For anyone wondering if Threads and Facebook at large will be a fine neighbor in the space and compatible with other apps/services in the fediverse: they’re already automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112126250737482807

Curious about the stability of using Photoshop with Wine or a VM. Photoshop and Marvelous Designer are the only apps I use that aren’t on linux. I wonder if using Wine for Photoshop would be simplified if people try a version like m0nkrus that doesn’t require the creative cloud.

Curious to know of this would cause federation issues or anything. The instances would be using different domain names but on the same VPS

Im likely closing my instance soon due to costs and im sad my comments will disappear and remove and context and replies to them breaking many threads. Is it possible to preserve the comments someway or maybe migrating the comments to a another instance?

I think the apps and the web ui should increase the size of the users avatars and make the username a bit bigger so it’s easier for people to start recognizing eachother and grow a sense of community. Back in the forum days people would remember eachother’s usernames/avatars for their contributions and it would be easier to grow a sense of community making things less hostile and easier to create community events

It would be great to be able to vote for every candidate in an election instead of only once and you can decide to upvote, downvote, or not vote for any candidate. This way you never “throw away” your vote and extreme/hated candidates can be downvoted so if im not a fan of any candidate but one is particularly awful I can downvote that one and not vote any I don’t like while still making my voice heard that I definitely don’t want this specific candidate

Edit: Combined Approval Voting is what I want and its used by to elect the Wikipedia Arbitration Committee and the Secretary General of the United Nations

Edit 2: You can learn about and try different voting methods in this amazing project https://ncase.me/ballot/

This progress bar is on the bottom of https://join-lemmy.org Does it automatically update when people donate to either the Liberapay, Patreon, or Open Collective? Is this progress bar open source so lemmy servers can implement it to show their donation\costs amounts?

edit: The extension bow allows you to see Lemmy comments on any website on the web! As long as there is a Lemmy thread with the same URL as the website one you’re on when you click the extension a popup will appear displaying Lemmy threads and comments which you can vote and reply to!

A couple weeks ago I reached out to the dev that makes the Reddit Comments for Youtube extension and asked him to enable support for Lemmy. The developer was already rewriting the extension and decided to implement Lemmy support as well! Here's the GitHub and FireFox links. It also available for Chrome iirc.

The comments appear after you select an instance in the extension's menu on any youtube video that has been posted to any Lemmy instance with a full url without a timecode. Invidious links and Lemmy comments on invidious instances still aren't supported but since its supported by the Reddit comments it should be possible if someone submits a PR.

Edit: The extension now lets you see lemmy comments on any website!

Youtube comments are historically terrible so this Reddit comment for YouTube is a great extension to never have to read YouTube comments. I no longer use Reddit though and would love to have a similar extension using Lemmy comments that also work on piped/invidious and maybe be compatible with any website/link

Do you think this could be crowdsourced as a collaboration by the Lemmy community to make this an AGPL extension? If so how do we get started? (Idk how to code)

(The extension in the picture is an extension that adds Reddit Comments under a youtube video https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reddit-comments-for-youtube/ )

I know its not possible on Lemmy itself yet but it would be great to be able to subscribe to threads. Sometimes theres a thread im interested in keeping up with any new comments (like how we did on forums). So it would be great to be able to subscribe to a thread and get notifications on any new comments.

All the apps make it very difficult to create a post. You have to know what community you will be posting to, search for the community, click the three dots, click create post, click whether it’s a photo/link/text and then start posting.

Why not just have a Create Post button with the title field, url field, body text field, and a button to upload a photo and then a choose community button

I just discovered it today and I'm considering setting it up to use instead of LocalSend. Have any of you used TailDrop before? I don't use TailScale so I'm not really sure I want to set it up just for sending files from my phone to my PC but the share menu options does seem convenient and it would be cool to be able to send any photos etc to my pc when I'm not home and have them their when I arrive sorta like I used pushbullet in the past.

I remember seeing this app a couple months ago and being excited about a team finally doing this. They've been available in New York City for a while and now they're trying to raise money to expand to more places. Hopefully they open source the app\server in the future since it would be great to have more co-op apps for the other "gig economy" style apps.

It would be much more convenient to have a thread have all the comments that are on crossposts and threads with the same link. They could have a little indicator mentioning the title of the thread it's posted on with a link to the thread. This would also help people come across new communties.

It could look something like this

clicking on the link to the thread could open it within the app allowing you to then easily browse the community in case you want to subscribe to it

Using Archive.org doesn't work on medium posts and ideally I want to archive every post. The blog I'm trying to archive is https://itsairborne.com in case the posts go down. Googling how to backup medium posts only gives me articles on how to do it if it were my blog. I found this extension called Monolith of Web that allows you to backup a website using the Rust tool Monolith and I just went to each article and clicked the extension and saved them all one by one

I’ve tried asking on the Mediawiki Support Desk but haven’t gotten any help.

EDIT: It looks like the issue with images comes from using Short URLs. After uploading the image through the Upload File section I get a 404 error but if I add /index.php?title= to the url I can visit the uploaded files. Not sure how to fix this though

So basically my issue is mediawiki thinks the links to my files are /File:filename.png but they're actually at index.php?title=File:filename.png
