I fear we’re going the idiocracy route. Lower and lower intelligence of the population in general.

The removal of the custom thumbnail is refreshing. No more wired reactions with an arrow pointing at something.

I’m going to give this a try. The sponsorblock people have great ideas!

I’m realizing that a few weeks ago I wanted a lot of people to flock to Lemmy and away from Reddit. At this point I just don’t think about Reddit anymore and find myself hoping Lemmy doesn’t get too popular because of everything that comes with that (trolls, meme posters, bots)

There’s currently a bug with “hot” and “active” where old posts remain at the top. I don’t remember the details but it’s getting fixed in v.0.18 (which is already in release candidate 4).

There are two solutions until the fix is released:

• get your server admin to reboot the server everyone in a while. This seems to temporarily refresh the content.
• use “new” or “top day”. That’s what I’ve been doing.

I’m not too sure which story is true. I’ll stick to both sites as a reference to be safe.

I believe it’s related to privacyguides.org. The team behind it lost contact with the domain owner of privacytools.io and to continue the project needed to create a new domain.

I believe that’s the story if I recall correctly.

Also a Plex lifetime user. I tried jellyfin not too long ago to see what the fuss was all about. I had heard that they handled her tonemapping better.

The interface is different but more or less just as good as Plex. It’s definitely more for the person that likes to dive in the details of the config of their server. For example, you need to setup your own domain for external users to connect to. It’s not done automatically like on Plex.

The focus on your content vs the “free” content Plex shoves in our face is nice I must admit.

Just a question of preference. In the end I stuck it out with Plex… For now.

I’ve found CloudFlare tunnels to be really useful. You can restrict who can have access to your apps outside your nextwork. You can also leave it completely open if you want.

When Reddit said moderator tools were exempt from the API pricing, did they mention the tools would stay as is?

I’m assuming not since the mods are still protesting.

I’m out of the loop of the details regarding the impact on mod tools.

I can only imagine that 5his wasn’t a recent interview, but I know it’s not the case. He’s completely lost it. Very out of touch with what made Reddit Reddit.

My setup is running NPM and I can’t complain, but I’ll look into caddy as I’ve seen it mentioned a lot.

I saw it mentioned here, I likely won’t change on my setup until something breaks though. 😂

As a father of 2 the steamdeck has been amazing for me! It’s allowed me to get back into games for short sprints.

That said I’ve been revisiting:

• doom
• doom eternal (not so old)
• the Wolfenstein series
• days gone

I didn’t know Lemmy could run on arm architecture. Is your installation with docker?

They don’t automatically block you. Beehaw seems on the lookout of troublesome users more than other instances. When they notice a lot of those users are coming from the same instance, they just defederate it until better tools become available to moderate.

I’m still federated with both instances. I’m also the only user on my instance.

Yeah I agree that enough attention has been placed on Lemmy for it to pop in Redditors heads when they start thinking of other sites to go to. It won’t happen overnight but that’ll also give the Lemmy devs time to apply some fixes and add new features.

This is the way.

I’m curious about the mod tools. Is it possible to moderate a small to medium sized subreddit without those tools? To me, the mods are the glue behind it all. If a subreddit goes off the rails because of bot spam and toxic/hate posts, people will just go elsewhere.

So if mods stop moderating because they don’t have access to their tools, this will likely happen at one point or another.

Thanks! That list is much longer than I expected!

I’m not familiar with Nebula. Are known Youtubers on that platform?

This is great! Anything to make Lemmy adoption simpler and easier for newcomers.
