cwagner,

I have a small room (originally a children’s room) where I have my computer. I only have one computer, and use it also for private stuff, though.

cwagner,

I think that eventually, we will reach a level of content creation where people either don't feel the need to cross post, or that you don't need to subscribe to 10 closely-related magazines.

I hope so, but there seem to be a significant amount of people who think that every instance should be their own community. I don’t quite understand what they even want federation for then, but they are very outspoken.

cwagner,

This never changed for those of us who used old reddit ;)

cwagner,

Nah, multi-line is just

> line 1
line 2
line 3

line 1
line 2
line 3

You only need multiple > if you want paragraphs:

> paragraph 1

> paragraph 2

paragraph 1

paragraph 2

cwagner,

You don’t need multiple > unless you want to quote paragraphs, see my comment further down

cwagner,

I think it has a wysiwyg editor or something.

cwagner,

>!Testing!< is the Reddit spoiler syntax, not working yet, though: >!Test!<

cwagner,

And also confirming that the Lemmy spoiler syntax does not work on kbin.

cwagner,

You got your answers already, so I’ll ask:

as are we a subset of lemmyworld?

What gave you that idea?

cwagner,

The question is, what adblockers? It’s very rare that I encounter an adblocker-blocker that doesn’t only work against AdBlock but also against uBo.

cwagner,

Lemmy is irrelevant compared to Reddit. Completely and utterly. There’s what, a single medium-sized subreddit over all instances here?

cwagner,

This is a bit too hard. So many shows I loved: Firefly, Fringe, BSG, Expanse, Killjoys, Dark Matter, Night Sky, Silo (only watched 3 episodes so far but read the books, and it’s everything I wanted), Stargate SG1, Stargate Universe, Person of Interest, Helix (S1, not idea WTF S2 even was about :D)

That’s already skipping stuff I liked, but didn’t love :D

cwagner,

Almost done with the rewatch (first one for the wife) :D

cwagner,

The regex for your community in options.html should be ^([a-zA-Z0-9\-ßàÁâãóôþüúðæåïçèõöÿýòäœêëìíøùîûñé]{1,63}\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,63}$

Not sure if there’s some issue I can’t think of, but it probably can even be simplified to ^([\w-]{1,63}\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,63}$

The current one, for example, doesn’t allow subdomain instances like kbin.example.org I already created a PR for the first version for the lemmy extension, but maybe someone can say why the simpler version would/wouldn’t be okay ;)

cwagner,

Folk Metal is probably my favorite genre. I like it proggy, blackened, or deadened (does one use that?), but also on the quieter side as I like folk rock (and the German medieval metal/rock stuff) as well ;)

Grindcore once in a while, blackened death or plain death with some melody, electro/industrial/noise crossovers are other subgenres.

Sometimes power metal, but that’s rather limited to a few bands.

cwagner,

Oh wow, ancient Korpiklaani :D

I like it better than some newer party-metal stuff, but the production is a bit too lo-fi for my tastes.

cwagner,

Germany: Spiegel.de, one of the biggest online news magazines reported today, heise.de (big pop tech news site) had several articles. But alas, without Reddit and /r/de I don’t actually hear much about media in my country :D

cwagner,

That is not the whole solution. Communities would still be lost. Even if someone then created a new one, only a fraction of the subscribers would join or even know about it.

cwagner,

Since the beta release on the 1st, I’ve been playing the Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader beta. But not finding as much time as I want, I only have 30h so far. I played the Alpha when it was released, but stopped after one playthrough. Haven’t had ship combat yet (recently arrived in footfall), but everything improved over the alpha, and even the alpha was probably better than Pathfinder: Kingmaker or Wrath of the Righteous right on release ;)

For those who don’t know, it’s a turn-based Warhammer 40k CRPG by the same company who did the 2 Pathfinder Games, Owlcat Games.

cwagner,

The current cloudflare protection sadly also disturbs federation. Maybe there should be done header announcement about it.

cwagner,

Awesome, that's the app I use and love. Source: https://old.reddit.com/r/redditsync/comments/145vvjg/reddit_clients_can_support_lemmy_just_by_changing/jnogg6o/

cwagner,

Huh? Why would 2FA providers cost money? I use pretty much the fanciest 2FA (hardware token) on my nextcloud instance, that's just as free as TOTP. The only 2FA I can think of that costs money would be SMS and that should only be used as a last resort.

cwagner,

I’ve been using XMPP/Jabber since around 2005, but that’s only federated, not part of the fediverse ;)

As Mastodon seemed more like modern social media (aka. follow influencers/famous people, not people you know), I never used it. I did once try Secure Scuttlebutt, but besides the super janky experience (in comparison, Lemmy is a polished idiot-proof apple experience), it ended up simply not being interesting to me. So Lemmy/kbin is my first proper fediverse usage.

cwagner,
  • But can every instance can set up their own "Games" community for example? What happens then?

Yes, there are now 2 "games" communities.

  • Doesn't it get rather fragmented?

Yes. There are discussions about doing stuff like multi-reddits, thought there is also a line of thought that only one will win.

  • If people settle in one or two communities out of all, doesn't that sort of defeat the whole point of federation?

No. Or yes. Depends on what you think federation means ;) Lets say, Instance A host "games". It’s the big one everyone subscribes to. Now me, from instance B, subs to games@A, B will now get all the content from that community. It can’t be easily censored, and mods power-tripping can be discovered. And you don’t need to register on A to join the discussion. One could reasonably say, that that’s certainly a point of federation.

Personally I think there are a lot of issues and weaknesses, both conceptually, and UI-wise, that need to get ironed out over the next few weeks, months, and years.
