SparkIT, 11 months ago to meta in With all of the instances having different URL's, what's the best way to "google" a question and get Lemmy instance answers?

Aaand I've searched "best blender" and I found out it's... THE SOFTWARE!

Now that's a fedi answer 😎👍

SparkIT, 11 months ago to kbinMeta in Beehaw is defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, two large lemmy instances

Uh.. that's unfortunate because many will just interpret it as federation being bad and will go back to reddit preaching against fedi.

That being said it could also be a reason for admins to have conversations about how to deal with these migrations and which moderation tools they need.

SparkIT, 11 months ago to fediverse in Are communities from other instances bugged? Am I stupid?

AFAIK it's because of the federated system.

This instance is still new so it fetches content little by little when users interact with external communities and this is also true for votes. There could be federation issue to fix, though and sometimes it takes time to sync.

In general, to see the real number or all the interactions of a post you can open it in the original instance.

On kbin select "copy url to fediverse" in the "more" menu and on lemmy it should be the icon with the fedi logo.

SparkIT, 11 months ago to privacyguides in what imgur alternatives do you use to share images?

It's also a fedi software, so pixelfed accounts show up in the microblog tab here on kbin if they are federated.

Meta - I'm too old to get this meme without wondering about the reading order Every. Single. Time. xD

Oh, I didn't know about the bot. So I guess that's Piped (https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped) which is a frontend like invidious (https://github.com/iv-org/invidious) and usually when it doesn't work switching instance should do the job.

Newpipe is a different project: https://newpipe.net/

On desktop you can also use FreeTube: https://freetubeapp.io/

There's also https://kbin.social/m/kbinDesign

SparkIT, 11 months ago to Help in Please help with the basics of subscribing to remote communities. (Many ways to do it wrong, included)

You have to search with an @ instead of the !

Here you go: https://kbin.social/m/pennsylvania@lemmy.world

For the time being, the "owner" of new remote communities is always @ernest because he is the instance admin.

SparkIT, 11 months ago to kbinMeta in kbin, where do I only see posts from my subscriptions?

On the top right of the page, near your nickname, there's a menu where you can select Subscribed.

SparkIT, 11 months ago to startrek in So ... how are we going to interact with our reddit siblings?

TIL Reddit users have bios /s

SparkIT, 11 months ago to kbinMeta in muting instances/communities, community description to top of page

also, is it possible to move the community/magazine description to the top of the page rather than the bottom, as infinite scrolling makes it a bit tedious to unsubscribe or subscribe to communities

Not sure if it works for everybody but on mobile a tap on the top left kbin logo opens the sidebar so you don't have to scroll all the way down.

SparkIT, 11 months ago to RedditMigration in Am I missing something?

When you get the result you should see a "subscribe" button under the avatar/handle

SparkIT, 11 months ago to fediverse in Are communities from other instances bugged? Am I stupid?

I'm no dev or admin but my understanding is that being fully synchronized is not that simple, both because it could be too demanding for small instances and because it's a topic that involves privacy for many that prefer to be less connected but when your instance is pretty active I think the amount of connections should be pretty decent anyway and if it's not you can visit other "federations" and import new stuff.

SparkIT, 11 months ago (edited 11 months ago) to informatica in In una svolta scioccante degli eventi, gli abbonamenti Netflix aumentano dopo la repressione sulla condivisione delle password

Dal titolo sembra un po' che abbiano aumentato nuovamente il prezzo ma l'articolo dice nonostante avessero messo le mani avanti su un possibile aumento delle cancellazioni in realtà hanno avuto un sacco di nuove registrazioni.

Immagino che un sacco di persone abbia delle serie da finire xD

SparkIT, 11 months ago to random in Idea/Draft: A common set of instructions for new users that could be pinned across instances.

A me non sembra molto diverso da quello che si faceva quando si doveva decidere tra decine di forum tematici (non federati) prima dei social... ora la differenza è che c'è anche la possibilità di interagire ma alla fine penso che chi apre un forum abbia sempre la tendenza ad "arredarlo" come vuole senza farsi troppi problemi, tanto poi gli utenti rispondono anche senza sapere dove sono.

Poi magari verrà migliorata la ricerca con dei filtri più specifici, vedremo come andrà.
