Is there any way to get ad free without a subscription? I was happy to buy a paid version of the app before, but an ongoing subscription isn’t really what I want.

Edit: it is not advertised as much as Ultra, but there is a one off payment option to remove ads, in the sidebar. Which I purchased!

Anything that references prosecco. See: “Come in if you have Prosecco” doormats.

I wasn’t expecting to, but the official reddit app was worse than I expected, you can’t sort by ‘hot’ anymore so it is literally not as interesting to look at. I haven’t used it since the switch over and I don’t miss it.

This isn’t a meme

It’s gonna be heavily moderated and anything negative will be removed, probably.

Depends on the city. In my city, you could walk across the whole thing in maybe an hour, and anything major the furthest you would have to walk is about 30 minutes.

Here it looks like the link is added when you make the comment, and the it is added directly to the formatting. I’m guessing you’re using an app or some other client to access Lemmy? On reddit, it just recognises the “/r/” and places the link on the front end.

Is registration for new users still open? I applied for a new account some time ago.

Is it possible to make Lemmy (the system as a whole) able to be compatible with horizontally scaling instances? I don’t see why an instance has to be confined to one server, and this would allow for very large instances that can scale to meet demand.

Edit: just seen your other comment https://lemmy.ml/comment/453391

Are you a Lemmy dev or just vocal here and on github?

Downvoting is just used as a disagree button, not for its original purpose of promoting discourse and hiding comments that don’t add to the conversation.

Any comments that add to the conversation get upvotes. Any that don’t, can be reported and removed. I prefer it that way.

I’m sure you know this, but getting progressively larger servers is not the only way, why not scale horizontally?

I say this as someone with next to no idea how Lemmy works.

As @RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ml says, create a distributed index of usernames, and do not allow the same username to be registered twice.

I’d also propose at the same time to create a Discord style username system to avoid potential clashes - if this system is going to become large (mainstream) then eventually available usernames will be hard to choose from.

Mmm, dessert island… drools

As a planner, the solution to traffic issues is 15 minute cities. It’s not “leftist”, it doesn’t impinge on anybody’s “rights”, it just makes everyone’s lives simpler, cheaper and healthier. This is an idealistic view, however.

Nice to see you here. Nice work on Jellyfin, it’s a breath of fresh air compared to Plex.

In this case, Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi. I was trying to set up a script that would connect to a network storage device automatically. There’s not a simple way to do it, you have to go about it in a hacky way.

Basically me whenever I try to use Linux on a permanent basis. What’s that, you want to run a program at boot? You’ll have to do it all in CLI and there’s a pretty high chance you’ll brick the OS. Oh, and don’t make any spelling mistakes!

Using a good programming language does not guarantee a good product. You have to give credit where it’s due.

I agree. I made a post earlier to promote discussion, and it was downvoted more than I expected because people did not agree with the question I guess?

I would still argue that if a post or comment provides useful discourse, it should be upvoted or at the very least, not downvoted.
