That’s true, duplicate copies of the same book is perhaps the main pain on bookwyrm right now. On the other hand it also feels like a problem that devs must be aware of and are actively trying to figure out a solution for.

If you want fan translated chapters - Mangadex

for official translations - Mangasee

for both - Comick

if you want to download them you can either use tools like tachiyomi, hakuneko or fdm2 that allows you to ddl from most major sites or use nyaa if you are comfortable with torrenting.

It depended on how you used reddit. They were extremely fast, had no ads, trackers or javascript so were extremely privacy friendly. But they were read only so you couldn’t engage with the reddit content through them.

It’s an interesting thing to ponder and my opinion is that like many other things in life something being ‘OC’ is a spectrum rather than a binary thing.

If I apply a B&W filter on an image is that OC? Obviously not

But what if I make an artwork that’s formed by hundreds of smaller artworks, like this example? This definitely deserves the OC tag

AI art is also somewhere in that spectrum and even then it changes depending on how AI was used to make the art. Each person has a different line on the spectrum where things transition from non OC to OC, so the answer to this would be different for everyone.

Instance admins can setup a slur filter for their instance, which automatically removes that word from ever appearing on that particular instance.

If you want some method of making all filenames have same format, use advanced renamer

If you want something to automatically fetch metadata, use calibre or YAClibrary.

Yea some countries have strict piracy laws, that’s why using a VPN and following basic privacy becomes necessary while pirating.

Ahh yes this is one of my favorite quotes and one I think about a lot.

haxNode - Caught with malware

mentioned in FMHY’s unsafe list

This is probably outdated since feddit federates with us, I even joined some of their communities.

Right now it’s not even mastodon compatible let alone lemmy. There are some arguments on how federating with them will allow people to migrate to a more privacy respecting instance and still view threads content, and some users say this will allow them to still communicate with their friends who don’t want to switch away from threads.

So while we do lean towards defederating from it, it’s some months away before we need to actually decide and till then we are simply listening to and discussing both sides of the argument.

that community got famous so naturally will have more posts now, can’t do (or should) anything about it imo. Thanks for thinking about the instance though.

Correct me if I’m wrong but from what I’ve seen about it seems like a Mastodon/Twitter alternative? Lemmy really doesn’t have anything to do with it since we can’t even view mastodon posts here.

the brand and million of dollars for ads. They’ll push it as the main hub to browse mastodon content and then slowly try to make it a walled garden.

I don’t see them blocking any instance.

To be sure I subscibed to a community from there and it’s federating fine https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/boardgames@feddit.de

r/antiwork mods ‘making it work’ for a company like reddit for free is just the biggest irony tbh.

All I want is that top comments under posts are something insightful and related to the post, and not just the same one liner boring jokes that keep getting upvoted for some reason.
