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.

 

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.

I hadn't noticed that until now. Thanks!

This would be a great Kagi lens (https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/lenses.html ), perhaps for the Fediverse generally, rather than just for Lemmy. They already have one for Reddit, as well as a 'small web' one focused on small sites and non-commercial material.

Well put. Since we've co-opted this comment section with meta-commentary, I'll also say that since LLMs came on the scene, I feel as if my sixth sense for AI text slop has become very refined; I can usually identify generative text within a few sentences, and stop reading.

Wow, how does that work? Does the font selector program generate a custom font file which gets deployed on each system? How does this work with printers?

I am at risk of becoming Lemmy's resident curmudgeon with my protestations against clickbait headlines, and now a distaste for lazy and unappealing generative AI images in articles, which disincentivize reading the material. Not the poster's fault, of course.

I subscribed. Happy to support another homelab / self host community!

$11 million. Thanks, clickbait headline writer.

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).
