As I understand it, API charges are for everyone, Apollo for example showed the app is within the limits, I think other app devs did the same.

While not wanting their data to be scraped for AI for free is indeed a valid reason, if it was the real reason they would have come up with different tiers of pricing like every other paid platform does.

Edit: Apollo was within the limits, but reddit changed the rules apparently ...

I think your post ended up in the wrong thread, are you using multiple browser tabs?

Thanks for the translation!

I answered the one asking what happened.

Anyway, I get it's temporary, I'm not a mod but if they say better tools are needed, I believe them.

better moderation of the offending instances.

What does that mean?

Do they expect lemmy.world admins to police 25K people across 700+ servers? I don't think that's how it works.

Or do they mean that they reported harassers to our admins and they didn't do anything about it?

Apparently some idiots from here think it's fun coordinating a troll-attack on them and they don't have enough mod power to deal with it, so they removed their connections with us and sh.itjust.works.

Try this: go into your user settings, change Type from Local to Subscribed and Sort type from Active to Hot (or New if you prefer that).

Then click on Communities on the top bar, switch the list from Local to All, and find communities you're interested in, you can also search for specific names.

Avoid names ending in @beehaw.org if you see them, they defederated us so we can't interact with them anymore.

When you find something you like, click on the community name to go to their page, on the right you'll find the Subscribe button.

After you subscribed to enough communities, close lemmy and open it again, see if it's better that way (it is for me).

introduce your pet instead!

You asked for it :D

Fantastic news! thanks

beware NVIDIA tho:

However, Valve notes the fact that enabling hardware acceleration on NVIDIA GPUs may cause X11 to crash. As such, hardware acceleration will be disabled by default for NVIDIA systems. In addition, Valve says that DPI scaling may not work correctly when hardware acceleration is disabled.

That's because it's pinned, it's like sticky posts on reddit.

Better to stay it this way, it would be lost in the flood otherwise and new people wouldn't find it.

Sure! Do what you think it's best :)

I made a picture to try and explain a few basic concepts (hopefully) in a simple way, if you think it can help, feel free to link it in the guide, if not it's ok :)

Ok, thanks!

What does "Subscribe Pending" mean?

I clicked the Subscribe button on !guildwars2@lemmy.ml but I get that yellow pending button instead of the green "joined". Is it because of the heavy load?

Not a big problem, I can read and post there, but I was curious.

Is r/AskHistorians considering moving the community somewhere else? It would be a shame to lose such valuable content.

I hope that too, I understand some people have issues, but blocking communities, in my opinion, should be left to individuals, each one of us have different opinions after all and there's no way to make everyone "happy".

Unless there's something illegal but that IMO should be blocked at community level, not the entire server.

I believe it's a bait.

Over at r/ModCoord they say they held a private call with some developers, none of the 3rd party apps devs were invited apparently.

There's a sticky post containing full notes of the call (I don't know if it's ok to link reddit here so I won't), their promises are really vague, "promising" to let some apps use the API for free is only one of them, they're offering to postpone the API changes if mods don't close the subs, and they're making a lot of excuses for their very lacking tools, "promising" they'll do better this time.

If we consider they're going public later this year, it makes sense they're trying to damage control as much as possible so the protest doesn't ruin their IPO, while actually having no intention to follow up on their words.

If magazines start picking up on their empty words, like the article you linked, it could appear redditors are protesting for nothing, that would be really sad.
