Some of the big things that happened in the past 24h or so:

• r/LegalAdviceUK wants to move their 800k+ community to another platform. Their members might be testing Lemmy.
• Apollo developer posted another lengthy post about Reddit and their leadership.

Also r/ModCoord has started recommending moderators to move their communities to other platforms, like Lemmy.

Someone needs to start a "campaign" for naming and shaming companies who advertises on Reddit. "[This company] supports a company that actively discriminates against the disabled. #SayNoToReddit"

EDIT: Didn’t expect this comment to get this many upvotes. Here’s a song for all you Majora’s Mask fans to enjoy at Time’s End, by the magnificently talented Theophany.

r/Blind is still a valuable resource for many people. No sense denying people access to it. r/Blind mods already created a Lemmy instance which they try to promote for their members. But learning new software can be challenging when you can't see, especially if the software isn't very accessible.

At the bottom of the page, it says something like "BE 0.17.4". BE means BackEnd, in this case that would be Lemmy.

I am sure they are breaking some made up rule the Admins will start enforcing in the next couple of days.

Some communities have bots that copies posts from Reddit. Some do that so there would be more content in Lemmy. Those bots probably don't break any rules set by the Admins of those instances.

Personally I don't like that content is being copied without the permission of those who made the posts in Reddit. Also, in some cases it sort of defies the whole point of the community. For example, one of the Explain Like I'm Five communities has a bot like that. The bot includes a link to the original post. Why would anyone reply to the bot's post, when you can just read the explanation from the original post? That doesn't help make Lemmy more active place when a bot posts things and no human ever replies to them.

r/Blind mods created their own Lemmy instance at https://rblind.com/. They use some beta features and their own modifications to make it more accessible.

There's also pornlemmy.com. You don't need to be logged in to view posts and there's no anime/hentai or aigen stuff.

That list won't show which instances have block the home instance. The blocked list lists only the instances the home instance has blocked, not the other way around.

Modejahan on jo kengitty ja subeja avattu väkipakolla. r/Piracy oli yksi ensimmäisistä subeista, mikä pakotettiin aukeamaan, niin outo ratkaisu kuin se koskaan onkaan, että avataan subi, jossa keskitytään keskustelemaan laittomista tavoista hankkia kopiosuojattua materiaalia.

Jotkut subit on keksinyt hauskoja tapoja, miten ne voi olla auki, noudattaa Redditin (uusia) sääntöjä ja jatkaa samalla protestointia. Mm. r/pics ja r/gifs on nykyään ainoastaan John Oliverin kuville/giffeille tarkoitettuja subeja. Ja r/Steam on höyrystä kiinnostuneille suunnattu subi. Nämä subit noudattavat sääntöjä, koska ne järjestivät äänestyksen, jossa subin kävijät valitsivat uuden suunnan.

Isn't it so that if you play hardcore mode (your character dies permanently), and you disconnect for any reason, your character is considered dead? Online only requirement goes really well for that kind of game mode, where it might be the server that falls offline, and not your PC...

It’s not a feature of Lemmy and, I guess, no-one has wanted to create it for their app. You should submit this idea to the Lemmy developers so it will eventually be a feature in every app.

As far as I know Lemmy stores only text locally and images and such will be linked to the external instance. Text doesn't use much disk space, so that shouldn't be a big a problem. Sometimes when you browse Lemmy, you notice posts that have broken links to images. It's because the other instance is down, but you can still see the text portion of the posts on your home instance.

Make sure that your changes actually “sticks”. There are multiple reports of people trying to delete or edit posts, only for them to come back soon after. It seems that deleting isn’t possible and when mass editing posts, there needs to be long enough delay (5 seconds or so) between each edit.

Totally! There are already few icons for Memmy. Hopefully they’ll include a feature to change the icon.

Let’s just all agree that some prefers Kbin’s interface and others like Lemmy.

That's the one line that jumped at my face as well when I read that interview. At least one other app developer said they'd have to pay about the same amount of money for Reddit. So all the third party apps would probably be something like 60 million+/year with those numbers.

Relay for Reddit is planning to go subscription only. They are currently planning 2-3 USD per month price point, based on their analysis of users using 100 API calls per day on average. But if the subscription fee drives away low-rate users, they will likely need to increase the price. https://www.reddit.com/r/RelayForReddit/comments/147152b/update_how_the_current_api_changes_would_impact/

Might be an oversight by Christian. Maybe he’ll release one more update if people report this bug.

Btw, at least wefwef.app has a feature to import Apollo’s settings.

Well this turned ugly fast.

Huffman, also a Reddit co-founder, said he plans to pursue changes to Reddit’s moderator removal policy to allow ordinary users to vote moderators out more easily if their decisions aren’t popular. He said the new system would be more democratic and allow a wider set of people to hold moderators accountable
