• Require you to type the instance before you can start typing your credentials.
  • This complicates things and adds an extra step. This also wouldn't completely solve the problem.

First thought in a similar vein to this, have a pause for credential & instance review before passing them along?

E.g. Type everything in as-is, but instead of log in promptly sending anything, it displays all the information you just entered again with some simple message like, "Does everything here look correct?" and Yes/No or something of the sort.

It complicates things and adds a step as well, however I think it would do a better job of encouraging people to double-check for any typos than what you mention in what I've quoted above. Bonus of this idea is that it also keeps external ties to a minimum.

Friendly heads up, Beehaw is defederated from Lemmy World, so this won't reach them.

You might post this over to these communities though:

As noted, seeing as they're neither consistently active nor terribly large (Adulting is the largest of the two with any posts), building them on other instances now would probably be just as well. They're decent enough topics to try to build communities around imo.

Every time they're thrown, even just into storage, another emerges from the Forge of Being.

This may be related to the version your instance is on and Thunder adjusting to accommodate different vote display options that your instance version allows for. You might look through Thunder's settings regarding display and see if there's an option to restore the display of vote counts.

Hope this helps!

I'm not sure if it's offered as a part-time job, but you might look into localization jobs. Sometimes (often?) they may be the same exact job, but in the situations that they're not it may help to find jobs you might otherwise miss.

The problem with AI translations with some languages is that their results can be far too literal and miss much needed nuance to deliver the desired message, so: localization. Like you said, translation, especially good translation, is an art, and a major part of that is in localizing the translations for different audiences.

Delayed response, but there's a few that I'm aware of that may roughly fit this interest.

Same idea but different instance:

Lastly there's [email protected], but this is more for seeking product recommendations rather than providing reviews of products. However currently there's nothing in their rules prohibiting product review posts, so you could always DM the mod to see if they're open to them.

Edited & crossed out first couple communities as I reviewed the original thread and saw they weren't what you were after. I also see that you've made a community tailored to what you were looking for via [email protected], which is apt. Best of luck with it!

Thanks! This tool seems really useful. It's interesting how patchy service availability seems to be even in urban areas. 😕

Ride those celestial surfboards through the 'verse!

Ah yeah, ya see, flip that switch and you bathe the computer with some extremely excited electrons

IT people don't want ya to know it, but computers love electron baths. Takes them to a whole new level of performance!

First comment. Not from Flagstaff but hopefully this helps others there or thereabouts find their way here!

This is buried toward the bottom of the release notes so I'm bringing it up here:

Added instance-level default sort type

Any admins out there considering changing their instance sort settings or asking people on their instance if they'd like this changed, given that we can individually set sorting anyway? Taking into account the inclination of people to never adjust default settings (I remain deeply curious about this tendency, as an aside), I think it might be worth at least bringing up to one's instance community.

If they decide they want it to remain the same, all good, and even better, it raises some people's awareness that they can change it themselves.
