Could you imagine… if someone spent a year on the JWST… then returned to earth…

how mellow that person would be.

I love the joy you feel from the appearance of a monarch - knowing what that signifies.

And I love the way you study the overall water channel.

I think you have to select multiple languages in settings.

Select “Undetermined, English, and any others” (and then save).

(this language setting affects the web app, mobile app, and search results)

That might fix it buddy.

This User Script called Fediverse Redirector auto-redirects all Community, Post, and User pages to your home instance. It works well.

• Just click install on that page - it will be added to TamperMonkey (or similar).

• Then click settings (under the script) and enter your home lemmy instance.

And to directly answer your question: the raw code is visible in that repo, so you could explore how the post redirect query was constructed.

Just pick one of the suggestions and start doing it.

There are a lot of great ideas in your other post.

Yes, this issue has been fixed and merged into 18.1 (the next lemmy version).

• You can see the lemmy-UI github issue here.

• You can see the fix/merge here.

And as a temporary fix (until 18.1 releases) - if you click the “create post” button, then click the “back” button, the subscribe button should magically appear.

You can see all open feature-requests and bugs in the memmy github repo.

In some cases, you can read dev comments about fixing that issue.

That’s true - Lemmy displays new comments above “top” comments, allowing them to be seen by everyone.

It’s fun to run test builds - and I love when a new version is ready.

And the new text-size slider is most excellent.

1. To find new communities - go to https://lemmyverse.net/communities, click the top right “Home” icon and input your home instance (ex: lemmy.world)… now you can open/subscribe to every community you like.

2. Get a good mobile app - they are listed here (with a ton of other great new-user tips): https://lemmy.ml/post/1470777

3. Change your default “Sort Type” to “Subscribed + New” (in settings) - now you have a fresh feed of your exact interests, every time you open Lemmy.

4. Communicate in a genuine, open-minded way - to me, Lemmy is a good place to really connect with people, and have honest discussions (versus the often more ‘performative’ tone of greeddit).

Yeah Open Source is the foundation, and the future!

Yeah - the name was changed from Limbo to Liftoff, but they kept the same invite code.

It is the correct link though - that URL is identical to the invite URL in the newest Liftoff welcome post.

1. Go to the app store, and install the app called Test Flight.

2. Then click this invite link (on your phone)

3. Click ‘Start Testing’

Yes, I see the same glitch - in both local and remote unsubscribed communities:

• local: https://lemmy.ml/c/books
• remote: https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]

Both “Subscribe” and “Block Community” are showing as plain text, yet they are probably meant to be a tags, like the “Create a Post” button:

• Create a post

Good catch - you could create an issue on the lemmy-UI issues

I agree, there is a time for purposeful sarcasm.

To me, it requires two conditions:

1. A person has already expressed their real perspective to a specific ‘opponent’, and

2. That specific opponent cannot see the hole in their own logic.

This Norm MacDonald radio clip is a good example.

He explains his true perspective, and only switches to sarcasm for one sentence (at 5:25), to show the opponent how she is being goofy [and it works].

His foundation of sincerity gives context to the sarcasm.

Conversely - nowadays - a common ‘communication style’ is to just spray aimless sarcasm at distant or imaginary foes,

which (to me) reflects a deeper cultural issue…

a hiding behind mockery, a suppression of real constructive bravery,

just dunking on one-dimensional charicatures of strangers (who might not actually exist).

[So I agree with you - there are times for purposeful sarcasm.]

This is a very short story about sarcasm:

Ted opposes racist rants.

Yesterday - Ted posted a few exaggerated racist rants (sometimes with the /s).

2,177 people saw Ted’s racist rants.

• 50% of them guessed he was joking.

• 98% of them would not have seen a racist rant yesterday, if it weren’t for Ted’s little gag.

So the question is:

Despite the sarcasm… isn’t Ted just spreading more of what he honestly deplores?

Is Ted subverting his own integrity?

Why not say how we actually feel?

Okay - What value does a haiku bot add?

It only tells you that a post was 17 syllables…

• and then duplicates a comment (spam),
• and then stretches the duplicated comment vertically (spam).

If you agree that most bots are spam, then why are you making and promoting bots?

Here’s a human haiku:

bots are part of what
made reddit such a wasteland.
most bots are just spam.

i wish lemmy would
remain a place for humans.
why can’t we just talk?

Yeah lemmy is a chill place.

It is wild to watch the rapid expansion.
