This was a 2.25 MB mp4 file, but you can't upload that to lemmy of course - but you can cut shitloads out and convert to a 4 MB gif - which it'll accept and turn into a webm file, so Christ knows how it'll play on various clients.

Anyway, the vid is nicked from here

Hello,

We've been sporadically doing Wednesday themes, but it never gave anyone much time to create / repost something, and before I knew it, it would be Wednesday again.

So the idea is to have a theme for the month, which you can adhere to or not. But if you do, and the title has [4FF] in it somewhere, the previous themed post (which is currently this one) will be un-stickied, and your post will be the new one that is "Featured in the Community" as a reminder of the theme.

I'll do it manually for a bit, until I have enough data to enable the automod to do it.

Thanks.

I followed some popular communities from a Mastodon server ages ago, and then unsubscribed when I was satisfied that it was working.

However, lemmy seems to have some problem with the way Mastodon sends an 'Undo/Follow', so it's still been sending traffic ever since. Recreating it on a lemmy server I booted, journalctl shows this error:

I reconfigured the JSON that Mastodon sends to be more like a Lemmy one, signed the http request with a new set of keys, and sent it via a command-line script. Technically, this works, in that I can use the script to subscribe and unsubscribe from lemmy communities. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with the private key for the old Mastodon user and lemmy.ml (which rejects the http requests). I don't know why, but it has stalled my attempts to unsubscribe from my side.

As you're likely aware, lemmy.ml has bouts of sending out an absolute firehose of info at times, and it's a waste of your resources sending them to me (who's resorted to 403ing everything, so they don't overwhelm the ActivityPub server I'm building).

So, if possible, can someone have look what a user from lemmon.website is still subscribed to (memes and asklemmy, certainly) and unsubscribe them please?

I can provide some credentials on lemmon.website if you require.

Thanks.

Hello,

For this Wednesday's theme, please delve into the murky depths of Star War's Expanded Universe: the books, comics and video games etc whose stories have been cast aside in favour of whatever it is we have now.

Be quick though, before you know it, Dave Filoni will have plundered the same sources, and the thing you may have dismissed as ridiculous will have it's own 6-part series on D+.

Thanks.
