Downvote button when downvoting is disabled by instance

Is it worth hiding the downvote button, or disabling and greying it out, when downvoting is disabled by the instance a user is logged in with?

How to subscribe to a community that isn't local?
  • Assuming you're viewing on mobile, at the top of the page, there should be a Sidebar button. Click that and it will expand the sidebar. There should now be a Subscribe button for you to subscribe to the community.

    Note that the URL should look something like <local instance url>/c/<remote channel>@<remote instance hostname>. For example, my local instance is Beehaw too and I'm trying to view AskLemmy on lemmy.ml, so it should be something like beehaw.org/c/[email protected]

  • Do you see something like this when searching in the sidebar?

  • In the search bar in the side drawer, you should be able to search for something like connect or lemmyconnect. Give it a few seconds to search and load up the search results. One this community shows up, you should be able to click it!

    The screenshot you're sharing is the raw markup of Beehaw's custom error page. I think it's getting rendered because it's a different result from what other "typical" Lemmy instance would return in an error - either a status code or a specific error string. You can swipe it down to return to the previous view I'm pretty sure.

  • This probably needs verification, so run at your own risk!

    The SQL statement to delete would be: DELETE from person where name = '...'

    person is the table of users.

    name = '...' is the condition for the row that is to be deleted.

    You can also modify the condition to, for example, delete a user using the id instead of their name (username).

    Here's a link to the "schema" of the person table as generated by the backend code.

  • Hi everyone, coming over from Apollo (aka Redditā€¦ ;). Itā€™s hilarious how Iā€™m trying to figure out how all this works by emulating nearly 10 years of Apollo. To answer to the post I swiped right on the
  • Shouting a welcome over from the Beehaw instance!

    There'll be a learning curve for sure, but I hope it'll be an enjoyable experience as you go through it! =)

  • What podcasts do you recommend?
  • Freakonomics Radio with a lot of interesting insights to things in life.

    Big Biology for any Biology nerds. A lot of interviews with researchers.

  • Must have commandline tools?
  • fzf for quickly matching file names especially deep in the directory hierarchy

    ripgrep for quickly searching for text content within files

    dtrx for handling the right extractions of different archive types

  • Feature request: switch behavior for tap and long press on comments.
  • There's an open issue on Github for this. Could see what's been talked about there and provide your input!

  • I'm really enjoying no down votes on Beehaw
  • Just chiming in to remark how hilarious and wholesome these downvote comments are! =D

  • jerboa is tiny!
  • It appears there's a PR for this in the works!

  • please be measured in what you expect of us: a non-binding appeal from one of the people running the site
  • If you have familiarity with mobile app development, might be worth looking into the mobile apps for Lemmy as well!

    Jerboa for Android

    Mlem for iOS

  • What are some communities that aren't here yet that you hope to see in the future?
  • lemmy.studio might be of interest? That instance is still growing for sure!

  • Is there a way to save a post or comment for later viewing?
  • When viewing a post, there should be a bookmark icon to the right of the upvote/downvote buttons. If you click it, it should save the post. Same for the comments.

    To view saved posts or comments, there should be the same icon in the navigation bar or the side bar.

  • This Week In Neovim Newsletter

    Just wanted to share a newsletter that a Neovim community member has been putting out weekly. Content is categorised under Core and Plugin (hopefully self-explanatory). I usually find interesting things to learn about Neovim's core and API, or plugins to explore!
