Lord of the Rings trilogy, after finishing The little Hobbit last week. Its the first time in years Im reading a book, and the last time I read those books 20 years ago. Its really so much better than the movies, knowing what the characters think or feel. And with so many small, important details which are left out of the movies.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
If you dont want to see those type of posts, then you can follow communities which dont include them. And block any instances/communities you dont like so they disappear from /all. You can also create your own community with your own rules, or your own instance. Neither of these things is difficult, they just need time and determination.
Ive been reading Lord of the Rings for some weeks now, and surprisingly it can be so much better than watching a movie. You actually know what the characters are thinking and feeling, instead of watching them from the outside. And there are so many small, important details which get completely glossed over in movies. It doesnt help that most new movies/series are boring, and Ive seemingly already watched every good movie or series in existence. Reading books is great.
4·24 hours agoKässpätzle are definitely a hidden gem.
On the other hand Sauerkraut is probably overrated. I like it but it’s not as commonly eaten as you may think.
7·10 days agoNo this only affects your local instance. So it doesnt affect how your communities are shown on other instances, but it lets you hide remote (or local) communities from All.
You can do this with
/api/v3/community/hide, or in the database by settingcommunity.hidden. Unfortunately this is not available from lemmy-ui yet.
3·11 days agoThe Lemmy backend doesnt treat this field as markdown, if you look at the Activitypub data (
curl -H "Accept: application/activity+json" https://lemmy.world/post/24241974 | jq) the title is federated as plaintext. Only lemmy-ui decides to render it as markdown for some reason.
17·11 days agoFunny, Mastodon just posted a similar thing about creating a foundation. But the problem is, the existence of a foundation does nothing to prevent billionaires from controlling social media. For billionaires its very easy to donate a few hundred thousand USD to the foundation and gain influence that way. I expect that Bluesky will be fine for the first years (maybe like early Twitter), but sooner or later the foundation will take decisions that the users dont like, and there is nothing they can do about it.
In my view, the only way to avoid influence from billionaires is to avoid any large centralized structures. In the Fediverse there are dozens of platforms and thousands of instances. Even if a billionaire were to take control over a couple of projects or large instances, people would create forks in a matter of days. Some admins would block these corrupted instances, and their users would barely notice that anything changed.
So Bluesky is just trying to repeat something that has already failed. The Fediverse is the future, but it will take a long time for most people to understand that.
It’s like Blaze says, we are already working towards version 0.20 now which will have various breaking changes. There will be an announcement a while before the final release to let developers know about the changes. Also the current api v3 will still be available for backwards compatibility.
51·25 days agoFor biggest protocol it’s also important to consider the number of instances. In that regard Activitypub is far ahead of everything else (Bluesky only consists of a single instance).
1·1 month agoWhat you list as disadvantages are exactly the main benefits of a federated wiki. For a contentious subject which can be interpreted in multiple ways, there should be multiple different articles which present these views. It can be possible to represent other viewpoints if they share a common root, but as soon as there is a fundamentally different understanding that breaks down.
Additionally, even a very large encyclopedia like Wikipedia cannot include all topics that users want to write about. For example when it comes to TV series, books or details about small places, it often doesnt meet the notability requirements and gets removed. So for these topics people need to use entirely separate platforms like Fandom (which are full of advertising). Ibis can allow all these topics to be present in a single network, accessible from a single user interface.
Sounds like you are familiar with this topic. I dont have time to work more on this particular aspect (there are lots of other tasks like comment support, federation with Lemmy, etc). But contributions are definitely welcome, preferably directly to
leptos_useso that others can benefit and its easier to maintain.
It uses the browser preference for light/dark theme by default. After you click the theme toggle on the site, it keeps using that chosen theme by storing it in a cookie.
Seems unlikely, but maybe it will happen in many years if Ibis shows that its possible and desirable.
This is correct, the changes on main branch will be released as 0.20 because there are lots of breaking changes now. We sometimes backport commits to 0.19.x, but only for minor changes or bug fixes.
Not sure really.
If there are still problems you should open a new issue. We cant leave issues open forever because they go stale and dont account for new features. By the way we are planning to implement multi-communities.
3·2 months agoIf you install with ansible it should be included by default. You can check if your nginx config contains the cache lines. There is also a line you can uncomment to see the cache status with each request.

Ive never met any person named “Lemmy”, nor seen it in any kind of movie. And the first time I heard about Lemmy the musicion was when I searched for Lemmy the software. For me it mostly sounds similar to cute little lemmings.
