Who reads this anyway? Nobody, that’s…. Oh wait. Some people do. I guess I should put something worth reading in here then. Well here’s a test. How much text can you put in here? Who knows? We’ll find out together.

I could write just about anything here, and it wouldn’t really matter. I could go on an on about nothing in particular, and there would still be space left unused. If you’re like really verbose, you could write about any pointless topic without ever reaching a conclusion, and you wouldn’t even hit the character limit. Like, how long could this text be before you hit the wall? Surely, there’s a limit? You can’t just dump a chapter of lorem ipsum in here, now can you?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus mollis urna sit amet augue mollis interdum. Praesent sed massa eu quam vestibulum elementum. In pharetra sodales

Wow, that’s a lot of text. Previously, you couldn’t have this much, but now they’ve changed the settings, which is pretty neat.

  • Oh wow. Just looked at the votes of a harmless happy post that had lots of upvotes and a few downvotes. With this tool, I was able to figure out who was that one downvoter. Well, then I dug a bit deeper, and found out that this user seems to be a serial downvoter. Every day, there’s a proper barrage of downvotes directed at pretty much anything and everything.

    I have very mixed feelings about this discovery. Kinda nice to know all this, but it certainly didn’t make me happier.




  • Using a blacklist approach seems to be very popular, but here’s an alternative for those who want to try something different.

    Subscribe to all the communities you consider worth your time. Change the setting of your default feed so that home=subscribed. When you’re just casually browsing, you’ll see posts from the communities you’ve explicitly approved, so you can be pretty sure that you won’t be seeing stuff you don’t want to be exposed to.

    If you want to discover new and interesting places, there are actually a few communities specifically for that purpose. (!newcommunities@lemmy.world and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca) Just subscribe to those, and your home feed will introduce you to new things from time to time. If you want to see shitposts, politics, memes or a combination of all three, you can always visit the “all” feed.
