No part of my comment suggests otherwise.

With that absolutely pathetic follower count I'm not too surprised it's still going under the radar.

Compared to curators that people actually care about, that's a fraction of a fraction.

@Stamets@lemmy.world

Sopuli is having a federation issue, where outgoing data is failing to federate. You can post to the communities there, but content is failing to federate to other instances out from sopuli, meaning almost no-one is getting to see sopuli-related posts and comments. (Only sopuli and whatever instance the content originates at, few others)

This post currently has triple the votes over on sopuli, and a comment by me from my sopuli account, all of which aren't syncing back to lemmy.world

It really depends. Handle and usernames aren't even the same thing anymore, and especially on pixiv, I've noticed artists changing the display name on a regular basis, even though pixiv doesn't even have handles to fall back on if a user gets confused.

The script primarily pulls the artist name from either saucenao or pixiv, and either translates or romanises it. It's nice to see something pronounceable, because unless you can read the moon runes, there is no real way to commit the artists name to memory. So while the original string is more searchable, it almost completely loses recognizability on a platform with english-speaking users.

I actually want people to find these artists, seeing multiple works and realizing you like something a certain person makes, is what eventually gets people to look them up, I feel.

But, I could improve the script further by having it include the pixiv artist ID and twitter handle in cleartext when those sources are available, etc.

Haha, no, the artist goes by "Hand", though the WIP script I'm using to post, translated that from japanese and inserted it into the artist field of the title string.

You'd think, but the amount of people who "save" pictures on their phones by taking a screenshot that they then don't ever crop, is disturbing.

[-] MentalEdge@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago

No. Faith isn't a virtue. People voluntarily deluding themselves, is offensive.

Sure, most people had this passed down to them, but there is no part of religion worthy of respect.

To believe in something which is not real, however seemingly innocuous, disconnects how a person makes decisions from the truth. When a person lives their life that way, they will cause unnecessary harm to themselves and others

Some instances are running on better servers than others, have staff that fix issues quicker and attend to updates sooner.

For example, .world is still on v18 while the rest of the threadiverse has mostly moved on to v19.

Some instances defederate certain other instances, so in some cases you might end up finding that a community you subbed to gets disappeared by the admins of your instance (lemmy.ml did this to ani.social a while back). Whether there are valid reasons goes case by case, sopuli.xyz for example blocks instances that are for porn, and I like it that way.

Though outward federation is a bit borked on there atm, so I'm using my alts...

But really, it doesn't matter that much. If the grass looks greener, you can hop over the fence and see for yourself, and then hop right back if it turns out it wasn't.

Pretty sure its still a web app under the hood.

A web app doesn't magically turn into a native app when you put it on the app store. The way it gets installed, and the system access is different, and better for stuff like notifications...

But the word "native" refers to applications made using the native SDK, which in Apple's case is Swift. I'd be extremely impressed if the devs re-wrote the entire app in new code. But that would be unnecessary.

You can have non-native apps on the app store. A lot of your apps probably aren't native. SDKs like flutter, used by liftoff and thunder, make development much easier in exchange for the resulting application running a bit less efficiently. Flutter applications can also run on both Android and iOS, and even desktop, with little additional work.

More likely that the autopilot kicks in, locks the doors, and drives into a lake.

Yes, it works with kbin mags too, from lemmy.

Kbin would have to be updated, too, to be able to do the same thing.
