As far as I know Lemmy stores only text locally and images and such will be linked to the external instance. Text doesn’t use much disk space, so that shouldn’t be a big a problem. Sometimes when you browse Lemmy, you notice posts that have broken links to images. It’s because the other instance is down, but you can still see the text portion of the posts on your home instance.

There’s also pornlemmy.com. You don’t need to be logged in to view posts and there’s no anime/hentai or aigen stuff.

Use your instance’s search feature. You can search

• Name of community: No Stupid Questions
• By using !community@instance syntax: !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
• URL of the community: https://lemmy.world/c/nostupidquestions

First option won’t work if your instance hasn’t federated the community yet. The last option is best in my opinion.

Lemmy.world is not yet 0.18, so that too might affect it.

It’s not a feature of Lemmy and, I guess, no-one has wanted to create it for their app. You should submit this idea to the Lemmy developers so it will eventually be a feature in every app.

Random fact of the day: The hard thing at one end of a banana is not a seed, the tiny dark speckles throughout a banana are seeds.

Isn’t it so that if you play hardcore mode (your character dies permanently), and you disconnect for any reason, your character is considered dead? Online only requirement goes really well for that kind of game mode, where it might be the server that falls offline, and not your PC…

Some communities have bots that copies posts from Reddit. Some do that so there would be more content in Lemmy. Those bots probably don’t break any rules set by the Admins of those instances.

Personally I don’t like that content is being copied without the permission of those who made the posts in Reddit. Also, in some cases it sort of defies the whole point of the community. For example, one of the Explain Like I’m Five communities has a bot like that. The bot includes a link to the original post. Why would anyone reply to the bot’s post, when you can just read the explanation from the original post? That doesn’t help make Lemmy more active place when a bot posts things and no human ever replies to them.

At the bottom of the page, it says something like “BE 0.17.4”. BE means BackEnd, in this case that would be Lemmy.

I am sure they are breaking some made up rule the Admins will start enforcing in the next couple of days.

Do you perhaps use Top Daily as your sorting? If there are no top posts today (no-one has voted), there’s no posts that can be shown. I can see the posts just fine, but if I change to Top Daily, there’s nothing. Newest post to that community was made three days ago.

They also have ourblind.com which currently only points to their Discord. They are planning to use that as landing page to their Reddit, Lemmy and Discord communities.

There’s been some reports that Reddit is removing posts that say “fuck u/spez” or have some picture of spez.

Also moderators aren’t allowed to comply with the results of those votes that some subs have held recently. So, if they change their sub to private or restricted, they break some rule, even though their users wanted that. And if they open the sub to rules voted by their users, they also break some rule.

r/Blind mods created their own Lemmy instance at https://rblind.com/. They use some beta features and their own modifications to make it more accessible.

That’s the one line that jumped at my face as well when I read that interview. At least one other app developer said they’d have to pay about the same amount of money for Reddit. So all the third party apps would probably be something like 60 million+/year with those numbers.

Relay for Reddit is planning to go subscription only. They are currently planning 2-3 USD per month price point, based on their analysis of users using 100 API calls per day on average. But if the subscription fee drives away low-rate users, they will likely need to increase the price. https://www.reddit.com/r/RelayForReddit/comments/147152b/update_how_the_current_api_changes_would_impact/

XQC is doing their first stream on Kick, and the site has been down more or less the whole time.

Some people use laptops for doing mobile work, and in some cases that work requires computing power and possibly external peripherals which might require power from the computer. And, of course, games are power hungry.

Higher wattage chargers can also charge the battery faster. Lithium batteries, regardless of their size, can be charged to full in one hour (but it’s recommended for full charge to take about 1.5 to 2 hours to not wear down the battery). The bigger the battery the more wattage you need to charge it that fast. Especially if you are using the computer at the same time.

I think one reason is that Bethesda’s previous game’s, Fallout 76’s, release didn’t go very smoothly. Not at all smoothly. Internet Historian has a good video about that: The Fall of 76
