Maybe evaluation on the adjusted censer is premature but I still feel the trinket is not worthwhile. Even if I knew exactly when it's about to fire off, it still seems too inconsistent to pick over others.

While the censer probably won't fire directly on top of a scroll or potion, they can get caught up in the path of a firestorm/icestorm. Even if the censer doesn't shoot when you're in the shop, it could fire right by the door and end with the shopkeeper leaving.

My priority with the trinkets is to improve my win rate. The risk/reward ratio is not good. The reward feels meager and the risk, while I guess manageable, doesn't compare with other lower risk yet higher reward trinkets.

I think for it to be worth picking, you would need to have warning before it sets off and have a clue as to which gas. It's a censer that takes a while to shoot out; I think it would make sense that you'd smell it before it's dealt.

But that's just me. Anyone really liking the censer? Are there strategies for it? Only thing I've got is throwing items at the grass squares adjacent to the point of impact since they can keep spawning grass for a couple of turns, depending on where the gas landed.

I'm curious as to why the distant well remains in your adventuring notes after you've opened the door to the connected room. Is there any use to the rooms after you've looted the treasure? The other wells are removed from your notes after they're used up.

I'm curious on people's thoughts on the censer.

Personally, it's too random for me to warrant picking. It can set off in narrow corridors, making that the highest priority and danger. It can fire off in a shop, so now I'm thinking of dropping it off before the door. It can activate while you're eating and you could be caught in a paralyzing cloud for any mob to clobber down on. Any potions or scrolls on the ground, along with other destructibles, are vulnerable to firestorms or icestorms that come willy nilly. The durational activation means it doesn't jive with speed builds. It can be fun to try out at least once but not my cup of tea.

Maybe if there was a warning before it's set off, or you could inspect it to get an idea if it'll fire off soon, I might give it another whirl.

Maybe something you picked up recently? Or something you found that was a game-changer.

Personally, I'm doing 5(HC, BB, OD, SI, FR) challenge runs with okay success and am looking to upgrade to 6.

With the option enabled, you can see post downvote tallies as well but it's displayed as a ratio. Unless I'm forgetting or just missed it, I haven't seen anyone comment on it either. Good or bad.

Personally, I don't like it and would prefer separate numbers for the upvotes and downvotes. The ratio stands out. Not just within Connect UI but also compared to other platforms' design. Separate numbers would make the UI more standard and also reduce the extra spacing to make room for the height difference.

If you completely disagree, that's totally valid and I'm actually more curious to see these comments, for perspective.

I was looking at a post when I noticed duplicates of a comment. Viewing the thread on mobile doesn't show the duplicates so I'm not sure if the duplicates were deleted and not shown on mobile or if Connect is creating the duplicates. At the time of posting this, the duplicated comment is with the Capricorny90210@lemmy.world handle. This is on 1.0.106.

I was reading a post and tapped on the first link in the opening post and it sent me here for some weird reason. Not only is the post number off, the instance is entirely different. This is on 1.0.106.

I only use the block instance feature for my feeds and don't find the feature extending to blocking user comments useful. An option for the block instance feature to only block posts and not comments would be nice. I'd venture a guess that most people would prefer this and that there are very few entire instances where the nuclear option is necessary.

As far as I know, Lemmy Connect is currently the only way for individual users to block instances themselves. Sure, you can do this if you host your own instance but not everyone wants to go to that length.

Specifically, you'll need to go into Settings, in the app, and tap on Blocked Settings, and from there you can manage your blocked instances, as well as communities and users.

I want to also mention that Lemmy Connect has the ability to tag users. Super useful with all of the bad actors that are creeping in.

EDIT: Unfortunately it seems blocking instances is broken in the current version, 1.0.68, but the dev has been updating practically daily recently so I think there'll be a fix out soon.

EDIT2: And it's fixed.

The ability to add and modify custom tags, that only your account would see, to any user was essential for me on Sync for Reddit. I think with the huge influx of new users on Lemmy and Kbin, as well as the massive amounts of bot accounts that we've also seen being created, it's certainly a useful feature to have I hope it also gets added to Connect.

In terms of priority, this may not be that critical, but the sooner it's added, the sooner people can manage our experience and navigate better. This feature was what kept me with Sync and getting Sync Pro, despite a kerfuffle at the time; because I had invested time in tagging users and didn't want to repeat the effort and start from scratch with another app.
