Probably not. It's fairly rare for those sorts of API endpoints to be covered by mobile apps.

TV shows and movies are already compressed. If you try to compress something that's already compressed, it typically ends up bigger if anything.

He's mentioned this before, but I've never been able to find an actual PixelFed Group (it doesn't appear to be the same thing as what they call Collections). I'll have another look when pixelfed.social enables them this weekend (but I suspect parsing titles for the posts will be a nightmare).

Also, 'smithereen' is tagged but I'm not sure of its status (all I found was 1 private instance run by the dev, federated with 1 "explicitly-free-speech" Akkoma instance).

Rimu has now added the option to ban users via the drop-down menu next to their comment.

It's maybe not a good idea to make it too easy to ban people who haven't created any content, as it's the kind of thing that often causes a lot of boring fedi-drama. Though I realise that there still might be other reasons why mods might want to search through the subscriber list.

I once did some office work for a tobacco company, where you were allowed to smoke at your desk. I don't smoke, but I had a few ciggies when I was there, because you realise that you've never really pointed at anything, until you've pointed at it with a cig in your hand. It's just a better way to point at stuff (I don't make the rules).

PieFed's repo is hosted by Codeberg - it's the right thing to do in many ways, but occasionally it's borderline unusable, and I get the sense that it misses out on potential contributors by not being on GitHub (projects there benefit from the network effect).

If they've made a post, there's an option to ban them in the 3-dots drop-down menu. If not, you should be able to find them in the 'subscribers' tab of the community settings ('ban' is in the Actions drop-down). If they've not made a post and they're not a subscriber, then I'm not sure.

That sounds like a better idea (when you're looking for them, you realise how many people don't actually cross-post stuff "properly").

The microwave is a fundamental part of the Make Tea -> Forget About Tea -> Reheat Tea cycle.

Also, I have to put the bag in first, because otherwise I've no idea how much room I need to leave for it (which you'd think I'd be able to eyeball by now, but apparently not).

That's definitely a case of "think of the title first, make the movie after", but when the title is as awesome as "Noah's Shark", I really can't blame them.

Imgur can also handle videos with audio. The main restriction with them is that the MP4s have to be less than a minute.

I'll embed one here, which may or may not work, depending on what you're using (if it doesn't embed, the post is here)

Oh, I see, thanks. I've not heard of this 'reddit' you speak of, but I know that Mastodon has that kind of thing. Neat!
