Or are mods still able to see them?

I uploaded the screenshot picturing the issue. If I'm not mistaken, the posts are from a year ago as well. I haven't found any bug reporting community when I looked up bug so pardon me for posting this here if it should go elsewhere.

Working on my first wrapper, Lemmy.py, a #Python wrapper for the #Lemmy API. @lemmy

Just curious how much it would cost to run an instance? Maybe with 1,000-10,000 users? Also are there any hosts that ya'll recommend? I am most familiar with Digital Ocean but DO may not be the best area to host an instance.

Apologizes if this is the wrong community to post this in. I am not sure where to find any info on pricing estimates

Over the last few days, it seems that filtering by Hot or Active just makes me see the same posts I've seen over the last few days (stealing memes meme and $4k fridge).

Filtering by New on Lemmy, however, is not the toxic filth that Reddit is, and generally gets the job done.

Unless I am doing something wrong, Hot and Active seem to not update enough / hide what I've already seen. I am doing my Subscribed, about 20 subs.

I left that tab open for a few hours and when I came back my laptop was really hot and the CPU fans kicked in.

I left that tab open for a few hours and when I came back my laptop's fans were loud and the CPU really hot. So I opened the task manager on Firefox and I find out that the tab spawned 53,202 threads.

Let's say I'm visiting lemmy.ml/post/1234, and I'd like to view the same post but under lemmy.world. is there a pattern or something I can do to do this?

EDIT: The script has been updated a few times. It now has new features. You should check it out again, even if you already have.

exactly what is says on the can. put in the multireddit URL of all your subs (explained in script), get a list of lemmy communities of the same name.

Even better if it was customizable.

Also generally I'd love if most features come with an option to turn them off. For example the pop-up of new replies. I can see that getting annoying really fast on very active accounts.

An idea that just occurred to me. I was looking for communities on machine learning to join, so I searched https://browse.feddit.de/ and found a bunch. They don't have much content but together they have at least 4 or 5 posts each, which adds up to a few posts, so I subscribed to all of them.

However, now I have no way of "grouping" them so that I can view posts of all communities in my feed related to the topic of machine learning.

I was wondering if some concept of "super communities" could be interesting for Lemmy, similar to "multireddits". People could curate their collection of favourite communities around a topic, over multiple instances, and users could easily subscribe and browse the whole bunch of them.

See thread from the reviewer here: https://hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/110550824230711531

They’ve apparently only shared it on some matrix room so far but will publish it.

You can read the comments in the thread for slightly more detail, but the essence of it is that lemmy (and especially kbin?) and too immature in terms of moderation tooling and shouldn’t really be opening themselves up to the public as anything more than an alpha test.

Some sort of response or discussion here makes sense, especially in light of Beehaw.org’s recent defederation from lemmy.world, because of, it seems, lemmy.world’s open signup policy and what beehaw find to be insufficient moderation tooling (see discussion here: https://lemmy.world/post/170911 or same but on lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.ml/post/1281130 )

My posts don’t seem to be appearing on mastodon.

See this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/1277519

And its view on mastodon (where it was created by a mastodon user): https://fosstodon.org/@infinimitsu/110549583572695199

Meanwhile federation to lemmy.world seems fine: https://lemmy.world/post/163816

Incidentally, all the other lemmy comments that appear to federate originate from lemmy.world. Is there a block?

I've gone a full week without Reddit and I'm realizing the sheer amount of time I wasted on that fucking site. I'm taking back control of my time, my mental real estate, and mindfulness. I don't need new content every single waking moment, checking the app multiple times a day. If I check Lemmy every other day, that SHOULD be the relationship I want with an app like this.

And if I'm really really bored, I'll check "All instances" and sort by New on Jerboa!

717
 
 

I have been finding a lot of great content by setting my view to "All" and sort type to "Hot" or even "Top Day". However, it is kind of infuriating how those modes automatically scroll with seemingly no way to disable it. Am I just missing an option somewhere or is there a known workaround for this? This is on the lemmy.ml web view.

Hello I am unable to log into lemmy.world at all via Safari. Once clicking log in, it just spins forever and I disabled all of the extensions and so on.

However, all other browsers work no problem, like Firefox, Edge or Chrome...

Anyone encountering similar issue with Safari? 🤔

Basically title - will anyone be able to see what I up- and downvoted?

720
 
 

I read that they "defederated"... What does this mean? And why did they do this? And what are the consequences?

Is there a way to find these communities across instances other than by waiting until a post appears?

723
 
 

I'm sure this has been asked and answered before but I can't find it.

How do I subscribe to a community from another instance? I read you just search communities with the url of the community you want to join, but that didn't work for me. Even with variations in formatting: !community@instance, for example.

Perhaps there should be a sticky somewhere that explains the slight complexities of the fediverse since it's clearly a bit foreign to most users. I've been on lemmy for over a year and I'm constantly discovering functionality I was unaware of thanks to all the new lemons coming in and asking questions.

Is there a way to automate community discovery across the federation?

I started my own lemmy but I'm finding I have to search for and subscribe manually for them to appear. Right now I'm the only person on my lemmy so its gonna be slow going till I grow my community.

Is there an automated way to do this?

Also, are there any good bot scripts for lemmy? I want to get some bots set up to create some daily posts automatically.

Might be a dumb question, but I mod a few subs and wanted to clarify something. If I block a random user on my account, will I see their posts in the communities I moderate? It dawned on me that I might be missing bad behavior because I can't see it.
