  • You have been blessed by the three food fairies: you can now...

  • Can we get a ruling on whether Beer counts as a food item?

    otherwise I'll go with:

    • Shellfish, because I'm allergic
    • Something seasonal like strawberries, that changes price based on how far you need to import it
    • AVOCADOS, so that I never again cut one open to find it's rock hard, or already turned to black goop

  • "Moderators should moderate their communities for quality" is a valid solution to the problem you outlined, and a valid line of discussion even if you disagree.

    I consider instance level and user level image tools as secondary to good community moderation, for things that the mods miss, and I only follow communities that seem well run.

  • Depends on the sub, the cooking subs are image based, but tend to have titles like:

    "Homemade jumbo crumpet with baked strawberries topped with mascarpone" https://media.piefed.social/posts/R9/I8/R9I8hg1C1D7qWrO.jpeg

    which is enough for me to decide whether to click (I clicked this one). It ruins subs that already have poor accessibility, due to non-descriptive titles and missing alt text. Which is fine.

  • There's a good chance of upsetting everybody here :)

    Do you go with, the instance setting, the community setting, the user instance preference, the Blorp default or the user app setting.

  • I have actually implemented this on my personal instance, I don't know exactly how this will look on lemmy, but you can see what I've done here:

    What do you think of it? A post of the type that JohnnyEnzyme describes would look like a text post, with an image url in the list of links at the top.

    I have also replaced inline images in comments with a link plus the alt text.

  • If you browse the fediverse with inline images disabled, you will be unaffected by the addition of an image to a post.

  • It's a personal project, and a single user instance, so I can view the data however I want, here's what the front page looks like with all inline images changed to links.

    I also ignore upvotes and downvotes on my instance as I don't think they're a good measure of quality.

    The instance owner can change what is shown by default in the web UI for their users, but I think a lot of people use apps like Blorp, which will not be affected by this.

  • The defaults can make a difference. I implemented this feature on my personal instance, and now that image posts are hidden by default, I no longer interact with them consciously or subconsciously. The most engaging looking things on my front page are high effort posts that promote discussion like the OP. A LOT of people don't change defaults, so it might change what gets engagement if Lemmy does it.

    I also implemented this for comments, so if you drop a pepe.jpg as a response, you'll have to use some words to get me to click on it.

  • MeetEU is holding a talk about a "European Public Social Network" 15 minutes from now Finished. Would the Fediverse be relevant?

    Jump

  • We might be better off if they don't take an interest in us, or if they deem us "not social media".

  • Hi and thanks, the third one might be an issue for my personal use, I've followed some ActivityPub Groups for Mastodon that give me some kind of hashtag feed not associated with a community (FediGroups maybe), but I guess Blorp users simply won't do this so it'll be fine. I'll look into this again soon 👍

  • It's the forgejo link to my fediverse project, forgejo is something like github if you're familiar with github, a place for software developers to view and collaborate on software projects.

    The project is only useful to developers in it's current state. You would need to download the project files, compile it into a binary, and possibly run it on a server to use the web UI. I currently don't have any instructions for this, but I'll make a longer post in the fediverse or selfhosted channel when I do.

    Also, I'm targeting Sync for Lemmy instead of Blorp for the API.

    Here is the initial announcement of the project and feature roadmap:

    This link is a post on my personal instance and shows the current UI.

  • I have found the perfect forgejo instance for my project, I need to make the project a bit easier to run for new users, then I'll make a post about it here

  • Systemd’s New Feature Brings Age Verification Option to Linux

    Jump

  • I think we should start calling this age attestation rather than verification, or does the confusion help us here by making the linux ecosystem seem like it's more compliant than it is?

  • Did anybody else watch "Now and Again"? It was a surgically enhanced spy drama from 1999

    Jump

  • First 3 episode arc was really good, definitely worth watching. Blends drama, comedy, spy stuff, 90s stereotypes and tech, hot cougary milves, musical numbers (!!), and a hint of wincest.

    I looked up why it got cancelled and apparently it was just too high budget for a show with slightly niche appeal. Seems like it was replaced by CSI, which was huge at the time tbf

  • Ep 3, set in NY, opens with a lovely shot of the twin towers, oof right in the feels

  • 😂 the main character played by Eric Close spends the most of the second episode shirtless for reasons that don't really make sense in terms of plot, OUTRAGEOUS levels of fanservice so far

    Jump

  • The first episode really was bonkers, I remember the rest being more of a mildly superpowered Burn Notice, so if you enjoyed that then you'll enjoy this.

    I'd like to see more recommendations of niche older stuff on here tbh
