I search through my chats pretty often, both on Signal and things like FB Messenger. Sometimes I want a link that was sent, sometimes I want to review something we talked about, or sometimes I need to figure out when something happened and I can do that by checking when I talked about it with a close friend.
It's ok if you don't use it, but it's important to a lot of people
It's hard to tell what chats you'll want to retain, so people will just use the other app...
On the other hand, I usually know ahead of time when I don't want a certain conversation saved. Even if I don't, I can delete a message for everyone right after something is sent. That stuff won't get backed up.
Retaining data for years is not.
I don't see why this is the case? Sure deleting your data completely is always more private than keeping it, but why would it be that much worse keeping it. If the information is important, people will keep it in other forms instead (ex. insecure chat app, personal notes, text messages).
Even backups on android could be simpler, such as automatically storing the backup file on a cloud drive. Right now we need to set that up manually with a separate app.
Also while history isn't important for you, it IS important for other people. If I couldn't do the bare minimum with backups, I'd probably have dropped signal. I know some friends didn't take up Signal just because of chat history reasons (iOS, couldn't set up cloud backups on android, etc.)
Ah sorry, I meant people locally that maintain the roads/signs/barriers. I'll fix it to be more clear
I agree with your comment though
I came here thinking it recently collapsed and Google Maps just never updated.
It collapsed a decade ago, and both Google Maps and local ~~maintainers~~ organizations (whoever maintains the roads) dropped the ball. You'd think someone would have built a wall blocking that road off by now
I guess it's time for me to flood my feed with every animal related community, just like I did with Reddit
I'm curious as well, is there an official Lemmy community to follow?
I think they merged something just yesterday for it? Looks like the GitHub issue was closed as "completed"
Great to hear :)
Do you mean so that you can search for it in your saved posts more easily? If so I don't know of any tools for that yet. I've been saving things to Pocket when I want something like that.
Back when I was using Reddit, I set up IFTTT to add my saved posts to a spreedsheet on my google drive. It stopped working a few months ago and I never fixed it. You could try something like that, but it might be easier to just save it with some other service (bookmarks or Pocket type services)
That's fair, I think it's only really reasonable to add the one badge for the total subscribers. It would act as a workaround until we can get something like subscribers: 310/30.6K (local/fed). If there's some reason why Lemmy can't show the true subscriber count, then this should work in the long run too.
I was poking around with lemmyverse.net, and I think they might be pulling the subscriber for each community from the home instance for each. According to the other commenters, the count on the home instance should be the accurate count, so lemmyverse.net might be accurate (in which case why doesn't Lemmy show that info by default...).
For Kbin, you can use the same site: https://lemmyverse.net/kbin/magazines?order=followers Although I heard that there are some issues with the data for the Kbin sites, because of API issues of some kind?
As for the cloudflare site, I didn't know that. If you wanted to use the badge, you should be able to edit the codeblock above and make a new link without opening the site. It would still be pulling images from their site, you just wouldn't be opening the the site yourself. Otherwise, their repo is here: https://github.com/badges/shields, and there may be other sites that do something similar.
Sorry that happened to you :(
