Weeeeiiiiird, I’d be curious what happened with his accout

Anyone else suddenly getting Reddit followers? I’ve yet to purge my account, and my account, which has no real activity, is suddenly getting an influx of followers. wth is going on over there? lol

I do like the idea of making x-posting nice and easy so we can hit several communities of similar topic at once

I think it does send the request the first time you click, but it takes a while to get a response from another server. Try it with some communities that are local to your server and you’ll notice it’s not so much an issue. I’m not a Dev and not am authority on the topic, but I think it puts your request into a queue, this helps make sure that your request makes it to the requested server in the case that one of those servers is temporarily down for maintenance or updates.

What I think needs to happen is just to provide a visual response to indicate that your request is sent and awaiting a response, which doesn’t usually happen until you click it a second time.

Basically it’s the concept that AI becomes “sentient”, has it’s own motives, and ability to learn

For some reason, I thought it was interchangeable terminology, I’m glad to understand better now. I could see a lot of P2P’s forgoing encryption then, since presumably you’re not hopping over any other devices or networks.

Aaaah, got it, thank you so much for clearing that up for me. I apologize for my incorrect message then. From these comments, I’m inclined to say Matrix remains OP’s best option.

Thank you for educating me! 😊

Ah, and P2P would have no middle man doing the hand-off?

I apologize, I was thinking End-to-End. Though would someone mind enlightening me to the difference? Is is just multi-client support? Or that there can be a broker in between?

Also, to everyone currently roasting me, here is what I was referencing

Amazing how every prediction the Reddit community has made re: this situation has been coming true. They called this well before the blackouts began.

Matrix is great, Element has a really nice UI for it. Signal also does work without a phone number, in fact it doesn’t really work for SMS anymore. Signal provides P2P for any communications with another Signal user. Matrix supports P2P as long as you set it up (encrypt a channel) and I think DM’s are P2P

Edit: So Matrix is cool, End to End, NOT P2P, and probably the right decision for OP.

In your profile settings is a way to set the default. Some users have reported a visual bug where when you go back to the main page it will say that you have a different sorting method selected, but the results of the page should still reflect what you’ve set as your default. We’re all Alpha Testers for Lemmy :)

Apparently it’s just a visual thing, whatever you’ve set your profile to in the browser extends to your Jerboa app.
