I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.

Ask me anything.

I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

  • Sadly, Lemmy doesn’t provide crosspost information in the feed; the frontend has to detect those duplicates and roll them up itself.

    Not sure if any other UIs do, but Tesseract will match crossposts on title as well as URL (the default UI only uses URL). I wrote that behavior in specifically for what you described; I was annoyed by seeing 3-4 duplicate posts to different communities all in a row.

    It’s not perfect since the crosspost rollups only happen if the duplicates are fetched in the same batch, but it does help a lot.



  • We used to use it before switching to Google Workspace (don’t get me started on how much I hate that), and Teams wasn’t too bad. But it had two things going for it then:

    • It was replacing Skype for Business which never should existed because it was so awful. Compared to SfB, literally anything was an improvement.
    • At the time, it was basically a Slack clone that didn’t have everything and the kitchen sink bolted on yet and was decently lightweight if you used the browser version.
