Anything from https://lemmon.website is me too.
I think it’s just a desire to indicate some uncertainty about something (like - I’m not an expert, my opinion on whatever could change with time or new information). A full stop seems arrogant somehow.
I realise it’s not a good impulse and mostly resist. Mostly …
(that last one’s nothing to do with the above reasoning, it’s just a line from Aliens that’s stuck in my head).
Wanting to end all text communications with ellipses …
Ranked by complexity:
Think we should maybe walk before we run here.
Most of their communities look to be German, but their biggest one - !europe@feddit.org - is English language only
Communities on feddit.de won’t update 'cos the instance is kaput - the replacement is https://feddit.org/
I’ll admit to assuming he must be kind of a cool nerd for naming some of his SpaceX things after Culture ships (from Iain M. Banks’ novels), but now I feel sullied by association from having enjoyed the same books.
If they’re just looking for the word ‘lemmy’ in the URL, link to the version of the post from an instance that doesn’t have ‘lemmy’ in. E.g. for this post, instead of https://lemmy.ml/post/19458783, link to https://piefed.social/post/208919 or some even more obscure platform.
On lemmy.ml, it’s showing that your post has been made in the ‘afaraf’ language btw, so most people won’t see it, and it’s probably worth fixing with an edit.
I saw that there’s !chronicillness@lemmy.world
Dunno if it’s exactly what you’re looking for - it seems quite memey
It depends. It seems like Lemmy batches up its activity to send to remote instances - so, per instance, it sleeps for a bit, then sends what it has. If both a Create and an Update are in the same batch, Lemmy just sends the Update. If they don’t happen to be in the same batch though, it sends both activities.
(this is outsider observation, not insider knowledge)
I wouldn’t do this personally, but if I did, I think I’d at least pipe the results to head -n 1 to only act on the first result.
That’s kinda funny, in a way - unsophisticated prevention for an unsophisticated attack.
Everyone trying to use the Internet normally suffers due to this kind of stuff.
You’re right about the cause: Lemmy’s front-end isn’t giving its backend enough time to do everything it needs to do for an unfamiliar commentary.
It works better if you copy / paste the link into Search. MBin effectively redirects all these links to its Search anyway, so maybe that’s an option.
lemm.ee have upp’d to 0.19.4, and presumably turned on the Image Proxying thing - this is what I get for: https://lemm.ee/post/34040618

It seems to be quite a lot for the server it’s hosted on though (which is not the snappiest). There are, of course, still areas in the world where - for one reason or another - people still are effectively on dial-up speed-wise.
Buster should turn their attention to the size of the images uploaded to servers like this: 1.1M is arguably overkill for this one.
This isn’t really my area, but I’ll have a crack. From what I understand, Lemmy uses the ‘meta og:image’ tag to grab a thumbnail. Inspecting your site, I can see that that tag is in the html head. However, if you just ‘curl’ the URL, then it isn’t in the results. Using ‘curl’ for URLs from sites that are known to work in terms of generating thumbnails (theguardian and bbc), the tag is visible in the result.
This suggests that your site is using further scripting on page load to provide the meta tags, whereas perhaps Lemmy can only get them if they are provided immediately. There are other sites (like Reuters), who use additional scripting, that Lemmy is unable to get thumbnails for also (e.g. https://lemmy.world/post/16203031)
It probably is. I’d tried Mastodon but found myself not going back. Phanpy re-invigorated my interest in it.
Accounts (which contain the private key that signs the headers in your posts, and the public key to verify) are required for ActivityPub to work.
Hey! This guy doesn’t know about the three seashells!
