You'll see the most on the original community's instance, but even that won't show everything due to how activity Pub works and some platforms allowing "anonymous follow" and the like. #privacy
Trying to move my #Goodreads data to #Bookwyrm, apparently it will take no more than a month to export from Goodreads…. This is exceptional engineering.
@weston May usually means "it won't take nearly this long, but probably longer than you think, and we dont' want tyou to contact us to bother us about it"
Most Fediverse software supports image uploads, so there's no reason to use Imgur for image hosting. Hell, even on my small single-user server (atomicpoet.org), image hosting is easy peasy. Not only is Imgur not needed, they're an annoyance for those of us who are used to seeing images natively on the Fediverse....
on a related note, hosting images on your server for users on other servers, eats up a lot of resources too. I know some instances have stopped allowing saving of images.
Anne McCaffrey's worldbuilding is incredible, and the background hints about the world that slowly build over the course of the series are wonderfully well done.
@petrichor I've been using Librarything.com to keep trackign of my reading for years, but what I was really hoping was that I could find a better solution for my "to read" than a random spreadsheet. Of course the list will always be growing more quickly than my "read and reviewed" list. My local library used to have a "book queue" built into their catolog which I kept it at, then I exported it just before they shut that down, I tried to import to Bookwyrm and got a bunch of mush and never took more than a few minutes to try to massage teh data to fit....
Found this post super informative as it relates to Mastodon, and thought Lemmy might also benefit from this perspective. I’m not sure I share his optimism, but his points seem sound to dampen some of the alarm bells over Meta joining the Fediverse.
actually it came from when the USSR sent tanks to Hungary to keep down a workets revolution against the Soviet backed regime in the mid-twentieth century. Origanally it was used as a description for divisions in the British communist party between those who felt a global [Soviet backed] communist plan, versus those who supported independent worker collectives democratically deciding their own direction.
Now-a-days it is used to describe anyone who supports leftists authoritarian regimes, whether it be China, or people who act like Russia is secretly Communists, etc. Or just an insult from one leftist against anothet leftist. Like one U.S. southerner insulting another by calling him a liberal.
how can one enjoy working close source? You are welcome to keep your devlopment private, rather than putting it on an open source development protal like GitHub, and just release it under the GPL so the rest of us can learn from your work, without you having to put up with annoying "developers" on the internet.
welcome to the Midwestern United States. both of those are common, and like they said, 0 means it's too cold to play outside and 100 means it's too hot to play outside, other than that you're good to go.
@ernest well now if you were to change it, you'd need to come up with something else that starts with m or links get confusing. I see no problem with it at all, I was just interested in the reasoning. I think it's fun, and we need more of that on the internet, and particularly the 'verse, these days. Eugune changing TOOTS to POSTS to sound more professional was a sad sad change. I was glad to learn some folks like @valere chose to exercise their rights under the AGPL and continue to call it TOOTS on their instance.
