I'll work on a user style for this, and other niggles, tomorrow.

I wonder if Gab was invited. It would be hilarious if the only instances willing to federate with Meta were Nazis.

You don't need to read much history to find plenty of bad things done by non-commercial entities, e.g. governments. Or churches.

It's not commerce that is the problem, it is oppression. Use of my code for oppressive purposes is the thing I want to avoid.

I expect it will be - it seems to almost work already. For example, take this peertube channel - https://tube.arthack.nz/c/intertwingled/videos?s=1.

I tried a few different things in the kbin search and @intertwingled@tube.arthack.nz got a result that I could subscribe to. If that channel posts another video, it might show up in kbin. Will it be a microblog? A thread? A magazine? Who knows! kbin seems very confused about all of this.

Often, the option to downvote is the only thing stopping me from getting sucked into some stupid argument with an idiot. It is a massive productivity booster. Downvote and move on.

I wish kbin would hide posts with lots of downvotes...

Lemmy has a bug where when you search it won't show any results at first, and then 10 seconds later it'll show your magazine. Are you waiting 10+ seconds?

Wanna see something that makes even Perl look elegant and readable? Check out any sed script. Here's tetris, in sed: https://github.com/uuner/sedtris/blob/master/sedtris.sed

Go to https://kbin.social/settings/general and choose the Subscribed home page.

Content from before you subscribe is not sent, only from that point onwards (unless someone else on the same server already subscribed to it).

Yup. There needs to be some de-duplication code, somehow.

It doesn't work for me, on Firefox or Chrome. Chrome reports ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR

I have a Yoga 530, running KDE 5.24.4. The touch functionality is really broken, basically unusable. Try Gnome, anything is better than this.

When things are working properly, it does.

Sorry to get your hopes up - it turns out that moving the image to the left is really hard (aka I don't know CSS grid very well). Also the other changes I wanted ended up being identical to "Compact mode" which you can enable with the cog in the top right. Highly recommended.

Another thing to bear in mind is that lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are totally overloaded at present. While their UI might function Ok, behind the scenes there are queues of content to be sent out to other servers that get pretty choked up.

This seems ideal for something like ActivityPub where data is flowing between different people and places all the time. Looks like the tooling isn't there yet, though.
