Beehaw has given up on Lemmy (Or just given up in general? They aren't taking care of what they have nor have they moved to something new).

They're still on v0.18.4 despite v0.18.5 being an extremely easy and safe update with a hotfix for an issue they were specifically complaining about. Literally takes like a couple minutes to do that update but they never did it. They're also keeping themselves open to at least 1 security issue by being on such an old version.

yea but the new parallel sending feature should help them more, we'll see when it gets released

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

spreading out a bit would be nice, although there are some things that could help some of these issues anyways

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why not post to both with Lemmy's cross-post feature?

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Lol yea. Very nice that Lemmy supports old threads unlike Reddit, the forums-style "New Comments" sort is such a good alternative to the other sorting methods. It should reduce the "need" for reposts, especially combined with Lemmy's nice auto-search when making a post.

Well they don't always know ahead of time the movie will be bad, but once the movie is finished or nearly finished they can watch the movie and decide if it's worth a lot of marketing or not

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

this project seems interesting, will have to keep an eye on it

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Could lead to problems

this is why I sort by "New Comments" for the Moderator View

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago (5 children)

why advertise bad movies? just a waste of money doing marketing

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I really like the feature for All/Local/Subscribed, but maybe it's a temporary solution until we get some better method to group communities and post to a group of communities instead of posting to communities individually

I only see it posted on 3 communities, isn't that how the Lemmy cross posting feature is supposed to work? What if someone is unaware of 1 or 2 of these communities, or their instance is defederated from 1 of them?

Lemmy has post deduplication. Are you using an app that doesn't support this? I haven't seen crossposts spamming my feed before, usually it's a pretty good feature, something that Reddit doesn't have.

In fact, Lemmy's post deduplication is a little TOO aggressive https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2104

How about the anime, please!

What is the instance for?

It's a collection of communities about our projects, which happen to be mostly randomizers! And also a community for The 7th Guest series because I made a bunch of contributions to ScummVM for these games and I love them.

What communities do you have?








  • !stream_detective@lemmy.mods4ever.com
    • Stream Detective is a bot to alert when streams start on Twitch, you can have it search by game, title, and tags (we use this to alert us about new streams of people playing our mods, currently for Discord and Mastodon)

All of the above projects are open source on GitHub

  • And !stauf_mansion@lemmy.mods4ever.com
    • for discussion about The 7th Guest, The 11th Hour, The 13th Doll, The 7th Guest VR, the board game, Clandestiny, Tender Loving Care, Uncle Henry's Playhouse, and more! I have made many contributions to Groovie engine in ScummVM which powers some of these games, definitely check them out for all your old adventure game needs.

Or https://lemmy.mods4ever.com/communities

Copy the link to a community from there, and paste it into your home instance's search bar. (Note that searches won't work if you aren't logged in). For Mastodon or Kbin replace the ! with an @ sign and put it in your search bar.

Why don't you allow signups?

In order to keep my server costs reasonable, I only want this to host the communities, not the users. Hosting users adds significant demands for federating remote posts/comments, and hosting the images that users are posting. See below to make an account on a different instance and you will still be able to interact with all our communities!

How do I use Lemmy?

  • Make an account

    • Make a Lemmy account, I would suggest doing it on https://discuss.online/post/5201906

      • Any server/instance will be able to interact with our communities, and you only need one account, you can use your home instance to access content from other instances.

Where else can I follow these projects?
