Ohhhhh, that was an interesting nugget of information that I didn't previously understand. Thank you for sharing that.
So, the only way to keep a bad actor registered in your instance from flaming in another one would be to revoke their account completely, then?
Other servers probably need to be able to block individual users from posting anywhere on their instance if we don't want to end up as mostly disfederated, isolated servers.
I will say...the John Oliver options are highly awarded! π
Me too! I'm just so happy to have found a home away from the old place.
Having a little patience with developers who are suddenly dealing with a much larger user base than they had just a few weeks ago seems like the natural thing to do.
I'm actually really impressed by how smoothly the lemmy.world node and Jerboa app are both working! I've experienced very few technical issues.
I like the icon, too. It's so cheerful!
This is a known bug that developers are working on, if I understand correctly from reading other posts. Thet seem to be saying that if your subscription has shown up on your profile, you're good to go, and can ignore the "pending" status.
π subscribed to the kitty beans! (Sorry dogs, lol.)
Thank you. π
Yeah, I found this solution, too, and implemented it!
And then a handful of subs perma-banned me for spamming my pro-fediverse replacement message that I edited into my comments. Still worth it, I'm leaving anyway, right? BUT a whole, whole bunch of comments were left unaffected by PowerDeleteSuite's script, so here I am, editing scores (hundreds? thousands?) of messages by hand so I don't piss off/make more work for more mods by using a script again. π€£ Also, I didn't really think about how it would look in some of the supportive communities when my compassionate replies turned into a fediverse advertisement. Oops.
Will you try to bring those communities over to lemmy?
I agree that most of the time, changing narrators mid-series is jarring.
There was one book I listened to (a long one) where the narrators changed for each of the ~~4~~ 5 major sections, and it really worked. That was a Roberto BolaΓ±o book titled 2666. Epic, and very dark.
Yes. Yes, I have!
It's been a while, and I wish I could remember the title of the specific book I had this issue with so strongly that I moved to reading the e-book instead, but ... it escapes me right now, haha.
I have also used the speed function to slow down narrators before. I know most people probably adjust the speed up, to get through something faster, but when I'm listening for pleasure, I want to be able to revel in the author's writing, and don't want to be forced to rush through it. I very actively create a visual world in my head while reading and/or listening, and need time for those images to build!
I think the bot is used to make a post from lemmy that gets sent to reddit, where it will appear inside a sub set to "private," where the mods will be the only ones who can see it. It's a way to invite reddit mods to bring their content to lemmy, if I understand correctly.
Something that pulls content from reddit using code would be a different thing. This bot is used to pull the actual people over!
OMG I just flashed back to that "add account" bit on the sidebar....π€―
I hadn't processed that it meant I could run more than one account from the same app. How cool!
