r/LocalLLM on #Reddit is such a mixed bag of idiots, morons, techbros, and people trying to exchange some #ML or #LLM information. Iāve been downvoted into the negative, losing worthless internet points, because users donāt like an honest or accurate answer. Then a meme-like comment will make it rain upvotes on me.

@bryan You summed up the entirety of reddit. Only thing less useful are Youtube comments.
@Unabart
So many subreddits have gone to š©. Iād say my favorite is still r/wallstreetbets
@bryan I quit using it when they broke the Apollo app. I canāt use their app or website. Itās garbage. Canāt stand ads.
@Unabart
Yeah, that sucked. I tried to use the alternative Lemmy, but there doesnāt seem to be enough people using the service.
@bryan I use Lemmy on the regular, but just for casual reading. The nerds with the answers to my tech questions havenāt quite flocked there yet. But, same shit different toilet. I use ChatGPT for this now, and boy has that done me wrong on a few occasions, but it forces me to pay closer attention. Since I moved in Jan, I have yet to unpack my crate of radio projects and musical gear. Waiting on my company to get me storage for all my work gear, then Iāll setup shop again.
@Unabart
Can you recommend an iOS app? The two I tried were š©. One was abandoned by the author and isnāt available anymore. Not sure what happened.
@bryan I use Voyager on my ipad (most Apollo-like) and on my iphone I use Mlem. I donāt have anything bad to say about either. Both entirely free, no sub, nothing behind paywall.
@Unabart
I use Mlem now but Iām constantly having to logout and back in because it canāt keep my auth token alive or something. Itās really annoying. Maybe the server Iām on is junk. š
@bryan Try Voyager. Poached as much from Apollo as possible. I use sh.itjust.works as my instance andnit works quite well. Mlem seems to have this thing where itāll refresh your feed after a while, or switching apps, but it doesnāt seem to do this on the phone, just ipad. Voyager is solid.
@Unabart
Iām pretty sure itās my server Iām using. https://lemmy.sdf.org/ ā¬
ļø I think it might be overloaded? I guess time to find a new server to live on? #lemmy
@bryan That was the first instance I used and as much as much as I support what SDF does, their Lemmy instance is frustrating bad. Always having problems updating, federating, you name it. Definitely move if you want a more fluid experience.
@Unabart
Btw There are greasemonkey scripts to remove the ads in the browser. But not having an app to use on the phone is probably the worst. I usually have idle time when on the go.
@bryan I donāt use my desktop that much anymore. And itās a nice new Mac Mini. I do have it on a kvm with my work laptop, which I use regularly. Still working on getting the home office figured out as I have crates of stuff for my job and my employers are adding to the pile as we add more devices into the fold. They say theyāll get me storage once they hire the person to work with me. Then I can jettison that shit to a shared storage place.
Anyway, soured on Reddit. Gotta stand for something!
