I replied to Blaze in another thread, essentially saying that [email protected] is currently a backup / potential replacement for this community (depending how things go with feddit.nl)

(Commenting on an old post to see if it’ll bring it - and hopefully everything after it - through to a new instance)

Confirmed: they’re all just saying ‘Good Night’ to each other like the end of a “The Waltons” episode. It’s very wholesome.

Minor edit to move ‘Sex Meme Pit’ up a few places - it’s swapped back again from a NSFW to SFW community, and the list was only showing its growth as a SFW one. I’m guessing that the Mod is going for ‘SFW community with the more egregious posts NSFW’d out’ approach.

No post yesterday, and some communities are possibly missing from today. Lemmyverse.net wasn’t able to update - the dev has said it was due to issues with lemmy.world’s API responses.

Interesting. My source is obviously anecdotal and from another country. Is it verified that Buffalo tribes always thought this vs. being influenced by European colonisers?

(I don’t want to fall into the trap of thinking older civilizations didn’t have the same gender hang-ups as modern ones.)

I heard from an Aboriginal tour guide that in native populations everyone just did the role they wanted / were good at, and it was only from the introduction of Christian missionaries that such a division of labour was encouraged.

I bought a cheap ‘mp3 player’ from eBay when I was trying to use my phone less, but it was rubbish: no library function (just the files, listed in the order they were copied), m4a support was limited to low-complexity), Bluetooth dropped if I moved my head.

I was surprised, because there’s definitely system-on-a-chip + open-source software combinations that would make a good, cheap player. The kind of places that make them though, will always prefer to use even-cheaper components than what the final retail price would suggest.

So, because everyone uses their phone for music listening now, it’s hard to get a dumb player. They’re either rubbish, like I bought, or they’re completely at the other end of the scale (as in more expensive than a phone)

Thought that was Willem Dafoe for a second.

Oh cool. Never had a doubt of course. Off to Narnia next apparently (which means I’ll have to wait even longer for my imagined Gerwig Star Wars, unfortunately).

I like the idea that these reviewers all had the concept for a perfect Barbie movie, and are then criticising this one for not living up to it.

I think that - like most people - when I heard that Gerwig was making a movie out of Barbie, I thought: how the hell is she going to do that?

I think this is the issue - if the community itself isn’t tagged, blocking NSFW on your account doesn’t filter the posts (although they should be blurry if the posts themselves are tagged).

Fortunately, most of the untagged communities (inc. celebs) are modded by a user called Madness, so blocking him cleared up my feed.

RESULT! Thanks, works now.

Re: navigating between Subscribed, Local or All on the Alexandrite version, I’ve just realised that I also have to press “Go>” to make it change, so sorry about that.

Re: using LASIM to upload subscriptions still doesn’t do anything, unfortunately. It might be the app - I’ve never used it on anything before tbh.

new.endlesstalk.org looks very pretty, and it’s all very speedy, but - for me, on Microsoft Edge - clicking ‘Subscribed’ or ‘Local’ or ‘All’ doesn’t actually change anything.

Also, I tried to migrate my subscriptions etc with LASIM, but - for old.endlesstalk.org - it says the API isn’t there, and for endlesstalk.org and new.endlesstalk.org it uploads and says it’s worked, but nothing is there for any of the site versions.

From a brief look at their public API, it only seems to users to GET stuff, and not POST stuff yet, so that would limit the possibility of apps.

Looking forward to the “Now trundling up to Cass” anouncement

Knowing Northern, they were probably all stored on floppy disks anyway

Oh right, I tried that - I was going to put a link in my comment, not just complain - but it didn’t work, so I assumed it must be elsewhere. But now I’ve clicked on your link a few times, it shows up. Thanks.

There’s some sticky posts for this community - on the importance of initially populating a community, and providing links (I’ve no idea where ‘protest’ is hosted)
