It is a good day to fry.

What’s the difference between Kitsune and the existing lightweight servers microblog, GoToSocial, etc?

Good news: long-press on a community name pops up a menu with choices of actions already

Kbin can block whole domains

Semi-proud to say that after an intro day showing him the scope of the software, my replacement quit. We tried to tell him in the interview but maybe he just didn’t believe us.

Anyone know of an iOS version?

Looks neat! Anyone know of an iOS version?

This link seems right: https://gitlab.com/veilid/veilid

(I think the other link requires login just so GitLab can check if it’s a private repo. It’s not, they just got the link wrong somehow, and it’s not because the repo was renamed.)

I’m using Voyager and that’s a simple matter of a short left swipe, or the setting to hide read posts (and expanding its image or voting counts as having “read” it). But I don’t use the second and the first is tedious, so I feel similarly and don’t use anything but top (12 or 24 usually).

I’ve noticed this too and I’m not on lemmy.world, though I haven’t noticed whether the posts themselves were.

edit: happens in a lemmy.ml thread I checked too

It wasn’t an issue because whenever someone would make a comment, it would “bump” the thread back up the top of the feed (whatever form the feed took). I think the “hot” filter is supposed to take interactions into account, but I think most people just browse top 12/24 hours.

edit: “active” sort seems to do this?

I think the bang only works for communities: !obviousplant@lemmy.world. Voyager can also handle http links to communities (if the link is in a comment or post body, not a post link): https://lemmy.world/c/obviousplant.

Posts and comments are known feature requests that are non-trivial to implement.

Also, given OP’s “very bright dusty” back yard, it’s likely water is a concern. So, collecting and reusing rain water for a shade garden could be also be a big improvement for general sustainability (plus energy savings).

Check out “solar generators”. They take input power from something variable like a solar panel, recharge their internal battery, and then provide lots of different outlets to power or recharge various devices. So, mostly “just” a battery, but very well set up for exactly this kind of thing.

Just responded. Check my other comment.

Why fork Pleroma in the first place?

As many of you will be aware, back in 01/2022, there was something of a schism in the smallish group of Pleroma developers with no single cause in my eyes - it was the culmination of years of mounting tensions between two competing interest groups. Pleroma has ever been an uneasy alliance between “free speech” people and free software people, and as the project’s creator aligned more with the former group over time, it was only really a matter of time before something acted as a catalyst to break the alliance.

I shan’t elaborate too much on that schism here, but the catalyst was one developer who both aligned with the “free speech” group and refused to treat other developers with any sort of respect (whilst being a generally unpleasant person to boot) - this broke the developer group in two and spawned the short-lived “newroma” (see, at least I’m not that bad at naming).

[…]

Most of the developers that split off in the fork then went back to Pleroma, after a band-aid fix from the almost-never-present project creator.

I do not believe they have meaningfully reformed anything since the schism, and it’s naught but a power vacuum waiting for someone to take up the mantle of maintainer again - given the track record of the above, I do not trust that whoever ends up winning that power struggle will be someone I wish to side with.

Thus, I’m doing it myself. With blackjack and anime music.

If you like Pleroma but found it problematic, definitely check out Akkoma!

I’m pretty sure Akkoma allows for several levels before the admins fully defed another instance. Like, I think one is that they can take an instances off the public timeline. And I think it’ll be great when individual users can block instances (on the server side) so it doesn’t have to be on the admins and have ad much of an effect on the communities at large.
