formerly u/therealjaluvshuskies on reddit :)

  • Very fair and reasonable points. That's interesting to know about the dev, I had no idea! It's gotta be a shit load of work. I look forward to seeing where it goes from here

  • Someone else had suggested Connect, I'm using it rn and I adore it. Will be using this in the meantime, but I still want to give Jeroba and other apps a chance! I'm mostly eagerly awaiting Boost for Lemmy, though, since that's what I used for reddit

  • Just wanted to update you, Connect feels fantastic and I absolutely love the UI/UX. Thanks again for the recommendation!

    I still want to give all the other apps a chance tho, don't think I'm ditching Jeroba quite yet :)

  • Yeah I feel like I've had this for like 1-2 weeks intermittently. I'll try out Connect in the meantime. Thanks!!

  • I'll try that and see if it improves. No idea why I didn't consider trying that first lol

    Thanks!

  • That might explain it then. Thanks for the resource!

  • Jerboa @lemmy.ml

    Has Jeroba not been working really for anyone else?

  • Oh I had no idea! That sounds really nice. I don't really know what front end means exactly, but is a good comparison betterdiscord vs. discord?

    Also you mention that it never talks to twitter, but I'm curious does it still pull data from twitter? Like your account and who you follow

  • I had no idea about this and haven't heard of it before. Thanks for the info!

    Is Nitter just the twitter of the fediverse? I can't subscribe to real-debrid's Nitter content, on Lemmy, can I?

  • Seconded! Upvoting seems slow, that's the only thing I noticed

  • I completely agree. It makes sense that AI is not good at determining truth vs fiction. I think it's more important for us as users to just search for information on our own, then determine the "end answer" with our own judgement after reviewing different sources and experiences (taking each individual answer with a grain of salt)

    That's why, I personally think AI search engine won't be the best all-rounder for all types of information that's not niche, deep searching which is IMO better found on forum-like platforms where people (enthusiasts) share sources, their experiences, what worked, what didn't work, and why. For AI, maybe just simple bland information, like an excel formula, or how to hot wire a car, is better

  • Asklemmy @lemmy.ml

    What's your thoughts on AI generated search engines compared to other ways to find information?

  • Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ @lemmy.dbzer0.com

    Streamio + RD users - what are you favorite add-ons?

  • I completely understand and respect your opinion, but I just disagree on a personal level - and I think there is a very valid compromise to still achieve this, by redirection. It would obviously suck a lot for people who just want to find information, so they can still get it. Just take them away from reddit

    Like most of us probably, I exclusively used reddit for finding information about literally anything. Google search algorithm is straight hot garbage it's embarrassing lol

    If we want other non-corporate owned thread-like platforms to be successful and for reddit to "not get away with this" I personally think this has to be done. Otherwise it's just still a free database of information that we as the users provided for free, and reddit will continue to profit off of. It's my personal stance on it, but I think it's not right, and I believe the extreme majority of people either won't or won't know how to use reddit as a search engine without giving them profits

    My solution is to rewrite all of my comments, but for anything that I provided a solution for (or guide), I will redirect them to the same information, but not on reddit. For example, I wrote a full blown returning player guide (like 18 pages) for the game Vindictus, so I'm moving it to google docs. I will inform the discord, in addition to linking the google doc on the reddit OP, and possibly also reference a Lemmy post, give insightful information, etc

    Most of my comments though are just discussions though, not many fixes or solutions. So that's what I'm planning on doing

  • Reddit Migration @kbin.social

    What did you guys replace your reddit comments with?
