  • I am honestly not surprised. But I'd guess this is a problem in public women spaces on other platforms too. The internet in general has kinda always been notorious for not being friendly to women.

    Not really sure what the solution is. Realistically IRL isn't that women-friendly either 🤷

  • The nature of Lemmy is that users can go sign up on another instance and continue their tirade. With that said, surely if the comment was reported they would be banned from the community?

    All public online communities are not exempt from trolls. Lemmy admins are pretty good at coordinating between instances, tracking and removing troll users, but it's endless work and often no one has even reported the problematic content.

  • Oh thanks for tagging me, I knew this was coming but it hadn't been front of mind. Looks like my calendar is free that weekend so far! Will have to get onto planning something.

  • I've been playing this too. Seems like every time I open it there has been an update with new features added!

  • Help with MonicaHQ notifications

    Jump

  • The documentation says it's possible to send test notification:

    That whole notification section is not familiar at all. There is current work to completely redo Monica and when I view their beta at https://beta.monicahq.com/ then it seems to reflect that new version. So I suspect that documentation is wrong for the current version (which hasn't been meaningfully updated in years).

    In addition to what rhe other user asked, what do logs say, how are you configuring emails?

  • Thanks for posting this question! I have the same problem and never thought to ask 😑

  • Fedecan.ca has been updated with a generalized threadiverse section, an updated list of alternative UIs, and an RSS feed for announcements

  • Nice job! You guys have awesome content for users.

  • Why doesn't Lemmy/Piedfed use ALT tags as much as Mastodon?

    Jump

  • I try really hard to always add alt text! Maybe this is something the Lemmy software/apps need to support more, e.g. prompt the user if no alt text is provided.

    Just checked, and Mastodon provides a little warning to tell you to add alt text:

    It's probably not even clear to most Lemmy users that the [] for images in markdown are where you put the alt text.

  • Android Fediverse client that does not send user agent to servers

    Jump

  • Tracker Control blocks requests to domains. When you use Voyager to read an article, Voyager loads the website which might contain trackers. Tracker Control can help block that sort of thing.

  • Android Fediverse client that does not send user agent to servers

    Jump

  • I haven't tested but what happens if you use Voyager in a browser (e.g. at https://vger.app/), presumably you can use an extension to set your user agent in the browser while still getting the Voyager experience?

    Plex's lifetime subscription cost is tripling to $750

    Jump

  • You can. It syncs the Jellyfin database into the Kodi one so you browse with Kodi but the content comes from Jellyfin. Works pretty great really.

    Rimu Mass Bans Users

    Jump

  • The big difference here is that Rimu banning these users has a small impact on them. They can't participate on or interact with piefed.social, but that's only a small part of the whole ecosystem.

  • Be honest: Do you still use mainstream social media?

    Jump

  • We asked in our instance census about use of lemmy-like platforms (reddit, hacker news) and most people said they still used them in some respect. Only 7 our of 49 who answered this question said they never use them, over half use them equally or more than Fediverse alternatives.

    Personally I use Facebook messenger, well I normally use Beeper because I don't have facebook on my phone but I still use the platform to connect with people. And video call on my laptop from time to time.

  • The browser shouldn't even know I have the Play Store.

    Every app on your Android phone knows every other app you have installed. GrapheneOS are trying to solve this but it's challenging.

  • Damn, I have a 240v induction stove, can I melt metal? 😆

    I tried searching this question but apparently there are safety features to prevent me doing cool stuff.
