  • Ça fait longtemps que c'est comme ça, mais aujourd'hui j'me suis décidé à demander : serait-ce possible d'utiliser une image de meilleure qualité s'il vous plaît ? 😅

  • I pay for Spotify for several reasons :

    1. Unlike Netflix & co. for movies/shows, the catalog size is satisfying on Spotify & co. for music ;
    2. Remote playback and volume control over Internet (branded "Connect") ;
    3. Contributing to creator revenue.
    4. Voice assistant compatibility ;

    Yet, I use a family subscription, which I share with strangers, because Spotify increase their prices often, and my wallet doesn't like that.

    Fun fact : when Spotify realizes someone's doing that and prevents new people from joining (which only happens when people join and leave a lot), creating a new account with a new family subscription (even with the same IP address, home address, username and bank card) and moving everyone to it works fine.

  • So do all banks, that's what Play Integrity Fix is for.

    (de-googled crDroid Android 15 user here).

  • In terms of bank, I recommend switching to one that won't block you for travelling, like Revolut

  • I can't believe store.kde.org is the one site I visit where a countdown to download remains 😭

  • I do have a server actually. How big is this store ? If they tell me they'll remove the countdown if I mirror it, I will.

  • This countdown is older than AI.

  • I'm arguing it's not legitimate to make the user endure a freaking countdown.

    The banner is fine. The additional click is fine. All nonprofits do it. But the countdown ? Hell no.

  • That doesn't legitimize a countdown à la adfly.

  • Have you done anything special

    Nope

    If you want to push forward with using Lemmy I can try to help you troubleshoot.

    Honestly, given everything you said, I don't think so. The documentation on "Lemmy as a blog" is just too incomplete.

    Thank you though, for your answers !

  • But if one uses search to fetch my article from their instance and comment on it, shouldn't my instance still receive the comment ?

    Because I don't really want to send content to instances, I just want the abovementioned scenario to work, basically the purpose I see in Lemmy as a blog is to enable readers to interact with me from their own instance, which solves the issue with CMS-powered blogs which whom people never interact with because of not wanting to create an account there.

    Thanks

  • Yes, I did see this one, it's the only one I ever seen, in fact

  • where are you hosted

    At Netcup, in Germany.

    Was your instance set up with a domain name that you have been using since the beginning

    Yes, and it's very fresh.

    Are you using Cloudflare or similar

    No and never.

    Remember your instance has to be publicly accessible to receive anything!

    Yes.

    see this showing the federation state of instances

    All numbers are at zero : https://phiresky.github.io/lemmy-federation-state/site?domain=blog.kaki87.net

    see this for showing which instances are having trouble with federation

    Hmm, how does that one work ?

  • I’ve seen people build custom frontends for Lemmy to make it look more like a blog.

    Oh, I couldn't find much of that ! Would you have links ?

  • So it's already better.

  • It's not the same code, so maybe the admin UI is more helpful ?

  • for maximum autonomy you might consider creating your own instance

    Indeed.

    In fact, I already created a Lemmy instance for this purpose, but it's not going well : apparently federation isn't working, and there aren't any tools available to determine what's wrong and how to fix it... So now I'm considering the alternative platform that is PieFed.

  • D'où vient cette citation, et quel est le contexte ?

  • Hé ben merde alors, c'était le meilleur client Lemmy.
