For me, it’s Grim Dawn, honestly. (And Diablo before that) 10 classes to choose 2 from means a lot of new skills and builds. Tons of random loot, but also recipes to make and collect.

I mostly play with mods now. Grim Internals, full rainbow, some rep and exp gain ones, and the Item Assistant. I play solo, and have enjoyed every hour of it!

PAX - before there was PAX Prime or PAX East.

This is what my family (and a few friends) use. We have been using it for a while now because it just works. Also, the kids have never complained about using Conversations, or about using it only for us (like if you have that one family member who won’t leave SMS behind - we’re that guy, I guess), and we can make as many channels as we need for the house, the kids, with each kid individually, for our MTG cards, with our couple of friends that use it, etc…

I don’t personally do the hosting, so I can’t speak to that. That’s the hubby’s thing
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The thing that gets me a lot of the time is falling up. I would trip while running or riding a bike, and lose contact with the ground. Soon I’m beyond any trees that I could grab, and just falling. Up. Until it wakes me up.

I’ve had nightmares about it since I was a kid (I don’t know when “old” starts, but I’m probably closer to that than to being a kid. Well, in age - I’m still pretty immature 😅)

I have had quite a few nightmares about not being able to find my kids during zombie apocalypses.
Same basic thing tho: the scariest part wasn’t the setting or scenario, it was not being able to save my kids from harm.

The options I’m aware of are A) that spot to block/filter instances in Sync (which you’ve already done), or B) going to the web interface with a browser, going to your settings page there, and there’s the tab for Blocks. That page has ways to block a person, community, or (at the very bottom of that) instance.

I can’t help you with getting the filter to stick, but at least there’s another way (which should end up being client agnostic)

Yeah, tested on that post and this one, and it at least works in each post and comments. Good luck!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like this, maybe?

(May not always be useful?)

That’s fair - I had just thought it must be the new normal, if it had trickled down to our city (city, but not big city).

The whole business of blaring ads at a captive audience is bs, either way!

I don’t live in a big city, by any stretch - but I guess it’s not the sticks, because we have that shit around here. And not just the busiest gas stations, by the highway. I hate it.

They’re “Community” on Lemmy, and “Magazine” for kbin. I don’t know about elsewhere…

What navigation style do you use? It’s probably the same, just how you get to the view that shows the list of Local, Subscribed, and Everything. Left drawer navigation will look like this

Long-press the three-dot menu next to Subscribed for the option

My experience exactly when I tried mentioning the spoiler problem (there’s a markdown-specific post here if you wanted to add anything else, btw)

I think there are 3 ways of marking spoilers and Sync only recognizes 1 of them or something. Even on this community’s about section there’s a spoiler that doesn’t work in the app.
¯\_ (ツ) _/¯

the spoilers are a mess.

Yup. They are (for now)!

Yes, it does show ads. It does that. (The same way a lot of apps handle free-tier.)

There are other Lemmy apps out there that don’t show ads, but I think Sync is the most polished of the bunch.

Using the “More Actions” menu via the three-dots button at the top of my Subscribed feed, this is my view:

In the lower left of that menu is my Inbox icon, with no “new messages” badge. (I admit I don’t know all the right words) In the dimmed bg you can see my Bottom Nav bar, with a badge on it.

(Cropped view of the 2 inbox icons)

Edit: what the hell is going on with that account that keeps spamming nonsense?

More than 600 comments in less than 3 hours? Probably safer to block and move on.

The one that looks like a person with a 🚫 is Banned user, trashcan is deleted comment, iirc. (Provided by a new spammer with an account <20 mins old)

Love the update! Thank you, Mr. LJ!

Sadly though, I just got my first reply notification (yay!) … and the inbox notification badge that tells me I have 1 new only shows up on the bottom nav bar and not in my left drawer or more actions inboxes…

I can screenshot them if you need me to.

I don’t know if it’s a solution you’d like, but there is a bottom nav bar for comments. That’s what I do for those really long posts. If you gimme a sec, I can find the setting link for you.

Edit: Settings shortcut: Comment options > Display navigation bar

❤️ I’ll take it! Thank you kindly! I definitely hate to put any more on your plate - but damn man, you are flying through the issues and requests!
