Don’t feel the need to “fit in with the crowd”. Individuality is more fun anyways.

There’s the setting „Show read posts“ which can be disabled to hide already read and/or up-/downvoted posts.

I looked into this on GitHub and this will be fixed when the switch away from WebSockets will be completed (soon^tm)

I get this falling feeling very regularly, like nearly night. You get used to it and now it’s like an indicator for me that I’m about to fall asleep.

Interesting, how did they solve it?

Bring good noise cancelling headphones, good for crying babies (both adults and children) and the constant noise of the engines.

Yes that docker-compose will start all the things needed.

Yeah I would create a copy of an existing or the default theme, of course you can also use the Bootstrap Theme builder linked there but I have never used it myself before so I don’t know how well that’s gonna work.

I just created a pull request yesterday for lemmy-ui and to comfortably work on the frontend you would also have to setup the database and the backend („lemmy“) on your development machine.

Mind you they provide docker containers for the backend so it’s not so hard to get it all running so you can start playing with the UI.

Let’s not kid ourselves UI/UX needs a lot of work not just a little, but it’s making progress and all done by volunteers and that’s impressive on it’s own.

Probably, I don’t know much about Mastodon so I can’t say what will work on that side. But as long as you make sure that it isn’t the first line by itself or not in the first altogether it will probably be fine from the lemmy perspective.

Yes you can but you have to change the post a bit so it displays well on lemmy. The first line is taken as the title so currently your post is just named „@asklemmy“.

I once accidentally looked at a mirror

I wanted to add that feature today and discovered that it was already present in the latest version of the code on the 0.17 branch. So it will be probably be available soon.
