Big Luna Bloom fan.

Just posting to nag you about this: can !tails@lemmon.website be added as an exception to the automod?

One of the reasons it’s inconsistent is that Lemmy tries to balance the media it serves locally vs. the media it lets remote hosts serve. Also it’s a bit naïve about image conversion. So if you link to an actual GIF at giphy.com (for example), it works consistently across the most the most platforms if Lemmy leaves it alone. If it doesn’t, it’ll bring it in and convert it to a WebM file, which not all clients know what to do with. Even if they do though, looping isn’t always on by default for video, so the effect of a GIF that relies on looping might be nullified.

It’s probably best to focus on the clients with the biggest user-base, rather than try to target them all. For lemmy.world/c/gifs, the most popular posts have been uploaded to imgur.com - which convert most GIFs to MP4s - and the post’s author has linked to the inline version at i.imgur.com.

No settings page (as far as I’m aware), but you can use the API to get everything (posts, comments, etc):

step 1: get login token -

curl --request POST \
     --url https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user/login \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '
{
  "username_or_email": "2br02b",
  "password": "YOUR-PASSWORD"
}
'

step 2: use login token (big long string starting with ‘ey’) to get data -

curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user?username=2br02b&page=1' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR-JWT'

Increment page number until you have everything. source: https://lemmy.readme.io/reference/get_user

Edited to account for blahaj updating to 0.19.3 … hopefully that’s the last big instance to change.

It’s been about a week since sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world updated, so results from those instances will start appearing again soon.

Voyager has a setting for “No subscribed in All/Local” that does this. It’s better on than off, obviously, but it doesn’t turn All or Local into some kind of goldmine.

I get the sense that, unless you’re willing to do it yourself, feature requests for Lemmy don’t have much chance of being realised.

Bit mad, as in a bit strange - e.g. “it’s a bit mad to take a single word out of its obvious context for such a desperately cheap shot”.

Wait, what? A user posts a thing to a server, and that thing isn’t then duplicated to 50 other servers … yeah, I don’t see how that can work.

(I’m just kidding - your site looks neat.)

!quickanimalfacts@lemm.ee - yeah, go on then. subbed.

Oh, yeah, cross-posts are great - I think it’s something we’re all supposed to be doing. I wouldn’t say anything usually - just thought this image might raise questions that the creator could perhaps answer.

(sorry to intrude). This has had a few cross-posts on Lemmy. The link that goes to !tails@lemmon.website is attributed to the author of the image, so you can reply to them via that community if you wish.

(sorry to intrude). This has had a few cross-posts on Lemmy - this one technically wasn’t, but it seems Lemmy has picked up on it. If you want some ALT text, and to reply to author of this image, the link that goes to !tails@lemmon.website provides that.

Errr … I want to say it was in Captain America, but I was being vague 'cos I can’t really remember. I wasn’t expecting to be quizzed on it tbh.

The crawler at lemmyverse.net has picked up on an ngrok URL I’ve used for messing around with Lemmy. I was using it last night to play with PieFed, and saw it make about 20 attempts to read an API that isn’t there. I thought - oh, I wonder if that will break it - and sure, enough, there wasn’t a 6:00 update from it this morning. Ho hum.

These are pretty neat. Considering that close-up shots of hands are usually filmed separately (often with someone else’s hands*), you can probably do similar things with lots of other movies.

• my favourite one is in an Avengers film, where Black Widow presses a button, and the close-up is clearly a man’s hand.

Yeah it was pretty nifty in lots of ways. Loads of emulators, of course, and doing stuff like compiling apps directly on the device itself was neat.

Frustrating in lots of other ways too, though. I don’t think the Pyra ever really got off the ground, unfortunately.

This was always an impressive emulator - it was originally made for the Open Pandora (an ARM-based mini-computer not much bigger than a DS). It’s always been free for that - it’s just, you know, you’d have to own an Open Pandora (I do!)

In my mind, ‘Ripley’ is Sigourney Weaver in Alien. Whereas I don’t think this guy will stand a chance against a Xenomorph.

Not quite, no. I know what it isn’t at least.

I’ll keep going - I’m sure the article’s author is someone who genuinely uploaded some confidential info and then became really involved with privacy/GDPR etc, and not someone who was always been really involved with privacy/GDPR issues and now has a story to fit.
