Oh, lovely. I had no idea this existed, but I'll try it out. Many thanks!

I am so tired of infantilizing headlines and the proverbial "YouTube thumbnail face".

It's hard to see what's going on here, but you might try using an irrigation tool called a riser or nipple extractor -- it's designed for removing broken plastic risers outdoors, but might work if you can insert it far enough (it's difficult to tell from your photo if the material in the center is a liquid or a solid). Have a look at https://www.homedepot.com/p/Orbit-1-2-in-and-3-4-in-Plastic-Nipple-Extractor-26076/100203404

A few ways I've found communities that interest me:

  • Community promotion communities such as https://lemmy.ca/c/communitypromo provide pointers to topics of interest.

  • A good Lemmy client goes a long way toward facilitating content discovery; I'm a Voyager user, and it supports sorting Home (subscribed) and All (unsubscribed) post feeds in various ways including New, Active, Scaled, Controversial, etc.

  • When I was new to Lemmy, I used Voyager's subreddit migration tool to match communities with my interests (see https://vger.app/settings/reddit-migrate ) -- I believe Artic and a number of other clients have similar functionality.

  • Just browsing the All feed has helped me find communities (and compile a list of things to block!)

Tailscale is also ridiculously easy to use for this purpose. The serve and Funnel features make secure self hosting really easy from your tailnet (one can easily provision certificates for nodes using Let's Encrypt from the CLI: https://tailscale.com/blog/reintroducing-serve-funnel

Your point is well taken. However, there are communities where some of the bot posted content is just interesting enough to read, and I'm not sure that the owners of the rss@ or b0t@ accounts care much about their upvote / downvote ratios, but I suppose it could help some of Voyager's sorting filters.

Is that an Android client specific option? I don't see that item in Voyager 2.28 on iOS, but perhaps I haven't had enough coffee.

Feature request: Reddit repost content filter (sh.itjust.works)
 

In quite a few of the communities I subscribe to, a portion of the content is provided by bots reposting items from corresponding subreddits. This is often useful, but it'd be helpful to have a filter that would show only "native" Lemmy posts, since these tend to attract more dialog.

Perhaps this could be done by looking for the presence of Reddit URLs in the post text, and/or by triggering on common strings such as "rss" or "bot" in the username.

Thanks for building such a great app.

As others have said, one's view of Lemmy is highly dependent upon the instances and communities that one frequents. As someone who isn't a habitué of politics, news, sport or meme communities, I've found my fellow lemmings to be pleasant, but I also believe that that is due to trying to be helpful and polite myself and being willing to apologize when warranted.

Disappearing message notification / message app freeze (sh.itjust.works)
 

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/33588339

I received a text notification from an unknown number earlier today. I'm usually suspicious of such things, but clicked the notification. The messages app loaded, but displayed a blank white screen until I closed the app. After doing so, there was no evidence of the message notification or the message itself, in any of the message categories (known, unknown, all, deleted messages, etc).

This is on an iPhone 14 Pro Max using a fully up to date device running iOS 18.3.1 .

Has anyone else experienced this? I am hoping that the group might be able to offer insight into whether this is a bug worth reporting to Apple, or an attack of some sort? I am aware that at least one zero-click messaging bug was recently patched in iOS. I rebooted my device, and I'm waiting for the security delay to expire so I can reset my iCloud password. I have 2FA and stolen device protection switched on.

(please disregard link to example.com ; my Lemmy client wouldn't allow a text-only post without an image or a link).
