LASIM - Move your Lemmy settings from one account to another
Bean, a Lemmy app for iOS, has officially launched
flipscreen.social Stephen Radford :telly: (@[email protected])
My app Bean for #Lemmy is now available on the App Store! I hope you'll check it out 🥺 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bean-for-lemmy/id6451421455
Yeah, there are some really cool things you can't do on Mastodon, such as Misskey-formatted-markup.
For example: look at those kitties go!
There are never enough.
We really don't bite here. 🐱
Or - now this is a shot in the dark - we get stux's attention and he responds before we tell other users to move instances. You know, just a thought, since he's the guy who deals with site issues, talking to the person who can do something about it is usually a good idea.
The Klingon boy band made the final cut, thankfully. However, they shot two versions of the Klingons, led by Bruce Horak as the Klingon captain. The second was opera. Ultimately, the opera take felt too close to the other singing. Luckily, the Klingon boy band won.
I repeat: geddit.social (this instance) is not a client. Nor is this community about that. You are confused between two different things called "geddit", neither of which are alike. We have nothing to do with them.
This website - geddit.social - has nothing to do with the other - unfortunately named - reddit client for Android, nor are we affiliated with reddit in any way, nor do we code anything that accesses reddit. I promise, we aren't lying to you. You are confusing two different things based on a similar name. You can go ahead and argue the point with me but your suggestions are not going to reach their intended audience & you'll be wasting your time.
Here's the difference:
- That app, also named geddit, has a github page, which you've mentioned. Did you look at their about section? It's on the right side of the page. Humour me and go look. Did you notice the website that is listed there? You might want to open it and check...because this isn't it. The two couldn't be more different visually. This website has dark mode on default. That website has a blindingly white background. The difference is extremely striking.
- This website (geddit.social) is a Lemmy instance owned by stux (you may have heard of the cat who runs mstdn.social, masto.ai, mastodon.coffee, among other fun services), which is an open-source alternative to reddit, linked to other services such as Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc in something called the Fediverse, which you appear to be familiar with since you're posting from another Lemmy instance (lemmy.sdf.org). In fact, if you actually go to our website, geddit.social (humour me and go there, I'll wait), there are links at the bottom of every page that explain this is a Lemmy instance, just like the one you are using to post here.
Once again, that app and this website (geddit.social) are completely different entities (one accesses reddit, the other does not) and only share a similar name. We aren't an app or a client, let alone do we have anything to do with reddit. This is a website. Not an app. People use Lemmy apps to access this instance. Lemmy is a Fediverse server software that other apps access. I couldn't make the distinction any clearer. The name for this instance was chosen when we had no idea anything similarly named existed. It is just an unfortunate coincidence.
You are posting in [email protected] - which is a community (on the geddit.social instance) about the instance itself (where we post news all our users should know). Nothing to do with anything that may or may not share a similar name. This is a completely different entity.
Once again, no, this website is NOT a client for reddit. In any conceivable sense. Nor do we have such a thing here.
geddit isn't a client, it's an instance/server of Lemmy (which has its own API). To say Lemmy doesn't have an API is false. It very much does. (In order for there to be apps for Lemmy, it would logically follow that there's an API for them to use.)
I am not a fan of a reddit relay (at least, not on here). We should be building a new community here rather than amplifying posts from the other place. Of course, you are free to set up your own instance that does this but I won't be supporting that here.
I'd like to know how you'd propose to set up something like that, considering reddit API access is unreasonably expensive (which prompted the exodus away from reddit in the first place). Because you need a way to talk to reddit too. That's what APIs do ("application programming interface" - it's in the name). In my understanding, you can't just code something like that without a) accessing reddit's API to read posts and b) accessing lemmy's API to write them. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, though. They're not going to let you scrape their data for free.
But if you have a secret gold mine stashed away somewhere that you can afford this, why not contribute to the continuing development of lemmy or this instance instead of spending it on reddit's API access? You know, it's just a thought.
It's a known bug with lemmy. Regardless of the message, they're already subscribed. Just gotta wait it out and it will go away on its own.

www.thedailybeast.com ‘X’ Rebrand Gets Twitter Blocked Under Indonesia Porn Laws
The domain X.com had previously been used by sites running afoul of the country’s rules on “negative” content.
Correction: Uhura*
That's a lot of words just to say "we know nothing".
.world is a firefish instance. not the main firefish instance (which is .social).
so when I said, "it's not the same person running it" - the flagship instance, if you will, is .social. many of the main people coding it are on .social (afaik). .world is just another instance.
that was i meant, if i need to clarify : the main main people coding-wise are not the same. the flagship instance (which is not .world) is not run by the same people as the mastodon flagship instance.
"the flagship instance" (if you will) of Mastodon is mastodon.social. not run by the same people who run firefish.social. they are not the same thing, run by the same people.
that's what I was getting at. i guess I only make sense to myself.
Just to clear something up, CalcKey is now known as Firefish(.social) and that's run by a completely different person.

A Tampermonkey script that displays your “karma” score next to your user name
Crossgeposted from: https://feddit.de/post/1185964
Please excuse my sub-par JavaScript, I am a backend dev.
All you need to do is paste this into Tampermonkey and enter your username and your instance url (on two locations).
This is not showing other users’ scores and it doesn’t make your score visible to anyone else than yourself.
So no need for karma farming. This is just for fun.
