Wistful, to tchncs in Some suspicious activity these last 2 days...

I hope so too. Thanks for looking out.

Wistful, to lemmytips in FYI: Post and comment character limit on Lemmy is 10000
@Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

There should be a limit, of course, but 10k is a bit too little IMO.

I would rather see one bigger wall of text, then multiple smaller walls of text that continue in the comments because it didn't fit in the post...

For a reference, the other site had 40k for the post and 10k for the comment.

Yes, the same exact thing applies to comments. I just tested it now.

Oversight, or they just implemented it and didn't have time to further improve that feature, who knows.

Do you have "Show Read Posts" unchecked in your profile settings?

Wistful, (edited ) to lemmytips in How to find communities and fetch them to your instance.
@Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Are the communities that you are trying to access fetched by your instance?
Check this post (near the bottom) on how to fetch the remote communities to your instance.

Edit: oops, we already are on this post, my bad. Maybe Awesome Lemmy List is not correct or not updated. On feddit.de sidebar it says "Dies ist keine NSFW-Instanz!" (according to google translate: This is not an NSFW instance!) maybe NSFW is truly disabled then.
This is when I checked, maybe it got updated in the meantime… https://i.imgur.com/YVVXUmn.png

It doesn't seem to be possible with Jerboa currently. You have to use the web browser for now.
There is a post on Jerboa community talking about this issue.

Wistful, to apexlegends in [Patch Notes] Strike with style in the Dressed to Kill Collection Event coming June 20th!
@Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

In pubs or even ranked, not really, but he was pretty dominant in competitive matches. I don't follow pros much, I watch a short video here and there when it pops up, but in majority of those, seer was in the mix, especially while he could still use his ult through a Cat wall. They nerfed that and now they nerfed him. Community has been complaining about "wallhack" abilities for a while, and they've been slowly but surely nerfing such abilities, I guess it was Seer's turn.

These changes are mix of nerfs and buffs, it will probably change his whole play-style. His ult seems like it's going to be almost useless now, and his Q receiving such long silence ability...makes me wonder what will they do about Revenants abilities for his revamp, because now it seems like Seer has a better version of Revenant's tactical.

Wistful, to lemmytips in Defederation explained (beehaw.org and lemmy.world case)
@Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Explanation with examples:

All the credit goes to the original writer.
Link to original comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/205763

I came up with a list of examples to explain this, but I can't see to add them to the post. I'm having a really hard time posting today. So here they are in a comment. I think this helps show exactly what's going on.

Examples

If this still doesn't make sense, then try the following examples. I hope being able to see defederation in action makes this a little more clear.

Beehaw Communities

We're going to use gaming@beehaw.org as an example of what happens to beehaw communities

Here are three links:

The first link is the beehaw gaming community as hosted on beehaw. All of these are sorted by new, because it makes it very obvious when defederation went into effect. You can see that there are several new posts.

The second link is the beehaw gaming community as hosted on lemmy.world. You can see that all the posts before defederation (5 hours ago at time of writing) are the same as the beehaw one. But now, none of new posts are visible. We no longer get updates from the "true" version on beehaw. There are some new posts there, but all are posted by lemmy.world users. And the posts from lemmy.world users are not visible on beehaw.

The final link is to the beehaw gaming community as hosted on lemmy.ml. This is identical to the beehaw.org community, as the "true" version is on beehaw.org, the one that gets updated on other communities is the "true" version.

Lemmy.world communities

We'll use the lemmyworld base community as an example:

The first post is the version of this community as hosted on beehaw.org. You can see from 5 hours ago, there are no more posts. That's because they no longer receive the "true" version of this community. Someone on there could still post, but then it would only be visible to other people on beehaw.org.

The second shows it as hosted on lemmy.world. We can see all the posts. The last link shows it as hosted on lemmy.ml, and we can see it's the same as the lemmy.world version. The "true" version is on lemmy.world, so lemmy.ml keeps up with the updated version.

Third instance communities

Finally, we have the example of communities that are on instances that have not been defederated by beehaw.org.

We can see all three of these versions look pretty similar. That's because for the most part they are. We are identical with lemmy.ml, as lemmy.ml hosts the "true" version, and we get all updates from the "true" version. Beehaw.org will not get posts/comments from us, so beehaw actually doesn't have the most "true" version of this community.

Comment example

I found this one really entertaining:

This is the same post hosted on three different instances. Since the community is on lemmy.ml, the "true" version of this post is the lemmy.ml one.

It was posted by a beehaw.org user AFTER defederation, but it's still visible to lemmy.world users, since the community it was posted to is lemmy.ml, not beehaw.org. We can comment on it, and those comments are sent to the "true" version on lemmy.ml (and then shared to the wider fediverse). However, comments from lemmy.world are NOT sent to the version of this post on beehaw.org.

When I found this example, there were only two comments on this post, both from lemmy.world users. So the poster did not get an initial response because of defederation.

Wistful, to selfhosted in [SOLVED] Why is my Lemmy instance not finding other instances' communities?

Wistful, to youshouldknow in YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content
@Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Is it possible to do other way around? Comment on kbin from lemmy?

Same thing for !vivaldi_browser. I even subscribed to it but it is not showing under Communities > Subscribed. And I can't see a single post.

Yep, weird. And I got notification for your comment instantly...It almost seems random.
