loopy

Just when I think I have somewhat of an understanding of the fediverse, there becomes more questions. So, I am the moderator for !dadjokes@lemmy.world and I see many “boosted” posts. Does that occur any time there is a comment on that post from Lemmy, or has someone made another account on Mastadon that is using the same photos from the dadjokes Lemmy community?

I know back in the old country (blueit er redhat or whatever it was) there was a rule for waiting a year or some time before reposts were allowed again. Should there be something like that here?

On an unrelated note, I got my friend the other day with a zinger. They were recovering from surgery and said they were moving up their diet and the nurse was getting them a liquid menu. I said, “LIQUID MENU? HOW ARE YOU GONNA HOLD IT?” …I think I could hear eyes rolled over the phone.

I tried a lemmy.world account and lemm.ee account, each with the username and then the email. The accounts work fine on the Voyager web app, just not the native iOS app.

of when I handed my dad his 60th birthday card.

He told me, “You know one would have been enough.”

Does anyone know of a Fediverse alternative for Snapchat?

I know of Friendica, but it looks more like a Facebook. Not a Fediverse option, but so far Signal’s stories look to be the closest option I can find. Any input is appreciated.

I know customization comes after functionality on the priority list, but I would love a few color options in the Appearance settings to replace the blue. Purple, orange, and turquoise would be at the top of my list.

I prefer a dark background anyway, so the background would be less of a worry, but a graphite grey and beige would be nice eventually too.

Thanks to everyone that is working on this.

One community I mod is primarily for sharing images. I initially required uploading to services like Imgur or PostImages and post the link to Lemmy, to decrease hosting demand, but it’s much easier to simply upload it to Lemmy. Does it make sense to re-require uploading elsewhere? I don’t want to contribute to hosting overload, but I’d like an easy user experience.

@ruud@lemmy.world, if you can weigh in, I would appreciate it too.
