  • Opinion of one of the admins regarding hexbear, just so you guys know where they stand:

    In my view, the hexbear community is actually a positive force on this platform. They are frequently abrasive, but they ultimately have the potential to contribute to what we are building here. They are extremely active and some of them are quite intelligent. But they’ve also become accustomed to a privileged position on their own walled-in platform, and they need to be reminded that their views are considered ver extreme by the average person.






  • I’m on a german instance (feddit.de) and it’s federated with db0.

    I think it’s just lemmy.world bullshit.

    Has anyone read their post about their downtime?

    “We shouldn’t close registration or limit the amount of communities because we’re not even the biggest instance in the fediverse

    Like, what?! The argument was always that they are the biggest in Lemmy! It felt like they were trying to gaslight the users.

    Same as the other arguments, like new users being weirded out if they can’t register to lemmy.world or apps using them as default. So them being down all the time doesn’t matter? Or that lemmy.ml was the biggest instance and closed down registration and new users registered to other instances without a problem?

    I’m really weirded out how hard they try to be the “main” thing on Lemmy.




  • Interesting! I tried it a bit more:

    • I had “Undetermined”, “Deutsch” and “English” selected in my profile.
    • I was able to set the comment to “Undetermined”, but then still not able to set it to “Deutsch” (back to “English”, worked though)
    • Changing the word “homie” didn’t make a difference
    • Other comments set to “Undetermined” were able to switch to “Deutsch”
    • Other comments set to “English” (that were actually written in english) were able to switch to “Deutsch”

    Seems like it’s a problem with this comment in particular, but I can’t figure out why!

    Edit: I found another comment set to “Deutsch”, written in german, that can’t be changed no matter what.
