Do I seem entitled? That wasn't my intention. I even made a point of saying I wasn't complaining. I just have one eyebrow raised, and was wondering if I should pop it back down again.

Also, some were great, so I subscribed. Thanks for sharing!

That wasn't my primary intention, but they were all taken from !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl if you're looking for more.

I realize this. How well it works for User 2 isn't super-relevant for User 1's experience. And if you're from a small instance, you'll always be User 1. To me, it seems like the answer to if the page will successfully load for User 1 is 'maybe', and I guess I was questioning whether this is good enough.

I think the idea is that the image comes from the URL. If you have both an image and a URL, then you effectively have two URLs, and the post can only lead to one place.

If you wanted both, I guess you'd have to put one in the post, and one in the body (as an inline image, or a clickable link to what you're posting about)

I think I might be the only person who watched 'Slip', a Roku Original (no, really).

It's one of those shows where one person just casually writes, stars and directs 7 episodes of telly like it's no big deal. Anyway, it's worth a watch, next time you're perusing Roku's extensive Originals slate.

I am not getting this behavior on lemm.ee or lemmy.ml

To quote OP. I also tried it on feddit.nl (which is running 0.18.3), which returns an empty array, as you'd expect. On lemmy-world, the result you get for page 250000 is the same result you get for page 1 (the Fediverse community)

There's this idea, that if the companies just knew enough about you, they could send you the perfect ads. Ads you'd appreciate. Ads for things you didn't even realise you needed until you saw the Ad. This ignores that there are entire industries, and entire product ranges between industries, that - for one reason or another - never advertise.

All the information in the world about how I might want a new microwave is no good when you realise that you never see and ad for a microwave. Likewise, the 'perfect ad' for me most of the time would be something for specialised tools (for plumbing or bike repair or whatever) - again, something you never see an Ad for. So the ads I get are just weird, and I spend longer trying to figure why I getting it than I ever would do entertaining the idea that I'd click on it. In fact, the only adverts I've ever clicked on have been by accident, so every one is just a waste of time and space.

I can't remember. It wouldn't have been for emulation, because I'm never been that bothered about that. I remember it seemed terribly important that I get one, because I paid extra to skip the queue of pre-orders. I ported software directly on the device itself, but - yeah - I think it was mainly for audio/video stuff (using it like a fragile and cumbersome iPod touch)

I couldn't find it on my phone's playstore, so had to install it via that web link, but everything looks good so far.

I use to play around with a little device called Open Pandora (from when System-On-A-Chip really became a thing; it looked like a bulky Nintendo DS and was mostly used to emulate old games (including Nintendo DS ones, interestingly).

I made an alternative desktop environment for it (so you switch from using XFCE to Openbox).

Anyway, this wallpaper reminds me of that time:

I'm not sure, tbh. I'm feeling pretty doomy about Lemmy lately.

I've been involved in actively trying to build up an existing Community: I posted stuff, people saw it on All, and subscribed. From that point, growth should be exponential - if you get an extra 100 subscribers, at least 1 of them should be able to overcome their crippling insecurity and post something, but in reality, nothing happened. I kept posting, but repeated mining of my own sense of what's funny just revealed how far adrift my own sense of humour is from a universal sense, and that was that.

You can do what you like to try to grow a Community, but if the people you bring in are the same type of Entitled Toilet Browsers you already have, it won't mean much.

@CommunityLinkFixer@lemmings.world

I say that, and I'm actually 100% sure how it works, so lets try:

https://lemmy.world/post/2263362

If the link and its OP shares the same instance domain (@user@lemmy.example.com posting to !community@lemmy.example.com), then the federation link should be the link itself (please confirm if this is actually true).
If not, then the “federation link” has to be obtained.

This is my understanding

If you're given a link to a post, call the CommunityLinkFixer Bot, which should give you the URL of the post from your own instance (so you stay logged in):

[AT] CommunityLinkFixer [AT] lemmings.world

If someone gives you an absolute link to a Community, then the Bot should pop up to fix it itself.

I don't know - I just looked at KBIN's API reference and just as I was thinking "This is better than Lemmy's", it transpires that dev.karab.in isn't resolvable.

This is what Lemmy sees when it pulls your Mag through:

    
      "name": "progresspics",
      "title": "Post your progress!",
      "description": "Show off your hard work! (Not limited to just weight loss) \\*\\*Use this format when posting pictures:\\*\\*\n\\\\\\> \\*Gender/Age/Height [Weight Before \\> Weight After = Total Amount Lost] (Time period in months) Personal title\\*\n\\\\\\> \\*Example: F/23/5'5\" [289lbs \\> 250lbs = 39lbs] (4 months) I am very proud of myself!\\* \\*\\*RULES\\*\\*\n\\\\\\> Be respectful\n\\\\\\> Support one another\n\\\\\\> No sexual comments \\*(based on the subreddit)\\*",

  

As you can see, all your markdown is being escaped like crazy.
I don't know what the solution is.
It doesn't help that KBIN uses slightly different markdown than Lemmy (e.g. underscores for italics on KBIN, asterisks for italics on Lemmy)

Argh, I looked here to see if someone else had raised the issue, but it didn't occur to me to check GitHub. I'm not sure I agree with what the 'Expected behaviour' should be - a link beginning with a '/' has always been relative to the server you're on, and '!' seems unusual to me, but whatever works.

Well, that's just established canon at this point. I guess I'm just questioning whether any of the participants are really into it ...

I've not watched any of these trailers because trailers tend to give too much away, but I'm looking forward to this film.

Gareth Edwards directed, co-wrote, and co-produced it, so - for better or worse - it should be the most 'Gareth Edwards' film since Monsters.

There's a post on !linuxscripts@lemmy.zip called "Basic Lemmy API "get unread replies" script" which uses the jwt for a endpoint that requires it.

Authentication is optional for get_community, but if you want to include it, you'd just put an '&' between 'jwt=' and 'id='
