Lemmy Universal Link Rewriter now supports basic (magazine/user) kbin links
  • Userscripts are more portable than extensions. There's also basically no reason for this to be an extension, what features does being an extension provide which this would benefit from?

    It's definitely fine to collaborate, just make an issue/PR here: https://gitlab.com/azzurite/lemmy-universal-link-switcher

  • Visiting the US soon - do I really have to tip?
  • Actually, you are hurting the employer by hurting the server. Just not nearly as much.

  • Could this become a "Caring is Sharing" sub, just like the old days
  • I usually keep stuff to seed until 3.0 ratio or longer if I'm keeping the files. If it's just taking really long and I need the drive space at 1.0 or even earlier. That should be ok right?

  • Could this become a "Caring is Sharing" sub, just like the old days
  • I honestly never noticed it :D is there like a setting to turn off seeing those lock symbol people? I must have that on :D

  • Can someone tell me the reason why these people don't want to leave Reddit?
  • It's important to note that the default state of people is being dumb. It takes effort, exposure and more qualities/circumstances during a person's early years to not be dumb.

    Many people just didn't grow up in an environment that allows that, it's actually a quite specific one that doesn't happen automatically.

    And once the early life phase is over, mental plasticity is a lot lower, so very very few people go from "dumb" to "not dumb".

    If you want to be less dumb, I can really recommend https://lesswrong.com/rationality

  • How should we be using Lemmy?
  • Yeah as I noticed it became bigger than just a simple few functions I had to do some actual software development :D

    Did just split it up into separate files with a build step at the end compiling the actual userscript.

  • Do you use adblock? Why? Why not?
  • There definitely is/was an adblocker that clicks on ads but doesn't show them. Don't make me look it up, I don't care enough ;)

  • How should we be using Lemmy?
  • I'll probably have post/comment links working tomorrow or Thursday :)

  • Add Lemmy-equivalent communities to the sidebar of archived subs?

    For example, it'd be nice for anyone that looks at/finds https://lemmit.online/c/dota2 to also find that https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/dota2 or https://lemmy.world/c/dota2 is an actual community that corresponds to that with user content, not bot content.

    I'm sure there's lots of equivalents for other communities as well where that would make sense.

    Years old posts in "Hot" sorts

    I'm only noticing this on tchncs.

    The couple first posts on the "Hot" "Subscribed/All" sorts on tchncs seem to be "normal" hot posts, but after around 15 of those there are only weeks/months/years old posts.

    !

    I searched for issues on the repo and I found this which may have been applicable: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3125

    However, it was fixed for 0.18, which tchncs is running, and theoretically update_hot_ranks should be a startup job, which I assume happened when updating.

    Can something be done about this? Maybe cross-post this to lemmy_support@lemmy.ml (though this should probably be done by our friendly admin)?

    Cannot delete account
  • You're just trying to trick me into deleting my account! Nice try, but I'm 3 steps ahead of you!

  • How should we be using Lemmy?
  • It only really matters for the "local" feed which instance you choose. I don't really see much point to that one honestly, except if you're on something like startrek.website where "local" is "show me all star trek stuff", or something similar.

    And yes, it is important to spread out the user base across multiple servers and not all end up on lemmy.world.

    So I'd say find some smaller instance, maybe with a community actually physically local to you, and make that your main one. Or don't and stay on lemmy.world, I'm not your dad.

    Perpetual plug to my userscript which changes all links to point to your home instance to make this even easier :)

  • Mastodon's Eugen Rochko in talks with Meta?!😱
  • Ah yes of course, a few people living off donations are supposed to outperform a multi billion dollar corporation in amount of features and polish within features.

    The protocol doesn't matter. Look at lemmy vs kbin. Kbin has "extended" features like microblogs & different UI. There's plenty of people that like those features and thus are using kbin over Lemmy.

    Just imagine kbin were much more attractive than Lemmy. More people would start signing up there. More people start "microblogging". Maybe there'll be other features introduced, and Lemmy can't keep up with the nice things being added.

    One day kbin decides not to federate with Lemmy at all anymore. Most people are on kbin at this point, Lemmy doesn't have the same quality/amount of features. Now the average user has a choice: do they care about kbin being asses and leave kbin? No, of course not, not if the features really are nicer.

    Now replace kbin with Facebook. Or Google, that's exactly what they did with XMPP.

    The only thing that is able to save from the triple E attack is the users actually caring enough about open platforms and deciding to not use the non-open ones. Or actually having more resources than Facebook, good luck with that.

  • What are your favorite active communities on Lemmy?
  • I like !dota2@lemmy.world. It has a lot of posts with really high quality and there's lots of discussions happening in the comments.

    I wish 😭 I'm so alone

  • “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

  • Are most of you using Torrents or Usenet?
  • Because setup is easier, Docker basically sets up a completely new environment for the app to live in mostly isolated from your main system, so all the stuff you installed on your system has no effect on it.

  • Unclassified FBI Document: Ability to legally access Secure Messaging App Content and Metadata (January 2021)
  • Also depends on if the backup is properly encrypted. If it is, security of whatever storage you use is pretty irrelevant.

    greasyfork.org Lemmy Universal Link Rewriter

    Ensures that all URLs to Lemmy instances always point to your main/home instance.

    Lemmy Universal Link Rewriter

    Next up is to actually rewrite post links, which is probably the most interesting feature.
