Good! But it definitely didn't back when I implemented it in Thunder half a year ago.

And the way I want it to work is the way it did in Relay. The button dismisses currently loaded read posts, but scrolling further will still load in read posts, and refreshing brings them all back.

They don't get permanently hidden, nor do you need to untoggle a setting to see them again next time you refresh.

Is that how Voyager does it?

I don't use sync. I installed it to check out whether it had that feature I wanted.

It does, but I'm sticking with Thunder.

So it does! I didn't find it when I tried it, I guess.

But if one doesn't want to pay to rid Sync of ads, Thunder is an open source, free, actively developed alternative. It's still not feature complete, but I've been happily using it since I hopped over from reddit. And contributed a good few features myself, like user and community sidebars.

The next update will include my work on an indicator that shows if and how many new comments a post you've already visited has received since you last opened it (like in the webUI). And some other guys on the team have gotten notifications implemented.

ATM, you can't. Normal mastodon posts are not understood by lemmy servers. They don't know how to handle content that is not associated with a community.

Most of the fediverse is like twitter. Users making posts to their own "microblogs"/profiles, following each other or browsing a timeline of all posts by everyone. That's mastodon, and it has by far the most activity.

Lemmy doesn't support profile posts, and you can't follow users, only communities.

Basically, all content on Lemmy is posted to groups, while all content on Mastodon is posted to the users own profiles. While the networks are technically connected, the content type is not compatible.

I hear mastodon is getting support for groups, though, which might be something that can be interoperable with lemmy communities. Then they could look at communities as if they were user groups, and post to them, and we could sub to mastodon user groups, and see their posts and feeds as if they were communities.

But until Lemmy implements support for "user" posts and "user" following, we won't see the majority of content of that type, coming from mastodon.

There's already some funky interoperability that comes from the underlying structure of communities kind of being user accounts, where mastodon users can follow Lemmy communities, and post to communities by mentioning them. But it's not pretty.

If you liked Relay, try Thunder. It has the dismiss read feature that made Relay my go-to. It's the only app I've seen that has it, maybe because I joined the dev team to add it.

The word knockoff inherently comes with the meaning of something being made with less effort, with lower quality results.

A well made imitation of the good stuff, means we get to enjoy more of the stuff. Calling something a knockoff is only warranted when the copy is bad, and not worth indulging.

And we can't know until it's available to play.

I remember the discourse before Automata actually came out, and how people saw 2B and thought the game couldn't possibly have merit beyond being horny.

But look at its cult status, today.

What makes it a Nier knockoff?

That it's a hack n slash with a sexy girl? Wouldn't Nier be a Bayonetta knockoff, then?

Or if you ignore the sexy girl, a DMC knockoff?

We are. Snow Car is obviously out now. But the rally car is coming in April. Canyon car in July.

Don't be fooled, they just want to mooch a lunch off you cuz they spent their allowance on instruments!

A system of religious veneration and devotion directed towards a particular figure or object.

All religions are cults.

That there exist congregations that aren't actively being taken advantage of, or doing evil shit, doesn't mean people living their lives believing things that aren't real and making choices based on that belief, are harmless.

You can be the kindest soul on earth, but if you believe stabbing someone in the heart helps them, you might still do it.

Believers do that type of shit all the time, like words spoken while meaning well, but doing harm. They look at reality through the distorting lens of faith, they can't ever truly see it. There is a fatal disconnect between perception and reality.

They thank God instead of their doctor, they tell their depressed children to consult Jesus when they need medication, they feel crushed by bad luck because it can't just be bad luck, everything is god's plan, meaning they feel they deserve it.

Religion adds so many tiny twists to reality, and every single one hurts someone. Both the believer and those around them. If you haven't seen it happen, you're the exception, not the rule.

Basically this.

I don't like mergers but holy fuck Activision/Blizzard had to go. That that POS Kotick got away with a golden parachute while pulling every dirty trick that unluckier cronies have pulled once and gotten cancelled, is a travesty.

Getting acquired is just about the only way something that big "dies". Activision swore many times they'd change, but it was never gonna happen. Too many wore rose tinted glasses and forgave them because of what Blizzard once was, dismissing what it had become.

Microsoft has been good to its subsidiary studios in recent years, but eventually it too will have to be dealt with in some form. My preferred method would be hitting it with the "monopoly-break-up-stick" again.

Would be quite something if PS6 turns out to be just a hdmi streaming dongle with controllers.

But sony PC ports are still taking years to arrive after their PS releases, and I can't imagine everyone being able to stream games for the same reason everyone can't download them.

Especially not in countries like the US, which have areas with absolutely atrocious internet infrastructure. I would expect them to embrace PC further, if this is their course...

Official PC support for PSVR someday? PC ports of PSVR titles?
