Dunno if you’re fussed about this sort of stuff, but this meme was already posted very recently: https://crazypeople.online/post/14691687 (sidenote: lemmy’s default UI doesn’t do inline displays of avif files, it seems)
freamon@lemmy.worldtoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•Problems with seeing post from a specific community.
0·2 years agoOkay. Well, if it’s fixed, that’s all that matters, I guess. I don’t understand this desire to downgrade other people’s answers into speculation, but it’s not like this is the first time it’s happened.
Language selection with Lemmy is pretty unintuitive, so others may be interested to know that OP is technically incorrect here. Despite what the UI says, it’s actually impossible to deselect ‘undetermined’. Whatever frontend you’re using might let you, but the backend will just ignore it. I don’t use this account much, but I used it here to make a very deliberate decision to send my earlier response using ‘undetermined’ as the language, so that OP would definitely see it, and the fact that they clearly did demonstrates for itself that what they’re suggesting is nonsense.
freamon@lemmy.worldtoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•Problems with seeing post from a specific community.
0·2 years agoUsing a web browser, go to your account settings. In ‘languages’ ensure that ‘English’ is selected. The posts will then be visible to you when you are logged in.
You’ve made this post in the ‘afaraf’ language, so you may as well deselect that while you’re there if you don’t understand it. This of course means that most people here won’t see this post, ironically enough.
Also, if folks could stop parroting out the same bullshit ‘federation delays’ answer to every question, that’d be great. It’s not that. It’s actually very rarely that (even if you were the very first person to discover that community, which you weren’t, it’d only take a refresh to resolve it).
freamon@lemmy.worldtoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•Creating Community page problem (not submitting)
0·2 years agoThe problem is not feddit.org. You can still create communities there. The problem is that the ‘name’ field is too long - it’s needs to be 20 characters max. I answered this from another account, but now I’m thinking you can’t see it because you haven’t selected ‘English’ as a language you understand. If that’s the case, then it means problems with Lemmy are stopping people solving other problems with Lemmy, and the whole thing is doomed.
I screenshotted this from their ‘trending’ page, which suggests that their content is garbage and their tech is fucked.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Shouldn't all ActivityPub servers implement all objects and leave it to the client?English
2·2 years agoHmmm. Speaking of Fediverse interoperability, platforms other than yours (Pandacap) typically arrange things so that
https://pandacap.azurewebsites.netwas the domain, and something likehttps://pandacap.azurewebsites.net/users/lizard-sockswas the user, but Pandacap wants to usehttps://pandacap.azurewebsites.netfor both. Combined with the fact that it doesn’t seem to support /.well-known/nodeinfo means that no other platform knows what software it’s running.When your actor sends something out, it uses the id
https://pandacap.azurewebsites.net/, but when something tries to look that up, it returns a “Person” with a subtly different id ofhttps://pandacap.azurewebsites.net(no trailing slash). So there’s the potential to create the following:https://pandacap.azurewebsites.net/sends something out.- Instance hasn’t heard of that, so looks it up, and creates a new user in its database, with the returned ID (
https://pandacap.azurewebsites.net) https://pandacap.azurewebsites.net/sends else something out. Instance looks in it’s DB, finds nothing, so looks it up and tries to create it again. The best case is that it meets a DB uniqueness constraint, because the ID it gets back from that lookup does actually exist (so it can use that, but it was a long way around to find it). The worst case - when there’s no DB uniqueness constraint -is that a ‘new’ user is created every time.- Repeat step 3 for every new thing you send.
If every new platform treats the Fediverse as a wheel that needs to be re-invented, then the whole project is doomed.

0·2 years agoIt’s the crawler at lemmyverse that’s down - https://data.lemmyverse.net/ shows that it hasn’t updated in 11 days
Tragically, this also means that, even after 31 years, I’ve still never ‘get good’ enough.

Lemmy@lemmy.ml•Why aren't my posts showing up on my profile page? Is this a bug?English
0·2 years agoYeah, I know what you mean. That note is misleading, and kinda redundant too - you can physically de-select Undetermined in the UI, but the change won’t actually take if you press ‘Save’.

Lemmy@lemmy.ml•Why aren't my posts showing up on my profile page? Is this a bug?English
0·2 years agoMost likely reason is that you unticked ‘English’ as a language you understand when you were playing around.
Well, there’s good news and bad news.
The good news is that Lemmy is now surrounding your spoilers with the expected Details and Summary tags, and moving the HR means PieFed is able to interpret the Markdown for both spoilers.
The bad news:
It turns out KBIN doesn’t understand Details/Summary tags (even though a browser on it own does, so that’s KBIN’s problem).
Neither PieFed, or KBIN, or MS Edge looking at raw HTML can properly deal with a list that starts at ‘0’.
Lemmy is no longer putting List tags around anything inside the spoilers. (so this post now looks worse on KBIN. Sorry about that KBIN users)
Firstly, sorry for any potential derailment. This is a comment about the Markdown used in your post (I wouldn’t normally mention it, but consider it fair game since this is a ‘Fediverse’ community).
The spec for lemmy’s spoiler format is colon-colon-colon-space-spoiler. If you miss out the space, then whilst other Lemmy instances can reconstitute the Markdown to see this post as intended, Lemmy itself doesn’t generate the correct HTML when sending it out over ActivityPub. This means that other Fediverse apps that just look at the HTML (e.g. Mastodon, KBIN) can’t render it properly.
Screenshot from kbin:

Also, if you add a horizontal rule without a blank line above it, Markdown generally interprets this as meaning that you want the text above it to be a heading. So anything that doesn’t have the full force of Lemmy’s Markdown processor that is currently trying to re-make the HTML from Markdown now has to deal with the ending triple colons having ‘h2’ tags around it.

3·3 years agoI’ve been coerced into reporting it as bug in Lemmy itself - perhaps you could add your own observations here so I seem like less of a crank. Thanks.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Quick video demonstrating that lemmy.world sends every activity out twiceEnglish
7·3 years agoYeah, that’s the conclusion I came away with from the lemmy.ca and endlesstalk.org chats. That’s it due to multiple docker containers. In the LW Matrix room though, an admin said he saw one container send the same activity out 3 times. Also, LW were presumably running multiple containers with 0.18.5, when it didn’t happen, so it maybe that multiple containers is only part of the problem.





The API provides it, which means that many of the clients will also have a way of displaying them.
Your instance provides an alternative UI via the ‘Photon’ client at https://p.feddit.org/ - you can use this on desktop to view your profile and select the ‘Upvoted’ view.
The command-line equivalent would be
curl --header 'authorization: Bearer LOGIN_TOKEN' 'https://feddit.org/api/v3/post/list?liked_only=true&page=1&limit=50' | jq .posts[].post.id | xargs -I {} echo "https://feddit.org/post/%7B%7D"but it’s nowhere near as convenient as getting a client to do it for you.
The other site mentioned - https://lemvotes.org/ - doesn’t use the API and is a bit controversial: it tends to be used to see who else voted for a post, and isn’t guaranteed to be a reliable way to show what posts you personally voted for.
