The wrong instance is in that Mention, so maybe there was an auto-complete error.

I go there for the post-episode TV discussions (though I don't log in). It can interesting to read people's theories for something like Severance, although the whole experience can end up being depressing (because of mod shenanigans, the over-use of spoiler syntax, and the dissonance / over-reaction created when some show that the hive-mind has already determined is the best thing ever has a duff episode)

They did yeah, but I think it was by accident than design (they delayed the original launch so they weren't directly up against 2 other big shows, and released all 3 eps at the same time to catch up with the original schedule). I've read that they're releasing 3 every week for Season 2, which should be awesome (hopefully).

Per the article, only the first 3 episodes are free on YouTube.

The whole season is now available on Hulu as well as Disney+ (they've done a similar thing before, where they also made it available via ABC).

Wordpress if that is counted as federated

It's an option for the blog owners to select, but it's more federated than Loops (which currently isn't federated at all). As a random example, here is a Wordpress blog post that was federated out to Mastodon, and then federated out to PieFed.

Do all filters have that 3 level system?

Yes - that Trump/Musk form is just a shortcut to setting up your own filter - the options on that form equate to 'hide completely', 'make semi-transparent' (so you can see the post, but it's faded out), or "don't set up a filter"

Also, do you know of an alternative front-end for Piefed?

There's the one I made (the one linked to by OpenStars), but I think the more promising development is that the Interstellar dev has made some progress supporting PieFed too (Interstellar is already the only app that supports both MBIN and Lemmy, and I like the idea of one app for 3 different platforms).

As a term, 'instance' is already baked into code, databases, and APIs.

If I wanted to use an API to block 'lemmy.world', for example, I'd call 'site/block' with the relevant 'instance_id'. That's already 2 different terms for the same thing ('site' and 'instance'), which isn't great, but adding 'provider' into the mix means you're now saying "if you want to block a 'provider', use the 'site' endpoint with the ID for the 'instance'", which is arguably worse.

Ah, no. Sadly not. It installed okay, but just presents a big white window when I ran it. The OS version is BigSur (the highest that machine will run).

I doubt it's an Issue you'll need to prioritise, 'cos others in my position have likely just installed Linux instead.

Looks great! Is there any info about what architecture / OS versions are supported for Mac? The only Apple hardware I have is a 12 year old MacBook Air (I realise I could just download it and find out, but that would involve me getting up off the sofa). Thanks.

Last I read, the admin who was a day late in paying Sav for the renewal was actually able to transfer the domain to a different registrar (PorkBun) before Sav's auction of the domain was complete. This maneuver was either something that Sav's auction designers hadn't anticipated, or the auction was compromised because the main bidder (j_s_) was a hexbear user who'd found a way to make unauthenticated bids.

At any rate, I don't think they paid thousands for it.

Awesome - I had hoped that the release schedule would fit with the show's structure, but I wasn't optimistic 'cos the streamers usually want more than a month's sign-up to view a season.

It'll be like getting a film a week, so hopefully there isn't too much 'previously on' gunk. I'm unlikely to be the only one who's planning to re-edit the eps into films anyway.

Am watching it for Aimee Lou Wood (the toughest foe a Walton Googins character has ever faced).

Not so bothered by the 'family of wankers', or the passive-aggressive bitchiness of Carrie Coon's gang, but we'll see. This show does the impressive trick of making unrelatable, unlikeable people entertaining.
