Ah makes sense, thanks for letting me know 👍

I think you forgot the link (also, trying out that lemsha.re site posted yesterday to [email protected]):

Not really a question, but something to think about is being more strict about backwards compatibility so that people don’t get burnt out on having stuff break. Coming from this post by the Tesseract dev, who did not like the breaking changes to the v3 API in 1.0: https://dubvee.org/post/2904152

To formulate that into an actual question, do you think the changes are still worth it and you’d make the same decision to break backwards compatibility?

You might enjoy reading The Egg by Andy Weir, if you haven’t already

Blazing Saddles. It killed the western genre for a long time because of how well it parodied them

BTW, you might want to include these links in your post:

Smart link: [email protected]

URL link: Metal Detecting

I’ve never tried it past a few minutes, but I don’t think so?

Thanks! FYI, you can undelete a comment pretty easily, so if you accidentally delete it, just undelete it.

It’s based on markdown. Here’s two ways you can write the link:

!flask@lemm.ee

[!flask@lemm.ee](https://lemm.ee/c/flask) 

The first one is a link that goes to the community from your current instance, which is handy. E.g. when I click it, I’ll go to https://discuss.online/c/[email protected]. If someone on lemmy.world clicks it, they’ll go to https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]. This format is specific to Lemmy, but is similar to reddit’s /r/flask syntax.

The second link is a regular markdown link, and has the general format of [regular text](some url). This will always go straight to the URL, and won’t have the above behavior. Generally for linking stuff like this, the first option is preferred.

All that said, to answer your question, I think you just typo’ed the URL. You typed lemm.me (extra m) instead of lemm.ee

Not really sure how that works with federation. You’re not “using” lemmy.world, you’re using lemm.ee, which has a copy of content from lemmy.world.

Might want to include this in the post as well: [email protected]

I have multiple accounts, but only really for moderation purposes. Cross-instance moderation is semi-broken, so it’s easier to do it that way. Other than that, having an alt is useful in case your main instance goes down.

I wouldn’t generally worry about impersonation, if someone tries it you could contact the admin of that instance and they’re generally pretty responsive.

Pixelfed/Mastodon/etc sort of work with Lemmy, in that they can see Lemmy posts. Lemmy can see posts from them if you tag them appropriately, which rarely happens. They only sort of federate properly. And yeah, Loops is like TikTok for the Fediverse.

I’m not saying PieFed is better than Lemmy, just saying that apart from Lemmy, your best option is probably PieFed atm.

Mostly Lemmy via discuss.online, with a little bit of Pixelfed via social.photo and Mastodon via utter.online.

I was using Loops pretty heavily for a while, but the most recent update made it not work right on my phone (and there’s no web version), so maybe I’ll try again when it’s out of beta. It’s also not truly federated atm, so only sort of counts.

I’ve tried out a bit of PieFed and it looks really nice. Probably the best Lemmy threadiverse alternative atm. The dev does some interesting experiments like Private Voting

Sorry, worded that somewhat confusingly. FairEmail and Thunderbird are both open source apps that I use as clients for my Fastmail account, which probably isn’t open source (I haven’t checked)

I use Fastmail with a custom domain for hosting, and FairEmail as my Android app and Thunderbird as my desktop client. Pretty happy with that setup, the apps don’t do any data mining and are fully open source

Thanks for reminding me of that comic 👍

Thanks (It was bothering me

The linked site has a bit more about it, but usually you see toggle switches like that with relatively “balanced” options. “On” / “Off” are about the same width when rendered as text. It’s easy then to just make the switch big enough for the bigger option and everything’s good. What happens if you have “On” and “Some really long text option that should probably be shorter”? The image shows what it looks like toggled to “On”, and then goes over two solutions, neither of which are great options:

• Use the smallest size and cut off the larger text. Not really a viable option
• Use the longest size, but when the shorter option is toggled to, you’re left with a bunch of blank space

Related, pagination can still get broken if you try hard enough. Some sites have pagination, but bump up the id of old posts every time there’s a new post, so it’s still useless because the links will change content
