  • /c/Pics mod is going crazy removing posts for no good reason. Why?

    Jump

  • I disagree with this. You can see in many of his removals that he did not even give a reason, as there is none. Why did he remove the post about Luigi? He is certainly not a politician, nor is he a family member of one, afaik. What about the one of the blood of a backback of an Iranian girl? Is a backpack a politician? Does it represent politics? Are death children politics now?

    But more important than that, ALL of the posts that that mod remove had had over 100 comments. If you go to the pics sub now, there are 0 posts left with that many comments. He removed ALL the engagement. As it is, engagement is the one thing that Lemmy needs, to keep it going. That is the #1 thing we need, engagement. And that mod is just removing all of it.

    Pathetic. But whatever, I will touch some grass. If people are ok with having so much content and engagement deleted for no good reason, whatever. We are all used to it by now.

  • anyone here using or has recently used #matrix ?

    Jump

  • I tried using matrix yesterday. I really hate to bash open-source decentralized software but.. fucking hell, was it annoying. I tried 1 server/instance (nope.chat) that just wouldn't work. I created my account on the desktop, logged in. But then, when I tried to log in on my android, it woudln't work. I logged out, tried to log in on the desktop again and it wouldn't work. Password/Username incorrect. I use a password manager, so I am sure I was typing things correctly. That pissed me off right from the get go. It was linking me to some other website, and not nope.chat, which is a bit annoying and weird, for the average user, but whatever. I just gave up on that server.

    Then, I created an account in another instance/server. Cool, logged in. Worked on desktop, though I had to manually change the server in the element/browser-UI, even when I got linked there from the instance's page. Whatever. I logged in on Android as well, but immediately got a bunch of errors, asking me to reset my account. (?????). Whatever, I reset it and it worked fine.

    So now I do have a working account on matrix, but it is so fucking slow and clunky. Fucking hell. I hate this.

    On the other hand, I created, around the same time, an XMPP account. SO EASY. SO PERFORMANT. SO FAST. Night and day difference.

  • Loops is now part of the Fediverse!

  • I had no idea what Loops was. Nice I guess, though short form content is just not something with which I want to engage.

  • The goal of the community seems slightly different. And also the community name itself.

  • 100% agree that this would be a nice job for AI. I have no idea how to do that though. If anyone wants to create a Bot that does this, please do so and let me know! I will do whatever I need to do on my end, if anything, to allow it on !wheretopost@lemmy.world.

  • Slrpnk.net outage (resolved)

    Jump

  • We have been very transparent about that and documented that in the wiki which is linked in the sidebar. But it seems few people ever read the Wiki and having it integrated like it is with Piefed would probably help.

    Oh ya. I knew about that, and I am fine with that. Though I think having it behind a link is bad UI. People will not read it haha.. It should be presented on account creation, in my opinion. Just 1 sentence "This instance is ran on private hardware and may suffer some down time here and there" would suffice.

  • Slrpnk.net outage (resolved)

    Jump

  • Well, I got no reply and I didn't see anyone else in the "mods:" bit in the bottom of the sidebar on slrpnk.net. I understand that having more admins wouldn't help in this specific case, but it would help in others.

    Regardless, having a public lemmy instance only ran by 1 person is, in my opinion, a bad practice. And please know that I am not personally attacking you. I am just stating my thoughts. This time you were out on a work deployment. Next time you could be sick. The next time maybe a family member had an emergency and you had to help. And the next time maybe your house caught fire or whatever.

    Resilience and redundancy is extremely important in public lemmy instances. And SolarPunk is, in my opinion, all about community. There should be more (trustworthy) people with the same level of access as you do.

    Regarding the price and all that, maybe that is an interesting discussion to have with the slrpnk.net community? And it would also be good to let slrpnk.net users know how the instance is being ran, what hardware, where, etc, so users can be an educated decision on whether they want to see an instance or not? Maybe providing that info on the sidebar would be nice?

    But again, shit happens. Hopefully this serves as a learning event. If not, so much shit is going through the world, losing a lemmy instance is not something about which one should lose sleep.

    EDIT: I may be missremembering about the whole "something similar happened a few months ago and my question about new admins was ignored"... I think that might have been on mander.xyz and not slrpnk.net. I really can't fully remember, but I think it was mander.xyz after-all. Sorry! The rest of the post stands though!

  • Slrpnk.net outage (resolved)

    Jump

  • I am a slrpnk user. Oh well, shit happens. What makes me a bit sad was that a few months (?) ago something similar happened. Slrpnk.net was down for aa day or two? Don't remember the exact amount of time. What I do remember is asking if there was intention of adding a second admin and making the point that it would be good to create that sort of redundancy. I was ignored.

    Mid of july is basically 1 and a half months from now. Hopefully a new solarpunk instance emerges, one that is safer from such scenarios.

    Enjoy your vacation and don't stress too much! Shit happens.

  • Two reasons:

    • It is plastic. It will degrade into microplastics and will end up.. in places where it shouldn't. Water (from cleaning), inside of humans (and other animals) due to drinking water, breathing, etc.
    • They are much harder to clean and keep hygienic. They get smelly much faster. They smell worse within a workout and they are hard to clean between workouts.

  • I think people who claim that the UI/UX is fine are missing the point. It is fine to you, but it is not fine to whomever made the claim. And for every person that makes such claim, there are hundreds/thousands who think/feel the same but don't say anything.

    Lemmy, as a community and as a project, should seriously listen more to the opinion of newcomers.

  • Please, don't take this the wrong way, seriously:

    I find that quickstart entirely useless. How to create communities is already pretty self explanatory, as there is a button for "Create Community". The same goes for Search.

    I think an image/infographic with things like "how to link users?", "how to link communities?", is much more useful, as there are no quick ways to find that out, i.e., no buttons.

  • Is there some infographic or image that explains how lemmy works? It may get confusing for new people. Even myself, I have been sort of "out of" lemmy and I don't remember how tagging or linking instances works anymore. It would be nice to get an image that explains those things to just post around for new users..
