Confirmed: they’re all just saying ‘Good Night’ to each other like the end of a “The Waltons” episode. It’s very wholesome.
Minor edit to move ‘Sex Meme Pit’ up a few places - it’s swapped back again from a NSFW to SFW community, and the list was only showing its growth as a SFW one. I’m guessing that the Mod is going for ‘SFW community with the more egregious posts NSFW’d out’ approach.
I bought a cheap ‘mp3 player’ from eBay when I was trying to use my phone less, but it was rubbish: no library function (just the files, listed in the order they were copied), m4a support was limited to low-complexity), Bluetooth dropped if I moved my head.
I was surprised, because there’s definitely system-on-a-chip + open-source software combinations that would make a good, cheap player. The kind of places that make them though, will always prefer to use even-cheaper components than what the final retail price would suggest.
So, because everyone uses their phone for music listening now, it’s hard to get a dumb player. They’re either rubbish, like I bought, or they’re completely at the other end of the scale (as in more expensive than a phone)
I think this is the issue - if the community itself isn’t tagged, blocking NSFW on your account doesn’t filter the posts (although they should be blurry if the posts themselves are tagged).
Fortunately, most of the untagged communities (inc. celebs) are modded by a user called Madness, so blocking him cleared up my feed.
From a brief look at their public API, it only seems to users to GET stuff, and not POST stuff yet, so that would limit the possibility of apps.
Right now there are people who sign up with an instance like lemmy.world, who then create loads of communities, because they don’t fully understand the nature of things and can’t quite believe that the URLs for lots of different IPs are available. For Reddit, if you snagged the likes of r/starwars early on, that gave you some power. For Lemmy, it’s meaningless: if you just want to moderate 100 communities, and not spend time actually building a Community up, then you’ll just be overtaken by the Community at one of the many other instances.
It’s probably whatever my phone charger uses (USB C probably), but that’s mostly because I’m associating the little buzz my phone does when it starts charging with the connection. So yeah, purely fetishistic.
Oh right. I thought they meant this kind
God, no. That thing with the submersible shows we can’t even explore our own ocean without exploding.
It’s not just the same people, (re)posting whatever seems popular at the moment?
There was a point (only a few days ago really) when browsing All was a way of discovering new communities, but now, if it’s not memes it’s auto-generated bot content harvesting link from HN or wherever.
Everyone became convinced that ‘old memes’ were the new thing (possibly in response to the popularity of Antique Memes Roadshow) and they swamped out everything else on All
Clicking that link on mobile opens up my email app! I think it needs a ! before it to work.
Alternatively: embedded link to Trending Communities
Block by user: the bot at lemmit online is the main offender.
Just start one (a community, that is). There’s not some marauding band of trolls out there, waiting to give you a hard time. If it’s niche enough, it’ll be a highlight just to see someone-who-isn’t-you post something!
PRAW is the Python wrapper for Reddit’s API, and searching github for “lemmy api python” revealed some results, so you’d use one API to download a post, and the other to upload it.
There’s existing bots that do this though, and they all seem to just fill feeds with indiscriminate, un-replied to, spam
Follow the link from the LinkFixerBot so it’ll load that community whilst keeping you logged in on your instance, and you’ll see a big “Subscribe” button.
I replied to Blaze in another thread, essentially saying that !trendingcommunities@endlesstalk.org is currently a backup / potential replacement for this community (depending how things go with feddit.nl)
