I can understand this. This is a server hosted by an individual who doesn’t want the potential legal headaches that may arise. Everyone is free to make another account on another instance, or create their own instance.

You can always host your own instance. Then you can choose what is blocked and what isn’t.

I can spend 17 minutes driving to work, or 1.5 hours catching buses. Easy choice for me.

What tutorial?

I hope it works! I’m so over posts just spawning into a page that is already loaded.

They said bad movie, not cinematic masterpiece.

Waterworld. It’s so terrible but at the same time I love it.

Another Australian here. Our water is safe to drink out of the tap. I drink tap water daily and have so all my life.

The Lemmy.world server is owned by the same guy that owns Mastodon.world. Nothing to do with the Lemmy devs. Just mainstream general interest servers.

I was thinking the same thing. I’ve been using the filters to go to New and Hot and other things but when someone comes to the front page they shouldn’t keep seeing the same posts for many hours or even days. I remember years ago on Reddit they altered the algorithm so that newer posts would show up more frequently on the front page and it was a massive improvement.

Still over 5K subs are dark: https://reddark.untone.uk/ It will be interesting to see how that changes over time.

More testing: Seems to happen when I sub to communities on other instances, not my home server Lemmy.world.

If it matters: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/114.0

I’m doing further testing and it keeps happening. I keep my post open in a tab and subscribe to communities in another tab and each time I do the tab with my post updates to whatever community I just subbed to.

Ok thanks!

This is helpful! Does anyone know what it means when you try to subscribe to a community and it just says “Subscribe Pending”? That has happened to me 2-3 times, and it just seems to stay like that.

Oh good, it’s not just me. Glad to hear it is being worked on.

Not exactly what you asked for, but I found one for new communities. I’ve subbed to some I found there.

I noticed that lemmy.world doesn’t have the equivalent browse.lemmy.world page. Maybe that’s something that the owner of feddit.de put in themselves?

Not quite sure, I’m only new here. The lemmy.ml list of federated instances does have feddit.de listed. And the feddit.de list of federated instances shows lemmy.ml also.
