The last comma should have been a period. For some reason on that particular font the period showed up in the center of the line instead of at the bottom and it looked really weird.
Edit: for what it’s worth, the original meme had a comma too for some reason
Okay so it’s not just me. Wild
Au contraire. I think these fuckers breathe a little too much because I turned to stone lol
This would make a great first addition to /c/DisneyVacation
So first off, I am unaware of a kbin-specific magazine browser across all instances, so you will likely need to visit each kbin instance at https://fedidb.org/software/kbin to see what magazines they have you might be interested in. For comparison, Lemmy has https://browse.feddit.de/ if anyone reading this needs that.
Once you have the names of the magazines you would like to subscribe to, the easiest way I found was to just open a text file and create a bunch of lines with the following syntax:
https://[your instance]/c/[kbin magazine name]@[kbin instance]
So since you’re on lemmy.world, say you wanted to subscribe to gaming on kbin.social and firefox on fedia.io. You would sign into lemmy.world, paste in the following URLs, and click subscribe:
https://lemmy.world/c/gaming@kbin.social
https://lemmy.world/c/firefox@fedia.io
Do note that if you are the first person on your instance to try this, the URL will fail, and you will have to try again a bit later once your instance has had some time to make a copy of the magazine. Also, if you see a “Pending Subscription” message, in my experience, that does not resolve itself, and you will just need to try again a bit later and it will go through instantly.
If you are on a larger lemmy instance where someone has already done this legwork, odds are you can just search for them in the community browser on your particular instance. Using lemmy.world again, that would be https://lemmy.world/communities, where you can search for “gaming” and gaming@kbin.social is currently the eight result. If you search “firefox” it’s the third result.
That is some damning evidence that they really did defederate over effectively nothing. I don’t quite understand how the modlog works or how to filter it, so I’m glad you were able to research that and confirm because I was curious if there were a lot of records in there leading up to the defederation.
I just want to know why only some of the large communities were hit. My best guess so far from memory is lemmy.ml was struggling to stay online and federated during that time, and kbin.social had their Cloudflare DDOS protection enabled breaking federation so maybe they were not an immediate concern on the day the announcement was made. I’ve no clue why they have not since defederated with lemmy.ml and kbin.social since both are currently federating with everyone.
As far as refederating with Beehaw.org goes, lemmy.world is only defederated with one unrelated instance so we never actually stopped federating with them. It’s just a one way street stuck in time since we get no new content.
Ah I see. I’ve never heard the term PWA, but yeah I did that as well for lemmyworld on iOS. My one complaint is there doesn’t seem to be a way to refresh the “app”
I mean the beauty of the fediverse is you can have your cake and eat it too in this scenario. If someone wants to spin up an instance that’s just reposts that duplicate communities elsewhere, you could selectively subscribe to both or only the one without reposts.
Have you been paying attention to Reddit content for the past I don’t even know how many years? It’s all TikTok and twitter reposts, and before that it was 9gag and 4chan reposts. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what op is asking if the past is anything to go off of
Yeah I get it. Just seems a bit early, especially since beehaw.org just blocked lemmy.world so now we don’t have access to Technology, News, Chat, etc where some of these posts would have been better suited. We should be encouraging discussion on Lemmy anywhere and everywhere for as little of it as there is right now. It’s hard enough as a new user to find anything, let alone start subscribing to specific communities on another instance.
Can we hold off on this for a bit while things settle? I personally posted a story about investor concerns over Reddit’s blackout here because of the high visibility and because beehaw.org was blocking instances. Lo and behold they have blocked us so I guess it was a good call even though their Tech community would have been a better fit. I could have also made a new community here I suppose, but again, there’s no eyes on that.
Isn’t lemmy.world literally like 15 days old? Let’s not be too quick to turn this into a Discord server with 50 channels and 10 users. There’s nothing wrong with piling everything in one place when there’s barely any content to speak of anyways.
EDIT: I just created a new community to repost these locked posts in order of most comments:
Welcome to Lemmy.World General! This is a community for general discussion where you can get your bearings in the fediverse, discuss topics & ask questions that don’t seem to fit in any other community.
For server-specific announcements & questions, please see Lemmyworld, and if you’re really new to all this, check out the Newcomers community, but anything else? That’s what General’s for!
The voyager web app literally just got this feature today.
