As in the image, there's a header that mentions the email auth being enabled and to check spam. Jerboa renders it quite oddly. Is this expected behaviour (as in instance admins shouldn't add text like this) or is this worthy of a github issue?

This image depicts the actual site, the following text: NEW USERS: We have temporarily enabled email verification until Captchas have been re-released. If you do not get an email please check your spam/junk folder. is the problem.

Edit: According to our instance admin this is a jerboa issue. "Its not rendering an element thats available within the lemmy features. Not doing anything custom that lemmy doesnt do"

I shall file a bug report later tonight unless someone beats me to it!

Update: An issue was already filed, you may follow it here

Update 2: This issue was fixed with this merge

I am assuming many of you have heard about the potential of Meta creating an ActivityPub enabled client (TheVerge, PCMag etc. have made articles). I was just wondering what people's thoughts are on this, and if it came down to it should instances in the fediverse defederate from it considering it could be a case of Embrace, extend, extinguish.

There's a DefederateMeta magazine at [email protected] if you're interested, which includes an anti-meta pact on cryptpad with the responses viewable on a seperate website if you care to see which instance admins have agreed.

I'm just curious what my fellow sh.it.heads think of this development in the fediverse, any input is appreciated!

Reposting at the request of can, within the context of c/agora should this instance defederate from any future Meta activity pub enabled clients? From my understanding it is more so a Twitter-clone and I'd argue a more severe problem for Kbin / Mastodon, but it is still worth discussing here.

I am just wondering what matrix instances are recommended. I would rather not use the main matrix.org instance, but I still want something with good up-time, updated software and that is privacy respecting.

Thanks!

~~Update: I am trying arcticfoxes, thank you for all of your suggestions! Feel free to leave more as it may help others who come across this post in the future.~~

Update 2: I had an issue with cross signing, but it works on envs.net so I am assuming it's an issue with the arcticfoxes instance. I am now using envs.net. As I said before, feel free to leave more suggestions for others who come across this post.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to figure out which instances are blocking this one? I know beehaw is as it was quite public, but now we are blocked by 2 and I am just curious which instance is the second one. I have looked on the awesome-lemmy-instances page and also tried Federation Observer, The Federation Info and FediDB but none of them seem to have this information.

Edit: Lemmymap seems like the easiest option, as you can't specifically search for an instance. It seems like https://news.cosocial.ca/instances is the other instance that has blocked us! Thank you bdonvr for mentioning this.

Edit2: It should be noted that this is a very small instance as mentioned by PriorProject, and is nothing to be worried about.

Is the matrix user option just to allow for direct messages akin to what Reddit has, but keeping them on a seperate platform to avoid the devs having to replicate federated DMing tech that already exists in another project?

Also, how many of you are using it? What matrix home servers do you recommend?

thanks!

I am just curious what the state of android auto alternatives are at this point.

As much as I would like to use GrapheneOS I would find it quite hard to part with Android Auto / Apple CarPlay. I am not expecting Android Auto to be one of the apps to be available in sandboxed gapps, but I would like to see a viable alternative that is better than using OsmAnd with my phone mounted to the dashboard.

Lovely website to test what armour trims look like in various combinations!

IMO, the default Lemmy style is ridiculous on desktop (especially widescreen). I saw a few posts on other servers with some Stylus CSS changes and they were a good start. I made a few changes to get rid of some of the crazy font sizes, padding/margin, and width.

The CSS: https://pastebin.com/b71sNaRe

Hopefully this makes things more bearable for a few people. (If you use dark mode, just delete lines 10, 11, and 12.)
