What are some must have web extensions or TamperMonkey scripts for Fediverse social medias (like Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin ect ect). in c/[email protected]

Thank you. This really should be a user profile option. Here's hoping.

Is there a way to make instance-agnostic links? in c/[email protected]

That's what this does:

[Some text here]([email protected])

Tap the 'more' skinny hamburger menu just ~~above~~ below this message to 'view source' of the below:

blah blah blah links to [email protected]

Actually..better, here is one for an instance that is neither yours or the one you posted into:

Move the hamburger/Vivaldi menu icon to the far right? (beehaw.org)
 

I keep hitting the menu icon instead of the workspace icon when trying to switch to a different workspace.

Yeah yeah...get out your world's smallest violin. I am aware. 😜

With Lemmy.ml communities always 'Subscription Pending' I can't cross post. (beehaw.org)
 

(copy+pasted from an attempted) cross-posted from: https://beehaw.org/post/659384

From 3 other lemmy.ml federated lemmings I cannot fully subscribe to lemmy.ml communities. They all just stay in 'Subscription Pending'. It was pointed out that I would still get updates from these communities, and I decided to roll with it. BUT the thing is… you can't cross-post using the lemmy built in if not fully subscribed.

How long until this might be alleviated? Has lemmy.ml considered asking some communities to move to a less loaded lemmy? Seemingly every floss project seems to have homed here, and the subscription pending thing is getting problematic.

Thanks for all the hard work. I just want to know if it's known/being addressed.

Subscriptions are actually completing now. Takes a minute and manual intervention. But they are going to 'Joined'.

Instance for Literature/Books specific communities? (beehaw.org)
 

Do any of you know of an instance that would be good for creating more hyper specific Literature/books communities? Not the big two lemmy.ml or lemmy.world or any that would get defederated here. Basically not any of the instances that are getting crushed ATM or are too unmoderated.

By specific, I mean fan communities for a specific author, series, genre etc.

Your favorite smaller Vivaldi feature(s) (beehaw.org)
 

I love "Use native window" along with Ctrl-F11 for a windowed fullscreen experience. (this is especially nice in tiling windowed environments)

What's your secret lesser promoted feature of Vivaldi?

How do lemmings update their local list of communities@foreignInstance? (beehaw.org)
 

I am trying to find an additional home base lemmy that I jive with that is a bit smaller and less likely to get crushed. While exploring I have found disparities in which foreign communities I can search for and find despite all being in the federated instance list. Most of the time I can’t find the community I know exists, or I do find and the User count is so wildly off that I question if I have found the correct one(I have).

It seems to me that the communities@foreignInstance are irregularly/periodically updated into a local cache. If I am correct can Lemmy servers at least expose ‘Last Update time’, ‘Next Update time’ and just general mean time between updates?

Here it comes - Reddit admins taking over subs in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Wait...the comment seems to indicate that the primary mod did not want to go dark, and an inactive mod came in and made it go dark. I understand being upset...but this does not seem like anything a Reddit admin would do?

new Beehaw community icons! in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Love them! And yes for consistency. Great work.

Redditors, how do you like Lemmy? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So far so good. This is actually my first comment.

I had a hard time wrapping my head around how the federation worked. But figured out I just search here in communities only with my keywords. If I don't get a result here and https://browse.feddit.de then it means no community has yet been created anywhere.

I decided to make Beehaw my 'home' server after discovering it actually had an 'interview' that I jived with and a moderated/structured set of communities. As my first deeper 'test' of lemmy I have created my first community at lemmy.world since it seemed like the place for my random community about a grocery store chain: [email protected]

If I was making a specific tech/software related community I likely would have chosen lemmy.ml as that's where many other tech/software related projects have landed so far. But lemmy.world seemed the better choice for random.

Does this seem relatively close to be how I should handle things in the lemmyverse?

Edit: It would be nice if there was a user setting to open external links in new tabs.
