It would be nice to have a toggle to temporarily unhide everything (maybe a “disable hiding posts” toggle) so that the posts appear in communities and search. As is, you have to go to your “hidden” list and manually browse to find whatever it is you want to view or unhide.
You might give the Voyager app a try. It’s what I use. It has a hide post option, as well as a “mark read on scroll” option and a button to hide read posts. I think you have to enable the last two in its settings.
Ah, sorry about that. And thank you! I refreshed the comments before asking you to do that. I’m not sure if I missed your edit or it hadn’t shown up for me yet.
Morbius isn’t a great one to point at as an example where this rule of thumb fails because the reviews were brigaded. It was a huge meme and would have been flooded with meme user reviews.
Also, it’s a good starting point if OP thinks they might want to learn guitar eventually.
OP, make sure to buy from a music shop or get someone knowledgeable to help you pick out an inexpensive beginner uke. There are lots of toy ukuleles (and guitars) for sale out there that are not playable even for beginner learning. It’s really a shame that they are made because a lot of people get tricked into buying them.
Avoid target, Walmart, Best Buy, and the like for buying musical instruments. If you want to buy one online and don’t know someone to help you, I’m sure there are lemmings that will help you find one.
This is good advice. Not enough detail in the post and, regardless, you’re going to need to analyze your own situation because we’re probably never going to get all the nuance, even if you write us a novel.
One thing to add: you just lost a relationship and are probably going to be unhappy and grieving that regardless of where you live. If you had stayed, you’d be having the same feelings of not knowing where you want to be and feeling lost… you probably even jumped to moving back home because you made a rash decision thinking “I’m unhappy here, so here must be the problem.”
OP, the way you’re feeling is normal. You need time to grieve the relationship and figure out what makes you happy once you have a bit of distance from that situation.
As a layman, this doesn’t sound any different than what my (vague) picture of what the “great firewall” already is. My assumption is that the great firewall is generally about:
-preventing those inside China from access unapproved content from outside
-preventing those outside China from accessing unapproved content from inside China
-monitoring and controlling content inside China
Can anyone speak to how this could be notably different than what China has already been doing in that realm? Or correct my understanding of what we believe China already has in place?
FYI, this is not a tech support community. You might want to delete this post to save the poor mods from the headache - it looks like they’ve been struggling with this issue lately.
Answer: from the instance you are subscribed to (lemmy.world), search for the relevant community like so:
The community might not come up the first time. If it doesn’t, wait a second and perform the search again. At that point, assuming your instance is federated with the instance you are looking for, you should find the community. Click in. Subscribe. You are done!
Something to add: when looking at the Reddit analogy, there is a really key difference to understand. While reddit.com is somewhat equivalent to a lemmy instance (eg lemmy.world), it’s important to understand that, while there is only one reddit, there are many many lemmy instances.
This means that when you talk about a subreddit (called a community in lemmy), you automatically know that the subreddit is a community located on reddit.com. If you talk about r/memes, it goes without saying that you are talking about reddit.com/r/memes.
When you shift to lemmy world, if you just talk about /c/memes, that may not be enough info to know which /c/memes you’re referring too. Are you talking about lemmy.world/c/memes? Or lemm.ee/c/memes? Or one of the hundred or more other communities named memes on another Lemmy instance?
Ok… so you’ve created an account on an instance. I’ll use lemmy.world as an example because that is where this discussion is hosted. Your account info is stored on lemmy.world servers. You are subject to the rules and administration of lemmy.world. Your “local” feed consists of posts made on lemmy.world communities.
BUT lemmy.world is also “federated” with many other instances. Take a look. The list is huge: https://lemmy.world/instances . This means that if you are on lemmy.world and choose to browse “all”, you will see communities and posts not just on lemmy.world, but also communities and posts on other federated instances. You can also subscribe to those communities so that they show up on your “subscribed” (aka “home”) feed. Note that there are complexities here around which content you will see from federated instances. At a high level just know that you don’t automatically see all content from other instances… you should put a pin in that topic and learn more about it once you have the general layout down.
Lemmy.world is also “defederated” with some instances as well, which means that their content and users are blocked from lemmy.world.
Great! I joined 14 days ago and have been seeing massive growth in content (and what I would consider quality content) in that time. When I stated, things seemed pretty bare and at this point, it’s filling my Reddit craving.
Along with that, Voyager has been an amazing app and the rate at which they are improving it has been unbelievable. I feel like I see a substantial update every day or two.
I’ve been off Reddit since the protest and am pretty much at the point that I don’t miss anything about it. There’s a handful of Apollo features I still miss, but at this rate, Voyager will fill in those gaps in no time.
The bot they are talking about isn’t trying to hide that it is a Reddit reposting bot. The posts from that bot start with some boilerplate like “this content is copied from /r/blah”.
So if you aren’t seeing this content, there is nothing you need to do. If you do see this content, block the user that posted it.
I’m curious: is this a major lawsuit waiting to happen, or is the mill somehow protected from that?
I’m picturing a situation where bad steel is provided, used by the purchaser, and later the product they put the steel in fails, causing a serious accident, death, or other severe issue. does the mill’s responsibility somehow end at warranty replacement or have they created a bigger liability for themselves?
I kinda like the idea of the last one, especially for indoors in the summer. It seems very simple and makes a lot of sense to me:
secure some window screen mesh to the output side of a box fan. Let the fan run. The mosquitos get sucked in and trapped against the mesh until they dry out and die. Spray them with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and water if you want to speed up their demise.
