is there any eta for on site video embeds being fixed?

[–] ruud 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Working on that too! Maybe also related to ratelimiting

How do I view posts by cards like modern reddit? I dislike having to click on the image attached to the post to view it.

[–] s38b35M5 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In Jerboa, you can choose card, compact card and list (I may have the names wrong).

[–] Robbery 2 points 1 year ago

I meant the website on desktop.

Am I allowed to make a NSFW community here?

[–] ruud 4 points 1 year ago

Yes as long as they don't break the rules, and the community and all posts are marked NSFW

Can people see what I save? I want to start saving comments and posts, but I don't want other people to see whatever I've saved.

[–] ruud 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When I click on 'Saved' under your profile, I see my saved posts. So for now, others can't see. Don't know if that might change but I hope not.

[–] forestall09 3 points 1 year ago

That is interesting behavior, thank you for checking and responding!

When I click 'Saved' on other people's profiles, I see empty results, but probably because of what you said - I haven't saved anything yet so nothing to show. And I would have never guessed that clicking 'Saved' on other people's profiles would show my own saved stuff.

Created an account earlier in the month and was able to login at first but now I’m having trouble. Also I never received a confirmation email so that might be part of the problem. Is there a way to receive that confirmation email or do I have other issues ?

I had the same problem and I believe you fixed it for me too, thanks a lot.

I'd just like to add that I tried "forgot password" from another not-logged-in browser a few times over the last few days and never received any password reset email so I'm still a bit concerned that lemmy.world cannot email me. I checked the spam folder and nothing's there either. My email address is not something major like gmail but I have had no problems with signing up on other places.

It is not high priority as I am able to log in, but perhaps why email doesn't deliver for some people is something you can look into when you have spare time.

Again, thanks for having me here!

I tried to create https://lemmy.world/c/cryptocurrency, but it kept spinning. It looks like someone else started that community, but it says it was deleted, and I can't subscribe or post.

I would like to mod that community. Thanks!

[–] ruud 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I removed it, you can now create a new one

[–] AtHeartEngineer 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Slowy 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A community I created lagged during creation and now I am not a mod, please advise - [email protected]

[–] ruud 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Please create a post there so I can mod you. Post may be removed afterwards.

[–] Slowy 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Errors are invalid title and language not allowed. If you delete the community I can recreate it too, whatever is easier .

I think the languages got set to 0 as well, it’s giving me errors

[–] laurelinae 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The creator and sole mod of a community here, left Lemmy. How can I gain Mod rights and take care of that community without them there to approve me?

[–] ruud 3 points 1 year ago

If a community is abandoned, let us know via DM or mail [email protected]

Hi! So, I understand how the federated system works between all the Lemmy systems, but I'm confused on one thing, and I was hoping someone could answer it.

With the ability to merge many instances of Lemmy, including it's own communities, what do we do about having 15 of the same community?

If Lemmy.world has a community for let's say gaming, and another community also has one for gaming, now we run into a conflict of which one do I use, which one is more populated, etc.

Is that just how it's supposed to be or are there plans to work on some type of system to prevent duplicate communities(which seems hard from a programmer's perspective in this situation)

[–] s38b35M5 1 points 1 year ago

Basically, what you're describing is a feature, not necessarily a bug to be resolved. Some apps may decide to implement ways to compile them all, but by design, instances can/should have duplicate-named communities.

Imagine two instances with very different idealogies that both have a c/general community. One is discussing their next hate crime, while the other is discussing the bake sale at the local HS basketball game. Merging those would be a mistake, right?

I do see where you're coming from with this question though. I did wonder which communities to follow when I first joined, but now I follow a few same-named ones and appreciate the differences between them.

Great, thanks!
