As featured in anime TV series Yuru Camp S3, episode 10

 

About halfway between Tokyo and Nagano.

Here's what it looks like in the daytime:

Here's the plaque explaining it, and the cherry blossoms(?)

Can anyone translate the plaque? Japanese OCR seems to be hopeless...

 

Old post, from before this /c was created.

The Abt rail system, developed in Switzerland in the 1880s, is a narrow gauge track that specializes in climbing inclines by using a 3rd track that is toothed.

The Oigawa Railway's Ikawa Line is the only Abt system in Japan.

An absolutely fun series too

Sooo, who wants to develop the open source hookup app based on the Fediverse?

It's fear of calcification. Lemmy is tiny, in terms of our user base.

If we don't get fresh blood, and most importantly the rare active contributors, we'll just get used to talking to each other, we'll get bored or burned out and leave.

You'd be surprised.

I have a RL friend who's on Reddit all the time, and he didn't even hear about the shutdown, much less /r/place, or anything like lemmy. I've been trying to sell it to him...

Re: The "We're elite" becomes "We're bored talking among the same old people" or "We're burned out", leading to users leaving and formerly thriving communities dying.

I've been around long enough to see this happen on multiple forums.

User count has plateaued at about 420K

Active user count rose significantly between 2/24 37K to 3/24 51K

Hopefully users who signed up last year are coming back to use their accounts.

Maybe because they're tired of ads on reddit?

Should we put together a collection and and buy an ad campaign on Reddit?

I can see it now:

"Ads suck. We're ad-free forever. Join Lemmy."

and

"He'll never get us. Join Lemmy." or "Don't let him get you. Join Lemmy"

When I search for communities about animation on the web interface, I see one called [email protected]

There has been no activity in the /c for 6 months.

It's not my native instance, but I can read posts and comments in the /c, and I can even create a post in the /c.

But when I try to visit http://lemmy.film in a browser, I get a "Web Server Is Down" page.

Is the content in [email protected] a ghost of cached content on my native instance?

Or anything the devs can do to make it not look goofy.

 

A new post with 1 deleted comment shows as "comment symbol 0 (-1 New)"

... which looks goofy.

But not in this /c, maybe there's some kind of /c setting that shows quantities of new comments?

Maybe I made and deleted the comment too soon after I created this post?

It's part of the ol' Big Tech playbook:

If a promising emerging competitor emerges:

  1. Acquire the emerging competitor for cheap when it's still small
  2. Copy the competitor's best features to make them irrelevant
  3. Co-opt them with integration so the competitor's users won't see any advantage to staying with them
  4. Pollute the competitor's content to make your own offering look better
  5. Steal the competitor's best talent

Image rendering attacks and download tracking are well known, so it's not paranoid at all.

 

There have been a number of comment spam attacks in various posts in a couple of /c's that I follow by a user/individual who uses account names like Thulean*

For example: [email protected] in [email protected]

and [email protected] in [email protected]

edit: Also [email protected] in [email protected]

The posts have been removed or deleted by the respective /c's mods, and the offending accounts banned, but you can see the traces of them in those /c's modlogs.

The comments consist of an all-caps string of words with profanities, and Simpsons memes.

An attack on a post may consist of several repeated or similar looking comments.

This looks like a bored teenager prank, but it may also be an organization testing Lemmy's systemic and collective defenses and ability to respond against spam and bot posts.

 

After I've saved a post to a /c hosted by another instance than the one that I'm logged into, I can open that post for editing, but I'm unable to save my edits to that post.

For example: I made a post to [email protected], while logged in elsewhere. Something or other in the webpage link is forcing a download, so I tried to edit the URL in the post, but I can't save it.

This also happened to a post I made to [email protected] where I was trying to edit the text in the post's Body after saving the post.

I can save edits to my posts to /c's on my native instance just fine.

 

Before I begin, I have to say that this post includes links to an instance, ani.social, that has been defederated from this instance, lemmy.ml, because that's where I discovered this problem.

But in this case, I hope the admins understand that this is worth reporting and investigating, and don't insta-delete this post, because this problem appears to happen with more than that one instance, including sopuli.xyz, which is not defederated from here at lemmy.ml

Let us begin:

With Lemmy account setting “Auto Expand Media” turned on, when I’m viewing community https://ani.social/c/[email protected] on my desktop browser, Firefox on Windows, one particular post, https://ani.social/post/1923262 , causes the /c view to ask me to download an .mp4 video from streamable.com:

After declining the download, the space where the thumbnail for the expanded media goes is just blank.

This doesn’t happen when viewing the same /c on .ml https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]

On .ml, I just get a clickable thumbnail of the video.

It’s just that one post.

On other earlier and later posts of links to streamable.com videos in the same /c, I just get the expected clickable thumbnail.

Maybe some kind of corrupted data as that particular post was transferring over?

When I asked about this on ani.social's meta /c, another user reported the auto-download request on ani.social, sopuli.xyz (the /c's home!) but not on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world
