Oh god how did this get here I am not good with computer
You’re more than welcome to post on shitty food porn. There’s not a lot of activity and the votes will let you know if it’s the right place (I don’t remove posts unless they’re breaking rules). It kind of has two interpretations - pictures of shitty food (self explanatory) or food porn that’s shitty (ie bad lighting, bad presentation, etc).
Or let me know if you start an “average food porn” community and I’m more than happy to link it in the sidebar of SFP.
Thanks! I’ll try converting the file format and see if that’ll work. I successfully uploaded a JPEG last night, so maybe it just doesn’t like PNG files anymore 🤷♂️
There seems to be an issue with uploading large images. I don’t know if anyone else has noticed it but I’m getting the error when trying to upload wallpapers to /c/wallpapers. I think it might be related to file size? Or maybe file format? It’s a 13MB .png file. I don’t remember running into issues with the old version when posting similar content.
Not the OP, but I’ve got the following bots blocked and it massively improved my Lemmy experience.
I’ve seen that option but unfortunately not every NSFW post is NSFW because of nudity. Like some of the post in the Ukraine community are marked NSFW for war reasons.
This is the thing I’m happiest to see and I hope it helps Lemmy grow more. Being able to block the NSFW/porn instances is such a quality-of-life improvement. I’ve got nothing against porn, but it’s a bad look if anyone can see your screen and every third post is nudity (even if it’s blurred).
OfficialPartner is another one. I had them and softwaresales posting spam in one of my communities.
Thanks for the work you guys do!
Changelog for anyone who’s interested.
There’s definitely going to be more reddit exoduses. Over the last 10 years, there were several moments where this could’ve happened but there weren’t any viable options (except Voat, but that went to the Nazis 👎). Now that there’s Lemmy, Squabbles, Tildes, etc…, I think people’s appetite for putting up with reddit’s bullshit is a lot less. I think the next big one will be when reddit introduces the new “awards” system in a couple of months.
I gave Lemmy a toque.
And then I was reminded of Bob and Doug, so…
It was [email protected] that closed down and merged into [email protected]
I’m in favour of defedding. It’s just Reddit spam that’s not needed here. If people find interesting things over on Reddit that also belong here, that’s one thing, but there’s no reason to make a 1:1 copy. Let Lemmy be Lemmy and let Reddit be Reddit. They don’t have to be the same thing.
Has anyone noticed @[email protected] as well? Is it doing the same thing?
Go for it man! I had never moderated over on Reddit but I wanted to contribute on Lemmy so I started up some communities. Everyone has behaved themselves so far and people have been pretty positive about things. Eventually it might get overwhelming (if Lemmy really takes off), but there’s always the option of adding more mods to help.
Release notes if anyone is interested. Lots of good stuff.
A lot of us just left a site because it was ruined by corporate greed. I don’t think corporations belong in the fediverse. If there’s a vote, I vote for defedding with Threads.
I’ve been trying to kickstart four communities because apparently I’m a masochist, but I’ve posted more in the last month than I did in the last 10 years on reddit. It reminds me a lot of my first couple of years on reddit (circa 2010/2011) and then my posting died off because you’d either get drowned out by the noise (hundreds or thousands of comments) or ignored in favour of a one liner joke.
I’ve seen a lot of people comparing Lemmy to early reddit, and I don’t necessarily disagree, but I feel like there’s one important distinction between the two. Even early reddit was driven by karma. There just wasn’t as much people >10 years ago. I find the lack of karma on Lemmy refreshing. How it’s gone back to the old forum way of just counting the number of posts is fantastic. It’s a weird habit to break out of though because part of me still wants to go “I got no upvotes, time to delete” or “I’m getting downvotes, better delete my post”.
I really like the idea behind “do not change the intention/message of the original title” instead of “the original title must be used”. Gives a little bit of flexibility to the situation.
I tried to combine the best of both works and added the following community rule to /c/Victoria:
Avoid editorializing/sensationalizing news article titles, i.e. do not change the intention/message of the original title.
Want to preface this by saying I’m not trying to attack, I’m just looking for some clarification so I fully understand. I’m going to use two of my posts as an example because I’ve changed titles to make things more clear/relevant to the community.
Post Title: “Emerson the elephant seal has departed from Oak Bay Marina beach”
Original article title: “Roving elephant seal gone from Oak Bay Marina beach”
Post Title: “11 Island breweries (6 from Greater Victoria) pick up medals at 2023 Canadian Brewing Awards”
Original title: “Greater Victoria breweries bring home hardware from national beer awards”
As I understand it, neither of these would be allowed under the new rule, correct?
My backlog was getting low (which is rare), so I’ve stocked up to last a while, or at least until the winter sale.
