Using the Sync app (on Android anyway), you can hit the settings button while browsing posts, and under settings there’s an option right there to hide read posts.
On the web, if you click on your username in the top right and go to settings, there is an option “show read posts”. By default I think this is turned on - uncheck the box to turn it off. For a while, this wasn’t working, but it seems to have been fixed along the way.
Oh that’s really a bummer :-(
What about making a free onlyfans or fansly where someone could “tip” to donate? You wouldn’t have to actually put up any content.
Hahaha! I have used this username (here and on reddit) for years, and you are the first person to call that out. Excellent!
First and foremost - thank you for everything you do running lemmynsfw. You’re doing an amazing job and I, for one, appreciate it tremendously.
Re: downvotes, I still believe that downvotes open only to community members is the way to go, but I appreciate you’re doing what you feel is best and if you think it’s genuinely improving things to turn them off entirely, you do what you need to do. I’m willing to be convinced, I truly am, but I haven’t been yet. That said, I found a workaround to my biggest problem with it - hiding read posts without voting - so I don’t have to upvote things I don’t like just to make them go away. With that in place, I can live with it. At the end of the day, I just want to be able to browse without seeing the same posts more than once.
Re: donations, it’s truly a shame that you haven’t been able to set something up. I was here right at the beginning, and I was a very early donor, because I truly believe that Lemmy needs a dedicated place for NSFW content, I want lemmynsfw (and Lemmy as a whole) to succeed, and I understand how much it costs to host such a place. So I’d be very happy to donate again if you can find a channel. That said, I don’t want to have to do so using some sort of cryptocurrency. Not only because, like Lemmy itself, it’s not quite there yet in terms of usability, but also because (unlike Lemmy), at the end of the day I find the entire crypto world to be very scammy and shady, rampant with bad actors. Not to mention that Trocador app you linked to elsewhere doesn’t seem to handle setting up monthly recurring donations, which is what I’d like to do.
My suggestion would be to investigate Epoch as a payment processor. I have joined multiple porn sites in the past, and they’ve all used Epoch for their billing, and at least I personally have never had a problem. They seem on the up-and-up to me (but again, I said investigate - please do your own due diligence). What I don’t know is if they handle one-time donations, or if they just do monthly billing.
Re: Gallery, I’ll be honest I’m not that interested in new UI’s for Lemmy. The default UI + TamperMonkey scripts (LemmyTools + Lemmy Keyboard Navigation) work great for me and pretty much reproduce old.reddit on PC, and Sync took me all of 2 or 3 days to adjust to on Android and now I’m cool with it. I think it’s wonderful you want to keep contributing to the Lemmy universe, and it’s awesome you found someone to help, but just speaking for myself, I’d view this one as pretty low priority.
Once again, thank you. You invest so much time and energy here it’s crazy. Hope you get the donation channel issue worked out very soon, so I can start contributing again.
Thanks, came back to this post to see if there were updates. I just got refunded today and was very confused. I do appreciate what you are doing and think there needs to be a place for NSFW content in the fediverse, and I’m happy to contribute a little bit monthly to help make that happen. I’ll look forward to your upcoming post about it.
Just want to say thanks for all the work you put into this, and for keeping us informed. It is appreciated.
Thanks again for all the good work. It’s very much appreciated. Especially what you said about supporting our LGBT community members. I may be a cishet white male, but I’m firmly devoted to love and tolerance, and it pains me to see that kind of hate in the world. Thank you for at least keeping it off of this site.
First, thanks for the fixes. As far as the donations, I’m currently donating through github. I’ve never used the ones you mentioned. In theory, I wouldn’t have a problem with it, but I’m not familiar with them.
I’d like to know they are safe. Both from the perspective of keeping my data secure, and knowing that they’re not going to blast me with sketchy ads or malware when I visit them to set things up.
Thanks for the update and the openness. Hope you are able to make it work with a minimum of fuss, and that all the users understand. Good luck!
Once again, thanks for all your time and effort keeping this instance going. And for being transparent about its workings and admin decision-making.
I think a post like this would be good to have at least monthly, with ad-hoc posts more frequently as site changes dictate.
I think a lot of the dead communities were created by folks fleeing from reddit and creating one for one placeholders for subreddits. Unfortunately, many of them have seen no activity and who knows if the creators are even around to mod them. If suggest a bulk email to those creators giving them 15 days to show some activity or the comm will be deleted (and follow thru).
I’d volunteer to help with admin or moderation, but I don’t know rust, I’m not a developer in any way, shape, or form, and I have very little time. For now I think my contribution will have to be monetary only. Good luck finding someone though!
Wow. I don’t know what all the hubbub was about, but I just want to say thanks. Y’all are providing a valuable service and it seems like you’re taking a lot of shit for it. Your work is appreciated.
Congratulations and good work!
