YSK there are other Pixelfed mobile clients than the flagship app (that include dark mode!)
For some reason whenever someone posts any news about Pixelfed one of the top comments is usually along the lines of “no dark mode, no use.” Boy do I have good news for those users!
Like the rest of the Fediverse, and unlike corporate media, there are multiple apps you can use! Examples:
- iOS has Impressia (fka Vernissage)
- Android has Pixeldroid
This is also useful for users who have qualms about the Pixelfed dev’s more… distasteful? behavior (example I found today) and don’t rock with rewarding it, kind of like how a lot of Lemmy users might block or defederate the flagship .ml instance.

It's a proprietary, long-range, low-latency wireless protocol. I won't be adopting it even though I have a bunch of Unifi equipment, but it's interesting to see what protocols are springing up.

Ex Reddit moderators and the API debacle
Having just experienced my first comment removals without any sort of notification or explanation, I was suddenly reminded of how things went down on Reddit during the API thing and people's attitude towards it.
Do you know why the API thing failed to cause a mass exodus? Because the moderators were spearheading it. The same people that have been doing things like setting up automod with buzzwords because they're too busy collecting subs to control to actually do their jobs, and silently removing non rule breaking comments without notification or explanation, and being cold unfriendly dickheads whenever you questioned them; suddenly these assholes were asking us to all join them in solidarity and feel sorry for them over their lost modding tools in 3rd party apps. In fact they did a fantastic job of making it all about themselves without giving many good reasons for the end user.
And it made me realise that a good majority of these moderators that spent years on Reddit campaigning for less transparency and helping to turn it into the shit hole it is now, are probably here on Lemmy.
I don't know where exactly I'm going with this other than to say that I'm seeing things here with new eyes now. Just wanted to get these fun facts off my chest and remind everyone about who we're actually dealing with here.

Dupliverts in 4.3?
I'm trying to do something similar to this old tutorial (https://www.halfgaar.net/modelling-a-jet-engine), but the Prelude to modelling bit does something called dupliverts, which appears to be no longer part of Blender 4.3.
I tried an array (and applied it) but that gives me the blades as one object. How do I do this with the blades being separate objects?
