Unfortunate cropping of a phone notification
(sh.itjust.works)
Sorry for a photo of a phone screen. I had trouble screen capturing the notification shade.
Thank you. I'm going to try again now.
I'm using sync on Android and I don't believe that I can change the setting there. I can change the setting for whether I filter bot accounts, and so that confused me for a bit about whether I was misinterpreting that setting.
I did find the setting in a web browser on my home instance. And I thought I corrected it, and I thought I saved my change. Updates and screenshots to follow momentarily.
Is this a setting that defaults to bot‽
When I search for this setting in Sync it shows up.
But when I click on it it goes to a page that does not offer the setting either at the top level or buried inside of anything else.
When I go to look for this setting again in my home instance, I find that it is in fact now correctly set. It was not correctly set when I posted. So my fix stuck.
I assume, as someone else suggested, that there's some caching going on somewhere, either on the transmitting end or the receiving end.
That's fair: as far as Lemmy knows it was posted by a self-declared bot, even if that puppet later became a real boy.
