The first computer mouse was apparently more of a block.
I imagine it got its name from the 'tail' part, and the fact that it now looks mouse-like is mostly a co-incidence of it now being more ergonomically shaped.
It's maybe an idea to filter out communities with less than 10 posts.
When I tried it, it gave me a community with 1 post and no comments (there's a lot of dead communities on lemmy, so you might need to do something to increase the chance of an interesting response)
Just tried this on Sync, although lemmy.world itself was too flaky to let me reply on there (I think, sorry if this is a dupe).
During that brief wheel-spinning, Sync fetches a local version of an absolute link (a 'https' link to a Community or a post). This is very impressive in a way, and if all mobile apps and browser front-ends did this, we'd barely need the ! type links at all. As it is though, Sync has just casually reinvented a Fediverse concept that's been there since the beginning (which is a bit rude, although for posts definitely an improvement)
All you can do is provide an absolute link, for others to see in a kind of 'non-participation' mode. If they want to see a version they can interact with, it's up to them to find their instance's version of it - by searching for it manually, or automating the search via a browser script or by calling the LinkFixerBot.
I haven't spent much time with Tildes, but I noticed that they have least tried to address the problems with Reddit, rather than just be clone.
One example is putting the 'Add Comment' button at the very bottom of the screen, encouraging you to read existing comments before you make your own. Another is the use of labels, included 'noise' and 'malice', so that comments can be hidden from other users with a bit more nuance than a downvote, and 'exemplary' - which, if enough people use it - will promote a particularly insightful comment.
It does intrigue me, because I don't think the only issues with Reddit were ads and the actions of a pesky CEO.
Voyager is a mobile app for browsing Lemmy. It's inspired by the Apollo app people used to use for Reddit.
I think one of the reasons for changing the name was that 'wefwef' also featured in the big long string that a disgruntled lemmy.world user used in the description for about 4000 fake communities they created, so it complicated searches for the app and made a unhelpful association.
I use DietPi for my single-board computers (a Pi3 and an ODROID something). They do a good job of optimising the available software so it doesn't trash your SD card and is as small as possible.
I use them for pi-hole software, navidrome (a SubSonic music server), and various scripts which steal content from the Internet for me.
I watched a video from Gibi ASMR, who's getting tats all over her legs. For the one behind her knee, she spent time after with her leg in a splint, 'cos she was worried that bending her leg would affect the tattoo whilst it was healing.
I'd be interested to see if anyone has found other meta-communities.
It's been a while since I've seen anything of interest to me in All (which I try to avoid anyways, 'cos it feels like browsing by All is the first sign of an addiction or something)
Either the problems with its API responses are breaking lemmy.world, or a broken lemmy.world is causing problematic API responses.
Currently, you can ask lemmy.world for page number billion of its communities and it'll return a response (for the communities it thinks it has on that page, rather than an empty one, as it should). For something like lemmyverse.net, this means its crawler can never get to end of a scan, and some apps are maybe trying to endlessly load the list.
I think I’ve seen people mention tools that have been created to automatically subscribe a dummy account on your instance to all the communities on the largest instances to kind of bootstrap the process for other users, but I don’t have a link to such a tool handy
They have a bot at lemmings.world that subs to the most popular communities. It's mostly to benefit their 'All' feed I think, but I imagine it's good for this circumstance too.
Especially since, and correct me if I am wrong, but every instance holds all of the data for all of the other instances too? (that they are federated with).
Just the text I think. It's not nothing, but if you upload an image to your instance as part of a post, the text is copied to my instance, but with just a link to the image, so it could be worse.
