I love you.

Just trying to do my part to help non-corporate social media grow!

[-] PlasmaDistortion@lemm.ee 40 points 11 months ago

I am not entirely convinced you’re not a bot. But you get a pass thanks to your top notch content.

you pass the Turin Test of my heart

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 16 points 11 months ago

The Shroud of Turing sounds so badass.

[-] June@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Weird that a city in Italy has a test for this, but cool.

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 24 points 11 months ago

You are the growth lol

At least one of your posts is always on the front page whenever I check, and more are always shortly after

[-] SolarNialamide@lemm.ee 15 points 11 months ago

You're like that one power user on old school forums that you would see everywhere and everyone else would know and respect them lmao

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 15 points 11 months ago

Haha, thank you for the kind words. Everyone has been so nice on Lemmy, and it really keeps me engaged.

Bro is the embodiment of the meme "Doing my part!"

[-] Sneptaur@pawb.social 9 points 11 months ago

Joined 3 weeks ago, thousands of posts and comments. Holy moly

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 6 points 11 months ago

My initial account was on lemmy.world, but since making this one on startrek.website, it has far surpassed it. I still hop between them to post whenever one or the other is acting sluggish.

[-] Sneptaur@pawb.social 2 points 11 months ago

Kudos for helping to make the fediverse great

Mad respect, I've shared so many of your memes to outerverse folks and realised most of them come from you.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 4 points 11 months ago

That's awesome to hear! I can only claim to have made a small % of the ones I post to lemmy, but I've always thought it would be cool to stumble upon one of mine circulating elsewhere one day.

[-] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 36 points 11 months ago

Just to be clear, no hate at all for the_picard_maneuver!

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I don't hate him either, but I suspect a lot of the memes come from reddit. Not that I care. The memes are dope

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 31 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I make OC for lemmy occasionally, but the majority of memes are saved from other sites.

I see it as a doing a little bit of dumpster diving so that lemmy doesn't have to.

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 15 points 11 months ago

It's appreciated. There's no way with how prolific you are that you could sustain it if it was all OC.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 9 points 11 months ago

Oh god, it would be practically full time. I'm still really slow at making memes, but I'm starting to learn the tricks.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I still don't see how what you're doing isn't full-time.

They post so fast, they appear to be in two places at the same time.

[-] MBM@lemmings.world 15 points 11 months ago

Being able to see Lemmy karma scores feels... wrong. But yes, the Picard Maneuver is a treasure

[-] SimplePhysics@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Not if it gives me that dopamine rush!

[-] AhismaMiasma@lemm.ee 15 points 11 months ago

I love u/the_picard_maneuver but I don't love that I can't just tap their posts to view the image in the browser, have to click the link and leave Lemmy to see them.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 12 points 11 months ago

You do? Hmm, that's strange... I'm uploading everything through Lemmy directly and haven't been hosting off site.

When I switch to my .world account, it doesn't appear that way to me either. Could anyone more technical take a stab at what might be happening?

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 10 points 11 months ago

The problem is something to do with startrek.website, but it only affects the default UI (Lemmy-UI). I've seen it on a large number of images uploaded on startrek.website but viewed on another instance. It doesn't seem to affect files uploaded to external websites though

[-] xthexder@l.sw0.com 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I think it's something about HTTP cross-origin headers that they've configured incorrectly. I'll have to confirm later when I'm on a desktop browser.

Edit: It's actually uBlock Origin blocking the images from loading! There's a rule in EasyList that is matching *.website (it's a lot more complicated of a rule, but that's the gist). It blocks it unless it's coming from one of a few whitelisted pages like lemmy.world.

I found a workaround mentioned here: https://lemm.ee/comment/3068996

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, that's what I suspect too.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 5 points 11 months ago

Oh interesting... Yeah, I mostly post from Liftoff or Voyager on my phone, so I wouldn't have noticed.

I wonder if the startrek.website admins are aware of the inconsistency.

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 3 points 11 months ago

I think I mentioned it to one of them, but I don't know if they know the extent or if they're just working on it

[-] Hobbes@startrek.website 6 points 11 months ago

No issues for me. Using Memmy.

[-] Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 11 months ago

Doesn't cause it on the sync app for me. All your uploads show up without a website.

[-] odium@programming.dev 5 points 11 months ago

No issues on Jerboa

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

I assumed it was something to do with lemm.ee's policy with federating images to protect against CP attacks, since everyone else who says they're having trouble is also from lemm.ee. I think what they're doing is just linking to the other instances' images directly, and maybe startrek.website doesn't like that?

I can see your lemmy.world account's posts just fine.

Clearing my Firefox cache after adding lemm.ee and startrek.website to my uBlock whitelist fixed the issue. Now I can see your wonderful posts easier!

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago

Great news!!

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 4 points 11 months ago

You can fix it by clearing your cache or by using a different client like voyager or photon

[-] AhismaMiasma@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Clearing Firefox cache after adding lemm.ee and startrek.website to ublock whitelist fixed the issue. Thanks :)

🫡 I'm trying to do my part, too.

[-] PatFussy@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

You guys are recording how many updoots you get?
