Thank you. This really should be a user profile option. Here's hoping.

That's what this does:

[Some text here]([email protected])

Tap the 'more' skinny hamburger menu just ~~above~~ below this message to 'view source' of the below:

blah blah blah links to [email protected]

Actually..better, here is one for an instance that is neither yours or the one you posted into:

I keep hitting the menu icon instead of the workspace icon when trying to switch to a different workspace.

Yeah yeah...get out your world's smallest violin. I am aware. 😜

From 3 other lemmy.ml federated lemmings I cannot fully subscribe to lemmy.ml communities. They all just stay in 'Subscription Pending'. It was pointed out that I would still get updates from these communities, and I decided to roll with it. BUT the thing is… you can't cross-post using the lemmy built in if not fully subscribed.

How long until this might be alleviated? Has lemmy.ml considered asking some communities to move to a less loaded lemmy? Seemingly every floss project seems to have homed here, and the subscription pending thing is getting problematic.

Thanks for all the hard work. I just want to know if it's known/being addressed.

Subscriptions are actually completing now. Takes a minute and manual intervention. But they are going to 'Joined'.

Too true…

Do any of you know of an instance that would be good for creating more hyper specific Literature/books communities? Not the big two lemmy.ml or lemmy.world or any that would get defederated here. Basically not any of the instances that are getting crushed ATM or are too unmoderated.

By specific, I mean fan communities for a specific author, series, genre etc.

I made the mistake of not investigating exactly how long The Wandering Inn is.

So...that is what and will be reading...seemingly forever. :-S

 

I love "Use native window" along with Ctrl-F11 for a windowed fullscreen experience. (this is especially nice in tiling windowed environments)

What's your secret lesser promoted feature of Vivaldi?

I'm having trouble finding communities in lemmy.ml here (is one of the unblocked instances). I can find them from another lemmy instance, just not here. How often are the communities updated? I'm hoping to make beehaw my 'home' instance.

In response to your postscript: You can search here for other communities: https://browse.feddit.de and there may be other search, please let me know if you find them. That one is a bit slow to update. I used that to determine that there was no community yet for a topic. So I tried to get a feel for which lemmy might be best for it and created it there. The one I created was Trader Joe's Unofficial You can see I even added a note in the description about it being my first and trying to add a better/more mod.

TL;DR See if your community interest already exists anywhere, and if not, go create it!

Wait...the comment seems to indicate that the primary mod did not want to go dark, and an inactive mod came in and made it go dark. I understand being upset...but this does not seem like anything a Reddit admin would do?

Love them! And yes for consistency. Great work.

So far so good. This is actually my first comment.

I had a hard time wrapping my head around how the federation worked. But figured out I just search here in communities only with my keywords. If I don't get a result here and https://browse.feddit.de then it means no community has yet been created anywhere.

I decided to make Beehaw my 'home' server after discovering it actually had an 'interview' that I jived with and a moderated/structured set of communities. As my first deeper 'test' of lemmy I have created my first community at lemmy.world since it seemed like the place for my random community about a grocery store chain: [email protected]

If I was making a specific tech/software related community I likely would have chosen lemmy.ml as that's where many other tech/software related projects have landed so far. But lemmy.world seemed the better choice for random.

Does this seem relatively close to be how I should handle things in the lemmyverse?

Edit: It would be nice if there was a user setting to open external links in new tabs.
