Sometimes I want to find something, like an image that I have shared previously (for ease of reuse but also to reduce the load on the servers to not have to store it multiple times), and so I'll want to search comments (not posts) by sth like Top Month or Top Week, but ofc cannot:-(. So instead like a chump I just go through them one by one until I find what I wanted... It's annoying to visually see those options provided, yet they do not function as you would expect. So indeed, they need to do a lot of work on the search functions:-).
But this is a thought for the interim:-).
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
This URL seems to work for new: https://lemmy.world/search?type=Posts&listingType=All&page=1&sort=New, so until they fix it in the UI you could bookmark that?
I imagine they will do a lot of work on the search feature at some point.
I just changed my default sort from Hot to New and then back again - so those two values for that option definitely work. If you are using some third-party client to access Lemmy, I cannot say the same for it - perhaps it has a bug? But most places on Lemmy I've been have these in their settings and they work - the issue is on your end.
Which is empowering bc you can play around with a bunch of different things and find a way that will work, rather than have to wait on the devs to decide to help or not:-).
e.g. you could bookmark this link: https://lemmy.world/?dataType=Post&sort=New. Speaking of, perhaps your bookmark to access Lemmy has a similar setting, but for Hot and that is overriding your default choice? Or after you set the default, are you certain that it is saving properly?
Anyway, I hope I gave you some interesting ideas to check up on:-).
He got bitten by a radioactive spider and now he's... in pain. Get some medical care little guy:-).
N-n-no, you got it all wrong, see, I was looking for work, y-y-yeah that's it!
And now many people work from home, in like pajamas or equivalent. Personal toilet, snacks, that's the life! :-)
I think it probably depends on the person and whether they would be okay with it or not? Like is it silly such as "Bish pulease", whereas I've never once heard someone call someone else like a "cunt" (UK, and I guess Australia?) and had it be any kind of okay. But rap culture seems to have redeemed bitch... maybe, for some people?
Edit: as always, it's the consent that makes all the difference.
Nowadays kids parent the previous generation so I'm not entirely certain that things are "better". Probably yes in some ways, worse in others:-|.
I have seen social media described as "microblogging", but I don't think that's true. Or rather, actual blogs like on WordPress are one thing, but the more "conversation" style is something else entirely. Phrases such as "^This", "I also choose this guy's wife", "and my axe" reveal that the true purpose of social media is emotional venting, rather than conveyance of information. For some people at least - and depending on moderation practices and abilities, and on communities setting up expectations, the level of discourse may be either higher or lower, but even so, foundationally, isn't that what this place is for?
After all, Wikipedia articles are one thing, essays and poetry are another, blogs are still another (with the level of effort being put into their crafting), and finally at the lowest end, social media is found where we just blurt out whatever we are thinking about at any given moment.
Mind you, it can be done well - I have had people convince me of my privilege status & thus shepherd me into wokeness even on Facebook, which is not known for such - but even so, isn't the true purpose of a thing what it mostly does? Like a vehicle isn't a coffee holder, despite it being capable of that, as well as many other things.
Some people's thoughts are just more worth listening to than others. Hence why microblogging e.g. Twitter/X & Mastodon can aim at a higher end, as too can Reddit & Lemmy/K/Mbin (+ soon: Sublinks), but it seems rarely used for its maximum purpose and far more often for its emotive vomit aka "share every single one of our uncurated thoughts". Case in point: my message right here, which unlike a "blog post" took me <5 minutes to create.:-P
Btw, check out https://medium.com/@max.p.schlienger/the-cargo-cult-of-the-ennui-engine-890c541cebcb for an example of what I would consider a more worthwhile post. Sometimes, imho, it is okay to aim for more quality than quantity of posts, even if that seems antithetical to the goal of "social media" that aims instead to connect people together to just shoot the shit amongst ourselves.
This is when you would respond "Bitch, I said what I said" (Doja Cat, Paint the Town Red), right?! Hrmm.... me neither:-P.
And clothing that lasts for ~~more than~~ at least one year, sheesh!
But were people allowed to say "bitch" back then? Truly we have advanced in so many ways!:-)
