The tricky part is getting people to use it, for now most people seem to be fine using the general !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com community even for usenet.

If the !piracy community is not that busy, is that an issue? There will always be time to redirect people to !usenet once it gets too busy

 

The Fire Nation ships are based on the design of the IJN ships in WW2, particularly the Yamato. For the Case of the Royal Sloop, I find it funny that they gave it a literal pagoda mast as this design feature on Japanese ships in WW2 has been the source of much ridicule and mockery due to them being so awkwardly and comically tall. The most notorious example of such mockery being towards the Fuso class battleships.

Ideally a third option would be available… however Lemmy has offered none

Lemmy allows instances to block specific communities, as LW does with the piracy communities

Yes, I had those on my radar for a bit, but the 1000 bucks is probably a bit too much for me

I would also like to have a point-and-shoot camera where the sensor would be much larger than the ones of the majority of phones.

Seems too niche of a market, but would be nice

About the first one, you might want to read this: https://lemmy.world/post/20841197

Probably the second one, !movies@lemm.ee

Always nice, are you also on !stardewvalley@lemm.ee ?

Basically: yes the dropdown menu appears, just as for usernames, but if you choose the item from the dropdown that you see, the Lemmy UI will do the wrong thing. My first link was made using the dropdown, while my second ignored the dropdown and just used the exclamation mark. Notice how my first link takes you to an entirely different instance? But the second link goes to the version of that community while keeping you on your same instance.

Jumping in, but I'm very curious about this. I've never seen the dropdown menu not create "!community@instance.org" links.

I am now taking my discussion.online alt to see, and with !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca, created from the dropdown, the link works as expected.

How do you manage to get harcoded links from the dropdown?

I skimmed through it, it's actually a decent article.

No of course not but I subscribe to the original Reddiquette philosophy. Downvotes arne’t for disagreement. They were originally a form of user-moderation to stop spam. Unfortunately about a decade ago after the Digg exodus the users of Reddit forgot that original usage and so you’d end up being downvoted and not knowing why. It doesn’t foster debate or discussion. It’s a cheap way to snipe someone down without being responsible or engaging them.

Very true, and that's why I'm more and more inclined to use an instance without downvotes. With the report button available, downvotes just seem like a shortcut for hivemind.
