In the OP you are looking at two different /c/science communities, namely !science@lemmy.ml and !science@lemmygrad.ml. So the "same" posts you are seeing are just crossposts by the same user. On this site you can see the outgoing federation status (for lemmy.ml in this case). Hexbear is listed under "up to date", and for lemmygrad as well.
Such problems can also happen because of language settings or user blocks. So best view these post listings while logged out or in a private browser window.
Not that I know of, but I also haven't tested Piefed nor followed the development closely.
Recently there was a case where federation of Piefed Feeds was incompatible with Multi-communities in the Lemmy dev version. It would have taken me a lot of boilerplate code to make these compatible, for little or no benefit. Rimu agreed to change it on the Piefed side instead, much easier.
A few days ago I read read about some blocking or hiding feature in Piefed that is incompatible with Lemmy. That might be inevitable if Lemmy simply doesn't support that feature. In the end there will always be some degree of incompatibility on the Fediverse, because every software has very different priorities.
one sec, adding that to lemmy right now
ActivityPub compatibility has never been a problem with Piefed, and in fact we are collaborating very well in private. Of course Lemmy doesnt yet support all the features that Piefed has, but thats not their fault.
Because us developers, we are just a couple of nerds on the Internet. We didn't study public relations or politics at university, and don't know which spontaneous comment might generate a shitstorm. Unlike /u/spez we don't have a PR team writing posts for us. And because there is no profit motive, Lemmy and Piefed don't need to appeal to everyone like Reddit does. Consider it the price to pay for using a non-commercial platform.
Being a developer is difficult, because a lot of people pay attention to what you say. And any mistake can get a lot of visibility. Sometimes I wish that Lemmy was a company, with a community manager who takes care of these things. But anyway, it is how it is.
If your instance invents fake users for voting, that is very easy to spot if you view the profile and its all empty. So you need to add a profile picture, bio and some posts as well. But if the names and avatars are all similar, or the posts are obviously LLM generated, its still quite easy to spot manipulation. Or if the modlog for that user has entries for vote manipulation. On the other hand if there is only the total number of votes, there is no way at all to see if they are legit.
I think a much better option for vote privacy is what Piefed tried using "Local-only votes". So privacy-conscious users can choose that their votes are not federated, and then only the local admin can see them. This could be a simple boolean user setting, or could be more granular to allow/disallow vote federation with specific instances.
I developed the Android app for Syncthing years ago. But then I didnt have time (or motivation) for that anymore. Developing Lemmy is much more interesting for me really nowadays.
Bioshock 1 was an iconic story, first the plane crash, discovering this hidden underwater city, surviving in there and finally returning to the surface. For Bioshock Infinite the ending was totally confusing, something about parallel universes?
Message Customization: Send any custom message in Morse code.
Morse Code Decoder: Convert received Morse code into readable text.
Neat, this means you can talk to someone in morse code without having to learn morse. Did anyone try how well it works in practice?
This feature is already implemented for Lemmy and will be in version 1.0
In a recent discussion it was mentioned that the search function in Lemmy is awkward to use and could be improved. As a result I already made two small changes:
[!community@example.com](/c/community@example.com) format (#3218)
Are there any other UI or UX changes you can think of to improve searching in Lemmy? Im mainly looking for frontend changes, such as reorganizing the input positions, changing default values etc.
I am one of the Lemmy maintainers and work on the project fulltime together with Dessalines. Our work is funded by donations, but these are gradually going down and don't even cover a single dev salary now (see join-lemmy.org). That's why we added a new donation dialog in 0.19.11 which is shown once a year to every user:
Many people use Lemmy exclusively through apps, so we would greatly appreciate if you could add such a dialog to your app too. The logic is relatively simple:
/api/v3/site response, check my_user.local_user_view.local_user.last_donation_notificationhttps://join-lemmy.org/donatePOST /api/v3/user/donation_dialog_shown to hide dialog until next yeardonation_dialog_shown endpointTo test this functionality with a 0.19.11 instance, run the SQL query update local_user set last_donation_notification = '2024-04-07 09:05:06'; which shows the dialog for all local users. You can reuse the code and strings used in lemmy-ui.
Thanks for your consideration!
The next Lemmy version will add a donation dialog, which is shown once a year to every user, in order to increase the amount of donations for Lemmy development. You can see the current text in the screenshot above and in the translations repo. You can also checkout the frontend PR. Is there anything you would change about the text?
Edit: This is how the final design looks like:
No worries. I suppose such temporary federation problems happen occasionally, but you wouldn't notice if you only browse a single instance. Do you know if any of the involved instances was down or unreachable around that time? Then it would be normal that federation gets paused for a time while waiting for the instance to come online.
