I thought it was ebooks-only. I didn’t realize was for audiobooks also. Thanks!

Something Overseer-like for requesting audiobooks for Plex.

ChatGPT and I came up with this bookmarklet which I’m using until this is resolved.

You set your home instance, then just click it when on a post on another instance. It grabs the post title and the author, redirects to a post search of the title on your home instance, and copies the author to your clipboard to Ctrl-F if there are too many results.

You have to be pretty quick on the draw to be able to enable clipboard access when using it on a new instance for the first time. So it’s like a game, too.

javascript:(function(){
  let instance = "lemm.ee";
  const personListing = document.querySelector('.person-listing');
  const author = personListing.getAttribute('title');
  navigator.clipboard.writeText(author);
  alert("Post author copied to clipboard.\n\nCtrl-F + Crtl-V when redirected, if necessary.");
  var title = document.title;
  var lastDashIndex = title.lastIndexOf(" - ");
  if (lastDashIndex !== -1) {
    title = title.substr(0, lastDashIndex);
  }
  var encodedTitle = encodeURIComponent(title);
  let search = "https://" + instance + "/search?q=" + encodedTitle + "&type=Posts";
  window.location.href = search
})();

There’s a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.

Right now I’m using Liftoff.

You might want to check out https://github.com/amirzaidi/lemmy. I stumbled upon it. Beehaw defederated Lemmy.world (info.) This section on defederating may help you understand that if it’s unclear.

Most of us are also new to the Fediverse, but learning every day. Welcome!

TIL wasps swarm, and now I have a new fear.

According to this site wasps might swarm if their nest is disturbed, at a change of season, or to establish a new colony (like @fubo@lemmy.world said.)

I’ve seen this site suggested in posts like this:

I’m using the spoiler tag because elsewhere I’ve seen this warning about the site:

run by people from kiwifarms (a known bad actor on the fediverse).

I’m unfamiliar with “kiwifarms” but the site currently does has some offensive language at the bottom that’s associated with 4chan, so be warned.

That said, it appears to be the only site currently available to see which instances in the fediverse have blocked/defederated your instance. (The reverse of <instance domain>/instances, which only shows which instances your instance has blocked/defederated.)

A Google image search of the icon wasn’t super helpful, but did return a similar-looking image named “style” among the results.

Knowing that Liftoff is written in Flutter, I confirmed that it is called the “style” icon.

A search of the Liftoff code on GitHub for the “style” icon turned up a match with the comment:

// TODO: change styles?

So the answer is that it does nothing now, but appears like it might be used in the future to “change styles.” Maybe as a shortcut to the “Post Style” screen in “Settings.”
