My team has being trying an approach where instead of story pointing, we break everything down into the smallest incremental tasks we reasonably can and use number of tasks overall as the metric instead of story points.

In theory it’s meant to be just as accurate on larger projects because the larger than normal and smaller than normal tasks all average out, and it save the whole headache of sitting around and arbitrarily setting points on everything based mostly on gut feeling.

Thank you! Been here a month and a half and I still had no clue how to link communities lol

That makes so much sense! I never understood it, and it became irrelevant before I worked it out.

A tip if you’re used to old reddit and use desktop, check out old.lemmy.world. It as a dark mode like reddit enhancement suite adds to old reddit, and everything is exactly where I expect it to be based on my reddit experience. Since you’re already using a lemmy.world account, it’ll just work for you straight away.

Oh and also, you’ll see that you can list things as “all,” “local,” or “subscribed.” You can pretty much ignore local, and use all or subscribed as your main page.

I too hate it when community focused on Topic won’t shut up about Topic.

Honestly agreed. I hate that we don’t have a good open alternative to YT, but as long as you can afford it buying premium seems like a decent alternative.

Hot sorting normally has some weight put towards new posts so they show up occasionally. I think on lemmy right now the weight of new posts is just way too high.

I tend to stick to top in time period, and use hot as a smarter version of sort by new.

I’ve been on Reddit since 2012, but I haven’t quite quit Reddit completely. It fills the same role as twitter now, where I go there to interact with specific communities but never scroll through the front page any more.
