    Can we please stop censoring words? It’s just amazing how much damage has been done by platforms to people in this respect.

      I’ve started taking censored posts like this and emphatically uncensoring them so the naughty words are even more prominent.

      I posted it in another comment.

      It’s why my iPhone sucks, censoring the most basic swears and auto correcting my cursing. What’s worse is you can even use words like “die “ anymore.

        You can setup auto completion rules to change words like ducking to fucking. What’s hilarious tho is when you actually intend to write something like ducking.

          • It learns a bit as you type. But if you want it to forcibly recognize a word go to settings > general > keyboard > text replacement and add the words it won’t recognize. You can even add a shortcut for common typos. But it will hard override any “well you touched the edge of this key but I think you actually meant this” so use the shortcuts carefully.

          Yea. Even got mine to easily type „fuck“ when using swipe-typing… You just have to be persistent for a little while

        You need to tap on the word in quotes in the upper left of the keyboard before you hit space to train the autocorrect on a word you intentionally typed.

      Not unless we stop reposting content from other social media which would make Lemmy even more dead than it already is.

        lemmy is quite alive. Source: this post has 22 comments by the time of me writing this already.

            I am fairly confident, that there is more content on lemmy right now, than a person can sift through.

            If there is more than about a dozen comments under a post, i rarely read all of them.

              yeah i think it’s more about the quality than the quantity

              like, there can be a thousand comments but all of them pointless, which is what happens when your social media platform only tries to grow in user numbers. we should strive for quality over quantity, i think.

                Nah, just the “active” algorithm is shit in Lemmy. Try other sorts. I promise the feed will change. Not as much as I’d like, but it does change.

                  …I do. But the majority of the communities I subscribe to (and I have found multiple iterations across different instances) are not very active. Their reddit counterparts are.

                  You can stop trying to reject my experiences with your nonsense to make yourself look right. You’re not.

                    I’m not rejecting your experience but pointing out the fact that other sorts are far more active.

                    It’s not my or Lemmy’s shortcoming that there aren’t as many bots users posting on a platform that is MUCH newer and specifically in competition with the long-standing one, and your shitty attitude is going to produce the opposite result that you want.

        Make sure to switch up how you look at posts and you’ll see that it is more alive than you think. Active seems the most dead which is default, but I still check it. I go by hot, active, 6 hours and scaled, in that order.
