  • I’m not entirely sure this is what you’re after, but “reddit” makes it a lot easier to fix software issues, at least with Windows. Regular search engines are SEO’d to death or you get the Microsoft forums where a “experienced expert” suggests steps OP already performed to then recommend a full system wipe.

    I wish Lemmy had this trove of info and I try to put solutions on here as they are asked, but it will take time

    I tag people that never fail to find something to argue about, obvious trolls, bad faith / sea lion conversationalists and so on. If I encounter them again and they show the same behaviour as a pattern, I fully block them.

    I also use it for more fun stuff, like who is overly helpful, friendly or who recommended a good book. This way, if I see them again I get reminded of the positive interaction from before`

    edit: @[email protected] you might want to replace “tag” with “label” or something, people think you mean username @tagging and don’t read the body of your post







  • But 0 upvotes divided by any age is still 0. So Hot = 0, and Scaled would then be 0 divided by community size, and therefore also still 0.

    On hot, I guess you managed to open it with the exact same second?

    It was in response to “Scaled is like Hot”, so I wasn’t looking at the Hot page at that moment, but I tried to convey how it doesn’t make sense that a post with 0 upvotes get to the top of Scaled






  • Do yourself a favor and starting blocking users (bots) and communities you will never be interested in. After a while, your feed starts getting a lot cleaner and more interesting.

    The internet is too noisy to read everything, so tailor the content to stuff you will engage with for a happier experience!

    edit: oh you said “not logged in”, which might mean that you already blocked the bot on your account. Still, the advice stands for anyone reading along
