So if all this work was done to determine that the phone layout is simply better than the calculator layout… why the fuck are we still using the calculator layout on anything?

And screw you OP for bringing this up. Now I want to remap my 10-key to phone layout to see if that’s “better”… I already had important stuff to do this weekend that I’m totally going to ignore now because this irrationally bothers me that I didn’t realize this before.

I don’t think this is necessarily a defederation issue. I’m running a private instance and should not really have been defederated as nothing comes from my instance except 2 users (of which I’m the more vocal of the 2 of us). I run into the problem you outline all the same. My version will show 2 comments, the origin server will show 11. Sometimes even completely different comments and none of the instances show to be blocking me on their /instance page.

I’m not on either feddit.de, lemm.ee, or lemmy.world’s lists. I still run into this.

What I think is going on is simply hiccups in federation. Instances where one of the instances misses sending an ActivityPub message to all parties and that’s it.

But let’s even say that I am currently defederated. From my understanding this is a temporary measure until stuff settles down a bit.

Been a Reddit user for well over a decade… If you asked me a decade ago I would have said it was near perfect… Now? Fuck no, it’s terrible. They’ve jumped off the rooftop long ago… just been waiting for the splat and the alternative. I found the alternative… Just waiting for the splat since that will be fun to watch.

as well.

No problem! Lots of exploring to do… it’s a whole new world for a huge amount of us.

All servers running lemmy are open about it… Check the very bottom of your instance page and click “Instances”. In their case it’s

https://lemmy.one/instances

And for you it’s

https://beehaw.org/instances

You can view exactly who your instance federates with. If the instance is public, the instances that are blocked/allowed are publicly visible. New users probably won’t know what this means… but certainly could after some time/understanding. No reason you shouldn’t know! So let’s fix that.

https://lemmy.one/instances

Your instance chose to block the following instances:

lemmygrad.ml
asbestos.cafe
eientei.org

I’ve been following him for years at this point. The one recurring theme… He’ll get into something new… get fucked over by it… learn from it… then detail exactly what should have happened/what went wrong/why/etc without much preconceived bullshit or leaning to any particular stance… And he always takes responsibility for all his fuck ups. I wish more people were like Louis.

I run Firefox

• AdNauseam (One step further than uBlock Origin, it actively clicks everything that missed my DNS blocks)
• Bitwarden
• Decentraleyes
• Enhance-O-Tron for Plex (For some reason some videos in my library have black bars hard coded into them. I could probably re-encode them to get rid of the bars, but this add-on just hides the bars at a button click. It’s only a problem for monitors wider than 16:9)
• Enhancer for Youtube ™ (Automatically expand the canvas out to the full screen and a bunch of other stuff.)
• Facebook Container (I don’t use facebook, but the containers are nice to keep shit separated)
• Keepa - Amazon Price Tracker
• NoScript
• Redirect AMP to HTML
• ShareX ( I have workflows that automatically store stuff into my nextcloud and setup share links)
• SponsorBlock for Youtube - Skip Sponsorships
• Stylus

I had stuff for Reddit… but since I’ve moved off the platform, that’s been nixed. And for those of you using the cookie accepting apps… Why not just block the element with uBlock?

Any “password” that cannot be revoked is a bad password.

This is also why biometrics are bad. You can’t replace your fingers, eyes, etc… These are good usernames.

Most cable companies appear to be rotten to the core… Cox Communications is rolling out fiber into my neighborhood… Know what speeds they’re advertising? 900/30… Which is WORSE than their gigabit coaxial option… At least there you could get 960/30

Easier to fight demons in hell…

With Diablo IV, I get disconnected when there’s a light breeze.

Better turn of your ceiling fan.

Impersonation - Not sure this matters unless you’re a mod or admin. Spamming - Just make the accounts yourself… it’s going to be infinitely easier to just make spam accounts from nothing (since it’s free anyway) than to designate resources to cracking a password. Deletion/Modification of history - modlogs allow reverting ALL changes outside of full account deletion. Full account deletion - Well that’s annoying at the very least. But not like it’s the end of the world or has any actual cost associated with it.

It’s a lot of work to do so little actual damage. It’s not like twitter where hacking Elon’s account can actually lead to monetary gain.

Yeah, there’s an edit. Seems not to have propagated back to beehaw. yay for beta!

“Create Community” at the top of your screen if you’re on browser, just make sure you’re on the instance you want your community to be on. I actually don’t know on the apps. I haven’t tried to make one from Jerboa yet.

Oh yeah… It’s not even close.

“You don’t understand tech” as they show you how the UI of a very particular website works… As if that’s an understanding of switching, routing, networking, sysadmin, virtualization, Operating systems, apache(nginx or alternatives…), php (or similar), html, databases… etc… The list is massive… but yes sweet child! I don’t understand technology! Meanwhile that list of technologies needed to make that specific UI “Technology” work is black boxes to them.

It’s very odd… I might have shitty memory as a 30+year old now… but I really don’t recall being that obtuse about stuff when I was younger.

https://browse.feddit.de is a good tool to search for things. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, start a community on an instance you like.

Be mildly competent at computers… or know someone who is and willing to help you.

Either setup your own instance, or find an instance that’s already setup that you like and the owner will let you add stuff to the database…

Start a community…

Success! now you’ve migrated your subreddit to lemmy!

(This is a little sarcastic. I’m not good at legit guides. But it is possible!)

Edit: tweaked phrasing… doing this to general public servers would be unlikely.

The biggest for most people seem to be the federated aspect of it… That there’s communities on different servers. So now you need two pieces of information to find the correct community you were talking to a friend about. Other than that… it’s virtually the same as the old reddit from 2010.
