Arguably, the fix should be to “it” since anon is a utility account, not a user.

This a great answer in a sea of slightly odd food choices. It’s healthy for kids to do this, apparently.

I think part of the problem is that even when you’re subscribed to the small communities, it’s easy to miss the posts. Sorting by Scaled helps a little, but I still often find a post from days ago that I missed.

I’d like an option where you could “super subscribe” or something which makes those posts show up first, or even in the inbox.

No, it’ll be fine 99% of the time.

Nowadays, feature detection is done within browsers, and the differences between browsers are small enough that servers generally will serve the same version of a page to all.

Ah, ok, that makes more sense. That also solves any ordering problem if you, say, you’re running local and elsewhere commands and a sync means pressing up gives you an unexpected item.

Sync seems like it’s going to be more pain than its worth unless you have all your machines configured the same. I’m not even running the same distros between machines…

I’ve just installed this from your recommendation and it’s brilliant. I love the amateur graphics, it just adds to the charm.

I’m not sure what you’re asking. Do you mean Lemmy communities, Lemmy instances, or something else?

If you’re on Windows, you can use Win + .

If you’re on Linux, try ctrl + shift + e

I’m surprised you say you don’t know what the 😭 face means, since it’s just exaggerated crying. Is it because they’re too small, or that you suspect there’s some implied agreement/subtext you’re not party to?

I can see why people wouldn’t know what something like 🍆 is used to represent, since it’s not for the intended (I assume…) use.

That’s interesting. The flaw with that logic seems to that there’ll always be new users, and they’ll be playing on hard mode since those vital clues have been removed.

Online it’s even more annoying (to me, anyway), because we have the time element specifically for this kind of thing and no-one bothers to use it.

After a glance at others’ answers, it’s the same thing: the trend away from skeuomorphism.

I always think about the time I discovered an Android area was horizontally scrollable - with no scrollbars to clue me in, it was only the fact that the icon I wanted wasn’t there that prompted me to discover the secret. I’m a software dev, if it’s unintuitive even to me, how do non-technical people stand a chance?

It allows selecting multiple languages, but it’s not clear and setting multiple is fiddly - most sites use multiple checkboxes instead for this reason. Anyway, if you select Undetermined, English and whatever else you’re happy to see, you’ll see a lot more comments (and posts, probably).

Edit: to select multiple, hold control while clicking/spacebarring to add another.

It should have two language settings - those you might post in (for the dropdown on making a comment/post) and for those you’re happy to read (I’d just set it to all, since I can always translate anything that looks interesting).

No, it’s just that @warboyziri@kbin.social didn’t give the full link. It’s happy and healthy at https://letterboxd.com

You can add a title and description to images, folders, albums (what we’ve been calling folders), sub-albums, etc. You can search on those, but it’s not a structured thing like tags. I guess you could just store some JSON in there but you might need to get smart with your queries to search. Afraid I have no idea if there’s plugins, or even if what I’ve been using is a recent and/or unmodified codebase.

I think it’s more designed for photo uploads, as there’s an option to keep exif data, and it automatically makes images of different sizes (including your original, maybe massive upload).

What features are you looking for? As others have said, if you just want somewhere you can store images yourself, you don’t even need software aside from a webserver and something to upload with.

But there’s also things like user accounts, tagging, browsing/discovery, plus whatever else gfycay does/did.

Anyway, just to actually give you a suggestion, chevereto is used by a friend and it’s a lovely user experience (can’t tell you about the admin side, though). [edit: This uses folders to organise - no tagging - so it might not meet your needs, which is why I was asking]

You can interact here from other ActivityPub-supporting codebases so you could just run one of the minimal microblogging sites. You wouldn’t get the same experience as being a Lemmy instance though.

As noted, this is an old article. You can install the plugin here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/firefox-translations/

I just tried it on https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/technologie and it’s definitely good enough to be usable, although it has translated the top story as “What the new data glasses from Apple can”. Google Translate’s version is almost the same for most of it, although it gets “can do” right.

It initially recognised that it could translate feddit.de but seems to have stopped now. Hmm.

Anyway, even though German->English is a pretty easy test given that English is a Germanic language, I’m happy to leave it installed and test it in the wild.

Bitwarden is open source (server, plugin and app) and can be self-hosted so it’s not centralised in any way that matters.

Also, I think an honest freemium offering is the best way to do it - have those that are willing/able to pay subsidise those who aren’t. It doesn’t have to be a slippery slope, and that’s not exactly common in the open-source world. After all, you can just fork it and go your own way if you’re not happy. Also, running servers isn’t free, and being able to remunerate the devs a little is no small thing.

So, in summary, use Bitwarden. You can set up your own server and install the plugin/app yourself if you want.
