Recreating this from a local account to see if it works better regarding pinning

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seeing you post from an account without a profile picture feels profoundly weird.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

I really just use it to mod this community, it's not in my usual accounts rotation

[–] glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

A few of these point to lemm.ee, do you want to update those?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago (4 children)

I just did, didn't it federate on your end?

For the one that I didn't, it's because they haven't decided yet (!esp@lemm.ee)

[–] Tekktical@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hi, im completely new, but would like to make this my go to social media.

Some of the communities you posted ended up empty for me. Is there anything I can do to change that? Besides posting in it ofc. I meant if I did something wrong.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

Hello,

Could you please check your language settings following that link? !languagesettings@lemmy.zip

If you can't see any posts there, have a look this way: https://lemmy.zip/c/languagesettings

[–] Madbrad200@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which ones? All of these should have some content.

If a community has never been accessed by a user from your instance before (lemmy.wtf), they may appear empty to start with.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

This is probably a language issue, especially as this comment is tagged as Nederlands

[–] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Would !metaldetecting@lemmy.world count for manual hobbies section?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can definitely make a post about it on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca

[–] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Already did, and found out about c/communitypromo thanks to your post plugging it.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Oh great!

[–] dawnslayer@kbin.earth 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What on earth is going on in !aww? 💀

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 2 points 1 year ago

Spam. It is fixed.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago
