I see a textbox saying “What do you want to see from Mozilla in the future?” You could add it there, as justification for why you want them to focus less on it

There is a text box part way through, I included my more general thoughts there

(my comment was getting rambly)

I went back to your previous post and saw that you’re seeing the same issue on desktop and mobile, which makes me lean towards the browser extension issue. Try one of the apps, or try booting Firefox in troubleshoot mode?

Same as the other person that commented on your original post a few hours ago, I’m not able to replicate your issue. A lot of people are using the instance and I haven’t seen mention of the sorting issue, so I suspect it might be something with your browser / extensions setup.

You’re free to comment how you feel, especially because it sounds like the experience hasn’t been that great for you, but I still feel that people here are happy to help you troubleshoot. :)

Some other steps you can try:

• See if you can sort on one of the apps, that would narrow down the issue to the web UI: https://www.lemmyapps.com/
• See if you have the same issue on one of the other instances. I suspect it would be the same on all instances running this version of Lemmy (0.19.5). There is a new version of Lemmy out, but a lot of instances seem to be waiting a few days in case it introduced any issues.
• Some browsers have a troubleshoot mode, which can tell you if one of your extensions or themes is causing the issue: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems#w_3-restart-firefox-in-troubleshoot-mode

Woah that looks cool!

Specific to generative AI, I think client side generation can be a good thing, such as sentiment analysis or better word suggestions/autocomplete.

A number of other helpful tasks have negative outcomes, but if someone is going to use it, then I prefer they use the version of the tech that minimizes those negative outcomes. Whether Mozilla should be focussing on building that is a different matter though

AI that isn’t generative AI has a lot of positive uses, but usually that’s not what these discussions are about

Very detailed review, thanks!

I’ll look into that, thanks!

I actually sent a bunch of prompts through image generators till it gave something close to what I wanted

Using generative AI to try and visualize generative AI

It sounds like some weird ritual that someone scratched into a notebook.

Yup, and if you find that it’s still not enough then you can add more friction.

For example, if there is a certain subreddit that you go to a lot and don’t want to, block that subreddit at the browser level.

You could block the entire website, but you don’t want to get into the habit of unblocking things (ex. If you need to access a post with some resource, after coming across it when searching). Better to block what you need to block, instead of overdoing it.

Other changes:

• old.reddit
• uBlock origin to block parts of a site
• disabling subreddit themes
• extensions such as this (unless there is a more up to date version: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/minimal-internet-experience/ )

Are they moving to Mastodon?

With some of these organizations, it might be helpful if locals would contact them asking if they would make a mastodon account. It’s easier to have them make both during a transition, instead of a few months into using bluesky

Thanks! That seems to be the consistent recommendation

Thanks for looking into that! I’ve edited the post (and the other meme post) with Drip as the recommendation, and I included your points :)

Oh that’s what I was remembering! Aunt Irma

Very cool, and thank you for taking the time to make such a detailed post!

Drip seems to be the leading recommendation. I’ve edited the post with it so people seeing the meme also get the recommendation :)

We should definitely be telling more people about F-Droid, but let’s not get our hopes up

Accessibility (not being on FDroid only) was one of the things I was looking for when looking for recommendations. Thankfully the leading recommendation is on Google Play & iOS App Store :) I have edited the post above with more details

If you are using any Synology products with your setup, you should go ahead and apply the recommended updates

Dear men I need you to go download an app called “Flo” and start using it chaotically. Don’t ask anyone how to use it. Just use it. The more, the better. Let’s Christmas tree that data.
