I am not entirely convinced you’re not a bot. But you get a pass thanks to your top notch content.

Weird that a city in Italy has a test for this, but cool.

You are the growth lol

At least one of your posts is always on the front page whenever I check, and more are always shortly after

You're like that one power user on old school forums that you would see everywhere and everyone else would know and respect them lmao

Has everyone been too nice? Cause I can help with that if you want.

My initial account was on lemmy.world, but since making this one on startrek.website, it has far surpassed it. I still hop between them to post whenever one or the other is acting sluggish.

Mad respect, I've shared so many of your memes to outerverse folks and realised most of them come from you.

5

That's awesome to hear! I can only claim to have made a small % of the ones I post to lemmy, but I've always thought it would be cool to stumble upon one of mine circulating elsewhere one day.

I don't hate him either, but I suspect a lot of the memes come from reddit. Not that I care. The memes are dope

12

Yeah, I make OC for lemmy occasionally, but the majority of memes are saved from other sites.

I see it as a doing a little bit of dumpster diving so that lemmy doesn't have to.

It's appreciated. There's no way with how prolific you are that you could sustain it if it was all OC.

Oh god, it would be practically full time. I'm still really slow at making memes, but I'm starting to learn the tricks.

9

It really doesn't feel like too much. I just drop a few memes whenever I find a free minute or two. Usually during the day, but sometimes I go hours or even a busy day without thinking about it.

It means that I'm using lemmy as much as I used to check reddit though, but I'm having fun actually contributing instead of lurking this time around.

They post so fast, they appear to be in two places at the same time.

startrek.website

You do? Hmm, that's strange... I'm uploading everything through Lemmy directly and haven't been hosting off site.

When I switch to my .world account, it doesn't appear that way to me either. Could anyone more technical take a stab at what might be happening?

The problem is something to do with startrek.website, but it only affects the default UI (Lemmy-UI). I've seen it on a large number of images uploaded on startrek.website but viewed on another instance. It doesn't seem to affect files uploaded to external websites though

I think it's something about HTTP cross-origin headers that they've configured incorrectly. I'll have to confirm later when I'm on a desktop browser.

Edit: It's actually uBlock Origin blocking the images from loading! There's a rule in EasyList that is matching *.website (it's a lot more complicated of a rule, but that's the gist). It blocks it unless it's coming from one of a few whitelisted pages like lemmy.world.

I found a workaround mentioned here: https://lemm.ee/comment/3068996

That's more complex than I understand so I'll take your word lol

All I know is instances have what look to be old links to media that gets fixed whenever you clear cache

2

Oh interesting... Yeah, I mostly post from Liftoff or Voyager on my phone, so I wouldn't have noticed.

I wonder if the startrek.website admins are aware of the inconsistency.

5

I think I mentioned it to one of them, but I don't know if they know the extent or if they're just working on it

I assumed it was something to do with lemm.ee's policy with federating images to protect against CP attacks, since everyone else who says they're having trouble is also from lemm.ee. I think what they're doing is just linking to the other instances' images directly, and maybe startrek.website doesn't like that?

I can see your lemmy.world account's posts just fine.

3

That might be it. On top of not federating images, I know that Lemm.ee has file size restrictions for its users too (to reduce load and keep things fast, I think), so maybe there's something related to that as well.

You can fix it by clearing your cache or by using a different client like voyager or photon

4

Yeah startrek.website doesn't technically allow hotlinking, which lemm.ee is doing.

The thing is, apps just ignore that hotlink forbiddance, while browsers respect it. And other instances federate images.

Being able to see Lemmy karma scores feels... wrong. But yes, the Picard Maneuver is a treasure

They is how it begins. They give you lots of free stuff and once you're hooked, they start to enshittify everything and ask you for more money or ad revenue. "The picard manoeuvre" may seem like an internet hero now, but beware! (JK of course, you're the mvp)
