EDIT: Issue is fixed now, thank you.

I’m not sure anything from this instance is federating anywhere since this change.

Looking at activitypub, attempting to subscribe to something gets no reply (the screenshot below shows me trying with 3 different communities, followed by what’s expected to happen with a random community on another 0.19 instance)

Looking at an active community (like nuclear@feddit.nl), there’s been 6 posts in the past 2 days that aren’t showing up anywhere else (at <whatever_instance>/c/nuclear@feddit.nl)

Re: trending communities, if a link gives you this error:

The server returned this error: FetchError: invalid json response body at http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/post/list?community_name=exchristian%40lemmy.one&amp;page=1&amp;limit=20&amp;sort=New&amp;type_=All. This may be useful for admins and developers to diagnose and fix the error

that’s just a timeout that’s usually resolved by a refresh. It’ll happen more often with links from that list than elsewhere, because it’s more likely to provide links that no-one else on feddit.nl has visited before.

I just had a click around on the latest post, and that was the only error I got. If it’s not that though, please leave a comment. I’m on the same instance as you, so can investigate what the problem might be, and it’s my bot, so can try to fix it if need be.

I created an account here and a couple of communities, but it was sort of by accident that I’m here. At the time, join-lemmy referred to the Awesome Instances GitHub page, and that recommended feddit.nl, and said don’t overthink it, so I didn’t. If I had thought about it more, I would’ve joined up to feddit.uk I suppose (although that’s the instance that people are now concerned about now, ironically enough).

But given the .nl domain, maybe feddit.nl should just be a place for people to talk to one another in languages (other than English) that are popular in The Netherlands. For the focus to generally be specific to one location, and for Communities that other instances in the Fediverse don’t provide. (sort of like what I imagine feddit.it does for the people of Italy).

I’m fairly active on Lemmy (from accounts on endlesstalk.org and lemmy.world), but the content I really want to create is animated in some form - as a gif or a webp file. My efforts in this are being stymied by Lemmy, as it seems utterly determined to wreck them, either by half-arsing an unwanted transcode, or re-compressing something that’s already compressed. So, similar to others in this thread, but for completely different reasons, I’m waiting for the software itself to mature before I can fully unleash my genius on the world.

As for frontends, I’ve started using photon at lemmy.world. It’s really nice, especially for the aforementioned animated stuff. I’ve even started using phtn.app for browsing on my phone too. (There’s also Tesseract, a fork of photon that I’ve only seen at db0 and dubvee.org, but would like to play with.)

I wasn’t trying to give you a hard time about it - I was just providing a alternative version of this meme (that was posted here a while back) with a jokey bit of text.

For clarity though: you’re not forbidden from reposting memes from other sites. Original content is preferred, but none of us can deny the popularity of the classic stuff. There might be some guidelines coming about them, and when/if we get flairs, we’ll ask for them to be tagged, but that’s about it.

Hey there OP with the OC, thanks for playing along with today’s theme. If you ever have any other suggestions for a Wednesday Theme, please feel free to get in touch (typically with me, RHO, or WhoRoger). So far, we’ve had Droids, Aliens, Pirates, Expanded Universe, D+ TV, and Rhymes. Things will cycle around of course, but if there’s anything else you want to dedicate a day too, we’ll do what we can (by which I just mean: create a sticky; have a crack at it myself; and hope someone else does too, but it’s something, at least)

Example 3: Best, um, Discourse

Example 2: Best 'Ships

Example 1: Best Dialogue

NSFW’ing stuff isn’t a particularly y good way to hide spoilers, btw (it’s not the same as it is on Reddit)

It will (probably) blur the image for anyone who’s set their account to view NSFW, but the majority of members here just won’t see the post at all.

To the extent that spoiler tags are supported, it might be better to include images as an inline link, surrounded by spoiler tags.

Test:

I’ve always wondered why this scene from “New York, I Love You” is used for Star Wars stuff.

Please try to be a bit less sweary. If the comments get out of hand on these sorts of posts, then we have to start asking posters to tag stuff as NSFW, and then a lot less people will see them.

(edit re: downvotes, well this is the last time I’ll ever try to reason with anyone, I guess)

Hello. I moderate https://lemmynsfw.com/c/trendingcommunities. Can I be added? Thanks.

(I tried this 11 days ago, but it didn’t seem to go through, so trying again. Sorry if duped)

I mean, if you’re trying to post an obscure meme, the very least you could do is not feature a mountain that Anakin Skywalker himself didn’t obliquely refer to in Skyewalkers: A Clone Wars Story.

If my tears can’t cure me, I doubt they’d do much for you.

Well that’s certain an expansion … of the type of vocabulary usually seen in Star Wars.

This being the Top Post of All Time suggests that everyone likes the idea of being appreciative of new content more than actually being appreciative of new content.

What app you’re using is glitching. Evil_toastsupport doesn’t have 3k subscribers (it has 24)

It depends how you’re accessing Lemmy.
On the website, you can click on the 3 vertical dots near the post or comment, and chose ‘Block User’ from there.
On the Voyager app, you can click the user’s name, and then select it from the 3 horizontal dots.
It might be that whatever app you’re using doesn’t support it. Before Voyager did, I used to go into my Settings and then search for the user (e.g. [at] bot [at] lemmit [dot] online) in the ‘Blocks’ sections.

Interesting. My source is obviously anecdotal and from another country. Is it verified that Buffalo tribes always thought this vs. being influenced by European colonisers?

(I don’t want to fall into the trap of thinking older civilizations didn’t have the same gender hang-ups as modern ones.)

I heard from an Aboriginal tour guide that in native populations everyone just did the role they wanted / were good at, and it was only from the introduction of Christian missionaries that such a division of labour was encouraged.
