An article about how they compare https://chrisdown.name/2026/03/24/zswap-vs-zram-when-to-use-what.html
I agree with you, but this isn't really anyone's fault. It's fine that OP didn't like the movie and posted about it, it's fine that people upvoted it, and it's fine that people in the comments also didn't like the movie.
But the frequency of the negativity is just too high. This post has too many upvotes relative to other posts, there's more negative comments in here than like every other post in the first page of !movies@lemmy.world combined (although part of it is this comment chain lol)
We just need to cool it a bit, go out of our way to post about stuff we like even if it's old, but more importantly we need people to upvote and comment on the positive stuff!
just because something is in all doesn’t mean everybody has to emote negatively on it
Lemmy v1.0 will allow communities disabling downvotes for non-subscribed users, which I think is a huge improvement because of this issue
This is why I kinda wish there were more types of reactions. If you could sort by heart reactions, you'd get a way more positive feed. Or imagine if you could hide posts that had too many angry face reactions. @rimu@piefed.social that sounds up your alley lol, hiding/dimming posts based on negative reaction emojis.
PieFed can put arbitrary reactions on posts but you can't sort/filter by them, and too many choices of emojis means they'll never group together well. Maybe Catodon can do it? But to be honest it won't get critical mass unless Lemmy supports it.
yea, absolutely DO NOT combine Zram with regular swap, in fact don't combine any different types of swap, they don't mix
don't use Zram, use Zswap
You're right, "show all comments" is definitely fixed now
EDIT: except maybe when you hit "show all comments" and then reply to one of those comments it doesn't update the display immediately, it requires a refresh
Did you know about !quake@lemmy.world ?
thank you! just installed it
Communities show where else the same community exists on other instances, with their activity, and in Lemmy 1.0 you can combine them into one multicommunity
Very cool, I tried this out and it works really well, good job with the UX.
Rare crossover with !spooky_memes@lemmy.world
The ugliest vehicle I've ever seen, good riddance
your links to the quokk.au communities don't work
can you just use the !communityid@instance.com format?
I've tried both [Lemmy and PieFed], and the UX is incredibly unintuitive and unpleasant. The main problem is that it's quite hard to discover content you want while avoiding content you don't, Bluesky at least has really good custom feeds that are easy to add (the default feed sucks). Another big issue is the general site layout, it's hard to figure out how to do things as simple as saving a post for later or how to go back to the feed without being redirected back to the post I'm trying to exit.
Maybe they didn't see the "Feeds" feature in PieFed? The top navigation menus in PieFed are a bit messy. Although shareable blocklists could be cool too, or maybe toxic?
That's excluding the horrible lack of contrast most frontends use, which makes reading and parsing the site elements unnecessarily difficult (no Lemmy, grey text on a grey background is not good for readability).
I like the Lemmy colors, but maybe it should be easier to change, because they might like the darkly-pureblack theme.
Fediverse feels slower, but not in a good way. More of a ‘if I don’t use this for a week, I’ll see new things’. If I log in after 2 or 3 days, I’ll scroll for 10 minutes and see the stuff I saw last time.
Maybe this is a UX issue of not finding the right feed they would like.
I've tried using lemmy and have exactly the same issue. After blocking all the politics stuff, left wing meme stuff and tankie stuff there's bugger all remaining. Even with all the blocks I've made it just seems to be a bunch of toxic left wing people calling each other fascist because of some minor difference in opinion.
I also want nsfw stuff now and then. I hate how censored the internet has become, at least with reddit if I want to see a bit of porn, I can.
Again maybe a UX issue of not presenting what communities they could subscribe to.
I tried twice to join those forums within the Fediverse and I can't get past the captcha test. The fact that you need approval to validate your access doesn't seem designed to encourage you to recommend it.
The captchas on Lemmy are AWFUL, I can't do them either.
(that's the "Medium" difficulty)
Lemmy v1.0 is adding the ability to do invites, so maybe there will be an invite-only instance that gets some momentum, that could be cool. Invite sites seems like a cool old-internet type of culture.
The fediverse stuff is way too complicated for me, Reddit is very easily accessible and actually has active communities for the topics I'm interested in.
Of course these are naturally going to be all negative because they're users that bounced off the Threadiverse, but there's probably hints to what can be improved
