I used to use the instances view in Liftoff for this, since that client has a really handy “View this on another instance” feature for both communities and posts, but lately that view as well as Liftoff in general has had some pretty serious stability issues for me, so here’s the question:...
I’m wondering if there’s any progress on the private communities front? Or any way it could be helped? At some point there was a suggestion that a user story of how it should work would be helpful - is that still the case?...
My previous account was on compuverse.uk, tho since about 1 week I cannot access the instance at all. I suppose either the hosting service destroyed it. The maintainer disappeared Or there are bigger issues about cloudflare routing or server issues....
I’ve made an open source tool for scheduling posts to Lemmy, you can find it at schedule.lemmings.world. It can be used by users from any instance and it can be self-hosted if you wish so!...
I recently encountered a situation where I tried to downvote a post from an instance that didn’t seem to have downvotes enabled. However, my vote didn’t affect the score, which made me question why the downvote button was even displayed in the first place. It felt like it was just baiting me into thinking I could downvote....
Maybe I’m misunderstanding how the Show Context link is meant to work, but I would think when you click Show Context, it should show the comment being replied to so you can see the…Well, context....
tl;dr: to reduce federation api calls and to reduce issues with defederation, maybe some instances should only be for communities with no user signups, and some instances should be only for user signups with no communities (you would have to make a post or PM to request the admin to make a community for you)...
I’m using my own instance. Is there a way to block the posts coming from other instances that are below a certain threshold? For example -3 upvotes. I don’t need to see them I trust the moderators of other instances to handle their own posts responsibly. As it is today half my Homescreen is full of -40 voted posts that might...
About 10 months ago I posted this thread saying that it would be useful for the fediverse to consider post once, share everywhere paradigms: lemmy.ml/post/641509...
I’ve wanted a badge that shows the instance uptime and couldn’t find any, so I created one. It’s available at uptime.lemmings.world/{your-domain}.svg and gets its data from fediverse.observer....
There are a couple of browser extensions for the other place that show you what subreddits a given URL are posted to. If you’re looking for discussion about a current link/page/site, it’s very handy. Also, if you’re submitting links, it’s helpful to show where a given link has already been submitted and when....
I’ve made an app that makes it possible to schedule a post in Lemmy at an arbitrary time. It’s available at schedule.lemmings.world and can be used by people from any instance....
I’m seeing strange behavior when I click on a post, then click the “back button” in my browser. Sometimes if I’m on the “subscribed” tab, click on an article, then press back, it seems to show me “all” or “local” posts. Sometimes it shows me a different list if I’m on the “all” tab, click on a post,...
Hi Lemmy. I tried to create a community today on lemmy.ml but nothing happened when i clicked the create button: a little wheel spin in the button and then nothing. I tried two different browsers and got the same results. Is lemmy.ml closed to new communities?
was looking forward to the scaled sort but I’m not happy with the implementation, it looks too much like the new sort. In fact I’ve seen the exact same posts when sorting by new and scaled. I wish scaled sort was a more balanced version of top that gives more weight to small communities but not so much as to only show small...
I know it’s just a far of dream but it’d be cool if someone found a way to pull it off. Not super experienced with federated media so I have no idea the logistics behind it but I just think it would be neat even if it’s a smaller board.
