I'm not sure if any Sync team members read the posts on this community, but I figured I'd let you know that it's a big enough issue to me that I'm going to stop using the app until it's implemented. This is an otherwise good app, but combined scores misrepresent the overall sentiment of a post or comment and I think it has an overall negative impact on how people interact. Cheers.

I guess every post I've ever made is on a different instance than my home instance, and I'm unable to find them under my profile. How do you find posts you have made?

Have any of you guys read this book? I just finished it two nights ago and I've decided that I really enjoyed it. I'd never even heard of the book or author before. But as I finished a book on my Kindle it popped up as a recommendation and I decided to do something I've never done before, actually try one of the books. I downloaded the demo and immediately purchased the book when I finished the demo. I am pretty much finished with all of the highly recommended books for both sci-fi and fantasy, so it was a pleasant surprise to find something else that isn't on any lists.

I found the writing to be superb, and the story & pacing engaging. The side stories for character development were always relevant to future developments in the story.

I wasn't entirely sold on the magic explanation, but I was still able to enjoy the book. It is part of a series, but this one wraps up neatly, and can stand on its own as a single book.

I'm curious what other readers think of the book.

I value seeing the downvotes and upvotes separately on posts and comments. Seeing a combined score doesn't give an accurate picture of a submission. Lemmy s decision to separate these was a good one in my opinion. But Sync has combined them together again, like Reddit, which I dislike. I've checked all of the settings, but I don't see an option to separate them back out again. Does anyone know if this is possible in Sync for Lemmy?

Edit: solved!

All of the reply buttons are there for comments, but nothing for the actual post itself. Here's a screenshot:

Which app can I add words to block? Meaning if I add a word, then any post with that word in the title is blocked? Bonus points if I can block entire instances. I'm using Jerboa, but it doesn't seem to have either of those features.

There are a couple of instances that are clearly misaligned with my values, but they're very active, so a lot of the communities keep popping up in my feed. I've been blocking the communities, but it would be pretty cool if I could just block the entire instance. I know an instance can defederate from another instance. Is there a way for an individual user to do something similar, short of spinning up an entire instance myself?

Edit: I have added the share name at the end of the IP address and now I'm getting mount error(115): Operation now in progress. I haven't figured this one out yet either. My computer IP and the network drive IP are on the same network and within range. Both should be using the same gateway and DHCP.

I have tried just about every combination of parameters possible and nothing is working. It keeps spitting out a meaningless error and that error is the only thing in the log file too. I have tried a 100 different answers from across stack-overflow to no avail.

I'm running the command below:

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.50.1/ /mnt/asus -o credentials=/home/user/.smbcredentials

and regardless of how many params I have removed it keeps spitting out : mount error(22): Invalid argument Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg)

I have referred to the manpage and verified that all of the args I'm using are valid. At this point I'm kind of at a loss. Are there file system args I need to add or something?

I can see the disk with all of the sharenames when I run smbclient -L 192.168.50.1, and I can navigate to it in the file browser, but I can't mount it for some reason. I have the workgroup name set under /etc/samba/smb.conf. I have tried enabling and disabling NT1. Does anyone have any ideas as to why it might be spitting out an invalid args error even when I removed every single argument?

I originally saw this movie during a late night TV marathon for all the movies these two actors made together. I fell in love with them as an acting duo and recommended a few of their movies to multiple people. But years passed and I eventually forgot their names and the title of the movie.

Has anyone seen this movie recently? I saw it back in the 90's and I thought it was brilliant, passionate, romantic, and tragic. But I also remember it being quite crude with the dialogue and it's probably pretty sexist by today's standards.

I have always wanted to share this movie with my wife, but I couldn't remember what it was called. I have asked around before and no one knew what it was, based on my description. I just asked ChatGPT and it instantly identified it. I haven't seen it in 25 years, and I'm wondering if it holds up. Is this a good movie? Do you think it is wise to recommend to my wife that we watch this?

It is endlessly frustrating that companies have universally decided that they won't let people say "no" to stuff, ever. There are no longer options to reject stupid-ass new "features", only postponement until next time you open the app/website/program. They'll continue pestering you for the rest of your life. I realize that my frustration may be a little over-zealous, but we deal with these interfaces dozens of times per day and this is user hostile behavior. There isn't really an option to just use another service or program, since the entire technology landscape has been commandeered by a few major corporations, and they all enact the same shitty things as a group.

My block list is quickly filling up with communities that I don't have anything against, I just don't speak the language. Does such a setting already exist? If not, are there any plans to add one?
