I've been working for the past week on a new kbin app. At the moment, it's just a prototype and only the "Feed" view has content (you can't sign into an account or post anything yet); you can see threads, thread images, thread comments, thread links, and thread votes/boosts. You can also change the "Theme Mode" and "Instance...
I think he said even further back that he wanted to eventually come back to it but I also certainly did not wanted to discourage OP from working on his own one, especially an open source one that could get picked up by someone else if needed. I think the more apps we got, the better. And hopefully some of the Lemmy exclusive apps will support kbin too after the full API release.
Now I just need to find a convenient way to save this piece of code and copy-paste it whenever I need it 🤔
Honestly, I'd just suggest to add a button for it in the editor after the code one? I think it's a common enough thing to use to warrant it. For every other formatting maybe a little link for a pop up or expandable that shows the remaining formatting rules, similar to how it was on old.reddit.
Today, I began testing a new instance deployment process, which is an absolute must-have before the release. I also initiated preparations for new test environments that I will be using for developing the federation. The first iteration of comment wrapping has been introduced on the instance as well.
I just suddenly found my user over there banned. Not for getting in a fight or breaking any rules, but just for criticizing and asking questions regarding its recent vague Terms of Service. In fact, no reason, warning, or reply was given beforehand, and the admin who did it suddenly scaled to banned, with no reply or anything...
If Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml both suck ass, then that pretty much means that 90%+ of all communities are straight up gone. Which means at this stage one might just go back to fucking Reddit. Because what's the point of having shitty admins and no communities?
There's already a lack of communities int he fediverse, and you want me to sit there in some, if they even exist, that get maybe a thread within 2-6 weeks? What's the point in that?
I didn't contribute to Reddit either, at least not in form of submissions, but I think my Reputation points make it obvious enough that I am in fact still contributing through user interaction. Just because you not liking what I have to say does not change that. With that in mind, if all people thought like me, there would at least be a lot more going on in the Fediverse as I'm definitely way more active than the majority of users in the fediverse.
And I'm looking for content, not to provide it myself. Especially not for subs & communities who refuse to do their moderation properly, or even straight up ban those who tried to help through reporting offending content. I'm sick and tired of playing the unpaid worker for abusive overlords on a power trip. There has been way too much faith lost for me to care.
Am I missing something or does this only have a cards type mode?!
Edit: You have to disable "inline previews" to get a regular / compact view.
Edit: Too bad you need an account for subbing. One of the features I'll miss from Infinity.
Yes but that does not create a custom frontpage with just your subscribed subs. Infinity was able to do that even without an account.
Not a huge fan of the colors & layout of RedReader either but it's not like there's a lot of options now.

I've probably spent an hour in the past month just trying to login to kbin, clearing site data, refreshing, retrying. I thought the bug was fixed recently but it's worse than ever now....
In an interview Thursday with NBC News, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman praised Musk’s aggressive cost-cutting and layoffs at Twitter, and said he had chatted “a handful of times” with Musk on the subject of running an internet platform.
Huffman said he saw Musk’s handling of Twitter, which he purchased last year, as an example for Reddit to follow
Does the option to add an image via URL not work? I have tried in both Brave and Firefox desktop browsers and the Brave mobile app - clicking the "From URL" or "Upload File" doesn't appear to do anything....
TL;DR: even if your delete script confirms a full wipe and your Reddit profile page shows zero comment, there may still be comments left over (that you can find through a search engine and delete manually on Reddit)....
Or when replies to a now removed comment ended up as top level comment, making reading the comments sometimes super confusing. Reddit's backend is probably nothing but spaghetti code. Hence why the redesign & mobile app are both also such piles of garbage. It would likely need a complete rewrite, but they probably don't have any sort of way to do that and maintain all the old legacy content. That's also a good reason to go closed source, especially if you want to become a traded company. Investors are probably not having the hots for garbage code that everyone can look at & criticize.
So, after EndeavourOS's GRUB comitted suicide, me being too stupid to understand chroot despite wiki "tutorials" and the community rather trolling & gaslighting me instead of helping I decided to give Nobara a go. Usually I am a Plasma KDE guy, but thought since it's been a long time I try it out, especially since you can have...
My goal is to have a functional desktop with good gaming capabilities.
EOS / Arch was that until it nuked itself, something that not even Manjaro managed to do, which, for all its bad reputation, had much less issues in a much longer time frame of use. It's not really about having "that extra 1 FPS in a game", but to ensure actual game compatibility, including for titles that aren't 2 years old.
I'm aware it is not an official project, but I don't think any of GE's changes should affect much of the issues I am facing with it. And seeing this I will have an even harder time to recommend any sort of Gnome distro towards complete newbies trying to make the switch. Imagine this being their first experience with a Linux ecosystem.
Steam can't be closed properly as it ends up sitting unresponsive in the task bar and needs its task to be killed.
Edit:
I found out the Firefox spellcheck somehow fetches its dictionaries from "/usr/share/hunspell". How do I make FF fetch the regular dictionaries I added to it through Firefox, or what is the proper way to find dictionaries for that folder (I assume I can just delete the excess English variants)?
Edit:
You can just remove the folder in about:config, however it now shows only the US spelling, despite having another language installed...
Edit:
Managed to get the other spellcheck dictionary to show up.
Evolution mail client fails at 2 factor authentication. Window just shows "OAuth2 secreot not found" and no matter how many times I try it does not send a verification request to my phone.
Edit:
"Files" can't jump to folders starting with letter X because it immediately uses the (still crashy) search function.
Can't drag & drop files from my Firefox download manager (pop up, not extra window) onto a folder without having to manually tab to it. Tabbing starts AFTER the "Files" process though, so you have to tab all the way through. Under KDE I could just drag it onto the file manager in the panel, which would focus the file manager and then drop the files in or onto the folder I wanted.
"Archive Manager (also known as File Roller)" can't even drag & drop files from an archive into a folder. I don't even know how people can use Gnome with it lacking such basic functionalities. What the hell are you doing with your lives?!
Edit:
OpenRGB now suddenly works as intended. Not sure if there was an update for it or if that's a temporary oddity but for now I'll take it.
I use btrfs + encryption. The tutorials just state "you have to do this and that", but not exactly what any of that means or how I apply it to my system, since the commands obviously need tinkering to make sense for my specific use case. It's not really a step by step, but a step by step jump to step X for this and then to step Y for that but make sure to do "something you don't understand / know" to be sure that "something you also don't know". It's basically all just a cryptic mess if you don't know any of it beforehand and I don't think the authors have tested their tutorials on people without prior background knowledge.
@FaeDrifter
Tried to install it on my old laptop for testing and the installer just gives me this warning before installing:
"Boot from mbr does not work together with btrfs filesystem ang gpt disk label without bios_grub partition. To fix this issue, - create a bios_grub partition, or - use any Ext filesystem for boot partition, or - do not install stage 1 to MBR."
I really have no idea what it wants. I used the guided partitioning so I would expect it to handle that for me? Also, why do they not have a working live environment to test it before installation? Honestly not a great start.
Edit: Oof. So I just tried to install it on my desktop, first one failed tremendously and didn't boot. Tried again and wiping the partitions proper instead of "on demand" of the garbage installer. Got a system, try to switch down to 1080p and it gives me this super stretched pancake resolution instead. Hell no.
Probably my worst experience yet. Couldn't even change my resolution to 1080p and it would also not install a bootloader on my old test laptop. Idea is nice, but the critical bugs and antique software really speak against it.
Tried KDE Nobara after OpenSUSE and oh boy...
First Dolphin just crashed, always. Trying to report this caused even the crash handler to crash. Apparently there's a bug with encrypted setups and you have to manually create the thumbnail folder to fix this. No idea why this is not patched yet. Or maybe it is, but I can't further update the system anymore because of all packages throwing GPG errors now. This is all cursed to hell.
I booted in bios legacy mode?
What "weird bios options" could an old 2009 laptop bios possibly have, that are used by default on top of that and never caused any sort of issues with any other Linux distro before? The only ones that didn't run on that thing were both Nobara variants, which is likely more of an old gpu issue.
I've had many wayland issues on other distros before, but never this specific one. It's usually the same on every one, like blurry scaling, scaling affecting games, fsync causing frequent few seconds long blackscreens, or just a lot of game specific stuff. The issue here did not fix itself even after a reboot. I really don't care where the issue stems from, I can only say that this was very unique to OpenSUSE.
So what the Suse installer is telling you is that you really should use a /boot partition if installing on a GPT partition table.
Why is it telling ME that when I trusted the partitioning to the installer? I really don't understand how that should be my fault for the partitioner to act faulty. And btw. there's only two options: 1) to erase the disk if needed and 2) erase the entire disk anyway. I selected the second one because the first one didn't even work at all, so from my perspective it should have not used any potential GPT partitions that the previous distro could've potentially created, but erased the entire thing and start from scratch with everything it would need, including a valid boot partition. If OpenSUSE, for some reason, requires me to wipe my drive clean BEFORE I even start the installer, then they should specify that beforehand - or provide a less antique installer that can actually do it itself.
At least ChatGPT is a more polite than the toxic, racist & sexist shit that remains on Reddit. Scrolled through /r/all this morning and was appalled by some of the toxic comments in the various submissions. I also noticed some sockpuppets somehow spewing the same bullshit opinion about certain topics, using the literal same type of phrasing too, just in different comment chains and with different accounts.
Honestly, probably better for my blood pressure to stay away from most of it.
12 years for me as well, but from my point of view I'd say good riddance. Reddit has been gone to shit over the past ~5 years. I will miss Relay though.

Forking tree branches are also a good analogy. Point being that they all stem from the same root but basically branch off of it into another direction.
Posts and comments must be separately deleted before deleting your account. If not separately deleted, the content of the posts and comments will remain visible and disassociated from any account. If you want your posts and comments removed, follow the instructions on our help page.
Yeah, this is illegal. At least under GDPR. I'm not familiar with the California law.
Reddit has to delete ANY data associated with your account, and that would include the comments made.
Currently, on the main instance, people have created 40191 accounts (+214 marked as deleted). I don't know how many are active because I don't monitor it, but once again, I greet all of you here :) In recent days, the traffic on the website has been overwhelming.
