For what it's worth, the upstream issue appears to be this one: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4120 And it seems like there is some vague interest in this being solved in the medium term feature. So let's not give up hope just yet.

An inbox delete would be enough as far as the user is concerned, it wouldn't need to be deleted on the server side. But e.g. some people send literal gore. Moderation is useful but understandably may often take a while, so until then there should be a way to get it out of sight.

Slrpnk and lemmy are great, and I understand they are volunteer driven. With this post I don't mean to be pushy, and I'm grateful for this place and the software, but I hope it's useful to point out where there might be trouble for users down the line:

So I might be missing something, but there seems to be no way to delete a private message, not even after reporting it. Given the nasty things some people may send just to mess with somebody, this seems like a dangerous omission to me that is at a high risk to lead to grief if not addressed at some point. Is there some bug tracker where perhaps this omission could be best pointed out?

My apologies if I'm missing something however. Perhaps I'm just too silly to see the button, it's happened before.

There's the "Fetch Community" button that's meant to work around this I think. But it seems to be broken.

 

I've read rumors in various places that another Pi 500 version at a separate price point with perhaps an SSD slot might be in the works. Also, obviously there would be another RAM tier to use, if there were ever to be a version targeting power users.

But does anybody know if anything concrete for these rumors ever showed up? Was there ever any confirmation whether such a different tier Pi 500 is even being thought about?

Sorry if there was news and I just missed it.

That worked, thank you!!

 

There seems to be some technical problem when trying to subscribe to other instances, unless it's simply me doing something wrong.

Here is what I tried to do:

  1. Open https://lemmy.ml/c/librewolf
  2. Click "Subscribe"
  3. Enter "slrpnk.net" and press "Fetch community"
  4. You should get redirected to https://slrpnk.net/activitypub/externalInteraction?uri=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.ml%2Fc%2Flibrewolf but for me that simply shows "Server error"

Did I do it the wrong way? It seems like there might be a bug here.

Is this spam? It looks a little like spam 👀

i tend to put my protagonists on at least one of the covers, so for my latest mage college book series here she is: https://bit.ly/45KWjnt (i blanked out the book title so this doesn't come across as advertising or something)

For what it's worth, this is a long rabbithole on the whole e2ee thing so just in short:

From what I gathered poking around in the past XMPP's OMEMO seems to have had shakier protocol design often leading to silently lost messages if you use multiple devices (I asked around among devs what it actually did and why, would take a while to explain) while Matrix usually has noisily lost messages so you can try to resend. So since that happened to me I've abandoned XMPP personally, I wouldn't know why these differences existed or whether it was fixed since then.

(Regarding group chats, I also think e2ee is still useful there, can limit leaks a little if you use history since joining and ban leakers if possible.)

hi i'm new! i would be interested in a matrix chat about climate stuff if there ever is any, xmpp seems a bit wonky with its encryption in comparison or it was when i last used it
