Some old granny meanwhile:

What did I do? I don't remember...

You aren't fighting the trolls - you are struggling against yourself.

Someone who helps bring out the best in you is by definition not a troll, but conversely someone who brings out the worst probably is.

Watch Innuendo Studios The Alt-Right Playbook series. You will be glad that you did. It applies to tankies as well since they use identical argumentation styles. Trolls are not merely the other side, they aren't even playing at the same game as you, which is why you will be eaten alive unless you understand what's what. Like you are trying to "convince", they aren't. You use facts and references, which you actually bother reading, while they use pithy sayings. Their end goal is for you and everyone you've ever met to be killed, as Western culture ends, so that the more "pure" communism can come in - such as obviously exemplified by the likes of Russia, China, and North Korea.

They aren't trying to "convince" you - they are seeking easy prey, and trying to bully you into shutting up so that they can find others. Seriously, watch that video series if you truly want to understand. It's long, but very worthwhile.

True dat.

Gotcha, yeah that looks to be something with how your instance has not set up communities properly yet. Bc if instead of searching there you click All communities and search there, it works. Hopefully as Rimu mentioned the newest upcoming update may fix all that!:-)

I see no video playback either way. TIL that YouTube apparently now offers "posts" without any videos in them? The PieFed link is definitely wrong in that case as it tries to connect to and play something that is not there.

Community searching for either Meta or PieFed on nord.pub works for me, using the standard web UI. You may want to provide additional details such as your method of access, and if some third-party app then check the community for it to see if this is a known issue (use a browser community search in the meantime since that is definitely working there even if in your app it is not).

Oh I did not even consider that the artist herself may have been intended there - I was looking at the "So I stared" in the first sentence of the last stanza, just after the "witch's face" in the prior sentence, so was considering what a witch looking into such a portal would see.

But of course like a dream, perhaps every subject in a poem is some manner of reflection upon the writer, so "she" herself sees beauty there? (Though hopefully more real, as opposed to e.g. the witch looking)

From what I can see, that is not a back-end restructuring but as far as a new architectural design it will purely affect the front-end UI. Which will begin to look somewhat more similar to PieFed, yet without coming anywhere close to what PieFed offers today, as opposed to what PieFed offered like a year ago. e.g. there will be no ability to hold polls (or to share those custom-built feeds?).

More relevant is that Lemmy 1.0 may take a year or so to become fully deployed across the Threadiverse, if past experience is any judge. The devs say to explicitly expect major breaking bugs and perhaps to avoid deployment in prod as a result. And ofc apps are going to need to catch up as well. This one being a breaking change may lead most older apps unable to connect to an instance that uses the newer software (unless I am misreading that part about the older backwards compatible API).

Lemmy.world in particular, which holds ~50% of Threadiverse users and >90% of the most highly-active communities (unfortunately for the aim of decentralization) is well-known for delaying deployment until the Lemmy code fixes such issues.

So a year from now Lemmy will begin to catch up to some of what PieFed had almost a year ago in the past already, and meanwhile I expect PieFed will not itself be standing still all that time... I am glad to see that Lemmy is still being actively worked on, truly I am, but also I find it hard to actually be excited about that pace, by comparison. Then again, any movement forward still counts, and improves the Fediverse as a whole, so by however much, it is still a good thing! :-)

PieFed is running circles around Lemmy, even with the highly irresponsible code vulnerability disclosures awhile back.

As you know better than I, Friendica struggles mightily with scalability, Mastodon is slow to add new features especially those asked for many years, and Lemmy and Mbin are likewise exceedingly slow, whereas PieFed adds new MAJOR features quarterly even.

My hopes for the future of the entire Threadiverse lies with PieFed.

Where, I don't see it? 😹

Possibly they were only posting the job at all due to HR regulations but in reality it was already spoken for.

The current job market is... not ideal, many people say.

There are so many fascinating differences in how your comment reply here shows vs. not.

Like on all of https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/70448923 and https://lemmy.world/post/48069327 and even https://piefed.zip/comment/5630582 your most recent comments here do not show up at all, despite it having been sent 2 hours ago. Though somehow your earlier comments are visible, but not your latest ones?

And yet I see them on my instance. I am not sure why, or if your tagging my username specifically helped cause that to happen for this instance but somehow no other instances.

The formatting if I ask to "view markdown source" is messed up - everything is on a single line, and some formatting indicators are missing - but the traditional, regular display mode of the message is perfect.

Interrelation between the different platforms still needs improvements, but it is encouraging to see it get better over time.:-)

well grammar.

(j/k, and in that case should I have said grammer mayhaps? :-P)
