Admins switching subs back from NSFW to SFW in c/[email protected]

Zero integrity.

Another user's name is appearing on my lemmy.ml front page in c/[email protected]

I've seen a few mentions of it around the place, so I believe it's a known issue.

Those issue trackers are the correct place to file bug reports.

YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockers in c/[email protected]

And if you don’t watch often enough for ad-free viewing to be worth a few bucks a month to you, then why get so worked up about having to sit through an ad every now and then?

There is an awkward gap where most services (not just YouTube) don't offer reasonable pricing for consuming small amounts of content. So if you consume a lot of YouTube, the subscription price is justified. If you consume very little YouTube, you can probably suffer through some ads. But if you're somewhere in the middle, there isn't a great option.

YouTube probably makes fractions of a cent off of ads on a single video it shows me, but I can't pay fractions of a cent to watch one video.

I'd consider this to actually be a pretty widespread problem across the internet, where it's frustratingly difficult to buy small amounts of content for a reasonable price. It's either the subscription or nothing for a ton of services.

Is there not a search bar within a community page? (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

Is there no quick search bar for searching just within a community from the community's page itself?

There's the magnifying glass at the top right that I can click to search all contents, and from that search page, I can select a community to search within. But that is multiple clicks, and I often can't find the community I want to search within in the drop down menus.

Is there any ability to create redundancy for an instance? (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

Small instances owned by individuals would be very vulnerable.

If the owner died (yes, morbid), then all user accounts created through that instance could easily disappear if the owner did not have a contingency plan.

Is there any set up that would allow for redundancy? Like two or three folks could all host the instance in some shared way such that if one owner disappeared, the instance wouldn't be lost?

Of course, larger instances run by organizations can have their own redundancy plans, but more wondering if there are any existing features that allow for a few random folks to share the burden without having to coordinate on access to a AWS account or something like that.

Protip: Use instance or relative links when linking to other communities on lemmy! in c/[email protected]

Are there any tools that help with this, when relative links haven't been used? Like a browser plugin that would help redirect back to one's own instance?

Or is there a way to hack the url to get to a specific post within a community through one's own instance?
