What's the moderation like on lemmy.click? (beehaw.org)
 

Hi all, I'm sure you've probably seen that Beehaw (my current home) has decided to defederate from half of Lemmy. I'm actually fine with that, more power to them, but it's not my personal preference so I'm looking for a new chiller home.

Since attitudes to moderation and when / if you'll defederate are basically the main thing differentiating servers at the moment, I wanted to ask what your plans are in that regard?

Just trying to avoid setting up all my subscriptions again on a new instance only to get into the exact same situation, I'm sure you understand! :D

Gotta be between this and top hat lemming. Does Lemmy do polls, yet? ๐Ÿค”

Am I the only one who used the native Reddit app? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I mostly used RiF, but installed the official app during a trip last year to do logistics with someone who was using the built in chat.

I don't tend to always have data on my phone, because WiFi is everywhere, and just add some when I'm going on a trip like this. I'd loaded up a fiver's worth the morning we left, which usually sees me through an entire month in these situations.

Woke up after the first night away to an alert that my data was all used up. And on further investigation, guess which app was the culprit? Just literally sitting there overnight while I was asleep, gobbling up a month's worth of data to do god knows what.

I uninstalled the app.

It was right in front of me!

Ok ngl I have tried the biscuit one. It smells amazing, so realistically biscuitty, but the taste is...questionable.

So if you're more into sniffing your drinks these could actually be a good shout.

I may have accidentally stayed up all night to watch the meltdown and am now dead. Worth it to be there for the moment /r/funny went offline though (at like 5am, omg I am too old for this sort of thing!)

Today is gonna be rough, I have to somehow perk up enough to record a YT video and seem like I'm happy about it.

I've seen people literally signing up here just to make like 50 empty communities and not post or comment on anything at all. Definitely a lot of folks just trying to stake some territory that they think will be valuable in the future.

Reddit refugees, has your favorite sub migrated already? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm hoping for some specific craft communities, but for now it makes sense to huddle together in [email protected]. We do love to show off pics of all our projects though so I expect it won't be too long before it makes sense to start splitting that up.

Are we doing Thursday complaints? Because I have a COMPLAINT. (beehaw.org)
 

I've been trying to get into a routine of going for a morning walk. It's not far, just basically climbing a hill near home, sitting down on a bench at the top pretending to enjoy the view but really trying not to pass out because I'm terribly unfit, then back down.

Well, guess what used to be in that patch of dirt? Yep, my bench.

Who suddenly took it away? No idea. For what purpose? Beats me.

Now I just have to defiantly sit on the grass next to it and dare anyone to comment.

Hmph.

What's grinding your gears today?

Hello! I'm an extremely small-time seller and tbh am looking to move away from Etsy anyway so not sure how much I can say here, but I thought I'd say hi anyway. Wow what an amazing contribution this is, well done me ๐Ÿ˜…

PSA: If you're patient enough you can get every Discworld book on Kindle for not much money at all in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'm with you there. Can't even remember the last time I saw a used DW book for sale, and plus my husband refuses to read anything in physical form these days (heathen) so if I'm ever gonna get him into these books it'll have to be the 99p Kindle versions!

PSA: If you're patient enough you can get every Discworld book on Kindle for not much money at all (www.amazon.co.uk)
 

Like probably most of you I do own at least the majority of the books in physical form. But sometimes it's just easier to read on Kindle.

Sadly they're about ยฃ5.99 each, which is absolutely worth it if you can afford it, but x41 books it really adds up.

The good news is, if you check regularly you'll find that one or two books go on sale at a time for as little as 99p. Personally I pick up anything that goes under ยฃ2, currently I think that's just Guards! Guards! but they change all the time.

If anyone knows what schedule they change on that would be useful info, atm I just have a reminder to check back every couple of weeks.

(link is to the UK page but I'm sure the same applies on other Amazon sites too)

What is your favourite Lemmy community, which is not on lemmy.ml? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm on Beehaw and managed to join this one ok. I think there's a delay when the first person tries to search for an instance, before it actually shows up in results. Not ideal but maybe try it again now?

How can I see all comments in a thread? (beehaw.org)
 

Hi, sorry if this is a stupid question I'm sure you're having to answer all kinds of ridiculous things with the influx of us newbies.

I'm finding that often I can't actually see most of the discussion in a thread while logged into my account. I'll see a thread with no comments, and be able to reply to it normally, but if I view that same thread in incognito mode suddenly I see all the other comments that are apparently invisible to me while logged in.

On Mastodon there are sometimes similar issues that can be got around by following users or searching specific toot URLs to help federate, but I have no idea what the equivalent action is on Lemmy.

Any pointers very welcome, thanks!
