btw, you wanted cue not queue, as in cue cards, that's my cue, cue the music.
Are you saying you think it's ridiculous to end support "already"?
I think it's likely that anyone still using 486s isn't updating software anyway, so it's unlikely to matter aside from niches like retro devices. Luckily, open source means that if there's a genuine desire there'll probably be a fork to provide it.
Thanks, I knew I'd seen it before somewhere.
Nothing dates it more than the reference to Boing Boing.
Then the UK's equally dumb: it was 10:04 pm BST (GMT+1) cos daylight savings is a thing in most of Europe too. At least it's synchronised across Europe^[The EU is planning on killing daylight savings but I have no idea if the UK will do the sensible thing and go along when/if this happens] so you just need to remember that most^[thanks for making it more confusing, Mexico] of North America changes a few weeks earlier.
Also, the UK says GMT/BST which is nice and clear - calling both EST and EDT "Eastern Time" makes even more of a mess!
And yes, I've just rediscovered you can use footnotes, why do you ask?
The duplicate content thing is kinda impossible to solve perfectly. Some people will tell you it's a feature, and it can be interesting to see the different instances' comment sections (especially after moderation), but yeah it can be annoying to have your feed dominated by a few stories.
The default web front-end will merge crossposts, but won't if they're multiple posts to the same URL. I think some of the apps do have that deduplication as a feature, but I couldn't tell you which.
I remember the same problem from my Reddit days, but there wasn't generally so many similar, overlapping communities.
From the Lemmy docs:
- Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time
- Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published
My default is set to
- Scaled: Like hot, but gives a boost to less active communities
This is the newest sorting option, I think, and it helps me not miss posts from the smaller comms - particularly ones where people are asking a question and there's been no engagement. Ideally I'd like to have Mastodon-style lists so I could have "quiet comms" or something and check them all every so often.
I will switch to new or top 6h/24h if I've been on recently and just want to see what's fresh. Top all time or 1y if I'm looking at new-to-me comms so I can see what type of thing to expect from it.
There's no algorithm here*, so use the different sorting options (for both posts and comments), as well as setting your favourite as default once you see what works for you.
* the different sort options are of course algorithms, but I mean there's no automatic, manipulative system like YouTube's "The Algorithm", Facebook, TikTok, etc.
Voting doesn't tune your algorithm, so I'd say only use downvoting for things that are low quality, trolling, in the wrong sub, duplicate posts, etc. Your votes aren't private, by the way - although Lemmy itself doesn't display voters' names, that info is in every server's database, and some other software in the Fediverse does show them.
There are quite a few apps available, I like Voyager on Android and I stick to the default website on my computer.
I think scaled is better than hot otherwise you'll never see anything from your small communities.

[Cueball is holding a pointer and gesturing towards a whiteboard that shows the chemical formulas HCOOH and CH₃COOH. Below these, respectively, are classic diagramatic representations of formic/methanoic acid [with an apparently accidental doubled bond between the carbon and the hydroxy group] and acetic/ethanoic acid; being, in turn, a single- and double-carbon chain molecule with a double-bonded oxygen (carbonyl group) plus an oxygen-hydrogen (hydroxy) upon one carbon of each, to form the full carboxyl grouping, and hydrogens completing all other expected bonds.]
Cueball: The two simplest carboxylic acids are hakoo and chuckoo.

Bacon is a Rust code checker designed for minimal interaction, allowing users to run it alongside their editor to receive real-time notifications about warnings, errors, or test failures (I like having it show clippy's hints).
It prioritizes displaying errors before warnings, making it easier to identify critical issues without excessive scrolling.
Screenshot (from an old version I think):
v3 adds support for cargo-nextest, plus some QoL improvements.

I'm guessing by the recipes you mean Southern USA. I thought okra was from somewhere in Asia, but Wikipedia tells me it's from East Africa (Ethiopia, Eritrea and "East Sudan" - which is kinda funny as there's a Sudan and South Sudan).
