The main thing I was concerned about is then getting rid of the reverse chronological sorting and they’ve backtracked on that, so hopefully it won’t be completely awful. It did just seem like a weird business memo that the staff were told to put on Tumblr rather than anything user-friendly. Just sounded way too corporate.
I like the idea and I know that’s how some people are using Lemmy at the moment. I think it would need to be very easy to implement though for it to be truly viable.
I love the name ‘earthlings’! Glad you’re keeping the alienfolk on side just in case
So far it’s been stressful. I have stupid deadlines this week and the person who would usually help left last week. Worked over the weekend and already know I’m having to work over my hours for the rest of the week to make sure I get everything done in time.
The worst part is that the main paper I’m killing myself writing is something that I know people won’t read all of, but if I don’t write it then the exec will be pissed off. Wish they realised just how much work goes into these things.
Definitely with you there on Jane Austen. I like that ultimately everyone gets married and is happy (even if that’s not my idea of a happy ending necessarily)
It’s great that you’ve recognised the burnout and are taking steps to look after yourself. You’ve done a great job on here, as can be seen by the community that’s sprung up here.
I like the name as it conjures up a cute image of a bee in a little cowboy hat. The icons are nice too, I like the consistency. More generally, I like that there’s no tolerance for trolls here, people are generally friendly and it feels like it’s easy to comment without worrying about the replies you might get. Plus it’s transparent - I like the fact the admins post updates on bugs, finances, etc.
I’m on Lemmy.world as well and it feels slightly more like the old place in comparison.
Going to my parents’ to dogsit while they’re on holiday. Will be nice to chill with the dog, but I was hoping to get some time on my PC before that. Just got The Tenants from the Steam summer sale and enjoying it so far
