How do I deal with "fractured" communities?
  • Yeah, that would be cool. Right now we only have 3 options: All, Local, or Subscribed. I'd love a submenu that let me generate an individualized feed based on multiple subscriptions that I grouped together, and also let me name & save these feeds.

  • Banned from Reddit after posting John Oliver
  • Fair warning: if you use a script or bot to edit comments, most of your subreddits will ban you for doing so. They apparently either have tools to detect this, or else the users left behind are sensitive to it and are reporting it.

    Source: I did this, and am now banned from my favorite communities on reddit.

    Upside: I don't care, because I'm not going back, anyway, and now most of my comments have been overwritten.

    Downside: The script I used missed editing TONS of comments, so I ended up editing and deleting hundreds of comments by hand anyway. (I commented a LOT, apparently! 🤣)

  • Beehaw defederating update - sh.itjust.works
  • Ohhhhh, that was an interesting nugget of information that I didn't previously understand. Thank you for sharing that.

    So, the only way to keep a bad actor registered in your instance from flaming in another one would be to revoke their account completely, then?

    Other servers probably need to be able to block individual users from posting anywhere on their instance if we don't want to end up as mostly disfederated, isolated servers.

  • Can we agree the empty rectangles next to post titles are ugly?
  • Me too! I'm just so happy to have found a home away from the old place.

    Having a little patience with developers who are suddenly dealing with a much larger user base than they had just a few weeks ago seems like the natural thing to do.

    I'm actually really impressed by how smoothly the lemmy.world node and Jerboa app are both working! I've experienced very few technical issues.

  • Smart Audiobook Player v 9.8.0 indicates all files are corrupt: SOLVED

    Recreated reddit post [OC]

    So, I had an issue with the new Smart Audiobook Player version when I installed it on a new(ish) (refurb) phone, and did manage to solve the problem but had already emailed the developer. His solution was so much more elegant than mine, so I'm posting it in case anyone else has the same problem. Also involved was the fact that I had loaded all my books to an external SD card. Here's his take on how to solve:

    The problem is that the system's External Storage component can lose its normal access to files on Samsung phones with Android 13.

    Please check the following: Go to Android Settings--Apps--menu--Special Access (or just search for 'Special Access' and choose Apps/Special Access from the results). Tap 'All Files Access'. Tap the three-dots menu and enable 'Show System Apps'. Ensure that the 'External Storage' app in the list is set to 'Allowed'.

    I also posted, as a comment, what I actually did that worked, and at least one other person said it helped, so here's that:

    >I tried all the things, emailed the developer, then tried one more thing and had to email right back, because I got it fixed! This is what I said: > >SOLVED: > >Well, I got lucky I guess that the very next thing I tried worked! > >*Settings > Apps > Options (three dots in upper right corner) > Reset app preferences * > >I'm a nut about turning off permissions, and thought that I might have somehow accidentally prevented SABP from being allowed to properly access the files even though it could find them and recognize them. I think that was the case! > >Sorry to have troubled you!

    I know there's not much here yet, but...

    I believe in the fediverse!

    I may have a couple of r|Audiobooks posts or comments that I will bring over before editing them into oblivion at reddit, and I strongly encourage everyone else to do the same.

    I know that there are years of knowledge and opinion represented at reddit, but we can create that here, too, if we all bring something, make something, post something, and encourage others to do so as well. :)

    Thank you, @audlock@lemmy.ml, for creating this space here!

    After the blackout...
  • Oh, no! I'm having such a good experience on Jerboa. I get little "time out" messages popping up now and then, but they don't affect anything unless I'm actively navigating. I can continue to scroll & read comments on the page I'm on without interruption.

    I also figure that the rapidly increasing user base is a challenge for developers, so I am more than willing to be patient while kinks get worked out, especially when the inconvenience factor is so unnoticeable (for me).
