Does anyone have an actual written/average-jerk changelog? As in the changes vs. fixes that will be visible to the average user?
The github Release is just all the tags... https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/releases/tag/0.18.0
Thank you. This really should be a user profile option. Here's hoping.
That's what this does:
[Some text here](/c/community@instance.here)
Tap the 'more' skinny hamburger menu just above below this message to 'view source' of the below:
blah blah blah links to asklemmy@lemmy.ml
Actually..better, here is one for an instance that is neither yours or the one you posted into:
I keep hitting the menu icon instead of the workspace icon when trying to switch to a different workspace.
Yeah yeah...get out your world's smallest violin. I am aware. 😜

From 3 other lemmy.ml federated lemmings I cannot fully subscribe to lemmy.ml communities. They all just stay in 'Subscription Pending'. It was pointed out that I would still get updates from these communities, and I decided to roll with it. BUT the thing is… you can't cross-post using the lemmy built in if not fully subscribed.
How long until this might be alleviated? Has lemmy.ml considered asking some communities to move to a less loaded lemmy? Seemingly every floss project seems to have homed here, and the subscription pending thing is getting problematic.
Thanks for all the hard work. I just want to know if it's known/being addressed.
While this does appear to be the case, without the subscription going through I cannot cross-post to pending communities.
I will look at it. Does indeed sound like my kind of place. Would be interesting to see some kind of lemmy 'moderator server' or some way to elevate users homed on other instances to moderator on local.
RE my own instance: I question my own longevity and financial stability is why I do not make my own. Also, tho I am a Network Engineer, I in no way trust my Security chops, and would be terrified with anything involving passwords and possibly an email address. I do have a local lemmy spun up just for the learns.
It's quite simple. Create a pocket account at https://getpocket.com
Add some articles or Web Serial chapters to your pocket (easier with the Save to Pocket extension)
Add the Pocket account to your Kobo.
Sync your kobo.
It's such an under advertised feature of the Kobo devices.
Better but personally I don't like creating accounts on the kobo, would rather do ond desktop: https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017763753-Use-the-Pocket-App-with-your-Kobo-eReader
Do any of you know of an instance that would be good for creating more hyper specific Literature/books communities? Not the big two lemmy.ml or lemmy.world or any that would get defederated here. Basically not any of the instances that are getting crushed ATM or are too unmoderated.
By specific, I mean fan communities for a specific author, series, genre etc.
I made the mistake of not investigating exactly how long The Wandering Inn is.
So...that is what and will be reading...seemingly forever. :-S
I love "Use native window" along with Ctrl-F11 for a windowed fullscreen experience. (this is especially nice in tiling windowed environments)
What's your secret lesser promoted feature of Vivaldi?
-Vimium (install and hit the letter 'f' key. You will immediately understand the appeal if you are a keyboard jockey)
-A Userscript handler (Violentmonkey)
-Dark Reader
-Save to Pocket
-Bitwarden
-Ublock if the browser doesn't have baked in Ad blocks.
I love reading the responses to this question.
I can't even subscribe to anything at lemmy.ml for past ~24 hours. Even before that it was touch and go.
Is this just me?
Try searching here: https://lemmyverse.net/communities
Keep in mind this lemmy is no longer federated with sh.itjust.works lemmy.ml or lemmy.world
You may need a backup/second home lemmy to subscribe to them.
Keep in mind both those instances are fairly overloaded. I believe lemmy.ml is actively telling people to go elsewhere and subscribe from there.
I am in the same boat. Installing...Dog help me.
I am trying to find an additional home base lemmy that I jive with that is a bit smaller and less likely to get crushed. While exploring I have found disparities in which foreign communities I can search for and find despite all being in the federated instance list. Most of the time I can’t find the community I know exists, or I do find and the User count is so wildly off that I question if I have found the correct one(I have).
It seems to me that the communities@foreignInstance are irregularly/periodically updated into a local cache. If I am correct can Lemmy servers at least expose ‘Last Update time’, ‘Next Update time’ and just general mean time between updates?
Thanks for the heads up. I have a bunch of pending subs here to both. How do I remove pending?
In response to your postscript: You can search here for other communities: https://browse.feddit.de and there may be other search, please let me know if you find them. That one is a bit slow to update. I used that to determine that there was no community yet for a topic. So I tried to get a feel for which lemmy might be best for it and created it there. The one I created was Trader Joe's Unofficial You can see I even added a note in the description about it being my first and trying to add a better/more mod.
TL;DR See if your community interest already exists anywhere, and if not, go create it!
Wait...the comment seems to indicate that the primary mod did not want to go dark, and an inactive mod came in and made it go dark. I understand being upset...but this does not seem like anything a Reddit admin would do?
So far so good. This is actually my first comment.
I had a hard time wrapping my head around how the federation worked. But figured out I just search here in communities only with my keywords. If I don't get a result here and https://browse.feddit.de then it means no community has yet been created anywhere.
I decided to make Beehaw my 'home' server after discovering it actually had an 'interview' that I jived with and a moderated/structured set of communities. As my first deeper 'test' of lemmy I have created my first community at lemmy.world since it seemed like the place for my random community about a grocery store chain: !traderjoes@lemmy.world
If I was making a specific tech/software related community I likely would have chosen lemmy.ml as that's where many other tech/software related projects have landed so far. But lemmy.world seemed the better choice for random.
Does this seem relatively close to be how I should handle things in the lemmyverse?
Edit: It would be nice if there was a user setting to open external links in new tabs.
