No and not really. Reddit is just past its expiration date. I believe Lemmy suffers from a lot of the same systemic issues and that will prevent it from becoming an actual long term solution. It's just the alpha version. It's better than the prototype, but it's still built on the same fundamentals and will likely suffer a similar type of failure.

Bring back the golden age of the translucent/orange Mac all in one.
It's wild how effective these camera filters are at removing blemishes nowadays.
To build off this comment; it's likely the result of careless design. It is possible to code applications to avoid this issue, but it is technically a Firefox specific issues so it's not something a mobile developer would default to consider.
First they came. (For the communists)
Ah but you see, 0.25 is only the inverse of 4 in base 10 ... Checkmate atheists!
Sounds to me like someone just figured out their next research project.
I can't say as to why things are how they are. It's likely just the usual open source lagging behind; These technologies are fairly new and the corporate stronghold around them is strong.
Shaders are programs that run on graphics cards to act as shortcuts for common graphic scenarios, they are not programs that dictate how graphic cards function. That could clear up some confusion.
We need to start sending the youths to the last bastion of American education.
This clown school graduate is walking circles around the Harvard and Yale doctorates.
Yes, but actually no.
The game requires you to react and respond to a variety of attacks with fairly strict timing. It is extremely punishing. You often still take at least some damage or some form of disadvantage if you choose a close but not perfect response.
None of these patterns overlap into perfect checkmate situations though some situations exist that are extremely difficult - they are usually avoidable and require multiple large scale mistakes to get into. The game was designed to be beaten - the devs purposely made every encounter have glaring weaknesses and openings, but they do often require a nuanced understanding of not only the game mechanics but also the physical execution of the strategy.

It is ultimately the same format which does not yield constructive conversation. The conversation is as though OP were speaking on a stage making their statement/announcement and then the audience yells back to them. It functions for some things, most notably sharing popular news - not necessarily journalism, just a glimpse through the eyes of the zeitgeist; dank memes are a form of good news by this definition. It does not function for discussion oriented conversation, since most people don't read the whole thread. The implementation of up and down votes manipulate conversational integrity in weird ways Though that will occur with any type of rating system, I believe the simplicity of the reddit style system yields conversational benefits that are less valuable than how cheap it is to implement. A cheap hack of a system will yield a cheap shoddy output. This leads me to believe a better method exists, we just haven't found it yet.
The emphasis on user control and instance freedom is novel and appreciated, but it has come with a reckless disregard for the dangers of the nowadays well understood echo chamber effect of current social media. There are zero safeguards to prevent Lemmy from shattering itself under any amount of external stress or internal corruption. Organized attacks are a major threat, and there is a nonzero chance of that happening.
Again, all of these are just like long term weaknesses in the structure itself. It doesn't mean it IS going to fail, it doesn't mean things can't be mitigated, I just don't trust that it will stand for a very long time nor will it reach the significance of reddit. Could be wrong, but it looks like Lemmy is capable only of moving around the problems with Reddit instead of being able to actively quell them.
