It’s not terrible, but it’s a little wonky.
I have mine in stage manager windows and even with it not being priority right now for the devs it’s still mostly excellent, which I find pleasantly surprising.
Swipe commands.
Left to right is up/downvote, right is comment/reply.
When you’re trying to find a community, in the search type in the whole URL. So for your example you should be able to make the instance find the community by typing in https://hobbit.world/c/hobbit_art in search all.
Like so:
I have a lemm.ee account and a lemmy.world account. They are exactly the same as far as subscriptions go, my feed remains essentially the same, they’re just for when one has server issues, goes down for maintenance, or is laggy I have another with the same feed to keep my experience pretty much the same.
Swipe commands.
Left to right for upvote/downvote. Right to left to comment.
They have added buttons in beta, so buttons will be coming to the App Store version soon, but the app uses swipe commands currently.
When you refresh your feed after switching to your other username, it doesn’t refresh with posts from your changed profile?
If they could integrate that development into making Siri better, that’d be great.
