[Feature request] Blur level (lemmy.world)
 

For NSFW images, in card mode where images are shown in full size, the default level of blur allows others to see the essence of the image. It would be nice to be able to increase the level of blur further. Perhaps three levels would be good.

Lemmy instances that are focused on mirroring Reddit content? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] tpWinthropeIII@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Checking out !main@soccer.forum I saw very few posts by bots. Mainly saw posts by you. I saw one post coming from alien.top .

What's interesting is that only posts by bots have any comments. So maybe this could be a good way to get communities started.

Therefore, if it's okay with the admins at the following community, I'd nominate !tennis@lemmy.world

There's almost nothing happening there.

Did you check with the admins on lemmy first or are you bot posting without permission?

Let's say I have a favorite sport and there exists a sub_ named: r/.

Let's also say there already exits a Lemmy community and that community is struggling to get off the ground: !@lemmy.world

I can see a value add if your project directly helps !@lemmy.world get started; but I don't see how it does. If anything wouldn't your project compete with !@lemmy.world and therefore hinder it?

It might be different if your project directly tied r/ to !@lemmy.world but it doesn't.

If downvotes are the issue, beehaw.org doesn't allow downvotes. Those folks are automatically eliminated from that. You can then just ignore the comments you don't like and it's all good. 👍

Testing feedback: There appears to be a missing feature. When a post includes a gallery of images, no thumbs or images are shown as a preview. Only an empty gray box is displayed.

Instance / Server evaporation (lemmy.world)
 

In the Fediverse, what is the solution to instances or servers going missing?

To elaborate: The problem with commercial aggregators like Reddit, Twitter/X, Facebook, etc. is enshitification, for one reason or another. Of course, Lemmy, etc. on the Fediverse is the alternative solution, seemingly. But let's say that the hardware for a large Lemmy instance just disappears. What happens to all of the posts? Yes, old posts will still be available for a while on other instances. But, seemingly, there won't be any more updates. How is this addressed?

Moderators would of course be interested in continuing but they may not have the skills and resources to set up the hardware.

Instances/servers can disappear for many reasons: retirement, illness, confiscation, war, bungee jumping or parachuting accident, ... the list goes on.
