✔️ confirmé pour la liste française

Canadian, and released on 2024-04-26

Canadian, but looks like this one is from before the cutoff date

I see some more recent videos, if you want to nominate from one of those?

I'll see about making a large playlist at the end and including these extra submissions in that

✔️ confirmed for the English list

Canadian, but going by the spotify it looks like this one was released in 2020

I do see some songs released in 2024, if you want to nominate from one of those?

In your settings, under languages, make sure that 'Undetermined' is selected. That's usually the reason for missing content, since it's filtering out any content that doesn't have a language set

We should put that in the getting started guide

There are a few selfhosted versions of this.

It can be helpful to reference this info, and if it's only stored on your computer then I don't see the downside

If it helps, we wrote up a guide here: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users

The guide was made for lemmy.ca, but it should be helpful for any instance

it’ll have a 7 month old post at the top, and a 3 day old post right under it

Could you screenshot which posts you are seeing? There should be a little button like this to add the image to the comment:

yeah the way replies to comments are displayed is a little funny

Your instance has a few alternate UIs available, and you can log in to any of them with your account if you don't like the default interface:

https://p.lemmy.dbzer0.com/

https://a.lemmy.dbzer0.com/

https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/

We wrote up this guide on alternate UIs for our instance, which should also apply to the ones that your instance is running: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/alternative-uis

The blog is completely ok, but in case I can help fix the issue, what was happening when you tried sharing it directly here?

Oh that's cool, does your device have hardware keys then?

It could be some AB testing

The second link has some history on where this idea came from

I think we are

Speaking to reporters at a news conference earlier Thursday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada will hold firm and push ahead with retaliatory tariffs and other measures until Trump backs off entirely.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-trump-trade-war-deal-1.7476311

The uncertainty from going back and forth is maddening.

Each delay has only come after the tariffs have already started. 'until he backs off entirely' is a reasonable ask

Reminds me of the handshake

Something feels off with the UI, maybe the rounding or padding?

Good time for FOSS keyboard apps to get some more love

Heliboard and Futo were the recommendations from what I remember?

I hadn't considered that one before

Someone who bought a Tesla before, who is trying to sell it now, may have to sell it to someone who supports Musk. At a loss at that

Sell their houses to who Ben? FUCKING AQUAMAN!?

!tech@programming.dev is decent if you're looking for the more technological side, since the rules filter out

• Minor app updates
• Government legislation
• Company news
• Opinion pieces

Users are concerned that this moderation tactic could be abused or just improperly implemented.

This is the key bit. It's good to try and make safer online spaces. But Reddit's automated moderation has been bad for a while, and this might get more users caught up in false positives

I've seen comments tagged as abusive regardless of the context:

• someone quoting a news article
• someone making a hyperbolic joke (especially in gen-Z subs)
• actual abuse

For well moderated subs, the vast majority of those reports became false positives over time. For the mod queue, this didn't affect the end user since mods can dismiss the false positives. But automated 'scores' won't account for that.

We're going to see even more annoying algospeak like "unalive", only it's going to be in news quotes as well

I think it's a joke about dead internet theory, rather than userbase size

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory

The joke comes from an increase in bot use on Reddit, and the subsequent false positive / false negatives in trying to figure out which ones are bots

Lemmy has that problem too, but it's much smaller in scope. Mostly because there's less of a reason to try and control the narrative on this smaller platform, but also because the goals are different. Lemmy instances get no benefit from a bunch of fake engagement, and public upvotes makes it easier to catch manipulation
