Federation issue?
  • I'm experiencing similar things:

    • Posts made here not appearing on other federated instances
    • Posts made by other federated instances disappearing or never appearing in communities here

    I've checked with alt accounts created on lemm.ee and sh.itjust.works which are subscribed to the same communities.

    @ruud@lemmy.world Is there a federation issue?

    Edit: I think this is a problem with all communities on lemmy.ml. I'm new to the fediverse concept, but the issue seems to specifically be with them.

  • Anyone else listening to Hard Fork from NYT?

    The future is already here.

    Hard Fork

    Lots of AI news, which suits me.

    While UnderUnderstood feels more like the spiritual successor to Gimlet's Reply All, the co-hosts of Hard Fork (Kevin Roose and Casey Newton) banter in a way that reminds me of P. J. Vogt and Alex Goldman.

  • Advice needed: Accidentally summoned a demon while trying to make mac & cheese

    So I was hungry and bored and a little drunk and decided to make some homemade macaroni and cheese. I found this old leather-bound book that looked like a cookbook, so I opened it and followed a recipe. Turns out it was like the Necronomicon or something and I summoned a demon. He’s sitting on my couch right now being a dick, watching Netflix and drinking my beer. He won't leave and says he's going to take my soul unless I make him the world's best mac and cheese. I have a box of crappy dollar store instant mac in the pantry. What can I do to make it better? I don't have any crazy ingredients like fancy cheeses or truffles. Help.

    Motorola Defy vs Garmin InReach
  • No plans to go back :)

    I notice you're really putting in the work getting this community started. Thanks for that!

  • Blocked Instances announcements/appeals?
  • the instance you bring up in particular is essentially a spambot.

    I'd like to understand your perspective here. This and this are examples of subreddits I miss which have no active Lemmy equivalent. How is their existence at Lemmit.Online spam?

  • Blocked Instances announcements/appeals?
  • I think that's why admin posts to lemmyworld would make sense.

    "This week we blocked these 5 instances for these reasons and these 2 external communities for these other reasons. Discussions are open here until we lock the thread."

  • Blocked Instances announcements/appeals?

    My question is not about defederating from Exploding Heads. I support that well-documented decision by the admins.

    However I have noticed the Blocked Instances list at https://lemmy.world/instances growing, and I was wondering if and where the admins are announcing new blocks. (I thought https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld but there doesn't appear to be consistency there.)

    Specifically I was curious about Lemmit.Online which is now blocked. I searched c/lemmyworld and c/general for announcements or discussions about that instance being blocked, but found nothing.

    I think I understand the admins' justification (though I don't agree with it) but would like to know why the "nuclear option" of defederation was chosen.

    I believe (but don't know since there was no announcement) that it was a reaction to Lemmit.Online communities appearing too frequently at the top of "All" + "Hot."

    Lemmit.Online exists solely to copy posts from requested subreddits. I've found it really helpful to monitor all my small population subreddits, where there is not yet a viable Lemmy community (not just where someone started a community but a useful one with active members and equivalent posts.) In most cases I'm happy with the links being shared, and don't need to click through to Reddit for the discussions.

    Since Lemmit.Online communities are just copies of subreddit posts, though, I do understand folks not wanting to see them at the top of "All." But doesn't almost everyone move to "Subscribed" pretty quickly? Or can't it be a teaching moment to understand how to block a community as an individual user if you don't want to see a Lemmit.Online community in "All?" I also think the admins have the ability to block individual communities, so if it's a matter of specific noisy Lemmit.Online communities with established Lemmy equivalents then why not block only those communities rather than the entire instance?

    I mean, I don't like meme posts. I ignore them if browsing "All" and I don't subscribe to those communities. If I really, really dislike seeing them in "All" then I have the choice to block those communities. Problem solved for me without removing the ability for anyone in the instance who does like them to see them.

    But Lemmy.World defederating Lemmit.Online removes the ability for those of us who found those communities useful to make our own choice. I'd like to better understand the admins' decision to defederate the entire instance, and if we users have the option to appeal (or at least discuss) the decision.

    tl;dr

    • Do admins post announcements explaining defederations, and where?
    • Is there an appeal process? If not, should there be?

    Jerboa currently unusable for other people?
  • This is being discussed in https://lemmy.world/c/jerboa@lemmy.ml too. You might want to check out that Community.

  • Help installing Lemmy & Wefwef on Synology
  • Thanks. My job's gotten busier since I bought my DS412+ and it's been sitting virtually unused for awhile. I'm hoping someone can provide directions that are just a step above "click to install" because I'm (too busy/too lazy/too clueless <-- pick one) to DIY it.

  • Help installing Lemmy & Wefwef on Synology

    Are there any Synology users who might be able to write up step-by-step instructions for installing Lemmy (maybe using Lemmy-Easy-Deploy) and Wefwef on a Synology DS412+ with Docker and Portainer?

    Bonus points for configuration instructions using non-standard ports and DuckDNS dynamic DNS.

    Google Pixel 8 leak points to deskop mode support
  • I think we'll probably end up with Gen 1 of Google's Samsung Dex competitor, but "ChromeOS-mode" would be a welcome surprise.

  • How many apps for Lemmy are being developed or planned at the moment for Android?
  • Boost user, too. There's !boostforlemmy@lemmy.world modded by the dev, but my understanding is that they have no current plans for supporting Lemmy.

  • What is Kbin?
  • Very helpful. Thanks!

  • Convince me: Backpacking Bidets

    I'm mostly a day-hiker. I'd rather hike farther than carry more.

    I'm slowly Passage-hiking the Arizona Trail, and there are stretches where overnights will be unavoidable.

    I'm not going to cut down my toothbrush, but I do want to carry as little as possible.

    I hear positive things about backpacking bidets, but the concept seems (to put it delicately) "optimistic" to me.

    I may attempt the "try it afterwards in your shower at home" advice I've seen elsewhere, but that seems...gross.

    Am I missing something, or is my risk tolerance misaligned with the reality of roughing it?

    What is Kbin?
  • Can you elaborate?

    I read that Kbin defederated with Lemmy because it couldn't initially handle the influx of new users migrating from Reddit, but that it has federated again.

    So is it a Lemmy instance, like Beehaw?

    I know that Kbin doesn't use communities ("/c/") but uses magazines ("/m/") so I thought it was different.

    I also read that there was some new way to post to Lemmy from Mastadon, but I thought those were different, like Reddit and Twitter. But they both rely on something called "ActivityPub"?

    So is Kbin similar to Lemmy (by being Reddit-like), but distinct like Mastadon (which is Twitter-like)?

    I didn't have a Twitter account, but was a heavy Reddit user. I don't have a Mastadon account, but I'm liking Lemmy. However I have some FOMO about Kbin because I don't understand how it all works together.

  • Dan Stevens Replaces Justin Roiland in Hulu’s ‘Solar Opposites’
  • True, but the writer's room is the real star of R&M and it's been reported that Roiland stopped collaborating there years ago. Hopefully it'll only be disconcerting for a minute or two, but Solar Opposites being first to have a clip out could make it harder for R&M to pull off "<Belch.> I just sound different now! Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!" without looking like a copycat.

    A Bookmarklet to search Lemmy for your Subreddits
  • Remember to modify var instance = "lemmy.world"; to var instance = "lemm.ee"; for your Lemmy instance.

  • A Bookmarklet to search Lemmy for your Subreddits

    In case it helps anyone else, here's a little bookmarklet I created using ChatGPT which performs the chore of searching your chosen Lemmy instance for the names of subreddits to which you're subscribed.

    (Modify instance to your chosen Lemmy instance.)

    javascript:(function(){ if (window.location.href !== "https://www.reddit.com/subreddits") { alert("You must be on the reddit.com/subreddits page."); return; } else { var instance = "lemmy.world"; var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a'); for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) { if (links[i].href.indexOf('+') !== -1) { var url = links[i].href; var parameters = url.split('+'); var newUrl = ''; for (var j = 1; j < parameters.length; j++) { newUrl += 'https://' + instance + '/search/q/' + parameters[j] + '/type/Communities/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1\n'; } navigator.clipboard.writeText(newUrl).then(function() { alert("Copy operation successful! Paste results at openallurls.com (or other multiple URL opening service.)"); }, function() { alert("Copy operation unsuccessful!"); }); break; } } } })();

    I got the idea from this bookmarklet which copies your Lemmy subscriptions if you decide to change instances.

    I think it could be improved by providing links to something like https://lemmyverse.net/communities to search instead, but I couldn't figure out how to pass the subreddit name parameter in the Url.
