Try clearing your cookies and reaccessing Lemmy.World, it should let you in. I think I saw someone post about this bug the other day.
I think federation is the future of user-created content sharing, it just was always a bit ‘early’ for me when replacing existing social media and not having my existing networks there. I think the Reddit/Lemmy mindset being around connection over interests instead of with specific people reduces that friction and the technology is mature enough for prime time (scaling issues aside).
It’s an exciting time for the internet!
The specific point for me was the attacks on @[email protected] from that dumpster fire of a website.
I had been looking at Mastodon since @[email protected] spoke so highly of it and the platform it provides for marginalised groups but personally dislike the microblogging format, and when looking for Reddit alternatives it seemed like Lemmy would be a catch all for me. Looking forward to the integration getting tighter to expand discussions across the fediverse.
Very finicky indeed! I can see all the posts there when searching “avtech” and clicking through, but the comments and upvotes aren’t showing over there. I’m sure they’ll sort it out in time, but does seem very important when a lot of communities are trying to get off the ground.
Pauper is a very cheap way to play Magic, 60 card decks with commons only. Some of the top competitive decks only run about $30, and you can build fun decks up with 10 cent cards from your LGS.
For casual play, my favourite is still Commander though. You can definitely build commander decks on a budget (one of the ones I made run me $26) and the format is a lot of fun!
Could you give this a shot with [email protected]?
I still can’t seem to get my community on other instances when searching either by URL or with the !avtech syntax
Not an easy problem to solve by any stretch, which is why I assume core functionality is the focus before doing it, but better than the multiple persona issue we have at the moment.
In my early exploration I have 1 Lemmy and 1 Mastodon account, but all my eggs are in one basket should it go offline. If I wanted to have choice of even 2 instances for each service, I’m now looking at 4 ‘handles’.
Not a fun problem to solve, but long term it’s not a great problem to have. At least if I can run my own identity server I don’t need to trust a single entity outside of me with my online identity.
I’m still figuring out how it works, but seems Mastodon doesn’t sync the history too well, and only stays in sync if at least one person on the instance is following the community. Maybe the old ones are delayed sync, or someone that was subscribed then unsubbed before another took over? It’s getting the Snoo hug of death at the moment, so I’m expecting weird behaviour!
Will be interesting to see where it lands!
I agree, I see you’re running your own instance, I’m holding off on that until something like SSO comes online for the Fediverse and I can run my own ‘identity server’ to log into whatever apps I wish.
‘Communities’ is the Lemmy term for subreddits, although I think it gets referred to as a ‘Group’ in Mastodon and a ‘Magazine’ in kbin. Early days I can tell, maybe as things get more established a unified language will emerge.
Do you think better threading in Mastodon might help? If comments showed up as threaded replies and only top level posts got their own thread, would you engage cross-platform more? The style of post is different, but I feel if they felt more in the style of the platform you are viewing from then it could lead to some interesting discussions!
I’m having the same problem with a community I started, https://lemmy.world/c/avtech
Lemmy.world can see it fine, but I can’t seem to hit it through other instances.
Tried on Beehaw and Lemmy.ml, tried by searching using [email protected] and the URL, either way is no result. I can find my [email protected] post just fine, and tried follow the link but getting 404s there too.
Being able to centralise your own identity server (with your choice of authentication method ideally) and federate the services/content would be a great option for those who want one identity across the fediverse.
New to the tech, but if that identity server could also act as your ActivityPub ‘master’ server for all services so you have a login that when entered to any instance would show all your messages and subscriptions could make for a great experience.
40% is definitely my go-to, took a while to get used to but glad I made the switch!
AV Technicians - Has the Zoom hype calmed down?
At the start of the pandemic, live-streaming and Zoom of course became the main game. As things started to settle, hybrid seemed to emerge (which came with its own unique challenges). In my part of the world I’m seeing a strong push away from that back to in-person only events, or a recording being shared post-event - are you noticing the same thing? It’s almost as if people are so tired of the years of disruption that they just want to roll it all back to how it was before.
I’ve updated the sidebar, you’re more than welcome here! I’m keen to develop a community of professionals, volunteers, those new to the industry, and anyone with a passing interest!
I’m running a 40% split at work, and I’ve noticed a massive difference in back pain at the end of a long day. Having the shoulders open and rolled back improves my posture and has made a world of difference to me.
A small quality of life thing, but some way to mark notifications as ‘read’ automatically, either when i click through to view it in the thread or when i vote on it. Maybe I’ve missed a setting somewhere, but when someone replies and I go to read/interact, the notification number stays there until I manually go and click ‘read’
Sounds like an awesome community spirit there to have a committee able to deliver events every other day, and a great variety! Zoom can be a tough one, especially when you are balancing multiple needs and facing the challenge of “But it works on my laptop!”
I don’t even know where to begin here, so much wrong with this picture
Welcome to John Cain Arena, Melbourne Australia
Thanks for checking out [email protected] !
Here’s a view from my office for the night in Melbourne, Australia
A community for AV techs and anyone interested in technical production
I’ve just started a community for anyone who works as a professional AV tech, is interested in getting into the industry, or just wants a peek behind the curtain.
AV techs work to deliver all sorts of experiences to the biggest audiences in the world, from sports broadcasting to theatre, from corporate conferences to home theatre installs.
Please swing by and contribute something if you’re in the industry - maybe share a photo from your most recent show and help us get it started!
You can join us at our home on [email protected]
Corporate presenters still can’t figure this one out
Big green to go forward a slide, little red one to go back - I didn’t think it’d need a degree to understand!
A bit more broad than r/shittyaskscience, but to tide you over there is ShittyAskLemmy
I remember Reddit being quite confusing when I started and different to most social media. It took me a while to get my head around following communities and not individuals. Federation is something quite different, but the feel is very old school reddit and I’m finding it pretty easy to learn, just with less creature comforts at the moment that I’m sure will come with time.
