What method of producing meat that doesn't emit greenhouse gases do you propose?

"Consumption doesn't emit greenhouse gases, production does", that doesn't really make sense. If no one consumed meat one year, much less meat would be produced the next year, leading to less greenhouse gases.

Lemmy's subscriber user count is usually wrong.

You only see the true number if the community is on your instance

Check the community from the original instance to see the actual number of subscribers

If you're searching for instances, you should use https://lemmyverse.net/communities since it lets you quickly compare subscribers, shows you more results and also is just better overall

Interesting. On my client (Eternity) both the picture from Reddit and the picture from gify.nou.cz load. On the Lemmy website only the Reddit image loads.

Yeah, just upload pictures in the post body. Like you do in comments you can do it in the post text as well.

Lemmy has a way of doing it automatically, but if you want to do it manually the formatting is

        ![Alt text](image url)
  

OP is a Mastodon user.

Mastodon doesn't actually have communities built in, so if you want to post in a Lemmy community you have to @ the community. (That means that there's a decent chance this post was an accident, since linking to a community and posting to a community is the same on mastodon)

Sub.rehab stopped letting people add new communities. What's up with that?

Nah, doesn't really work for me. Most topics I want to follow, hashtags are either not used, or used too broadly so I'm not really interested in what I get, or used too often so my feed gets filled with posts and I can't see the people I'm following.

What I do is if I want to see somebody's posts but I don't want to see all of their posts, I put them into a list. Then if they boost a post I like, I check out the person's account and either add them or don't add them to the list. Doesn't work too well, but it's not awful either.

And then I also have 1 hashtag pinned (Moshidon feature), so that I can see the posts on it without getting them in my home feed.

• Proper federation of favorites and boosts. You can't see favorites from people outside of your instance for some reason, and boosts are sorta federated from people outside of your instance, but still not fully. Lemmy manages to federate upvotes fine, so it seems like it'd be possible.The app I use (Moshidon) loads the actual favorite count when you open the favorites list, but it's annoying I have to go through that step.

• Quoting Posts

• Higher poll option count. 4 is not enough. I'd say it should be at least 6, preferably something like 15 or 25.
  ‎
• Higher character count per post. No reason for it to be capped at 500. I'd say the default should be 1500.Also I think it's hard for admins to change the default character count, so that should be made easier.

• I'd really like an algorithm (optional, of course). Getting content you want to see is really difficult. It's hard to find people to follow, and when you do you get all of their posts in your feed, not just the ones you want to see.

Why do you say it doesn't feel the same between instances? The only problem I've seen is subscriber counts not federating.

Lemmy of all platforms is able to work fine without an algorithm. There needs to be some better sorting options, though. 'Hot' prioritizes new posts way too much, so you don't even see posts that are 2 hours old.

Also some way of making posts from smaller communities show up higher since they'll never get as many upvotes as posts from popular communities.

For a while now, the app has been really easy to sign up on, and now the website is the same.

The process got easier in mastodon 4.2.0, now you just have to type in your instance and it takes you to it directly.

I don't have sync on and I can use magic eraser, portrait light, etc.

I never saw the option for photo unblur. Idk if that's because I'm on a Pixel 6A, because it never recognized a photo as blurry, or because I have sync off.

What happened now?

That's a great idea! I didn't know about shields.io. Just added it to !celeste@lemmy.ca

I changed the link a little from the one you posted. Mine is:

        [![Subscriber Count](https://img.shields.io/lemmy/celeste%40lemmy.ca?logo=lemmy&label=Subscribers)](https://lemmy.ca/c/celeste)


  

• I added alt text (so if the image doesn't load, or people are using screen readers, they can still understand what it is),
• changed 'Total Subscribers' to just 'Subscribers',
• and made the badge a link to the community in the original instance, so anyone wondering why the numbers don't match up can click the badge to see where the number's coming from.

Easiest way to know for sure is probably to search for it on fedidb.org. Instances don't need to tell you they're on the fediverse, but most of them have a link to the source code which will probably mention activitypub somewhere.

Random sort? How do you do that?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/14c2v5x/build_your_own_apk_with_your_personal_api_key_in/

You can build your own APK of Infinity with your own API key. You don't need to install any apps (other than infinity) and it can be done from your phone.

Screenshot in case the post on Reddit is removed:

Google Colab Script

Edit: Also, Geddit (Website) (F-Droid) (GitHub) works without the API, but you can't interact with anything, comments don't show properly, and I think the UI doesn't look very good.

I think copying Mastodon would be the best for this. You can mark the post as sensitive (nsfw), which blurs the images. You can also add a content warning that can be used for anything (nsfw, nsfl, spoilers, etc).

And then use tags separately for categorizing posts.

I think that for posts to federate to another instance, there needs to be at least 1 subscriber from that instance.
