  • Click the copy icon to the right of the community name on the search tool, then go to https://lemmy.one/search and paste in the URL it copied, and the community should show up. If it doesn't immediately show up: wait 30 seconds, refresh the search page, and try again, and then it will work.

  • My guess is that Reddit is alluding to the stupid suggestion of "just make your app more efficient with requests bro" (paraphrasing) that I saw an admin make. Reddit's already said they're not open to negotiations.

  • I think that this is a good idea, however I do not have the moderation capacity to do this unfortunately, and the Privacy Guides team is not interested in running a general "privacy" community as opposed to just !privacyguides@lemmy.one for numerous reasons.

    In an ideal world, the mods of r/privacy would be interested in setting up shop on Lemmy.one or their own instance, and this is an idea I've floated by them since we do talk, but I can't force them to be as excited about the fediverse as I am :)

  • I don't see why you couldn't just get a wildcard certificate that doesn't include any hostnames, if you handle your traffic on a single Caddy reverse proxy anyways.

  • "The content" on all Lemmy instances is the same. There is no account migration, but you can just sign up on lemmy.ml. If you already had an account there and you want it back... I don't know if it's possible for an admin there to restore it, you might have to get in touch with them.

  • Good question, yes, it should be renamed to "default sort type" IMO, because it just sets the default for these sorting settings on the homepage:

    It doesn't completely hide non-local posts if you have "local" selected, because as you noted each community has this interface available anyways :)

  • Welcome! Feel free to ask if you have any questions about anything :)

  • Yep, for things you host absolutely. However, P2P applications (e.g. torrent clients) are still going to be negatively affected by this.

  • I'm trying to understand this community and posts there like "how to disprove the lies about the DPRK?" To me, the most telling thing about these pro-North Korea communities is that there are no North Koreans within them 🙃

  • It's not a configurable option. Maybe with a custom interface change, but I'm not convinced that making changes to Lemmy.one that remote users don't experience is the best move.

  • Just my password manager and uBlock Origin :)

  • Downvotes just don't work inside communities hosted on lemmy.one. They might work on your own local midwest.social instance, I'm not sure, but if you downvoted my comment here nobody would be able to tell on lemmy.one, and nobody would be able to tell on other federated instances like lemmy.ml or beehaw.org, because lemmy.one simply would not federate that information to them.

  • I mentioned Lemmy on Mastodon and some people noted some controversy surrounding the "main" instances. I don't know exactly what concerned people, but I definitely think that more bigger, possibly saner instances like beehaw.org and—hopefully—now lemmy.one can make a better first impression on users.

    Also, federation with non-Lemmy platforms seems to be much better than it was last time I looked at this place 6-12 months or so ago.

  • Ah right, as the developers are self-described communists I imagine that had something to do with who was drawn to Lemmy initially, but I definitely think it all evens out as more people join. I haven't seen much in the way of politics in general on some of the newer big servers like Beehaw.org, and we don't really have political communities hosted locally on lemmy.one at all.

  • I think it's improved significantly in the last 6 months, and I'm enjoying using it here so far!

  • Don't know! We'll evaluate it as we go, I don't have an issue with enabling them if it's clear that not having them is problematic, but I also don't think people need a negative indicator to know not to engage with low-quality content.

  • Oh, modifications. Yeah, no way to do anything like that as far as I know, to preserve consistency across different instances.
