Is there any way to get ad free without a subscription? I was happy to buy a paid version of the app before, but an ongoing subscription isn't really what I want.

Edit: it is not advertised as much as Ultra, but there is a one off payment option to remove ads, in the sidebar. Which I purchased!

Anything that references prosecco. See: "Come in if you have Prosecco" doormats.

I wasn't expecting to, but the official reddit app was worse than I expected, you can't sort by 'hot' anymore so it is literally not as interesting to look at. I haven't used it since the switch over and I don't miss it.

This isn't a meme

It's gonna be heavily moderated and anything negative will be removed, probably.

Depends on the city. In my city, you could walk across the whole thing in maybe an hour, and anything major the furthest you would have to walk is about 30 minutes.

Here it looks like the link is added when you make the comment, and the it is added directly to the formatting. I'm guessing you're using an app or some other client to access Lemmy? On reddit, it just recognises the "/r/" and places the link on the front end.

Remember when the Oculus first came out, and people said in a few years that VR would get cheaper? Those people didn't anticipate Apple.

Is it possible to make Lemmy (the system as a whole) able to be compatible with horizontally scaling instances? I don't see why an instance has to be confined to one server, and this would allow for very large instances that can scale to meet demand.

Edit: just seen your other comment https://lemmy.ml/comment/453391

Are you a Lemmy dev or just vocal here and on github?

Downvoting is just used as a disagree button, not for its original purpose of promoting discourse and hiding comments that don't add to the conversation.

Any comments that add to the conversation get upvotes. Any that don't, can be reported and removed. I prefer it that way.

I'm sure you know this, but getting progressively larger servers is not the only way, why not scale horizontally?

I say this as someone with next to no idea how Lemmy works.

 

This thought entered my mind today as I came across a thread on Quora, and noticed that they have added a feature where ChatGPT would have a go at answering the question.

Today alone I have used a few varying "AI" tools, including one which automatically paraphrases text for you, one which analyses your writing in SwiftKey as you type, and of course the big players like Bard and Bing Chat. It got me thinking about whether these features are actually valuable, and if we would start to see them on this platform.
