I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Note: I'm moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I'll share more info :)

  • What should the subset of the Fediverse that is Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed be called?

    Jump

  • I've been using threadiverse, but I prefer forumverse

    It's immediately clear what it's referring to, and it leaves it open to other compatible platforms once they implement activity pub nicely. Being able to subscribe and post to official support forums from the forumverse would be a cool promo point

    Also people refer to many things as "threads". Conversations, comment sections, discord has threads. Forum is much more clear

  • Or "aggressive"

  • It stopped doing that a few months back, but it still randomly asks every now and then. I wish Android could deny permanently

  • The autofill popup has always been unreliable for me on Android (with Bitwarden)

    I use the quick settings tile most of the time instead

  • Brand new guides for Lemmy and the Fediverse. Looking for feedback!

  • This is good feedback, I'll note them down for the next set of changes

    Regarding ! coding_enthusiasts@lemmy.zip

  • Looks cool, you should definitely build the community the way you want to!

    It's sometimes easier to build up an existing community that already has a number of subscribers but could use more love and attention. Of course you can also cross post to and from that other community if you'd prefer to grow a new one.

    In this case, I'm thinking of !learn_programming@programming.dev. If you wanted to, you could reach out and offer to help moderate

  • Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices

    Jump

  • I think it's a mix of the two. There are legitimate reasons, and commercial reasons

    Synology does not manufacture its own hard drives but instead certifies and rebrands drives from Toshiba and Seagate, leaving out only Western Digital among the world's largest manufacturers.

  • Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices

    Jump

  • They're disabling features

    Synology, maker of network-attached storage (NAS) devices, will seemingly remove advanced features from its Plus devices that are not using hard drives provided by, or certified by, Synology itself, starting with its 2025 lineup.

    What you might lose from using non-Synology-approved hard drives could include pool creation and support for any issues. De-duplication, lifespan analysis, and automatic HDD firmware updates could also disappear on non-approved drives, Synology's press release suggests.

  • What is the 48.4% for Reddit, since it isn't decentralized at all?

  • How do you feel about posting to a dead thread?

    Jump

  • I get comments on months old posts, I'm fine with it since it will help future users

    If the person is looking for a discussion (ex. They need help with the software I posted about), then it's usually better they make a new post

  • The format of the post also looked similar to spam posts at first glance. A lot of them are pushing AI things

  • Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women?

  • While this won't be the case with everyone, it was mentioned a few times in a post I made here a long while back

    I’m a woman, and make no attempt to hide that fact in my posts. That said, I also don’t personally have much interest in talking about being a woman, so don’t sub to any of those places you linked.

    Over on Reddit I just sort of let people assume I was male a lot of the time, since it wasn’t really relevant to what we were talking about. But from the start on Lemmy I’ve made sure to call out incorrect assumptions, downvote and give a talking to people stereotyping or being misogynistic, etc etc. And the more of us (of all genders) that make that same decision, the better things get

  • Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post.

    Jump

  • This does happen with comments sometimes. I go into a post and someone has already eloquently said what I would have said (often better than I would have). So I upvote it and move along

  • Pixelix, a 3rd party app for PixelFed landed a few days ago

  • Good to know, Pixelfed logins have consistently been buggy for me. I hope they improve that over time
