I can implement support for pictures, but the price will be $1 per picture.
😀 Tom
I personally don't mind that price, but I have no pictures that I want to post. I like the text-only aspect of the site too. I feel like adding pictures might just make Subreply look more like Twitter or Facebook.

My account's still here, the grass is green, Elon bought twitter. Now I don't know what to feel about the last one but I just wish everything's for the better there. He should've realized that troll farms can easily purchase his new $8 Twitter Blue idea to make their replies more impactful lol

I don't have much of an opinion on the whole Twitter issue as I personally only use it as some kind of elaborate news feed and the bubble I ended up in is very niche and not really political.

Nice! Do you work as a web dev? I'm stuck with Windows, we're a .Net Framework shop.

I was working as a computational neuroscientist back then, primarily using Python and MATLAB. However, in the 2 years and 5 weeks since I last replied, things have changed quite a bit! I'm now working as a machine learning research engineer, and I'm forced to use macOS at work now. (At least it's Unix!) We're a Python shop, although I end up writing quite a bit of Java and even a little JavaScript sometimes. On the bright side, my personal Arch Linux machines are still going strong, and I've even added a few more to the herd!

I'm an idiot. So a while back I figured out how to get my Windows and Ubuntu partitions to share the same Bluetooth mouse without repairing it each time (the instructions online did not work), and now that I re-installed Ubuntu, I forgot how exactly I did it. I could have just copied the config, but I didn't think to. Here's to another X hours trying to figure it out again :-/
🐸 Simon
This happened to me so many times! Losing all my config after messing up my Linux install, I've become paranoid and now just keep up a personal wiki with all my ultra specific config so I don't have to tweak stuff and dig up old StackOverflow topics for hours. Good luck brother

Hey subreply! I've been looking for a simple alternative to twitter, and I think this just might be it. This community feels slow, but thoughtful and personal. Better than the hecticness that is most of the internet

You're not the only one. Paul for example on 0xff.nu/social-net... wants something simpler than Subreply. I don't know how that can be possible while remaining usable.

Working in the covid-19 crisis unit, more and more people are getting infected within our personal environment. We're just enough healthy personnel left to keep up the work and are preparing for a 'working-lockdown', meaning that we don't leave the base and build shower containers and beds to rotate in a 24/7 shift system. The impacts are getting closer.

Reminds me of the mistake I made when I renamed Sublevel to Sub.Cafe. Paying for a premium domain isn't ideal. Also, scaling is an issue for media rich sites.
😀 Tom
One issue I do have with that site, well maybe two, is that it's very cluttered and I don't like the design. Fixing the design and making it cleaner could fix the clutter. The one issue I have with Subreply that hey.cafe does better with, is the continuity of the replies. I don't like how on Subreply they are all broken up, and you can't read all the text of what's being replied to. I guess another thing I'm not sure about the other site, is having different cafes for things. I guess I'm more interested in personal conversations than a mini-reddit.

Just fyi, from an employer: If you have no work history from about May 2020 - September 2021, you look like a lazy who sat on the sidelines while the majority of us worked our butts off. Gives off a bad impression. Probably better to make something up for those dates..

Let's do it. This weekend I will try to merge threads and replies in a single feed and do the same for profiles. Discover is the most visited page.

I'm pessimistic. It's probably already too late, too much money and lobbying involved. Governments are corrupted to the core. They maybe are already starting to build the IT to connect banks with the medical networks centralizing health records. They will block your accounts and steal your money in few years if you don't take your two or three shots or whatever they have signed for with big pharna...

I'm starting college in a few months. Does anyone here have advice for anything?
😃 Javier
Some experience a culture shock in the dorms or the classroom. Expectations are high and unknown. Lectures may sound familiar or unfamiliar. If I had to go back I would take better care of my time management and clear, concise and attainable academic and personal goals. I would not be afraid to say no if comes down to do things that I clearly don't like.

I want to add social links to profiles. What other social networks do you use?
🤖 Seirdy
Fediverse (Mastodon, Pleroma, etc), personal website, lobste.rs, Hacker News, Teddit, and some others. I'd say that arbitrary key-value fields on profiles would be better; one column can be the name of the platform while the other an be a URL, similar to what most Fediverse sites do.

Are you talking about the Local feed? That doesn't solve the problem of trying to have a conversation with people on your instance only to have some troll from shitposter.club or neckbeard.xyz jump in. Mastodon provides public, unlisted, followers-only, and direct--but not local-only, and unlisted isn't an adequate substitute because unlisted toots are still accessible from the open web.
🐢 Keb
Ah yes, I see what you're saying. Although I think that's one of federation's greatest strengths -- I personally have not experienced trolls derailing conversations, but I reckon that can be an issue on any large enough community. Mastodon and Pleroma can definitely find better ways to help isolate users that want to be isolated.

I am starting to think that any new microblog should have federation support at this point. There's too many social networks; things are too fragmented. It's definitely nice having a small community of likeminded folks, but the paradox is that every community in its early stage wants *more* users until the point where old users reminisce of the good old days when the site had "personality", and then leave to another smaller community.

They said the same thing about app distribution. We have both systems: package managers and app stores.
🤘 Matthew
I disagree. Federation is one of the reasons Mastodon/Pleroma are unpleasant; it contributes to context collapse and makes it harder to compartmentalize across forums. If I'm on server X, I don't want to hear from anybody on servers Y and Z (or see their untagged loli porn or alt-reich memes). If I wanted to interact with people on servers Y and Z, I'd create accounts there.
