When a community is not yet federated on the instance (or post is from before federation) enabling notifications for it makes backfilling of past posts trigger notifications too
I don't have an opinion if this is wrong per se but I think I've discovered an edge case that I decided to share

Scenario 1:

1. I discover some communities on another instance that my instance doesn't know of yet
2. I open my feeds and add them to a feed that has notifications enabled
3. at this point communities are empty, backfilling of IIRC 50 last posts will happen soon
4. wait a bit
5. suddenly my notifications get drowned in past posts

Scenario 2:

1. I have a community that has notifications on, either directly or via a feed
2. out of the blue I get notification about some old post. Not a comment inside, the post itself. As if it was just posted. But all the dates inside are in the "far" past

I guess what happened in scenario 2 is that someone did "retrieve remote post"

Logically it makes sense but I guess it might be disorienting to some from pure UX perspective. I know of backfill and it does serve the purpose of showing that federation for community is working. But TBH what I expected was to start getting notified on new posts, not the old ones

On one hand, to me, addressing that feels like going after Pareto hard
On another, when someone migrates to a newly set up instance, that will be the behaviour of notifications

A New Jersey woman who was found bound with zip ties in the woods and marked with a derogatory phrase referencing President Donald Trump is now accused of staging the attack.

Natalie Greene, 26, is charged with conspiracy to convey false statements and hoaxes and making false statements to federal law enforcement.

According to court documents, Greene and a co-conspirator called 911 late July 23 and claimed that three men had attacked them on a trail at the Egg Harbor Township Nature Reserve. The co-conspirator told dispatchers the men referenced Greene by name and mentioned her job in politics. According to reports, Greene previously worked for a Republican congressman.

The upheaval of the manasphere following the the Disian Shadow War has brought significant changes to magic, changes that aren’t quite yet understood but already being seen and felt. Magic is both familiar and different.

This has just dropped in my notifications. It just so happens I recently read some part of Astral Ways and while I haven't followed Disian plot too closely, now I'm curious what they've cooked up. Their vision of metaplanes has some potential IMO
A bit too pricy for a curiosity purchase, though

Anyone had a chance to peek inside?

Ancient and modern, war-torn but prosperous, Cairo is a place where ancient customs and traditions walk hand-in-hand with the modern realities of the Sixth World. It’s a place of mystical power, opportunities, and vast riches for those bold enough to claim them. Here, fortunes and lives are often won or lost based on a single decision. And in the wake of a devastating shadow war, several corporations are looking toward Cairo to fortify and further expand their newly won power and influence … or to halt their imminent demise.

Risks and Rewards is a campaign book for Shadowrun, Sixth World.

NOTE: This product includes a PDF of the book and a PDF of the Cairo map.

A bit pricy but the region does not pop up often. I'm curious, especially if they added some magical threats fitting the area.
Or something area specific for the corps to scheme over?

Or at least did better job than most of the rest of non-Americas' lore

I had Monaco 2 on my watchlist. Now it’s on sale and it reminded me that I never really joined a multiplayer game in the first one. Because I’m afraid that being a noob I will ruin the game for everyone. Same with Due Process. Of course that is a vicious cycle where I keep being noob but don’t join a game out of fear of doing a noob thing. Not noticing something important, not timing something right, etc

Multiplayer in itself is not a problem, I have been playing other multiplayer titles. Both as a noob and a veteran. But the heist theme feels daunting

In a way I feel Payday was kind of easier in that regard because it was geared towards that “oops, I guess we are shooting now”

Has anyone had similar feeling? I probably should “just do it"
I feel like on the first game I should warn the lobby that I’m a noob, at which point I expect half of them to leave :D

I've been browsing f-droid when I noticed a bunch of apps like "Fossify calendar" that looked similar to apps starting with "Simple" - simple gallery, simple file manager, etc. I wanted to understand more on what are the ties and apparently, simple mobile tools are no good

So does someone know if Fossify are legit? Page looks iffy but code seems to be just forks.
Anyone has some info on them?
