Doh! Thanks you

Lemmy v0.18.0 Release in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Does anyone have an actual written/average-jerk changelog? As in the changes vs. fixes that will be visible to the average user?

The github Release is just all the tags... https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/releases/tag/0.18.0

With Lemmy.ml communities always 'Subscription Pending' I can't cross post. (beehaw.org)
 

From 3 other lemmy.ml federated lemmings I cannot fully subscribe to lemmy.ml communities. They all just stay in 'Subscription Pending'. It was pointed out that I would still get updates from these communities, and I decided to roll with it. BUT the thing is… you can't cross-post using the lemmy built in if not fully subscribed.

How long until this might be alleviated? Has lemmy.ml considered asking some communities to move to a less loaded lemmy? Seemingly every floss project seems to have homed here, and the subscription pending thing is getting problematic.

Thanks for all the hard work. I just want to know if it's known/being addressed.

Instance for Literature/Books specific communities? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I initially only found one kbin instance and it was getting crushed. I also found it not as intuitive (for me of course).

I will look at it. Does indeed sound like my kind of place. Would be interesting to see some kind of lemmy 'moderator server' or some way to elevate users homed on other instances to moderator on local.

RE my own instance: I question my own longevity and financial stability is why I do not make my own. Also, tho I am a Network Engineer, I in no way trust my Security chops, and would be terrified with anything involving passwords and possibly an email address. I do have a local lemmy spun up just for the learns.

That is definitely what I would prefer. But I want to take longevity into account: Lemmy's that already have an established donation pipeline, accept community creation, somewhat discerning federation and hopefully the hosting to deal for the long haul. It would be nice to know if there is a community migration method if an instance wants to go offline.

What are your favorite browser extensions? in c/[email protected]

It's quite simple. Create a pocket account at https://getpocket.com

Add some articles or Web Serial chapters to your pocket (easier with the Save to Pocket extension)

Add the Pocket account to your Kobo.

Sync your kobo.

It's such an under advertised feature of the Kobo devices.

Better but personally I don't like creating accounts on the kobo, would rather do on the desktop: https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017763753-Use-the-Pocket-App-with-your-Kobo-eReader

Instance for Literature/Books specific communities? (beehaw.org)
 

Do any of you know of an instance that would be good for creating more hyper specific Literature/books communities? Not the big two lemmy.ml or lemmy.world or any that would get defederated here. Basically not any of the instances that are getting crushed ATM or are too unmoderated.

By specific, I mean fan communities for a specific author, series, genre etc.

-Vimium (install and hit the letter 'f' key. You will immediately understand the appeal if you are a keyboard jockey)
-A Userscript handler (Violentmonkey)
-Dark Reader
-Save to Pocket (I have a Kobo ereader, this extension is a must for reading on the go)
-Bitwarden
-Ublock if the browser doesn't have baked in Ad blocks.

I love reading the responses to this question.

[SOLVED] Comment not showing up in lemmy.ml from Beehaw account in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can't even subscribe to anything at lemmy.ml for past ~24 hours. Even before that it was touch and go.

Is this just me?

is there an xbox community on here? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Try searching here: https://lemmyverse.net/communities Keep in mind this lemmy is no longer federated with lemmy.ml or lemmy.world You may need a backup/second home lemmy to subscribe to them.

Keep in mind both those instances are fairly overloaded. I believe lemmy.ml is actively telling people to go elsewhere and subscribe from there.

I have a confession to make... I code in Comic Sans in c/[email protected]

How do lemmings update their local list of communities@foreignInstance? (beehaw.org)
 

I am trying to find an additional home base lemmy that I jive with that is a bit smaller and less likely to get crushed. While exploring I have found disparities in which foreign communities I can search for and find despite all being in the federated instance list. Most of the time I can’t find the community I know exists, or I do find and the User count is so wildly off that I question if I have found the correct one(I have).

It seems to me that the communities@foreignInstance are irregularly/periodically updated into a local cache. If I am correct can Lemmy servers at least expose ‘Last Update time’, ‘Next Update time’ and just general mean time between updates?

ANNOUNCEMENT: defederating effective immediately from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works in c/[email protected]

Thanks for the heads up. I have a bunch of pending subs here to both. How do I remove pending?
