No settings page (as far as I’m aware), but you can use the API to get everything (posts, comments, etc):

step 1: get login token -

curl --request POST \
     --url https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user/login \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '
{
  "username_or_email": "2br02b",
  "password": "YOUR-PASSWORD"
}
'

step 2: use login token (big long string starting with ‘ey’) to get data -

curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user?username=2br02b&page=1' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR-JWT'

Increment page number until you have everything. source: https://lemmy.readme.io/reference/get_user

Voyager has a setting for “No subscribed in All/Local” that does this. It’s better on than off, obviously, but it doesn’t turn All or Local into some kind of goldmine.

I get the sense that, unless you’re willing to do it yourself, feature requests for Lemmy don’t have much chance of being realised.

Regarding the ‘Unresolved questions’ part, the ActivityPub activity for Reports is:

{
  "actor": "http://ds9.lemmy.ml/u/lemmy_alpha",
  "to": ["http://enterprise.lemmy.ml/c/main"],
  "audience": "http://enterprise.lemmy.ml/u/main",
  "object": "http://enterprise.lemmy.ml/post/7",
  "summary": "report this post",
  "type": "Flag",
  "id": "http://ds9.lemmy.ml/activities/flag/98b0933f-5e45-4a95-a15f-e0dc86361ba4"
}

From this page. I imagine it’s up to lemmy where this actually gets sent (in the sense that if a community has 1 moderator, it goes to 1 inbox, but if it has 2 moderators, it goes to 2 inboxes).

I think that’s just a fun title. I searched for London, UK when it was set for 750 million years ago and it said something about the land not being there for it yet. As advised, I changed to a more ‘recent’ year and it came up.

Can confirm. Just looked at Boost and there they all are. Pretty neat. (Boost is the only app I’ve seen that notifies you of comments too)

In Lemmy terms they’re at ‘RequireApplication’. Open is completely open. PixelFed have automated something that lemmy.world did for feddit.nl a while ago - defederate from them until they changed their application policy.

Manual approval isn’t the only alternative to Open Registration - the main one involves requiring an email address, and/or solving a captcha

It’s not a one-click solution, but lemmy admins can check other instance’s registration policy. e.g.
curl https://lemmy.world/api/v3/site | jq -r .site_view.local_site.registration_mode

Other Fediverse apps will reveal it in different ways of course. Nothing to stop an instance that was set up just for spam from lying about it of course.

It’s me deciding. Recommendations for interesting people on Mastodon to follow are welcome (either in this post, or the sticky ‘About this community’ post).

Mmmm. It’s the instance that people are on on that’s doing (or not doing) much of the work there. If you comment on a post, the instance will send 1 copy to me (who’s responsible for federating it out to other Lemmy instances) and 1 copy to Mastodon for the post’s author.

If you reply to a Lemmy comment, it doesn’t send it to Mastodon because it’s not for the author (in much the same way that you don’t get replies to replies in your inbox if you’re the OP of a Lemmy post). For local posts, both Mastodon and Lemmy show the local comment tree, but neither can show every Fediverse interaction because they never hear about them.

Likewise, if you reply to a Mastodon comment, your instance will send it to the comment author, but not the post author, so won’t appear anywhere under their post.

As for Mastodon comments on Lemmy … it depends. I follow some accounts, so when I post them to Lemmy, top-level comments come through automatically (again, though, I never hear about replies to replies). Other content is just stuff I’ve seen and grabbed. I often post the existing replies, but not if they’ve turned Authorized Fetch on, and I don’t typically go back and check for more later.

They can, yes. The lemmy instance that a particular user is on handles that. This community is mostly about getting the posts and comments into lemmy in the first place.

Lol, no. I’ve decided that they should be exclusively referred to as Tails OS (they’ve yet to formally agree).

The name comes it being a Community that follows People (so flipping the usual relationship in a heads/tails kinda way, but also tail as a synonym for follow).

Not yet, no.

I’ve seen this happen occasionally, but it doesn’t always look great, and relies on them having heard of Lemmy in the first place, obvs.

Suggested setting: give up after X number of days if no real person from that instance subscribes. Whoever added the community is free to try again.

Replayed Uncharted 4 for the millionth time. Now on The Lost Legacy. Not enjoying it as much (it’s harder, for one thing). Interesting to see the developments that would go into The Last of Us 2 though (e.g. experiments with more open-world levels, and the attempt to redeem a character that’s previously been portrayed as a villain).

I’m now privileged to have seen my reward - only for 60 seconds though obvs. An evil version of this site would offer a gif that lasts 70 seconds …

I think it’s difficult to know where we really are in the release cycle for this console, as it’s been disrupted so much by initial unavailability and COVID. Normally, we’d be due a Pro version this year, but it could be this year, it could be next year, it could be never.

Last generation I was happy with a standard PS4 until I played Control, and could see that it was struggling. I’m not sure there’s any PS5 games that are known to stress the hardware, and would do anything with the extra resources.

I’d buy one now if I were you. Worse case scenario: you’ll want to trade it in for an upgrade in a year or two.

For anyone else wondering, btw, it’s because lemmy expects all ‘id’ fields to be unique, so it would error if the inner object actually was a copy of the original vote.
