I love you.

Just trying to do my part to help non-corporate social media grow!
- I am not entirely convinced you’re not a bot. But you get a pass thanks to your top notch content.
  
  Beep boop, make it so.
- You are the growth lol
  
  At least one of your posts is always on the front page whenever I check, and more are always shortly after
- You're like that one power user on old school forums that you would see everywhere and everyone else would know and respect them lmao
  
  Haha, thank you for the kind words. Everyone has been so nice on Lemmy, and it really keeps me engaged.
- Bro is the embodiment of the meme "Doing my part!"
- Joined 3 weeks ago, thousands of posts and comments. Holy moly
  
  My initial account was on lemmy.world, but since making this one on startrek.website, it has far surpassed it. I still hop between them to post whenever one or the other is acting sluggish.

  Back at you, Cockmaster6000...

- Mad respect, I've shared so many of your memes to outerverse folks and realised most of them come from you.
  
  That's awesome to hear! I can only claim to have made a small % of the ones I post to lemmy, but I've always thought it would be cool to stumble upon one of mine circulating elsewhere one day.
Just to be clear, no hate at all for the_picard_maneuver!
- I don't hate him either, but I suspect a lot of the memes come from reddit. Not that I care. The memes are dope
  
  Yeah, I make OC for lemmy occasionally, but the majority of memes are saved from other sites.
  
  I see it as a doing a little bit of dumpster diving so that lemmy doesn't have to.
They post so fast, they appear to be in two places at the same time.
I love u/the_picard_maneuver but I don't love that I can't just tap their posts to view the image in the browser, have to click the link and leave Lemmy to see them.
- You do? Hmm, that's strange... I'm uploading everything through Lemmy directly and haven't been hosting off site.
  
  When I switch to my .world account, it doesn't appear that way to me either. Could anyone more technical take a stab at what might be happening?
  
  The problem is something to do with startrek.website, but it only affects the default UI (Lemmy-UI). I've seen it on a large number of images uploaded on startrek.website but viewed on another instance. It doesn't seem to affect files uploaded to external websites though
  
  No issues for me. Using Memmy.
  
  Doesn't cause it on the sync app for me. All your uploads show up without a website.
  
  No issues on Jerboa
  
  I assumed it was something to do with lemm.ee's policy with federating images to protect against CP attacks, since everyone else who says they're having trouble is also from lemm.ee. I think what they're doing is just linking to the other instances' images directly, and maybe startrek.website doesn't like that?
  
  I can see your lemmy.world account's posts just fine.
  
  Clearing my Firefox cache after adding lemm.ee and startrek.website to my uBlock whitelist fixed the issue. Now I can see your wonderful posts easier!
- You can fix it by clearing your cache or by using a different client like voyager or photon
  
  Clearing Firefox cache after adding lemm.ee and startrek.website to ublock whitelist fixed the issue. Thanks :)
- Yeah startrek.website doesn't technically allow hotlinking, which lemm.ee is doing.
  
  The thing is, apps just ignore that hotlink forbiddance, while browsers respect it. And other instances federate images.
Being able to see Lemmy karma scores feels... wrong. But yes, the Picard Maneuver is a treasure
- Not if it gives me that dopamine rush!
Truly the MrBabyMan of the Lemmyverse
They is how it begins. They give you lots of free stuff and once you're hooked, they start to enshittify everything and ask you for more money or ad revenue. "The picard manoeuvre" may seem like an internet hero now, but beware! (JK of course, you're the mvp)
You guys are recording how many updoots you get?
🫡 I'm trying to do my part, too.
