Why YSK: because people often treat sunburns like a minor thing when they can actually have very serious consequences, affect your health and ruin your holidays.

I had it once and it was really bad. Left me traumatized regarding sunburns.

Adding new communities is a bit of a pain due to having to copy and paste the links into the search page.

I was thinking it would be much easier if one could have a button on lemmyverse.net or browse.feddit.de next to the name of the community to open the community in your instance's search page.

Example url:

!community@instance.domain would open up in:

https://user.instance/search/q/!community%40instance.domain/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1

Where user.instance is a variable that every user can fill in themselves in the script or in some other way.

I hope this is possible. Thank you <3

Interesting insight into Lemmy development.

We had a <1 hour outage yesterday due to server problems and a minor 10m one today while upgrading to v0.17.4

I think the downtime might have knocked us off the list. Does anyone know what the uptime conditions are?

Thank you!

Well, furry is a big part of my life, but unfortunately I feel like I'm missing out on a lot by but expressing it more.

When I was a teen I loved the idea of wearing a collar and having furry posters all over the walls. And now that I'm an adult in his thirties I dress very vanilla and my home decorations are too. It's like one of those things you always want to do, but then you need to either negotiate with your partner or explain things... At which I'm very bad.

How does furryness manifest in your life?

This is going to be a marathon. Not a sprint. It'll take multiple years and many Lemmy improvements to kill Reddit.

What we can do however is raise awareness and even if things are slow and from time to time we have to use reddit for whatever reason, we might want to foster a soft pledge, commitment or intention of not posting any new content on reddit.

It does not matter if Reddit has millions of users if the actual content creators and skilled moderators are dropping off.

Calckey is a federated microblogging platform. More specifically it's a fork of misskey which itself is an alternative of Mastodon.

Calckey has a loooot of bells and whistles and is an example of how feature rich fediverse projects can be.

With the huge amount of eyes that are on Lemmy / kbin right now and the spite that Reddit is earning, it's a matter of time until we're spoiled with improvements and features and possibly even completely new interoperable projects.

It's only a matter of time and so much will change in the next year. This of us who are not developers need to continue creating content in the mean time, but I'm quite excited about the future.

EDIT: It needs to be both undetermined and English or you'll prevent lemmy users from replying to posts that have been marked as English

I've noticed that it's sometimes impossible to reply to messages sent by Mastodon users. That is unless you remember to specify your language when sending the comment / reply, which is difficult to realize because it's a tiny field in a row of many buttons.

I just discovered that this problem goes away completely if the community's language is set to undetermined.

Example (won't work):

• Mastodon user replies or creates a new post by mentioning the community
• In community, language is set to English
• Result: lemmy users can't reply unless they select "English" when writing he comment.

Example (will work):

• Mastodon user replies or creates a new post by mentioning the community
• In community, language is set to English
• Result: lemmy users can reply normally.

This is important because it's often better to create posts from Mastodon to improve discoverability and conversation. But it beats the purpose if lemmy users are not able to reply.

If the community language is set to English, lemmy users will be able to reply.

(As far as I know, the language the post is set to does not matter, though).

Here are some interesting takes on how Puritanism has harmed lgbtq+ spaces online and the internet in general.

Just found this post and had to share since it rings extremely true, at least with my perception of young furries on twitter, especially when they found out I have a feral 'sona.

Fortunately I deleted twitter.
