I feel like it’s been so active because app developers almost all default to lemmy.world. It’s a bit concerning honestly, I wish things were a bit more spread out because everyone is at the mercy of Lemmy world and as we’ve seen several times it doesn’t look like the admins of the instance are making decisions based on community feedback.
I feel like the admins of hexbear are fairly conscious of their user base and have made sure to take all the necessary steps to properly federate with world. What’s concerning to me is that world preemptively defederated without hexbear showing any signs of hostility or malicious intent. Remember how long it took world to defed from exploding-heads? A literal nazi hub?
It all seems like de federation based on political ideology which, I mean, is in worlds own rights to do, but the fact that they’re the largest instance making preemptive decisions based on nothing isn’t boding very well.
Leave blocking communities and instances to users. If you don’t want to see “extremists” in your All page, block the community. Block the users in the comments.
Defederation should happen based on the instance community’s collective decision (no vote was done for defederation) and when an instance is actively working against the rules of a federated instance. Hexbear has not shown itself to be breaking the rules or to be planning to, and the arguments used by the world admins were all opinions and not based in reality. The admins of hexbear specifically made a post telling their users to respect federated instances rules.
Yes, the users are opinionated - but that in and of itself isn’t worth defederating with.
Mind you I’m not about to start asking to defederate from world, but I’m still kinda worried that this type of preemptive defederation is going to be the norm for world.
Sadly I don’t think it’s possible on the Lemmy-ui/server level, but some mobile apps allow you to (maybe just one, note sure. Either Memmy or Voyager since I use them interchangeably). I also look forward to the ability to block instances fully on desktop.
My feed has been flooded with posts about the Sync app released for Android, with a lot of hype but also some complaints regarding pricing, ads, privacy, etc....
Are you sure it’s the app and not websites you visit through Lemmy or your instance tracking you? I’m not seeing any tracking on my end when just browsing.
This was explained by the dev at some point when the app went to the store. I believe this is related to push notifications. There is a post about it/comment by the developer but Lemmy.world is giving me server errors when I try to find it.
Not sure where the appcenter tracker is coming from though.
Currently reading Elantris by Brandon Sanderson. Picked it up a long time ago and never finished it. Had some time out at a cabin and picked it back up. Pretty good so far.
For the longest time I was wondering what this icon is about. It seems kind of redundant because posts that I read before are already greyed out. Does the icon serve another purpose because I feel like it clutters the interface. Could we get rid of it?
I was reading a post in another sub when I received and answer to a question I asked on lemmy support. When I replied it not only posted my response to my original post but it posted the same reply as a response in the other sun I was reading.
There’s plenty of posts on the topic about Lemmy.world being compromised, followed by the exploit being tracked back to an XSS exploit that I believe works on instances with custom emojis enabled. Many instances have been quick to jump on this such as feddit.uk and Behaw which took itself down temporarily....
sh.itjust.works doesn’t have custom emojis and so is fairly safe from this specific exploit. Only local users of instances with custom emojis were at risk if they had visited a malicious page on their home instance.
Lemmy-ui pushed a fix for this vulnerability just 8 minutes ago, so we’ll see if that makes it here.
I'm level 76 on my main and rngesus has not seen fit to bless me with a tempest roar, crone, or vasily's, so I've been using the same pulverslide build since around lv40....
For some time I used the storm piñata build using the mid game section for aspects. It was really fun to live the storm Druid fantasy. My only qualm is how squishy you are.
For me-- Lemmy is getting dangerously close to pulling me away from Reddit, and I love it, but still, there’s a ways to go in terms of ‘critical features,’ yeah?...
Yeah, like I said the Lemmy setting is ridiculously generous with what it considers read and how it hides things. Best way to circumvent this is just to use an app that’s has the option to hide read posts in-app and doesn’t use the Lemmy settings. I think Voyager (formerly wefwef) does it, maybe Memmy? Not sure about the Android applications. Connect probably
I have very important news (sh.itjust.works)
In light of lemmy.world's pre-emptive defederation of hexbear, would anyone support defederating lemmy.world?

Little bit of a concern I came across just now

Lemmy just had its first major hack. What happens next:

What are the features you MOST miss from Reddit? (Bonus pts for tech dudes-- any idea if they're on the dev- hoz?)
