More so ‘other Fediverse socials’.

Here’s an example on PieFed, that’s a PixelFed user tagging their photos with ‘dailyphoto’ and then sharing via a.gup.pe on Mastodon: https://piefed.social/tag/dailyphoto

Sorry. That’s my bot. There’s comments in the latest post it made about why it died (the SD card on which it was running went read-only). If it’s not pissing it down, and the thought of it all doesn’t seem overwhelming, I’ll mooch into town and see if any cheapie shops are selling 'em.

You shouldn’t read too much into being banned from 50 communities - it’s just a fudgy workaround for being banned from the instance.

If you want to read up on people’s objections, there’s load of comments at https://lemmy.world/post/18805474 and the GitHub Issue it links to at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4967

I’m not personally in favour of ideas about voting privacy (I think it’s a bit anti-Fediverse and hampers backfilling), but those who disagree tend to feel more strongly about it than I do, so I try to avoid arguments about it.

I have a version of Thunder compiled for desktop, and it’s surprisingly easy to change the number of columns for Tablet Mode. There’s probably other places too, but the line I changed (from ‘2’ to ‘4’) is here

I realise you might not want to compile your own version, but it suggests that the developers could add ‘number of columns for tablet mode’ option relatively easily.

If you’re not seeing anything at https://lemmy.world/c/resist@fedia.io it’ll be due to a setting on your account (view the link when logged out to confirm). There’s loads there when I visited it.

diode.zone seems kaput. Andy Balaam (who used to use it) has moved to https://video.infosec.exchange

Yeah, but the ones you’ll have access to are pretty dead:

!languagelearning@lemmy.world
!languagelearning@sopuli.xyz
!french@lemmy.world

The most active is on hexbear, which I think your instance is defed’d from
!languagelearning@hexbear.net

If you don’t want to resurrect an existing community, you can create new ones by accessing Lemmy with a browser (not an app), and clicking ‘Create Community’ at the top of the screen.

Not real, no.

The top ones I’m aware of are Veronica Explains and The Linux Experiment.

I also like ctrl-alt-rees

I cry quite easily, so a small sample of films that have made my eyes misty are:

The Remarkable Life of Ibelin
Bridge to Terabithia
A Monster Calls

There’s a reply in that post from the mod. They locked it because it wasn’t an open-ended question. I imagine that the rule is in place to prevent this community from being filled by DAE-type posts.

The 4K Blu-ray remux of Andor Season 1 is 230 GB. This new government might be shutting down the internet, but I doubt that they’re monsters, and so surely wouldn’t expect me to re-watch it in any lower quality. Fortunately, I’ve worked out that the Aldanhi arc and the last 2 episodes are 102 GB, so it should be manageable if some recaps are cut.

A fair bit of Mastodon content doesn’t fit well on Lemmy. One mundane technical reason is that their posts don’t always split up well into the post title / post body that Lemmy expects. A cultural reason is that Mastodon users have a much higher tolerance for other users promoting things like their patreon than Lemmy users do. Even if the posts split well, and is content that Lemmy would like, bringing in the replies to it opens up a spam vector.

Lemmy let’s you impersonate other users. I used to do that with https://lemmy.world/c/tails@lemmon.website, but stopped because the above-mentioned reasons made it tricky to automate (and because I got bored with it)

For movies and shows to a VPS, I’d install a command-line IRC client (like weechat) and get stuff using XDCC.

I used to have a bot that uploaded stuff to Google drive and mega for plebs on Reddit to download, and that what the bot used to get the content in the first place.

Just matrix.org, like some kind of pleb.

I only have an account so I could join in one room, and that’s the server that the room was on, so I decided to keep things simple.

There was a post relating to this the other day: Some explicitly single-user ActivityPub software to check out

Last time that happened to me, it was because the ‘name’ I was using was too long (I removed some characters and it worked). There isn’t the same limitation for the ‘display name’ field though.

Well, there’s the The 90-9-1 Rule for Participation Inequality in Social Media and Online Communities, which suggests:

Summary: In most online communities, 90% of users are lurkers who never contribute, 9% of users contribute a little, and 1% of users account for almost all the action.

So whatever number you’re looking for, it’s 1% of that. Not that subscriber count means much, especially for older communities that have 10’s of thousands of subscribers who aren’t even using the platform any more.

There are instances like https://soccer.forum
https://nba.space
https://nfl.community

The communities aren’t super-active because the idea is that they’re remote-only, but that means they don’t get the benefit that comes from local users browsing their local feed.
