Lemmy (active) users # seems to stabilize
  • I am uncounted, but next month I will be active!

  • You can have any B-tier superpower you like. What do you choose?
  • I’d love to be able to finish a task witho-

    Man that coffee pot is gross, better go clean it.

  • What are some household chores people should do more often?
  • So, let me get this right, you don’t fold your clothes? Rather you just crumple them up and put them in the drawer?

    I never thought of this as a viable solution but I am going to try it out! Folding laundry is my #1 chore left undone. I end up “living out of the basket” and nothing is ever done.

  • [OPINION] Gnome Online Accounts (Google)
  • I couldn’t agree more. I appreciate how easy it is to set up Nextcloud integration in Online Accounts as well. I think many people lose sight of the fact that while Gnome may be lacking certain features, or “isn’t customizable”, it is very approachable for the non technical person.

  • What temperature do you keep your thermostat at?
  • We typically keep our house at 68F in the summer, and in the winter it’s 63F during the day, 55F at night. We like it on the chilly side.

  • The History of Windows 2.0
  • I thought this for the longest time. My family’s first computer was a Compaq Presario 850 which ran Xerox TabWorks software. I had a completely different view of windows 3.1 than most people, and had no idea.

  • Oracle has declared war on Redhat & IBM. The enterprise linux war has begun
  • Thanks for introducing me to this, PipedLinkBot.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • You’re Welcome!

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • That’s interesting, in Memmy I see the instance name underneath user name in all comments.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • I also use Memmy, and I believe I had to configure it to show instance names, it was not set up that way out of the box. I may be incorrect, or that has changed since I first installed it.

  • How the beehaw defederation affects us
  • Why would anyone stay on an instance that can’t interact with a huge chunk of the fediverse? Only the most passionate beehaw-ers will stay there. Most will likely leave to more accessible pastures.

    Maybe this is the point. They’ve taken this extreme action to drive their non core users into other instances. This leaves only the users that want to be part of their more isolated instance, which seems to be their goal. Low volume, high quality discussions within their own community.

  • If we want this to work out make content do not just lurk
  • I used Safari to “Add to Home Screen”. It isn’t a real app but it has it’s own icon and acts like one.

  • iOS app for Lemmy
  • I was using this and liked it a lot, but I don’t think it supports notifications. For that I set up RSS notifications to NetNewsWire.

  • Posts/communitees not visible?
  • I’ve been successfully posting in communities at lemmy.ml from lemmy.sdf.org, so I’m not sure what might be happening there. I was able to find Midwest.social/c/chicago from the sdf instance search. The URL should work, but you are also able to use the format [email protected] ([email protected]). The search does take a long time to fetch the results from an external instance, and there is no loading animation, so after a minute or two the results will change from “no results found” to displaying the community.

  • current lemmy status
  • Same here! I was checking to see if there was any information about an sdf instance, when I saw the announcement on bboard!

  • is there a fediverse imgur?
  • Yeah, I see a lot of comments about ipfs. I’ll be checking it out.

  • is there a fediverse imgur?
  • I think some sort of p2p solution would be really cool. You could basically allocate a certain amount of storage on your server and images would be stored and grabbed by peers as needed. Something like BitTorrent where multiple peers have the same content to reduce load. Not sure if it already exists or is even practically possible.

  • Expressing concerns about moderation policy on lemmy.ml
  • it’s less a matter of disagreeing (people disagree all the time) and more a matter of knowing what to expect.

    I think this is really what it boils down to. It’s not that the lemmy.ml admins should be forced to moderate in a way that they don’t agree with. Rather, users, especially new users, should be aware of the rules surrounding their moderation policies.

    Lemmy.ml is the most likely starting place for new users. The critique by pineapple serves as a PSA to new members that they need to be aware that in a federated system each instance has its own rules and moderation policies. Users information to make informed decisions about the instances and communities that they want to partake in.
