I check into Reddit once in a while, but I mostly hang out here now.

One thing I find confusing is the notification bell icon. I notice that even if I check it, it still registers the same number of notifications that it had done previously. This number never seems to go down. What’s with that?

Okay, thanks. Yes, that makes sense. I guess the fact that Reddit URL posts often generate an accompanying image (from the URL) whereas that’s less the case here, made me believe that it (having an image accompany a post) could be manually done here. This belief was fostered by how the layout is organized here, in that it’s vertical rather than horizontal, with the URL option above the image option. This suggested a hierarchy, where URL would still be recognized if it was specified, with the image supporting this rather than overriding it. Alas, that’s not the case. In Reddit, where the post structure layout is more horizontal (at least when using a laptop/desktop – don’t know about mobile) it’s clear that a choice of image negates creating a URL post.

What you describe is what I was hoping for. However, I found that pressing upon the post simply resulted in the image being displayed without an accompanying link to the URL.

I saw on the CBC last night a story of a restaurant worker who was fired because she wore a mask. That’s how bonkers we in Canada have become lately.

To answer my own question, I find that lemmur does not work on my phone. So, Jerboa it is.

I’m new here. I love Lemmy. It took me a bit to get it working right (issues with the language settings), but now that it is working, I think it’s great. I currently use it on my laptop, but I’m also considering an app for my phone. I found two here on F-Droid, those being Jerboa and lemmur. Does anyone have any opinions on which is the better app?

We could go full lemming: https://openclipart.org/detail/120943/lemming

apt remove <blah>, or, and even better,

apt purge <blah>

Okay, yes, this is where the issue was. Undetermined was enabled, but English was not. Enabling both of these options has fixed it. Thanks so much!

Fabulous!

I’ve tried that and the behaviour is still the same. Likewise, I’ve tried Chromium (Debian version of Chrome) rather than Firefox, and the behaviour is still the same.

Also, the only way of responding to your comment is via my Inbox. Responding to a comment via the thread does not work. Often I can’t see the comments (except through my Inbox, or if I log out).

Here’s another quick photo from today (2023-07-17), supposedly displaying all the post of the past week. Clearly there were more. I can see more when I log out and just browse the group, but when I log in many posts are not displayed.

Attempt number two. These images came from the OpenClipArt gallery.

It’s Lemmy from Motorhead, who was part of the inspiration for the name of the software:

Where does the name come from?

It was nameless for a long time, but I wanted to keep with the fediverse tradition of naming projects after animals. I was playing that old-school game Lemmings, and Lemmy (from motorhead) had passed away that week, and we held a few polls for names, and I went with that.

Yes. It hasn’t seemed to help.

I found “show read posts”, which is checked in my settings. So that isn’t the reason.

It’s still happening. The list of posts that I get is still incomplete.

Here’s a Lemmy themed logo which is indicative of where the instance is located (that being Canada).

I don’t see this option in my settings.

Thanks, yes, that is where it’s listed. I just noticed the “unread” and “all” filters, which (being set on the default “unread”) buggered up the list. And thanks for the documentation link. I’ll take a look.
