Thing is that we dont have any information about someone who visits joinlemmy, other than the IP address which gives the location, and Accept-Language HTTP headers. So it attempts to give useful suggestions with that limited info.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site/blob/main/src/shared/data/instances-definitions.ts#L13

There are multiple defaults on https://join-lemmy.org/

Its already solved, you get an automatic instance suggestion here: https://join-lemmy.org/

Success, you are a sandwich now!

That comment is deleted, did you actually read it? If you check the modlog you will see that I didnt defend CSAM at all, but was only defending another user. Just to make it clear for you, I am against pedophilia. Its honestly impressive, you dont know me at all you try to paint me as some kind of evil supervillain over a few misinterpreted comments.

Good point, I brought this up in the issue: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/372

Ah, worth reporting this to Bridgyfed so they keep the existing formatting.

Edit: Done

Yes thats why I said it partly federates. The Bridgyfed issue is still open, so there are probably more changes needed.

For posts from microblogging platforms, Lemmy uses the first line as title. So make sure to keep the first line short, and put anything extra into separate lines (links, mentions, extra text etc).

In theory it should work, assuming that Bridgyfed federates the mention to Lemmy. Someone with a Bluesky account would have to test it.

The vote counter seems to be broken (it’s different on different Lemmy instances), is this the same issue as Mastodon not federating likes properly?

That is normal, for example if one instance has some users banned then their votes wont count. If another instance doesnt ban those users, it will count their votes as well. Besides user bans this can also happen with instance blocks.

Yes that’s the charme of it, just like the player character you are thrown into this strange, brutal world and have to figure out how to survive. The beginning is difficult, but that makes it all the more satisfying later in the game when you actually become powerful.

Regarding mods, you should definitely get one for improved inventory, and there’s also a DirectX 11 mod for better graphics.

Gothic 1 and 2 (from 2001 and 2002 respectively) are still some of the best games I ever played. There is also a very active modding community, and some mods are even much better than the original game.

The devs for desktop Syncthing were different from the Syncthing-Android devs. There was some collaboration but in the end the development was mostly separate. Source: I made syncthing-android.

Ads dont really work with federation, because you could simply access the content from another instance which doesnt have ads. Even if ads are directly encoded in the video file, it wouldnt be so hard to add something like sponsorblock to a Peertube instance.

It seems to me that our only chance is to wait for commercial platforms to enshittify and destroy themselves, because we can never compete with the amount of money and resources they have available.

Yes this will be part of Lemmy 1.0 (its already implemented).

The change only affects posts which were deleted by the creator and have at least one comment. If the post was removed by a mod or admin the behaviour remains unchanged, and only the creator as well as mods/admins can view it.

For comments there is no change. For posts, if you delete a post which has no comments it wont be visible to anyone else. If it has comments and you delete the post, then it will only be accessible by direct link but not via post listings on the community page or frontpage.

This will be partially addressed in Lemmy 1.0 by making deleted posts and their comments viewable, but only by direct link (not via post listings).

We always dream, but usually we cant remember the dreams. It helps to keep a dream journal, ie every morning directly after waking up, write down as much as you remember from last nights dreams (or instead talk about it with someone). Over time you will remember more and more details.
