As lemmy is a Foss and privacy respecting platform built on that ethics and morals it is only right the clients following those morals should be the most promoted and used. In the past you may have needed proprietry apps or tools but the need is no more as more foss apps and tools that can cater to everyones taste for all platforms are available now ( see the megathread ) there is no need to use proprietry apps which are privacy nightmares and tracks, pushes ads. etc and also if a proprietry app dev decides to collect data there is no wayto know or if they close development the app is gone but with foss someone will fork it . In the past this sub has allowed posts about proprietry apps and tools those posts will stay as it is and you can interact with it but posting any new one will lead to warning and then ban this decision was made as a community by conducting a poll.

It seems like the poll didn't run for more than 20 hours, that seems a bit short?

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah i was goingbto let it run for 2 days but as i was about to become busy and i thought 20 hours would cover most timezones i wrapped it up.

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 8 points 9 months ago (2 children)

People are usually active at the same time every day (e.g. in the evening) so it's better to give it a few days.

I just finished my workday, yesterday at the same time the poll wasn't there, now it's closed.

Also be careful about vote propagation, here is the view from

https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/lemmyapps@lemmy.world

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !lemmyapps@lemmy.world

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@lemmy.sdf.org -1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It must be an issue with federation try from sdf.org one if you want to see results.

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

https://sh.itjust.works/c/lemmyapps@lemmy.world shows similar numbers

https://lemm.ee/c/lemmyapps@lemmy.world too

How are you sure Lemmy.sdf.org is the correct one where two other main instances have different numbers?

[–] brickfrog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Do you have the direct links to the same post at those instances? You might just be viewing the vote count from your instance at reddthat.com (which is fine but that's just the votes from your instance).

The votes at the community's home instance should be the correct ones e.g. whatever link that is at lemmy.world but I don't have that one either.

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 2 points 9 months ago

I use those links to see the votes on those instances, no need for the post link as you can see it from the community

Here it is, however: https://lemmy.world/post/12235423?scrollToComments=true

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Just out of curiosity which app do you use ?

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 2 points 9 months ago

I use the default Lemmy ui on my phone browser

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@lemmy.sdf.org -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don't know but as i hosted in that acc and people who federate with it can upvote it but the upvotes maybe missing ftom other inatances because of federation issues

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's probably what is happening. It might be a good idea to invalidate this poll as the results don't seem stable, and start another discussion to see if it even needs to happen.

I know you got this community recently, but you seem to be pushing for changes that are not supported by a majority of the community (be it 71-69 or 57-70)

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@lemmy.sdf.org -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It is not for any gains as i am not a dev or built any foss apps . I am just trying to help and motivate people to use better apps and tools. And it was 71- 65 when i wrapped the thread i think people from this thread ia contributing now.

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

See it from the community perspective.

I am pretty tolerant towards non FOSS clients for Lemmy. Sync and Boost allowed a lot of people to join Lemmy, and they still use those apps everyday.

I follow and sometimes contribute to the community because I think it's nice to have a central place to see the latest updates, FOSS or not. The community wasn't actively moderated, but people didn't care because the topic is pretty much conflict free

Then someone like you or another person jumps in and pushes for only FOSS to be allowed, while a post from a week ago about a Boost update has 34 upvotes and 4 downvotes.

We all want Lemmy to succeed, but we also have to accept opinions of other people in how to do so and manage this kind of cross-Lemmy communities

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@lemmy.sdf.org -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Link and sync aldready has their own big ass community i don't they are gonna miss this one .

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Based in your poll, there is no clear agreement from the community on this.

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@lemmy.sdf.org -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There isn't but that is also what happened when i announced i am not gonna change it to foss only hence the poll

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 2 points 9 months ago

The poll which is evenly split, so not really giving any reason to change the current status of this community, which accepts both FOSS and non FOSS

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Try from sdf.org instance which i hosted it on

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You posted from sdf but the community is hosted on LW. I would trust that version over SDF

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

But that version is missing votes . And also sdf hasn't defederayed with any instances while .world has defedetated with some

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

At this moment, LW has 70 downvotes, SDF has 69, so one at least is missing.

SDF has 71 upvotes, so even with those numbers we can see the margin is very thin.

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@lemmy.sdf.org -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don't think that counts as the people in this thread who doesn't like the choice is going there and down voting.

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 3 points 9 months ago

Well, isn't their vote as valid as someone who would upvote?
