Haha ye +1. I've seen other people's posts with mismatched community, body and comments, but when my PWA gets stuck and opens something else than I tapped, it's always some sports thing.

I'm guessing bots are constantly filling some communities with match information posts, and so there's simply a higher chance to stumble upon one of those than anything else.

There is one frontend, Tumbex. If the blog url is xyz.tumblr.com, change to tumbex.com/xyz.tumblr

I find it extremely ironic that all the closed source apps, some with subscription options, are closing or moving to support open platforms, while the prime FOSS app is staying with Reddit and going subscription only.

True, I just worry that the dev will get screwed by Reddit. If I were a dev or doing some business, I wouldn't touch Reddit with a very long stick. It's like poking a huge dung, you can only get a swarm of flies.

That's what I meant? Infinity is FOSS and signing subscription with the devil.

Even more reason not to deal with a dickish corporation and be on the knife edge of possibly being tens of thousands in the red, if you're fresh out of school.

The other weird part is, I'm sure a lot of Lemmy users would be more than happy to donate much more to a good cause than an average Google Store app user who can ask for refund at any time and then leave 1 star.

Wait what

From the title I was wondering if we're doing Wagner memes now

Even ex-imperials need a chance of redemption. Or they can blow up with the Death Star I guess.

Aww I jumped up for a new Lindsay video :(

I'm also finding myself out of the loop. Civil war? A coup? What?

Sounds like fun

Someone who is a member of another instance needs to search for the url of your community. Only then it becomes visible.

Best you can do is to announce it in !newcommunities and hope people from other instances will notice.

Or make accounts everywhere and use them to search for it...

You might want to use spoiler tags. (Even tho they don't work right. For future reference.)

Moving profile to another instance would be great.

But for now, I really wish that instances would be absolutely clear of their purpose, political leaning, restrictions etc. Some are - like Lemmygrad, Mander.xyz or Lemmynsfw, you'll get the gist of what they're for very quickly.

But other might catch people off guard, like Lemmy.ml or Beehaw when they make some changes that are entirely logical to them, but not super clear to users.

It's especially awkward since these two used to be the biggest instances.

And then there are the small instances that come with their own set of problems.

Can't blame people for congregating on a handful largest, neutral instances then. Even if that's not to the liking of some people.

Well, you can't.

Although you can make a new account on e.g. lemmy.world, create a community and then assign your lemmy.ml acct as mod and use that.

WhoRoger, 11 months ago

It doesn't, you need to be a member of the instance to make communities.

Well, people have revived dead OG Xbox and PS3 multilayer titles, and play them. Lemmy should be the perfect place for those kinds of shenanigans.

Apparently Discord is getting shittified too, so best bring everyone over here...
