Invidious currently works for me, but reading in the Issue in their repo it seems there are still problems.

For whoever wants to try here's invidious instances list , just add /watch?v=0cTpTMl8kFY after one instance's link to get to the video.

Piped is currently generally broken: issue#2809

Other similar services had to patch too, because of changes on Youtube's side. So now Piped works only some of the times, until it will get updated.

EDIT: Typo.

I think it only counts the ones subscribed from your instance (kbin, or lemmy), the total count is only available in the community's main instance

Click on modlog at the bottom of the page, or just add "modlog" at the instance link.

For example for beehaw it would be https://beehaw.org/modlog

That doesn’t seem to have been brought up in the discussion prior to the defederation decision; maybe I missed something?

I think you are right, I tried to check the times and actions and posted in a comment below what I did find. TLDR, if I didn't get the times wrong from the modlog and the defederation post, and didn't misunderstand something, the whole child-like thing happened way past the admins discussing the community.

In the comment I've directly pinged the mod too, so in case if they want they can add to it.

Probably I'm getting this wrong but the moderator AKA @b9999998@lemmynsfw.com was appointed at Monday, July 24th, 2023 at 12:56:29 AM GMT+02:00. the message about the defederation happened at Monday, July 24th, 2023 at 12:07:55 AM GMT+02:00, AKA before he was a mod (and the whole incident has obviously happened before the public message).

So, if I've not misunderstood something from their messages in the lemmynsfw discussion, he was the one who added it.

If everything until this point is correct we can say that the inclusion of "child-like" should have happened after the whole kerfuffle, and only because it was copy pasted from the dictionary definition of the word "Adorable" - which imply it as a behavior, I think? - and he was in the process of getting feedback on it.

Did I get the times or something else wrong?

I kinda think Ivan is a random name

Hahahaha, that would be even better!

This is funny. In the email he wrote that the only way to contact the pullpush team is to do so using the forum and, at the same time, he added a really weird ToS agreement where if you are affiliated to Reddit in any way you set that the only possible arbitration of all the disputes need to pass through, I assume, him as a judge.

I'm both impressed and weirded out. Kudos for the creativity.

Until you have up and down votes there always will be someone making a tally.

The concept of Karma of other sites, to be fair, is not as simple as that. A lot of times the Karma is not a straight tally, there are algorithms to mitigate abuse (ex. Try to disregard mass voting, sudden influxes of votes, or known bots votes), or it is used to indirectly move the conversation to a preferred subject (ex. Making points obtained in some discussions or communities less valuable, or directly not considering them).

Luckily or not that kind of Karma is not present here, which basically makes the whole concept of total Karma pretty useless because you really can't trust the value to be kind of truthful and not manipulated.

Already with all the anti abuse, and it being calculated in a centralized platform, it was generally worthless. Here it is completely worthless. People should just be reminded of its real nature of an easily gamed system, and that it is not what they were used to.

We can only hope that in the long run they will drop it.

I had the same problem. Yesterday I could access the modlog from the lemmy.ml instance but it had a lot of repeated entries. Like a lot.

So yeah, something's weird. On the lemmy-ui issue tracker there's this: issue#1905 but I haven't had the time to read it, I only skimmed it.

Are you talking about this: https://lemmyverse.net/communities ?

There's this one too: https://browse.feddit.de/ but it is not as nice.

As far as I know they are different types of quantization.

The main difference you have to keep in mind as an end user is that, currently, GPTQ needs the full model to load in VRAM (the memory of your GPU) while GGML can share layers between the system RAM and the VRAM.

Performance wise I think it depends on the foundational model used, I know some time ago someone (The_Bloke?) did some testing, but I read it on Reddit and I don't feel like going to search for it.
There's this interesting post on huggingface Link, but it's pretty old and things could have changed (for example GGML has gone through different iterations).

I'm just going by memory, so take everything I wrote with a pinch of salt. I never personally used GPTQ.

I get an eye opening "Error establishing a database connection".

My life will never be the same! 😭

EDIT: Sorry, I missed the "web based". Today I'm incredibly distracted.

Feeder is pretty good if you use Android.

Probably I'm misreading it, but isn't this kind of answer basically saying "google it"?

I don't want to sound rude, but my english is kind of failing me, I'm just curious, but what's the point?

One of the reasons of this kind of public forum is to share knowledge and experiences. ChatGPT is a closed, private, garden where the answer will just die.

I could get a "I don't really know the answer but I used ChatGPT and it gave me this:" followed by a script, or something like that.

I know, this is off-topic and I'm sorry, I'm just really interested in Why, considering it's said multiple times in this comment section.

Block the user. It should be just one bot doing it in the lemmit.online instance.

To do so just, from your instance website, click on his name and search for the block function.

EDIT: For future reference you can automagically hide all (properly flagged) bots' posts toggling the "Show Bots" in your profile, but you will lose the useful ones too and the one not flagged will still appear.

If silence is the real culprit you should try out a white noise generator, generally speaking it should overload/excite you less then music or human voices and could help you sleep faster.

Where I live silence during the night is not really an option, and I had had problems only when on vacation "away from civilization", but small stuff like white noise, a fan or similar low but continuos sounds helped me out without asking for my attention (which happens with movies, music or similar).

There are even apps that simulate different kind of sound and let you mix them (like rain, birds, wind) but I didn't have enough patience to really dig on this solution.

EDIT: I didn't see I was in the Memmy community.. whoops! Still the advice remains generally valid 😅

It depends on the front end you are using, but generally speaking clicking/tapping on the username should bring you on the profile, where the block option is. It could be hidden behind some submenu/hamburger menu/three dots. But it should be there. Worst case the app you are using has not implemented it yet: try to take a look on the web interface and do it from there.

I blocked the bot days ago and being only it doing the reposting I'm basically not seeing the instance anymore.

The Nuclear option is to go in your profile and disable the bot accounts, but that would make invisible to you all the account marked as bots, which can be overkill.

I know this is a 3 weeks old post, but this is amazing.

I've posted a top level comment with all the concepts I think could be useful to better understand the whole Fediverse and Lemmy thing: if ,after that, you have any more questions you can reply to it and I'll try to help you out.

I'd link it directly but currently comments links can get messy.
