Founder of European Graphic Novels+, Aug '23 on Lemm.ee. With super-gratitude towards some ‘Blazing & Rimming’ Dudes for enabling our move, in which now we can abide. :D
Good to know; thank you!
That said, our PF posts and content don’t seem to be getting much FV traction the last 1.5wks or so. Or maybe it’s just me, I don’t know.
But also:
Is there actually a way to search the FV that includes PieFed content? Because so far it all seems to be Lemmy-oriented, you know?

Haha, my little A2-level French is starting to serve me well!
Anyway, looks delish. oO
But I also wanna comment that caramelized onions are like the nuclear bomb of food porn! (and if you’re mainly ‘veggie’ like me, check out Lebanese Lentils, s’il vous plaît)
Also, I gotta admit-- and holy smokes! Beef & potatoes is like a combination handed down by the food gods. (and actually fairly nutritious, too, as potatoes are a ‘super food’)
Nice one!
I do get that sometimes you don’t want to mess too much with the softness of the bread, as it can kind of highlight the contrast in interior ingredients, whatever they might be.
Me, I don’t have any kind of toaster myself, but use my range’s spiral elements to toast (or grill) as needed. The problem is consistency, so next time I think I might try the air fryer out, instead. Brushing with a little oil first usually helps, but we’ll see…
Also toast the bun.
It kind of blows my mind the number of ‘sandwich & pattie’ situations in which the cooks don’t toast the buns. It almost always helps.
Seems to have worked. :D
Just waiting for my co-mod to report in, but unless there’s some crazy hitch, I do believe we’re in business. ^^
Thank you so much, gentlemen, and please let me know if there’s a Patreon or counterpart? Merci beaucoup.

I’m guessing around right there should be an ‘add mod’ button or something like that?
Thank you! 🥧
Okay, now working on #2…
In Lemmy, we used to be able to go to a candidate’s message, post, or profile to add them as mods (via right-click drop-down options). But so far I’m not seeing such options.
When I googled the issue, there was a response which seemed to imply that co-mods can be added at the admin level, but of course I’m just a community founder-level mod.
If it helps, I’d specifically like to add as a co-mod [email protected] to my community piefed.social/c/eurographicnovels. A sample post of his would be: https://piefed.social/post/1012551.
Any instruction is appreciated.

Btw, this belongs in c/ShittyFoodPorn, OP!

Answering the real questions!

Thanks; cool stuff. I just hope there’s enough resiliency and backup in terms of personnel, such that such projects can go on indefinitely.
] > In your situation, have you ever considered hosting a blog rather than content directly on Lemmy/Piefed? That might be an easier way to manage the content over time.
Well, there’s the rub-- by no means did I set out to create a blog-like project, rather that’s what it happened to drift towards over time. My main intent was to create as close an alternative to r/bandedessinee as possible due to Reddit’s self-immolation at the time. I didn’t want it to be about me, but about community participation, eventually with other people overseeing the project, with myself being more of an occasional contributor. This is doubly the case due to significant health issues and living in a place currently drifting towards… some pretty disastrous general outcomes.
But yes, I’ve tried doing a couple blogs for awhile. I frankly prefer the Reddit/FV approach because I don’t have to be as perfectionistic, ‘complete,’ and me-centred, plus it let’s me work more in a style intended to get general discussion rolling.
As I said above, if PieFed / etc eventually offered the ability to assign transferred content with matching usernames to the new account, that would pretty much solve things for me. Or if the community owner had the ability to modify old content (showing that in a public log of course), then it would also solve things. I don’t feel like I’m hoping for too much here, but maybe I’m wrong…
] > About the most robust and resilient instance, I’m not sure, monthly reports on [email protected] are pretty transparent and detailed. Other instances like sh.itjust.works have very high uptime as well.
Yeah, the reason I say that is because Sunaurus had setup something like 10 sub-servers (most of them non-redundant) running the instance, at a cost of ~US$200/mo. I can’t pretend to be any expert in such stuff, but my perception is that (rather famously unlike certain other instances) it was overall beautifully able to handle massive influxes of users, DDOS attacks, spam issues, outage issues, and whatever else. It also had a health-status link (now defunct) and I think maybe other user/server tools, as well.
So while I grasp the intrinsic, resilient nature of the FV, Lemm.ee to me was one of the strongest instances there was, and it can never be too good when such as those go down.
To me, it also kind of touches on certain problems of dead communities only getting conserved in ‘ghost states’ by the FV. I mean yes, you can still see them if you know how to look, but they can’t be interacted with, and they’ll never pop up in any feeds. They won’t disappear, but I’m pretty sure that very few people are going to bother visiting them unless the content is absolutely stellar.
Another issue apart from that is that even when the content can be migrated to another instance, nobody can say with any certainty that such instance won’t crash, either. There’s also the fact that now that EGN’s stuff is mostly migrated (with ~160 postings lost), I can’t actually edit any of it even as the community owner. So personally, it’s another big chonk of work trying to patch up any content that has aging issues… such as Imgur content needing to be re-uploaded, info updating, and/or links needing to be fixed. I.e., I’ll need to delete, rework and re-launch so many of those aging posts when I’d much rather be focused on creating new content.
So from my POV, the situation is still a bit fraught, with the most obvious thing seemingly being migration tools needing to be improved, and community-owner tools needing a little more power. Now over on Reddit, people could say something like ‘yeah yeah, I sold my soul to Spez, but at least we don’t have any of those issues.’
So maybe if and when Reddit sets itself on fire again, the FV can be better-prepared to persuade users over. (knock on wood)
/rant?
My sense is that the article (and people in general) are dismissing the loss a little too easily. Here are my thoughts:
And frankly… there are also true upsides to that, mais non?
(sorry Rimu, I’m trying like hell to learn this language (French) and I’m just inserting things fluffing everywhere, for no good reason. 😅
Cheers, mate. <3
