Seems interesting, though they're touting a lack of wall penetration as a feature and not a problem.

i dont like that.....

i hate this gov.

okay Google, how about this. I already pay for premium, but Im too lazy to disable my adblocker for just your site, can we just call it a draw and move on?

tw for my horrendous accent and dankpods impression

(yes the kbd is soldered to the hub)

The type-c port on hub is nonstandard so i used hot glue to cover it up and replaced the typec cable with otg cable that support charging.

Wow, ok! For anyone looking for a better Lemmy app, for both desktop and mobile, Liftoff seems to be a fantastic choice! Definitely already better than Jerboa is, despite some in-development quirks to be worked around temporarily.

If your "subscribed" feed is broken, set it to the subscribed feed for your instance, instead of "everything" and it should work as expected.

Check it out, it's quite good looking!

As someone who's never used Spotify I guess I don't know what I'm missing out on but I found it interesting all the same to compare them. It's just more economical to have YouTube premium with YouTube music added in for free!

If you're a Jerboa app user, there will be a little bit of mayhem today.

From my understanding:

• Jerboa 0.34 will only work on Lemmy 0.17.4
• Jerboa 0.35 will only work on Lemmy 0.18.0

pawb.social is currently on Lemmy 0.17.4.

Jerboa 0.35 was just released today, and will be propagating to app stores soon - if you update before pawb.social moves to 0.18.0, I think the app won't let you log in.

If pawb.social updates to 0.18.0, Jerboa will stop working until you update to 0.35

ljdawson has also created a community on lemmy.world (https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy) to discuss development, features, etc. Just a r/RedditSync has operated.

I'm excited to get the experience of Sync here on Fedi! Sync has been how I've experienced Reddit for years now, and I can't wait to see how this project goes.

This userscript is incredibly useful in helping you populate your instance with remote communities.

Whenever you click on a link that gives you a 404 because your instance does not know about a community yet, it will immediately reload your browser and search for it, fetching you that community and making it discoverable for the rest of the users.

This works extremely well with lemmyverse.net when you click on the "home" icon in the communities tab and set your home instance.

If you try to access a community on your local instance and it gives you a 404, this automatically takes you to your local instance's search instead and puts the community in for you.

Recommended to use with https://sh.itjust.works/post/33762](local instance redirect script) by @soy@lemmy.world

I started using Tampermonkey today, so dunno if this works with GreaseMonkey, but I assume it does.

var unknownLemmy =

    var splitUrl = location.href.split("/");
    var split2 = splitUrl[4].split("@");
    var instanceUrl = split2[1];
    var community = split2[0];
    var searchUrl =
        "https://" + splitUrl[2] + "/search/q/!" + community + "%40" + instanceUrl + "/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1";

    window.location.replace(searchUrl);
}

Interesting insight into Lemmy development.

I think I joined the Fediverse misunderstanding how it works. I went in under the belief that:

• Under the hood, everything is an ActivityPub post
• Lemmy, Mastodon, PixelFed, and PeerTube are "interfaces" or "views" for the underlying ActivityPub post
• All 4 can interact with eachother
• I only need 1 account

For the last point I found out that the answer is "yes...but actually no."

Based on the "ActivityPub Magic" thread (or Mastodon Post?), I see that Mastodon users can reply to the Lemmy thread (with some limitations) and follow Communities. Cool.

I see a Lemmy thread and a Mastodon post as serving 2 different purposes. Sometimes they overlap. But maybe I want to post something on my Mastodon timeline just for something general going on in my life that I don't necessarily want to post into a Lemmy community. Now let's say I started with a Lemmy account.

Unless I'm wrong, the only way to make that post would be to make a Mastodon account that's seperate from my existing Lemmy account.

I thought part of the beauty of the Fediverse was that someone could be following "me" and choose whatever "interface" they want. Instead it looks like they would be following "me@Lemmy", "me@Mastodon", "me@PixelFed", and "me@PeerTube".

And then there's the whole defederation of instances maybe requiring multiple accounts, but that's another topic. Now, to be clear I do see the use case of having multiple accounts for different instances (e.g. having a furry account and a general one).

Is there a roadmap for "merging" accounts between platforms? I understand that question might be more towards Lemmy/Mastodon/etc. developers than server admins, but just seeing if anyone here knows.

the purge already start....
