Yeah, take a look at the solution at the top of the post.

We’re constantly running out; but every fes years, we figure out a new way to extract more oil/make do with the addresses we currently have.
It’s a supply and demand situation. We run out of things not only when they are physically exhausted, but also when it’s not economically viable to find ways to make more. But when demand increases enough, it will eventually become economically viable again.
Local Only Communities
Local communities are an interesting concept, though I am concerned about unintended side effects. I have noticed many times that people from other instances chime in to meta-communities to provide some alternative viewpoints and context when instances are discussing interactions with the rest of the network. I worry that some will become too isolated/sheltered. But I suppose, in the end, that’s ultimately up to the individual instances to decide.
Lemmy can now federate with Wordpress, Discourse and NodeBB.
Increased federation capabilities is always awesome to see!
In order to improve interoperability with Mastodon and other microblogging platforms, Lemmy now automatically includes a hashtag with new posts. The hashtag is based on the community name, so posts to
/c/lemmy
will automatically have the hashtag#lemmy
. This makes Lemmy posts much easier to discover.
This is a clever solution. I think this is a good way to go about it.
RSS feeds now include post thumbnail and embedded images.Security
I really appreciate the continued attention given to keep RSS alive.
A security audit was recently performed on Lemmy.
Awesome! And congrats!
- Added Community
local_subscribers
count- Support for custom post thumbnail
- Indicate to user when they are banned from community
- Added alt_text for image posts
Great features for improving the polish and user experience on Lemmy!
Would you mind pointing out examples of them boycotting the software? From what I saw in their comment history, it was mostly them talking about moving away from centralization on lemmy.ml.
Windows -> Ubuntu -> Arch Linux
That only exports settings (general account config, saved posts and comments, blocked users, communities, and instances, etc.). That won’t export all of the user’s own posts and comments.
I don’t click on clickbait i’m absolutely sure it’s misleading or wrong.
Well, if you didn’t click on it, then you can’t be sure — it’s just a presumption.
If someone has a valid point, tone it way down, i don’t expect anything serious out of it.
How do you mean?
I like your idea of “natural selection” for OSS, but I’m not sure I understand the parallel that you are drawing between democracy and natural selection. Would you mind elaborating?
Is that a bad thing? Why is it a problem that you, personally, haven’t heard the argument before?
Correct…? I’m not sure what your point is.
It’s direct democracy
Maybe some projects, but that certainly can’t be said for all open source projects. Also note that “open source” in “open source software” is simply the license that makes it so. This idea of governance is more of a project issue than a software distribution issue.
I won’t watch this clickbait
Are you referring the title here on Lemmy (ported from YouTube), or are you referring to any video, in general, that uses this practice? If it’s the latter, why punish the creator? The need for clickbait is more of an environmental requirement for success created by YouTube. I can’t fault a creator for trying to succeed.
forks who succeed the prior are exactly what we call democracy.
Hm. Democracy, by definition, is rule by the majority. A smaller fork gradually becoming larger and more successful than the prior, thereby eating up a larger chunk of the market, is really more of an example of competition. The larger fork doesn’t have any say over the smaller forks. It is somewhat of an analogy to democracy, perhaps, in that people “vote with their feet” by moving to the fork that they want to succeed, but it breaks down in that you don’t have one, or the other — both can exist in tandem.
Hm, it depends on the context. Any open source project, or fork thereof would be an independent isolated instance with it’s own practices — e.g. authoritarian, anarchist, democratic, etc.
Thank you!
Thinkpad T460.
You’re welcome 😊
There’s already an issue open for this.
I’ve been using this for the past day, and it is a great app! It seems to cover exactly what I’m looking for, and it’s a pretty well designed app. Thank you for the recommendation!
I appreciate the inclusion of a CLI program! Personally, I am looking for something with a UI.
I was not aware that KDE Connect ran on Windows! This is great to hear for recommendations. Thanks for spreading awareness!
