Lemmy

I see kbin.social mentioned here and there where lemmy is discussed. How are those two related? Are they linked up, or are those completely separate communities?

ok, so I get that there's a multitude of lemmy instances and they're not exchanging data, in the sense that if there's community jimbo on instance rambo, all comments are stored there.

so if the operator of rambo goes "man fuck this" and shuts it down, the posts/comments are gone? there's no way to replicate them or sync them or whatever?

if there's multiple jimbos on different instances is there some aggregation type of deal or do I have to subscribe to all the jimbos out there? and if I have something important to say about topic jimbo, I just spam/crosspost my idea to all the jimbos out there?

Would like to know if people are trying it and how well it's working.

I was served this page just now, it appears to be for a moderator or admin as there are some extra tools in the toolbar. After reloading this it went away and I couldn't make it happen again.

Possibly there are some caching settings that need adjusting? Thinking of the admin team on this tough day with tons of traffic thank you for your hard work.

You don't need to DELETE all your comments, you can edit them all. I used the PowerDeleteSuite. Set the options to delete my posts, but not delete my comments. I then had it edit my comments with a paragraph about Lemmy and moving to it.

This is a great way to advertise Lemmy, over the long term.

So far it's at a staggering 7500 comments edited. All advertising Lemmy.

So that's an option. Then it's done and reddit is behind me. Lemmy all the way.

I hope this helps

for legal reasons this is a joke

Can't get enough of this song.

I've saved my preferred sorting settings on my profile, but they don't seem to stick. Anyone knows when it might be resolved? Or am I missing something?

edit: Link provided by @Threen@aussie.zone for a bug report looking into the issue.

This is on the mobile web, hasn't happened so far on the desktop site but I haven't been using desktop as much. So, sometimes just randomly although more often when I'm sorting by new on all (federated), infinite random posts from months or even years ago will just start randomly showing up and scrolling infinitely.

We have Jerboa for Android and looks like mlem for iOS (idk how well that one is doing, not on iOS personally). I know some of the reddit 3rd party app creators were considering adding Lemmy to their apps, any updates on that?

Following @lemmy was a bad idea. It's literally every comment with subpar context. Which is fine, the mental models of twitter and reddit are different, after all, but it's not digestible from the stream as it's just an excessive amount of noise.

I can share the link of a post like https://lemmy.world/post/58535 but if I change the domain to lemmy.ml it links to a different post.

I understand that the post Id is local but, is there a way to generate a global link that contains the information about the server, community and post?

I think it will be useful to make mirror sites, index in Google, addons to redirect to your Lemmy server...

As per title, I do think this could be a pivoting factor on whether Lemmy (and other federated services) can reach critical mass.

Doing a simple search on major search engines would likely yield a Quora or Reddit result or more on the first page.

It's critical that Lemmy posts have that same kind of traction to attract a large enough user base.

That's just my observation.

I haven't tried embedding a video on Lemmy yet so I don't know exactly how well it works, but it would be nice if in addition to being able to embed videos from the standard video sources like YouTube, the Lemmy team made it so you could embed videos from other sources too like PeerTube and Odysee.

If a post body contains an unclosed HTML tag, it will be automatically closed it at the end of window.isoData and then all Javascript functionality disappears.

Should tags automatically be added to KBin and Lemmy posts?

Hashtags are the main way content is discoverable on Mastodon.

Meanwhile, most Lemmy and KBin groups focus on a particular topic. And there are hashtags that will be relevant to all (or most) discussions in the group.

So should those tags automatically be appended to posts from Lemmy and KBin?

Keen to hear your thoughts?

That was one of my favorite subreddits; would love to sub to something similar here.

Title. It would make it easier to browse if I could collapse threads like with reddit. If this is the wrong place to make feature request where can I go to make suggestions?

Management found out about organizing before we filed for an election

I won't name the company, but I'll say their outgoing CEO has been in the news quite a bit lying his billionaire mouth off to the Senate about union busting.

I was on the organizing committee and literally two days before we were going to file I was "separated". Since we hadn't filed yet, I wasnt protected.

I'm waiting for my final pay as well as a my 401k contributions to show up in snail mail while I figure out what I'm going to do.

In the meantime, I'm struggling bad. I got bills that need to be paid and food that needs to be bought. I take care of a family member who is in disability and cannot work.

Posting on Lemmy is my last resort, I've had no luck on mutual aid groups on Reddit or elsewhere. I can pay it back or forward when my check arrives.

Hey all,

Here is a amateur script that will add a "easy subscribe" button to the community subscription box that will automatically link you back to you home instance's search page that should make your adding remote communities "slightly" easier than the manual method. You will need a Javascript Injector addon for your browser. I am using "JS Injector" for firefox. Make sure to get an addon that supports allowing the script to run on all sites. This will only add the button on the communities main page (/c/ in the url). Make sure to change the homeInstance var to your home lemmy instance where your account is. If you find a bug or make it better... please fix it and update us. I never code in javascript... so this was all stack overflow searches.

~~You will have to refresh the community page once before the button appears. Something to do with the javascript injector addons not being able to run when lemmy's "client.js" script runs forever (live updater script I beleive). However, once your on a /c/ and refresh once that script doesn't run.~~ UPDATE: FIXED!

Remote Community:

Enjoy, I hope it is of use. Remember never run a script that you don't understand.

More than two million dip in user count?
