It's maybe an idea to filter out communities with less than 10 posts.

When I tried it, it gave me a community with 1 post and no comments (there's a lot of dead communities on lemmy, so you might need to do something to increase the chance of an interesting response)

Linux apps:

Lemoa GTK client
Liftoff
Lemonade GTK4 client
NeonModem
Servitor

Of them, only Servitor is a command-line client. All the links are to GitHub though, I don't any have made their way to Debian repos.

No post yesterday and nothing for any Communities on lemmy.world today (looks kinda interesting without it though).

The dev at lemmyverse.net had to disable crawls of the site due to issues with its API responses.

There's activity on the lemmyverse github, but I couldn't tell you what it means (whether it just means we got data for today, or whether lemmy.world communities will start appearing again).

Just tried this on Sync, although lemmy.world itself was too flaky to let me reply on there (I think, sorry if this is a dupe).

During that brief wheel-spinning, Sync fetches a local version of an absolute link (a 'https' link to a Community or a post). This is very impressive in a way, and if all mobile apps and browser front-ends did this, we'd barely need the ! type links at all. As it is though, Sync has just casually reinvented a Fediverse concept that's been there since the beginning (which is a bit rude, although for posts definitely an improvement)

I don't doubt you - this is the first Luthen-meme I've seen I think.

It's tricky with what to do with niche communities, there's every chance that your subscribers are also Reddit migrants, so they'll have already seen whatever only-slightly-moldy crop you can dig up, but OC can be difficult to come up with.

Yet the ballpark-similar, barely-good-enough-to-get-by domestic box office grosses of “Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One” ($150 million), “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” ($170 million) and “Fast X” ($145 million) should be telling us something: that action, as a selling point, may have peaked, entering a period of overexposed exhaustion. Of all those franchises, the “M:I” films are the last ones that should be coasting on the coolness of a Fiat 500 zooming around Rome. Cruise and McQuarrie’s mission, should they choose to accept it, is to make this series fascinating again by remembering that the ultimate movie stunt is still the one that wows your brain.

I'm not sure that conclusion is supported. There's so much going on that's affecting the Box Office performance of films that aren't part of An Event, but a franchise no longer being to your individual taste probably isn't one of them.

You can't 'banglink' a post.

All you can do is provide an absolute link, for others to see in a kind of 'non-participation' mode. If they want to see a version they can interact with, it's up to them to find their instance's version of it - by searching for it manually, or automating the search via a browser script or by calling the LinkFixerBot.

Last time someone asked, the answer gave was because the orientation in the EXIF data is used.

I haven't spent much time with Tildes, but I noticed that they have least tried to address the problems with Reddit, rather than just be clone.

One example is putting the 'Add Comment' button at the very bottom of the screen, encouraging you to read existing comments before you make your own. Another is the use of labels, included 'noise' and 'malice', so that comments can be hidden from other users with a bit more nuance than a downvote, and 'exemplary' - which, if enough people use it - will promote a particularly insightful comment.

It does intrigue me, because I don't think the only issues with Reddit were ads and the actions of a pesky CEO.

Voyager is a mobile app for browsing Lemmy. It's inspired by the Apollo app people used to use for Reddit.

I think one of the reasons for changing the name was that 'wefwef' also featured in the big long string that a disgruntled lemmy.world user used in the description for about 4000 fake communities they created, so it complicated searches for the app and made a unhelpful association.

I've made about 40 posts in this Community. Only a few are directly nicked from Reddit (e.g. I wouldn't know about the prisons from the Return of the Jedi comic otherwise).

But I think the Top Post of All Time is still that of a sheep, so I'm not sure it's anything to be proud of.

Dude, this photo was on pics like a minute ago.

Although, Linda McCartney is actually a girl who has stayed the same age.
