aponigricon@beehaw.orgto Lemmy.World Announcements•I love how the Fediverse/ActivityPub prevents region blocking from being effectiveEnglish11·2 years agoNo, it wouldn’t. The Beehaw server is located in the United States. External communities aren’t retrieved via your machine, but via their server.
aponigricon@beehaw.orgto Lemmy.World Announcements•Tomorrow many subreddits will open up again, will you switch back to Reddit or stay on Lemmy (or use both)15·2 years agoI’m a mod of a moderately sized subreddit (~15k) with lots of people who use Reddit only to interact with that community. We’ve been trying to disseminate information about our official Lemmy, Kbin and Raddle alternatives, but adoption has been slow to nonexistent. So I’m probably going to stick around in both, if for no other reason that to moderate said subreddit.

That doesn’t discourage some of them, especially in high-profile cases like this. Robert Servatiuses exist everywhere.
aponigricon@beehaw.orgto Lemmy.World Announcements•I signed up for lemmy.world because I don't want to write an essay. Shout out to the lazy people.5·2 years agoThey explicitly told me in Matrix to not write that, so I just wrote two paragraphs summarizing the two posts they linked in the application guide.
aponigricon@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What‘s keeping us from promoting Lemmy on Reddit?17·2 years agoNone of the Mod posts regarding the Blackout mentioned Lemmy as far as I‘m aware
Rumor has it they banned a lot of mods and communities for encouraging exactly that to their subscribers, so it was considered quite risky.
aponigricon@beehaw.orgtoApple•YSK about Mlem, a beta iOS app for Lemmy that’s already providing a solid UIEnglish7·2 years agoIt works the same as Apollo. You have to tap the text at the very top of the screen (be it the current community name, “All Posts”, “Subscribed”, etc.) and then you should be able to search for any communities tracked in the cache of your instance.
aponigricon@beehaw.orgto Programming@beehaw.org•I have a confession to make... I code in Comic SansEnglish5·2 years agoIt’s interesting that you added serifs and monospacing to a sans serif font. It’s almost like comic sans but with all the things that make it comic sans removed.
aponigricon@beehaw.orgto Lemmy.World Announcements•I signed up for lemmy.world because I don't want to write an essay. Shout out to the lazy people.5·2 years agoHm, that’s definitely not true. Just ask the admins to remove that user and let you try again.
I know of several different groups working on this, from the main developers of Lemmy to people hacking together browser plugins to make this possible already now. I think we will start seeing some of the first of these released in the coming week or two.
IIRC, there’s also devices you can buy that will literally measure your eye movements while you sleep and only wake you up at the optimal times.
Here’s one I found with a quick search: https://somalytics.com/somasleep/
Sadly not yet available.
aponigricon@beehaw.orgtoTechnology@beehaw.org•Is there any good alternative to imgur for uploading screenshots?2·2 years agoNo they don’t? 🤔 I’m pretty sure they did once, but right now I am able to upload images with no account. Just dragging the file into the browser window works.

aponigricon@beehaw.orgto Disability and Accessibility@beehaw.org•The Fight Against AbleismEnglish1·2 years agoI love how one of the first posts in this community is a link to the Anarchist Library. Proves that Lemmy doesn’t have to be associated with tankies.

aponigricon@beehaw.orgtoTechnology@beehaw.org•how new.reddit looks in private browsingEnglish36·2 years agoAs a mod I’ve been considering this, but with the amount of moderators and communities that have been banned for attempting to steer their users to alternatives, it’s simply not worth the risk. For now, I’ve just linked visitors to our Discord server instead, and people should be able to find the Lemmy and Raddle alternatives there if they wish to.
aponigricon@beehaw.orgto Beehaw Support@beehaw.org•the hopefully final June 2023 financial update for Beehaw (lol)English1·2 years agoI see. Thank you for the fast reply.
Man I’m tempted to host an old Reddit clone that displays Fediverse content. You should even be able to use RES with it!
