Tankies have always been extreme to the point of parody. They’re so anti imperialist they end up supporting an imperialist nation (Russia). And they’re so anti-West they end up supporting someone upsetting the Western order (Trump) despite representing it’s worst excess. Tankies make more sense when you view them through the lense of being useful idiots for Russia, who deep down are radical authoritarian imperialists - the very thing they claim to hate.

It’s also worth ensuring you have at least both “Undetermined” and “English” selected as your languages in your settings.

I find Lemmy isn’t super at pushing newer content at the top, and you have to just mix between the different sorts. The content is definitely there. The alternative way to mitigate this is as follows:

• In my settings I have “show read posts” unticked. This ensues posts I interact with (e.g click on, vote on) with disappear from my feed afterwards (upon refresh/reload, of course). I don’t think it clears posts that have appeared in your feed but you haven’t interacted with. This is extremely effective in keeping your feed fresh.
• When browsing on my phone (Boost For Lemmy), I make frequent use of its “hide all read” button to quickly gut anything on my feed that I’ve seen before (no interaction needed).
• You can, of course, just manually hide posts as you go but uh, the above methods are better at automating that process for you.

I used to get really annoyed with stale feeds but upon doing the above it’s pretty much always fresh content.

That said, it won’t hurt to subscribe to more communities!

Sure.

One of the mobile apps has this feature, might be summit or connect. but otherwise no.

young padawan, the first lesson you ever learn on the internet is never admit your age until it no longer matters

Fair enough, I did read more info this and it seems to be a regional thing. Maybe a VPN might fix it but shrug

It works fine, you just need to download an old version in order to login. It doesn’t let you login in the latest version but you can update it once you are logged in

XManager still works fine for Spotify

Yup. Reality. No point using a hyper secure chat system if literally nobody you know is using it.
