Someone needs to start a "campaign" for naming and shaming companies who advertises on Reddit. "[This company] supports a company that actively discriminates against the disabled. #SayNoToReddit"

r/Blind is still a valuable resource for many people. No sense denying people access to it. r/Blind mods already created a Lemmy instance which they try to promote for their members. But learning new software can be challenging when you can't see, especially if the software isn't very accessible.

Some of the big things that happened in the past 24h or so:

  • r/LegalAdviceUK wants to move their 800k+ community to another platform. Their members might be testing Lemmy.
  • Apollo developer posted another lengthy post about Reddit and their leadership.

Also r/ModCoord has started recommending moderators to move their communities to other platforms, like Lemmy.

I am sure they are breaking some made up rule the Admins will start enforcing in the next couple of days.

There's also pornlemmy.com. You don't need to be logged in to view posts and there's no anime/hentai or aigen stuff.

As far as I know Lemmy stores only text locally and images and such will be linked to the external instance. Text doesn't use much disk space, so that shouldn't be a big a problem. Sometimes when you browse Lemmy, you notice posts that have broken links to images. It's because the other instance is down, but you can still see the text portion of the posts on your home instance.

Did you just ask that has Reddit ever given anything back to their volunteers, besides sticks, rocks and ill will?

That list won't show which instances have block the home instance. The blocked list lists only the instances the home instance has blocked, not the other way around.

That's the one line that jumped at my face as well when I read that interview. At least one other app developer said they'd have to pay about the same amount of money for Reddit. So all the third party apps would probably be something like 60 million+/year with those numbers.

Relay for Reddit is planning to go subscription only. They are currently planning 2-3 USD per month price point, based on their analysis of users using 100 API calls per day on average. But if the subscription fee drives away low-rate users, they will likely need to increase the price. https://www.reddit.com/r/RelayForReddit/comments/147152b/update_how_the_current_api_changes_would_impact/

Use your instance's search feature. You can search

  • Name of community: No Stupid Questions
  • By using !community@instance syntax: !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
  • URL of the community: https://lemmy.world/c/nostupidquestions

First option won't work if your instance hasn't federated the community yet. The last option is best in my opinion.

Dawn of the first day. 72 hours remains.

At the bottom of the page, it says something like "BE 0.17.4". BE means BackEnd, in this case that would be Lemmy.

r/Blind mods created their own Lemmy instance at https://rblind.com/. They use some beta features and their own modifications to make it more accessible.

It’s not a feature of Lemmy and, I guess, no-one has wanted to create it for their app. You should submit this idea to the Lemmy developers so it will eventually be a feature in every app.

Let’s just all agree that some prefers Kbin’s interface and others like Lemmy.

Make sure that your changes actually “sticks”. There are multiple reports of people trying to delete or edit posts, only for them to come back soon after. It seems that deleting isn’t possible and when mass editing posts, there needs to be long enough delay (5 seconds or so) between each edit.

I think one reason is that Bethesda's previous game's, Fallout 76's, release didn't go very smoothly. Not at all smoothly. Internet Historian has a good video about that: The Fall of 76

Lemmy.world is not yet 0.18, so that too might affect it.

There's also Memmy. They just released their first version through TestFlight. I haven't tested it yet.

I managed to visit when the server was 0.18.1-rc. I didn’t see any posts and the selector for Subscribed, Local and All was “empty”, as in nothing was selected and I could not select anything.

Some communities have bots that copies posts from Reddit. Some do that so there would be more content in Lemmy. Those bots probably don't break any rules set by the Admins of those instances.

Personally I don't like that content is being copied without the permission of those who made the posts in Reddit. Also, in some cases it sort of defies the whole point of the community. For example, one of the Explain Like I'm Five communities has a bot like that. The bot includes a link to the original post. Why would anyone reply to the bot's post, when you can just read the explanation from the original post? That doesn't help make Lemmy more active place when a bot posts things and no human ever replies to them.

Well this turned ugly fast.

Huffman, also a Reddit co-founder, said he plans to pursue changes to Reddit’s moderator removal policy to allow ordinary users to vote moderators out more easily if their decisions aren’t popular. He said the new system would be more democratic and allow a wider set of people to hold moderators accountable

Reddit CEO slams protest leaders, saying he'll change rules that favor ‘landed gentry’

There are currently no Kbin apps because Kbin doesn't have an API yet.

They also have ourblind.com which currently only points to their Discord. They are planning to use that as landing page to their Reddit, Lemmy and Discord communities.

Maybe, but how many of them are by bots?
