Go to the nearest jewelry store and buy everything in it. Wait an hour, return it as per the refund policy. If there is no refund policy then I would sell it off. Even if I lost 50% on the sell back, that's still half a mil in cash.

Most popular jewelers have at least a 30 day refund policy.

A baby born on Dec 31st is 1 year old, and the next day would be 2 years old ... A 2 day old baby would be considered 2 years old. Glad they decided that this was beyond odd.

Not a game, but the Dreamcast as a system. Supported online play that was not/under utilized. Had a mini screen in the save game cartridge. I miss that system.

If you want a particular community you can create it!

No confirmation that it will be there at launch but great news that he's committed to supporting it!

Yeah plus it makes sense given the /c/

Bye bye encryption

It crawls all instances like twice a day. I haven't had any issues. You can even set your home Instance so all links open correctly.

I don't find toast to be as comprehensive as Lemmyverse

He said in the discord that test builds will be coming soon, and that combined with his mention of the splash screen lead me to believe...yes? Maybe? Don't expect everything to be included, but I bet he probably wants something released before the end of the month. I know I would if I were him.

I think it's more of people wanting to stick with the developers and apps that they have used on reddit. Some of which have been using and supporting for almost a decade. It also means more of an endorsement for Lemmy, as some reddit sync users wouldn't consider Lemmy otherwise. Lastly, a significant number of power users (those that actually post, comment, and otherwise contribute) use third party apps over the official app, meaning that having support for these apps on Lemmy will hopefully bring over quality users and not just a larger quantity users.

That's my take on it, and I am someone very pro open source.

Browser extension coming for the rest of the world in 3...2...1...

request that he release it on Fdroid!

He might add kbin support. A lot of people have been requesting it.

There is also this: !ArtemisApp@kbin.social

Reddit sync was android only, so I bet this will probably me as well. I hear memmy is coming along quickly though!

Yeah, j would just hold off until 0.18/0.18.1 is well established. It made my community undiscoverable for about a week. Really stalled my growth and was very frustrating.

This is awesome!

It is very frustrating. We were growing quite fast until this happened.

sadly, you are right. But it doesnt close the door completely.

Not that I am aware of unfortunately.

Imagine there were multiple reddit websites. Reddit.com, reddit.org, reddit.social, etc. Doesn't matter what account you have, you can see communities/subreddits across anyone of them.

That's Lemmy.

When you make a lemmy account, it's more like an email address. You are evolone@lemmy.ml, I am cosmicsploogedrizzle@lemmy.ml. Someone else is joeblow@beehaw.org. We can all chat and post and have a good time no matter what website/instance we post to.

That's how users work on lemmy. Just like email. Communities on lemmy work the exact same way as users.

If all you're interested in is that, then you can stop there and fully enjoy your time with lemmy as a reddit replacement.

The future potential and complexity comes from the next part:

The fediverse is someone said, "hey, you know how people on reddit can't follow people on Twitter, or people on YouTube can't subscribe to subreddits, or people on Instagram can't leave YouTube comments? Well let's make it so you can.

Now this isn't perfectly implemented at the moment, and there are a lot of growing pains (it's kinda like the wild wild West), but you can make a mastodon account (like Twitter), and follow the this lemmy community !asklemmy@lemmy.ml on it, and you'll see all the posts and all the comments that you would otherwise see on lemmy, just in a twitter-like format.

It's not perfect and compatibility across these decentealized apps is not perfectly impremented atm, but in the future you could theoretically have one giant interconnected web where everything from "Twitter" to "reddit" to "YouTube" to "Instagram" to whatever fediverse equivalent app are all interwoven. And if any instance of them gets a big enough head to pull something like reddit is pulling, or what Twitter has been pulling, the community can just make a new "email" on a different instance/website and continue as of nothing changed. No single website/instance can abuse their power, because another instance can be spun up any time.

Yeah, it's gonna be a bit before the apps feel like a one stop shop. Even jerboa lacks the mod features I need for my community. So I still use the website as a PWA

It does, but I misspelled remind as remimd lol

The remote mod bug is fixed as long as your community is on 0.18. My community was suffering from it and it is fixed now. As for other issues, I'm not sure. I have one mod account on lemmy.world and one mod account on lemmy.ml, the only thing I've noticed is that the feeds look very different. Different number of posts and comments and upvotes depending on what account I'm looking at it with. Lemmy.world is still on 0.17.4 while lemmy.ml is on 0.18.0. So I'm hoping when everyone is on 0.18 this should resolve itself.

If your community is not on 0.18 yet, just avoid remote modding for now to avoid the bug.

Just type it like that and if you click it you stay in your instance

When I search for it in the kbin subreddit, it looks like the post is deleted. Do you have a link? Very interested

I second the motion

Devs will be addressing the submitted captcha fix after the weekend (they said so on GitHub). So I hope 0.18.1 drops early next week. They wanted 0.18 released before 3rd party apps die, so I presume having the largest instance holding back will give them a reason to push it before the end of the week.
