  • Ultimately a kind of uber cross posting that hides away the technical bits. I’d definitely love that. Or at least if I as a user could specify multiple communities for a post, and from a ux ui perspective it remains a single post.

    Then again one could argue that subscribers should simply follow multiple communities and that solves the problem, too and it already works. So just avoid cross posting altogether.










  • It seems I often don’t get stuff in my inbox that should be there. Like direct replies. But honestly, I’d also like to get notifications for sibling posts or replies to replies and so on. I just want to subscribe to that discussion.

    Another thing is that sometimes eternity forgets where I was doom scrolling, and it takes me forever to get back to that point. I probably just clicked away from the feed or closed all my apps.

    Edit: Maybe with a bell button. It’s simple and gives control and it’s okay to not use it. In the settings you can say also enable the bell when you like sum. Afaik activity pub supports granular subscribing.







  • Honestly I have to recommend against using Proton!

    I’ve been unable to access some of my calendars lately, which are essential for my work. It doesn’t even display an error - I’ve just noticed that events are missing. If it was down for a few hours that’d be acceptable, but this isn’t.

    I’ve also had numerous issues with their email, the worst being that it has pretended to send emails that it hasn’t, the consequences of which I had to bear. Again no error message.

    And I keep hearing about them adding new features I don’t need. How about spending some of that money on proper QA?

    Save yourself the headache and find another provider and consider carrying a paper agenda instead. I’d also recommend using different companies for different services, as any issues will only apply to one service. It’s best to have your own domain for your email so it doesn’t depend on anyone.

    Apparently I am free next week: 1000013042

    Edit: I should add that it does work in the browser and they got back to me quickly, and I am in a foul mood today. Make of that what you will.
