loopy

Just when I think I have somewhat of an understanding of the fediverse, there becomes more questions. So, I am the moderator for [email protected] and I see many “boosted” posts. Does that occur any time there is a comment on that post from Lemmy, or has someone made another account on Mastadon that is using the same photos from the dadjokes Lemmy community?

I know back in the old country (blueit er redhat or whatever it was) there was a rule for waiting a year or some time before reposts were allowed again. Should there be something like that here?

On an unrelated note, I got my friend the other day with a zinger. They were recovering from surgery and said they were moving up their diet and the nurse was getting them a liquid menu. I said, “LIQUID MENU? HOW ARE YOU GONNA HOLD IT?” …I think I could hear eyes rolled over the phone.

Has anyone else tried finding a lemmy.world community on lemmyverse.net? I don’t see any results for known communities that exist. I’m not sure if that is intentional or overlooked or what. The last I checked, that search was still being used to find communities that maybe haven’t been connected yet to a user’s home instance.

I tried a lemmy.world account and lemm.ee account, each with the username and then the email. The accounts work fine on the Voyager web app, just not the native iOS app.

I mod a community that frequently posts HD images. I tried posting an image natively through the Memmy app and then through a mobile browser, both of which gave me a “File size too large.” I was able to post a hosting link just fine, but the resolution was smaller when downloaded again through the browser or Memmy app.

Is there a Lemmy, Lemmy.World, or Memmy file size limitation? I’d like to know what the cutoff is, so I can post that in the community’s description.

of when I handed my dad his 60th birthday card.

He told me, “You know one would have been enough.”

Does anyone know of a Fediverse alternative for Snapchat?

I know of Friendica, but it looks more like a Facebook. Not a Fediverse option, but so far Signal’s stories look to be the closest option I can find. Any input is appreciated.

I know customization comes after functionality on the priority list, but I would love a few color options in the Appearance settings to replace the blue. Purple, orange, and turquoise would be at the top of my list.

I prefer a dark background anyway, so the background would be less of a worry, but a graphite grey and beige would be nice eventually too.

Thanks to everyone that is working on this.
