Do you happen to have a way to search without making an account?

[–] ex_06@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 week ago

tbf op said they made a flag, not "THE" flag :)

[–] ex_06@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago

Ohhhh ok it's less bad than i thought! Thank you for the clarification

[–] ex_06@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Just to be clear:

basically, until now, instance ban was not an actual instance ban but "ban from the communities that person had in cache from my instance"?

So if, for example, a new community was made, the person could just write there like not instance banned?

How are groups permission still be this bad after all these years e_e

for reddit it happens that when an item reaches the ''top month'' status, it gets added to the rss

[–] ex_06@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

It's acceptable for some communities, not for others...

To be fair I also don't like the fact that "private" usually means that the server admins can still read what's inside. I get it for images but for text...

MLS on activitypub is very much needed

The weakest link is the social element.

From one sysadmin to watch, now there would be at least 2. It's better to not give a false sense of security, so I understand why one would not federate them at all.

Maybe "gated" communities would be better rather than private in the case you refer to

 

are there any plans to extend the rss feeds to other possibilities like those in Lemmy or Reddit? Search related, user personal feeds (as in my home or my notifications as a secret rss I can use), ranking related (top month top week etc) and so on.

The public records from the companies that sell stocks are not so useful anyway.

Obviously I'd prefer to know more about Proton spending, but the examples made in the video like "I want to know how much proton has spent on that YouTube ad" are just impossible. You can open an Apple shareholders report and check it yourself.

Still, I'd rather have no capitalism rather than capitalism + financial transparency reports. One day they will sue you if you don't pursuit more profit. Not gonna happen with foundations.

edit: I misread the comment and answered like you were referring to openai and google and not mozilla and wikipedia, sorry

[–] ex_06@slrpnk.net 7 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (2 children)

It's like saying Mozilla is a for profit or Wikipedia is a for profit.

Having a for profit company under the non profit ownership is just to ease bureaucracy.

This doesn't change the fact that the ultimate owner is the foundation and so there is no shareholder to pressure etc.

A counter argument to this could have been exploring the OpenAI case and how it's trying to get out of the no profit model. But for some reason privacy YouTubers never make that much research into stuff... Almost like they are just earning on that engagement that you get when not being boringly nuanced :)

The YouTuber also states that 9 privacy policies are bad and tbh Proton could probably unify some of them but the thing is that they are actually different: they said in the past, for example, that privacy laws for VPNs in Switzerland are better than those for emails, so it's pretty ok to have 2 different privacy policies (I wonder if they could at least unifiy drive, mail calendar ones). Google can have just one because it's simply "we gather as much data as we can" for every service they have.

as you sensed, it's under the website control: readers just check the rss ''file'' and show it to you in a nice way, every now and then they check for new articles and if your readers supports it you can save the older ones as they come

there can be also limits hardcoded in the reader that don't let you take more than x items from a new feed but anyway the most majority of rss files just have the last y items, it's rare that they expose everything (it would be a mess)

[–] ex_06@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

Post-capitalism is just "we are the good crypto bros". It's true that they are not bad people, but it's still capitalism without any doubt.

[–] ex_06@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

That's not happening to me... I've installed it from brew and there is no need for me to do anything weird except the occasional "this app was downloaded from internet so you allow it" when updating from brew (stuff that gets updated natively doesn't even ask this)

 

missing lemmy servers

theme examples of subreddit domain ideas note
outdoor r/outdoors r/ultralight .camp
productivity beware the cringe
travel r/travel r/solotravel .travel
all about pets, dogs bunnies cats etc any pet sub lol especially r/whatswrongwithyourdog .pet could be heavy on images, except for the places where you ask for help about care
what's this r/whatsthissnake/ r/whatisthisfish r/whatsthisrock r/whatsthisbird r/whatsthisplant/ r/whatisthisthing r/whatsthisbug whatsthatbug.com very heavy on images (tbf tho webp are veeeery little)
patient consumers r/onebag r/patientgamers r/patientconsumers .report .review .reviews

gaming r/patientgamers r/macgaming r/linuxgaming r/steamdeck .gg (country) .games
instance for every city? mabe for every region? could also work as a group or bulletin board shared between mastodon isntances
European Union hub r/europe r/2westerneurope4you r/yurop r/europeanfederalists r/askeuropeans r/askeu .eu europe.pub is not specific enough and in fact it's full of useless posts and subs (or btw every european server could host one of these and then have a shared simple landing page to explain which is where)
medical advices would need very hard and specialized moderation
 

Hi! It’s me as usual.

I was wondering if there could be a way for lemmy when federating to at least fetch:

  • community names
  • community nicknames
  • usernames

I’m a fan of the fact that it doesn’t fetch everything because it would be a mess very quickly and it makes no sense to fetch a whole server because one user of your instance maybe wants to follow a single community from a super big instance… But names? So when people search for communities don’t need to “force” federation check using the exact syntax.

Cannot claim an instance because of API error both with or without mastodon

Edit solution: allowlist gui.fediseer.com

 

When not logged in, some instances have “all” by default while others have “local”.

Is there a config line to choose it?

 
 

On this server we are often victim of this stuff, i hope we can all improve

 

I get “couldn’t find feed at specified location” when trying to add rss from Lemmy.ml

 

I’d like to know if someone has been successfully hosting Lemmy with yunohost because I’m pondering to start doing it but it’s not available on arm so I cannot test it without start paying a vps.

So ye, are there any hiccups or weird behaviors?

 

I think that often the confusion when talking about solarpunk happens because solarpunk as per now it's a term that includes different subset of its characteristics without being necessarily superimposable with each other

2 examples:

  • can have solarpunk aesthetic produced in a non solarpunk way
  • can have solarpunk movements not relying on the solarpunk aesthethic
 

I think this reasoning applies well to solarpunk. It’s true that ethical consumerism doesn’t scale etc but we have to resist the urge to give money to the people who will commodify solarpunk just for cheap merch and media.

For example: game full of bad messages but made by a workers coop and ethically distributed > game with solarpunk aesthethic made by limited liability company that took or wants to take VCs money and run in the capital race
