  • Viewing a Lemmy account's posts from Mastodon seems to work. Going the other way, viewing a Mastodon account's toots from Lemmy, does not work.

    Pixelfed can see Lemmy and Mastodon accounts, but it does not show the posts or comments from those accounts. The reverse is also true: Lemmy and Mastodon can see Pixelfed accounts but not their content.

    At least these were my results the last time I experimented with cross-platform interaction. Maybe there are some tricks I have not learned yet.

  • Open Lemmy in a browser, not an app. Click on the pencil symbol in the upper right corner of the screen. Here's an example:

    Edit: Looking at your profile, you aren't the moderator of any communities. You need to be a mod before you can make edits. Get in touch with the admins at the instance where you created your community and ask them to make you the moderator.

  • We're really overdue for someone to design a jet ski drone morale patch. Etsy Corps, get on that.

  • It's a New York thing. That state loosely divides into two regions: New York City to the south, and everything else to the north ("upstate"). I have heard people refer to the New York City area as "downstate" but that term is less common.

    Similarly, Manhattan is loosely split into its northern portion (uptown), middle portion (midtown), and southern portion (downtown).

  • But girls only want boyfriends who have great skills clearances!

  • I love the FN. It looks like it belongs in some cheesy sci-fi movie.

  • I would bet dollars to doughnuts that sign was mixed up by some drunk Tufts undergrads.

  • c/shadowrun was deleted by its creator. It was pretty quiet: 33 posts total, and only 1 post in the last 5 months.

    If you want to cultivate a Shadowrun community, I could purge the old one and you could recreate it from scratch.

    Though admins can see the deleted community, lemmy-ui does not give the option to un-delete it, unfortunately. It would take some work to see if that's even possible through the API.

  • Are you still having problems logging in? Our server was having issues around the time you posted this.

  • Alternately, you could get the states to ratify a constitutional amendment. That would bypass the Supreme Court. Though getting 38 states to agree on an amendment related to gun rights is a fantasy in the first place.

  • You need an exclamation point at the front, and no spaces in the brackets. Like this:
    ![](url goes here)

  • For anyone unaware of the the spam issue mentioned in the link, it has been ongoing for a week. Some person or group is generating accounts on open Mastodon instances and spamming crap all over. My instance's admin bot caught two three new spam accounts while I was typing this post. I know admins at other instances have put similar protections in place.

    If you haven't seen the spam, thank your mods and admins!

  • God, my parents have a bunch of those and I loved listening to them as a kid. I can't play then any more.

  • It's yours. Have fun! Feel free to unpin this "Seeking Mods" post whenever you like.

  • Let's step back for context. The offense has a thrower, some catchers, a runner or two, and a bunch of huge guys who try to create a human wall.

    For each offensive position there is a matching killer on the defense. Linemen (tackles and ends) try to destroy the offensive wall. Linebackers try to kill the thrower and runners. Corners try to kill the catchers. Safeties try to kill anyone who has the ball, mostly catchers but sometimes runners.

  • If you have strong hands and are agile, then you fit the typical profile of a receiver. This is a a key offensive position. Your job is to run down field, catch the ball, and run some more. Once you catch the ball then several large, strong men will try to kill you.

    If you have a strong leg, then place kicker or punter. These are specialty positions that involve kicking the ball, either down field to the other team or through uprights to score points. You will rarely be touched by other players. Occasionally, players come to the US from an Aussie Rules or European football background to play these positions.

  • Mass is conserved. If you split water into hydrogen and oxygen, then combine them back into water, you will have the same amount of water as when you started.

    That's assuming you don't have leaky equipment in your lab, of course.

  • Water is the exhaust product. Once you have water, the potential energy in the original chemical mix has already been released.
    H2 + O --> H2O + energy (in the form of heat or electric potential)

    To break down water you have to reverse the reaction and put that energy back in. That's how electrolysis works:
    H2O + energy (in the form of electric potential) --> H2 + O

    And since no thermodynamic process is 100% efficient, you will lose some of the energy each time you go back and forth between these reactions.

  • Why, everybody knows Paul's the reason North Dakota doesn't have any trees. He logged 'em all out!
