[Feature Request] Disable thumbnails on mobile data

When I used Reddit is Fun, it really hogged up data unless thumbnails we’re disabled. I’ve noticed that Connect is also using quite a lot of data, but there is no similar setting that I can find (there’s an option to disable preloading images, but I’m not seeing what that changes)....

Federation issues popping up again? (phiresky.github.io)

I noticed a distinct lack of response to comments and looking at the threads from other instances shows that my comments aren’t appearing outside of lemm.ee, and going to the link I shared shows there are 0 up-to-date instances with lemm.ee....

What's a band that has one album that is just about perfect in your opinion, but rest of their discography misses the mark with you?

One of mine is Commit This to Memory by Motion City Soundtrack. I basically took the title verbatim and know the album word for word. And while I would love if it did, the rest of MCS’s stuff just doesn’t hit the same way....

Is it more respectful to use more current photos of people who have died? Or is it better to use photos from their "prime"?

Just had this thought and I’m caught between the two. Assuming anything being considered were all “good” photos, what would you prefer if it were you?...

Late-to-the-party appreciation post for Ted Lasso (spoiler warning goes here)

I absolutely adored the first 2 seasons as they came out and wasn’t confident in how the third season would follow up. And tbh, the first half was somewhat underwhelming. The Zava stuff seemed pointless and it kinda felt like it was running on auto-pilot. But man, starting with the Amsterdam episode it was just banger after...

VW Beetle owners - how does it feel knowing you've almost certainly instigated people hitting each other?

For the unaware - Slug Bug

People should just post YT links instead of whatever obscure frontend they decide is better

For one, even if I wanted to use it, piped never works for me....

Two Drums and a Cymbal [Tom Scott] (www.youtube.com)

Rediscovered this vid digging around my old youtube playlists. I barely knew who Tom was back then, and with his recent announcement, I thought it was kind of neat to come back to. Hopefully others find it as funny/neat as I do!

Lemmy, is there a treasured piece of content that you stop yourself from going back to "too often" so as to not dilute it?

I do this for a few things, movies in particular. For me most recently, I’m planning on watching Bo Burnham’s Inside this weekend, for the first time since I watched it shortly post-release. I wasn’t really intending to wait checks watch nearly 3 years on that one, but I definitely felt it needed some space before a...

Outgoing federation broken?

I just noticed that all of my comments for the last few days don’t show up in the parent instance of the post. It is happening in several different instances, so it seems like it’s probably an issue on the lemm.ee side of things....

Anyway to turn off or control the comment highlighting in 0.19?

The instance I’m on just did the update and this comment highlighting is really throwing me off. It’s super glaring and unpleasant imo and I’d really appreciate the ability to turn it off. I’ve looked around a bit but haven’t found anything myself. Am I missing something?

How to block embedded images and videos

Considering the latest rash of spam images plaguing the platform, I decided to figure out how to block embeds entirely since I never really liked them in the first place and am sharing what I got working since I figured it might be something others would like to enable themselves. (Fyi, this method requires uBlock Origin)...

Shout out to Wilds of Eldraine (files.catbox.moe)

I drafted the heck out of it and I noticed today that I am 1-of “complete” with WOE, which is the first set I’ve done that with on Arena. While LCI looks to be good in it’s own right, WOE just hit all the right notes and I miss it already, so cheers to an awesome draft format! It was great while it lasted.
