Bonus video illustrating the 15 second gap between a lemmy instance sending out a Follow (to subscribe to something) and receiving the Accept back that'll move the status from 'Pending' to 'Joined'

Lots of non-real-world factors here: the lemmy instance is running on an VM, it's connecting via a tunnel to a home DSL connection, and lemmon.website isn't running lemmy, but it hopefully demonstrates how subscribing is 2 distinct actions, and how it can get stuck on 'Pending'

I didn't bother with picts-rs, but I found compiling lemmy to be fairly straight-forward (following the instructions on join-lemmy. Rust is difficult for me though, and lemmy's code seems like a labyrinth. So I've no idea what lemmy's up to most of the time (spinning its wheels randomizing the Hot sort, would be my guess).

I was about to say that communities for the innards of lemmy maybe already exist on programming.dev or at [email protected], and then I looked at that community, and the first post I saw was promoting [email protected], spookily enough.

Shift ends in 10 minutes? Whatever it is, it's been the next shift's problem for 50 minutes already.

Yeah. That sort-of works in Boost. Have to click it, but it plays in a new screen after it's had a little think.

Just viewed this Community in Boost. It handles actual GIF, WEBP, and MP4 (aka GIFV) okay. But lemmy in it's infinite wisdom has converted this into a webm file, which it doesn't look like Boost knows what to do with.

Let's try an inline link:

Well I hope it's self-driving. Apple's VR goggles just came out, so it might be related to that.

This was cross-posted from a lemmy community ([email protected]) that’s sort-of bridging lemmy and mastodon. If you’re on lemmy.world, they’ll already be a post you can visit, to upvote and respond to the original author of the comic, if you wish. If you’re not on an instance that’s brought [email protected] in yet, it can be done so in the usual way, of course.

(I tried this on a different instance - lemmy being lemmy means you might have to refresh a couple of times after clicking the ! link, but that’s nothing unusual)

This post is now Featured in the Star Wars Memes community (?!) to help promote this month's theme of 4 Frame February [4FF].

Yeah. Fixed now. This 0.19.x upgrade business is a ballache.

One from each:

1. Rey's dialogue-free introduction.
2. Luke's "Jakuu pretty much is nowhere" line.
3. Adam Driver's evocation of a Harrison Ford-esque smile at the end.

Instead people just make this shit up and go after stuff that was never shown and never occurred. Never seen any other fandom do this.

It also happens with The Last of Us Part II, which points to a probable cause: the same factually wrong criticisms get repeated not from individual engagement with the original media, but rather with professional shit-stirrers on YouTube. Someone rides the algorithm to dunk on something popular, and their terrible takes are recycled forever.
