More so ‘other Fediverse socials’.

Here’s an example on PieFed, that’s a PixelFed user tagging their photos with ‘dailyphoto’ and then sharing via a.gup.pe on Mastodon: https://piefed.social/tag/dailyphoto

For Season 1. (Season 2 has different credits.)

How well they backfill and inter-op is very platform-dependent, obvs (your platform and the remote platform)

Fasting (for Ramadan)

Not sure about “slow poisoning”

You shouldn’t read too much into being banned from 50 communities - it’s just a fudgy workaround for being banned from the instance.

If you want to read up on people’s objections, there’s load of comments at https://lemmy.world/post/18805474 and the GitHub Issue it links to at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4967

I’m not personally in favour of ideas about voting privacy (I think it’s a bit anti-Fediverse and hampers backfilling), but those who disagree tend to feel more strongly about it than I do, so I try to avoid arguments about it.

If you’re not seeing anything at https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] it’ll be due to a setting on your account (view the link when logged out to confirm). There’s loads there when I visited it.

diode.zone seems kaput. Andy Balaam (who used to use it) has moved to https://video.infosec.exchange/

It’s certainly visually impressive.

It might be serving a dual purpose though - it’s a more dynamic experience for the viewer, than just a list of the upcoming shows, but it’s also a technique that allows them to repeatedly lean on the mega-hits (Stranger Things & Squid Game), while yadda-yadda’ing the rest of the content (consisting largely of stuff purchased from broadcasters, mid films, and a graveyard of cancelled TV shows).

Yeah, but the ones you’ll have access to are pretty dead:

The most active is on hexbear, which I think your instance is defed’d from

If you don’t want to resurrect an existing community, you can create new ones by accessing Lemmy with a browser (not an app), and clicking ‘Create Community’ at the top of the screen.

Season 3 of a TV show comes with a significant wage increase for everyone involved, so 3 seasons (at least) is something that the sellers of a show always want, but the buyers are trying to avoid.

On Netflix, it’s become a pattern of all shows only getting 1 or 2 seasons, unless they’re mega-hits, or dirt-cheap to produce in the first place.

How well a show wraps up after 2 seasons often depends on how much the writers want to do the streamer’s job for them. Tokyo Vice was a (rare) example of a good, self-contained, 2-season show.

I cry quite easily, so a small sample of films that have made my eyes misty are:

The Remarkable Life of Ibelin
Bridge to Terabithia
A Monster Calls

There’s a reply in that post from the mod. They locked it because it wasn’t an open-ended question. I imagine that the rule is in place to prevent this community from being filled by DAE-type posts.

Yeah. ActivityPub has a type called ‘Announce’ that’s used to make your followers aware of activity by another account. Mastodon uses it only for ‘boosting’ another user’s content, but Lemmy’s communities use it for everything (‘Andrew has posted this comment’, 'Andrew has Liked this post’s, etc). Most of Lemmy’s activities are ignored by Mastodon, but the Announce of a post or a comment is interpreted as a Boost.

It sort of works as a way to follow a community on Mastodon, but the individual boosting of all comments makes it annoying. I doubt anyone has set up a different account - you should be able to see the details of which actor is doing by clicking on it or hovering your mouse over it.

Anyway, speaking of jokes, have you heard how many MBIN users it takes to screw in a lightbulb?
Answer: 10. 1 to screw in the bulb, and 9 to tell you how great the software is. (I’m just kidding - there aren’t 10 MBIN users, it just seems like there are because it evidently comes with a massive crowbar used to derail every thread to bollock on about it).

Heretic (the one with Hugh Grant in it). I’m not sure any of it stands up to much scrutiny after watching, but it’s an enjoyable watch when it’s happening.
I’m halfway through Black Doves. It’s recognisably a Joe Barton affair (the last thing I saw of his was The Lazarus Project, and BD has the same character archetypes, and the same strangely old cars).
The latest episode of Silo. Continues to be slow-paced, and stupid at times. Like the book, it feels like Young Adult stuff masquerading as something mainstream, but I’ve said that in the past, and been strongly disagreed with.

If an admin bans a local user, they’re banned once, but if they ban a remote user, the way Lemmy currently handles it is to ban them from every community they’ve subscribed to. There’s an Issue about it because it’s a hacky and incomplete solution. As such, the ‘banned 20 times’ thing isn’t something that people should read too much into.

The 4K Blu-ray remux of Andor Season 1 is 230 GB. This new government might be shutting down the internet, but I doubt that they’re monsters, and so surely wouldn’t expect me to re-watch it in any lower quality. Fortunately, I’ve worked out that the Aldanhi arc and the last 2 episodes are 102 GB, so it should be manageable if some recaps are cut.

A fair bit of Mastodon content doesn’t fit well on Lemmy. One mundane technical reason is that their posts don’t always split up well into the post title / post body that Lemmy expects. A cultural reason is that Mastodon users have a much higher tolerance for other users promoting things like their patreon than Lemmy users do. Even if the posts split well, and is content that Lemmy would like, bringing in the replies to it opens up a spam vector.

Lemmy let’s you impersonate other users. I used to do that with https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected], but stopped because the above-mentioned reasons made it tricky to automate (and because I got bored with it)

Nothing really, just a bit of maintenance at their hosting provider: https://lemm.ee/post/48190514

(I got a 503 earlier too)
