Flippin’ eck. Seeing a familiar Lemmy post on there, clicking it and seeing the whole thing render instantly was a bit of a shock after getting used to Lemmy’s more pedestrian loading of stuff.

In much the same way that I can’t see “Do you wish to process [Y/N]” without thinking of “You bet your ass I wish to proceed” from Die Hard, I can’t see “PC Load Letter” without thinking “PC Load Letter? What the fuck does that mean?” (even though I sort-of know what it means)

Thanks. This seems a likely answer - running 1,2 or 3 containers would explain the differences across instances. I hope it can be resolved though.

From this page. I imagine it’s up to lemmy where this actually gets sent (in the sense that if a community has 1 moderator, it goes to 1 inbox, but if it has 2 moderators, it goes to 2 inboxes).

I think that’s just a fun title. I searched for London, UK when it was set for 750 million years ago and it said something about the land not being there for it yet. As advised, I changed to a more ‘recent’ year and it came up.

Can confirm. Just looked at Boost and there they all are. Pretty neat. (Boost is the only app I’ve seen that notifies you of comments too)

It’s not a one-click solution, but lemmy admins can check other instance’s registration policy. e.g.
curl https://lemmy.world/api/v3/site | jq -r .site_view.local_site.registration_mode

Other Fediverse apps will reveal it in different ways of course. Nothing to stop an instance that was set up just for spam from lying about it of course.

Manual approval isn’t the only alternative to Open Registration - the main one involves requiring an email address, and/or solving a captcha

freamon, 3 months ago

In Lemmy terms they’re at ‘RequireApplication’. Open is completely open. PixelFed have automated something that lemmy.world did for feddit.nl a while ago - defederate from them until they changed their application policy.

It seems a very optimistic viewpoint that, actually, Lemmy would have more content, it’s just that all the people who would be making it are, like, really busy with other stuff right now.

It’s a bit of a ball-ache.

They’d have to sign up to the forums and then use a BitTorrent-like app called Resilio.

There was a TV show called Moonhaven where men were a bit more like this. It was cancelled after 1 season, of course.

They can, yes. The lemmy instance that a particular user is on handles that. This community is mostly about getting the posts and comments into lemmy in the first place.

freamon, 3 months ago

Mmmm. It’s the instance that people are on on that’s doing (or not doing) much of the work there. If you comment on a post, the instance will send 1 copy to me (who’s responsible for federating it out to other Lemmy instances) and 1 copy to Mastodon for the post’s author.

If you reply to a Lemmy comment, it doesn’t send it to Mastodon because it’s not for the author (in much the same way that you don’t get replies to replies in your inbox if you’re the OP of a Lemmy post). For local posts, both Mastodon and Lemmy show the local comment tree, but neither can show every Fediverse interaction because they never hear about them.

Likewise, if you reply to a Mastodon comment, your instance will send it to the comment author, but not the post author, so won’t appear anywhere under their post.

As for Mastodon comments on Lemmy … it depends. I follow some accounts, so when I post them to Lemmy, top-level comments come through automatically (again, though, I never hear about replies to replies). Other content is just stuff I’ve seen and grabbed. I often post the existing replies, but not if they’ve turned Authorized Fetch on, and I don’t typically go back and check for more later.

freamon, 3 months ago

It’s me deciding. Recommendations for interesting people on Mastodon to follow are welcome (either in this post, or the sticky ‘About this community’ post).

Thank you.

I think there’s more to it though, in that simple values aren’t moved, they’re always copied (with any & in front indicating whether it’s the value to copy or the address)

To illustrate:

<span style="color:#323232;">fn how_many(a: u32, fruit: String) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    println!("there are {} {}", a, fruit);
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">fn main() {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    let a=4;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    let fruit = String::from("Apples");
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    how_many(a, fruit);
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    println!("the amount was {}", a);         // this works
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    println!("the fruit was {}", fruit);      // this fails
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span>

The ‘a’ was copied, and the ‘fruit’ was moved.
