It probably is. I'd tried Mastodon but found myself not going back. Phanpy re-invigorated my interest in it.

I think even Garland would like us to forget 'Men' too. It was made during the pandemic, so I choose to blame that.

Thanks for this. I tried to watch a video from 'shifter' but there never seems to be enough bandwidth (even on 360p). I can see other people have managed though, so maybe it's a location thing (I'm in the UK)

I've kinda run out, as both Taskmaster and Hacks finished their seasons today. I think The Acolyte starts soon though.

I'll probably go back and rewatch Devs at some point, just because it was a bit surreal seeing how many of the cast were also in Civil War (Garland's next project).

Accounts (which contain the private key that signs the headers in your posts, and the public key to verify) are required for ActivityPub to work.

https://fedi.video is a useful resource.

I've already added !andybalaamlectures@diode.zone and !doc@peertube.biz to PieFed.

(Lemmy users may be interested to know that the Tesseract frontend also embeds the videos)

You can get a lot of that through Lemmy's API

I imagine that only the admins can give you logs of logins and IP addresses though.

You can look at the git logs for any open-source project if you want to feel better about it: there's usually a regular pattern of:
do this for all the things.
Followed by either:
hang on, wait. Not *all* the things.
Or:
Missed these out of all the things

Remote instances make their own copy of anything sent to them, so visibility isn't affected by whatever happens on the original server.

You can see for yourself by visiting something like /c/headphones@lemmy.film (that instance died ages ago)

Oh, okay. Citing the specs is a good argument killer.

There's a Closed Issue relating to this at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3540
From there you can navigate to the right place to open a new Issue if you want.

Oh right, yeah. I was thinking more of the images that people link to with posts. Lemmy currently sends those out, with

    
"attachment": [
    {
      "href": "https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e798447e-a79f-45b2-b3da-3aa669cbc0e5.png",
      "type": "Link"
    }
  ]


  

But there's nowhere in entire JSON for any alt-text. The plan is to add alt-text as a 'name' in there.

In-line images do prove a point for the OP, though. A Lemmy comment with one will be sent out as
<img src=\"[https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/9d483052-29b6-4d34-baaf-3ee092be9718.png\](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/9d483052-29b6-4d34-baaf-3ee092be9718.png\)" alt=\"bear vs man in woods meme\" /> in the 'content' field, but Mastodon expects all images to be attachments, so it just completely ignores it. (compare https://lemmy.zip/comment/10342640 with https://mastodon.social/@Honytawk@lemmy.zip/112438348076482957)..)

That's arguably the expected behaviour - for a discussion, 'link' effectively takes you to the comments, for an article (or a link to a image), it takes you there instead.

You could use 'guid' instead - that always links to the post on Lemmy, and it usually contains a useful thing on other sites' RSS feeds.

There was a great windows app called 'dvdshrink' that let you rip commercial DVDs onto blank DVDs (shrinking them if necessary). It got taken down with a Cease & Desist, but the MPAA or whoever didn't worry about who took the domain. For a long time, the site was just filled with ads instead - now it's a bit more sophisticated: no real link to download the software, but lots of genuine-seeming donation requests.

The fake site is at the first search result for that software (edit: it's probably best not to link directly to it)

That sounds like a tricky combination. Wherever you go, they'll be a good chunk of users who are unaware of / indifferent to how well the app they're using interacts with other Fediverse platforms. Mastodon has the userbase, and - as you say - is the place where the serious discussion of accessibility takes place.

As for Lemmy - it doesn't yet support alt-text, but when it does, I believe that the plan is to follow Mastodon's format (i.e. a 'name' field in the 'attachment' array)

Oh, right. Sorry. I've gone back and checked the post I was thinking of when I made that comment, and - yeah - it turns out I was misremembering / didn't properly investigate the first time.

Yeah - I think anything the UI is doing, it's getting the info from the API, so the poster would've had to use the 'cross-post' feature. There are some apps (e.g. Voyager) that try to wrangle cross-posts by title or URL, but title-matching can give false postives, and URL-matching usually assumes that one link hasn't picked up some cruft, and it can't do much for uploaded images if the poster didn't cross-post (because it'll be 2 different files with different URLs)

Pièces?

"No", and "No". More info here: https://sh.itjust.works/post/18710212 (includes reply from Nutomic)

Decades ago, my school's drug info was similar: every drug had a single entry ('euphoria') in the Pros column and a massive list (ending with death) for the Cons column.
