isn’t the subscriber count badge useless now since Lemmy fixed their reporting of that?

You’re not wrong but “fixed” is a subjective term in this case. Two of the largest instances, https://lemmy.world and https://sh.itjust.works, have yet to “upgrade” past 0.19.3, like many other instances that prefer not to be on the cutting-edge. Nevertheless, the linked shield.io badges may also give other information and not strictly the soon-to-be-redundant “total subscribers” badge.

Stay sick, scratch glass, turn blue, climb walls…but don’t get caught!

Ask your admin to turn it off

Thanks, I believe that’s exactly what he did.

Is turning off DRM not an option for you? It is for me. That option has been there since the DRM inclusion right there in the Preferences, no about:config baloney. Now if the option wasn’t included, I’d think I’d be more inclined to agree.

Points subtracted for presenting DRM as the unnecessarily unsavory and dramatic “kitten-meat deli.”

Here to add that, thanks to this jumping-bean bug, crossposting is difficult: once you confirm to which community to crosspost, focus is lost, the page jumps to the top and the post title and any URL are lost. Ouch!

@[email protected] (or anybody, really), if you do file a bug report, would you mind posting the Github link? Thanks!

First off, thank you for confirming. Secondly, thank you so much for offering to file the bug report, if you think it’s necessary. I still don’t have a GitHub acct! 🤷‍♂️
