This is why he’ll win. Because Republicans live in an echo chamber where they think Biden is incompetent. If you look at the record he’s the best president since FDR.
Someone posted this over on Reddit right when it happened and I apparently saved it. I’m cleaning out my bookmarks and came across it. I hought you’d like to see why it’s good news that we found Lemmy....
I decided to set up my own instance to give me more control over my lemmy experience. But I had already subscribed to lots of communities on several other instances....
Just a little rant. When I first visited Lemmy Sites a couple of months ago it felt empty. Besides the really mainstream community pretty much everything else just felt empty....
Please for anyone reading, just be patient. Keep posting and commenting and it WILL grow. There are only like 1.2 million Lemmy users versus hundreds of millions of redditors.
If you follow the 90-9-1 rule, that leaves very few actual contributors and still Lemmy has a lot of good content daily. Just be patient and it will come.
I don’t think people really understand that reddit is an 18 year old product. Their original site was iterated on for 10 years before they stopped building on it.
Lemmy will get there and beyond. As the fediverse attracts more users, it will also attract more contributors. I’m starting to learn Rust myself in hopes I can contribute to the project at some point down the line.
I can’t find it now. The number that I saw was 1.09 million, but I can’t find the site I saw it on now. I think a bunch of them must be purged spam accounts maybe.
Me too, I have three of them now plus an old chromebook that I rooted and installed linux on when the price of a PI was skyhigh during the pandemic. The chromebook set me back $40. Installing PeppermintOS on it was pretty easy.
Just saw a post on reddit alternatives and there was a comment inviting users to laguna.chat. I went and checked it out and the trending communities list included, ‘jews did 911’, ‘killnirs’, ‘hitler was right’, and 'Fuck Nirs’. One of the user accounts was u/HangNi***rs....
In the old days, official reddit announcement posts were a little different. Spuds, or another high-level admin would reply to a comment. Dozens of users would then reply with something like “When are you going to ban r/the_donald.” The threads were massive and quickly became unwieldy, but they seemed organic....
I downloaded my entire reddit activity and have been going through it slowly, changing all my comments to links back to themselves. Today I got this:...
I came across today one of my own comments on Reddit with a search on duckduckgo. It was still intact. The problem is I used shreddit to randomise and delete the entire contents of my account. My account comments and posts all show empty on my account pages on reddit so there should be nothing....
This is more a function of how Reddit’s databases and listings work. Automated tools can’t find all of your content because of the limitations on listings. It’s really funny though that people are ascribing abilities to a company with a very low competency level.
Reddit has given us plenty of legitimate reasons. It’s disappointing seeing people fall for conspiracy theories. Reddit doesn’t care that you’ve deleted your comments. It really reveals something I think, and that is a self centered-ness that people have that reddit would find their comments so valuable that they would create a mechanism to restore them after deletion. People who propagate this conspiracy theory reveal more about themselves than anything else.
Reddit uses something called listings which contain 1000 items. If you have more than 1000 comments on your account, you will only ever be able to view the last 1000 of them on a page like that. If you delete 50 comments, the listing is now only 950, it does not refill.
The browser tab is blank, and unless I’m doing something wrong there is no Favicon set for Lemmy.World. I would hazard a guess that most of us have lots and lots of tabs open at any given time. Would it be possible to add an icon to help make it easier to locate lemmy.world tabs?
I see it there, in transferred, it shows service worker. Everything appears to be working. If I may, what did you have to tweak to make it work because I do have a lot of extensions and userscripts running.
I might have to look more into my state’s right to be forgotten law. I used PDS for about 2 weeks until no more zombie posts were in my profile (most resurrected by the opening of closed subs). I was cleaning out some gaming book marks and clicked on a reddit thread I’d kept and, lo and behold, I found myself in the...
The way listings work on reddit is very confusing to most users. I used to think that listings refilled once you removed things from them, but they don’t. If you have more than 1000 posts, comments, or whatever, you won’t ever see the 1001st thing.
I’ve noticed that there are a few communities that tend to dominate when viewing all. Some days it gets to where looking at all isn’t very different than just looking at [email protected] or [email protected]....
Thank you for this post. I was hoping I could ask you a couple of questions because I also had to make some modifications to get Lemmy up and running. I don’t have email yet because my isp blocks post 25 and I haven’t gotten around to requesting an unblock yet.
I see you’ve modified your hjson file to use gmail. The default config syntax for email is:
<span style="color:#323232;">email: {
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> smtp_server: "postfix:25"
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> smtp_from_address: "noreply@{{ domain }}"
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> tls_type: "none"
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> }```
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">My question is, can I just drop in your email syntax with my information and the instance will use gmail instead of the default?
</span>
On r/politicalhumor and r/madlads, the answer is yes. But you need subreddit karma to log mod actions. There is a bot running in those subs which facilitates it.
