Yeah April fools day has much darker history and connotations than most people realize.

Just wanted to share for people who moderate communities that Tesseract lets you see who voted on a post or comment. This means that as moderators you finally have the ability to take action against users who downvote every post in your community or who vote with multiple accounts, or similar situations.

This might not be a new thing but it's something no one is talking about and I just wanted to let you all know its a thing.

It works on this instance: https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/

Or at the main Tesseract Frontent: https://tesseract.dubvee.org/

I've been playing Journey recently and was inspired to make this meme.

I've been playing Journey recently and was inspired to make this meme.

Reported less than five of this dipshit's posts and he ended up banning me from all of his communities. Doesn't really surprise me. I've known that reports on Lemmy are faulty and Admin only reports, or more control of who receives them has been suggested but Lemmy's devs never listen.

My advice is to just send messages directly to your Admins as well as his admins, then he can't intercept them.

Really thought the old one was much cooler, does anyone else agree?

I mean it is what it is ultimately but I always thought the older one looked much cooler. While the new one looks very flat and plain.

What do you guys think though?

New:

Recently noticed a resurfacing of the image bug that happened back when 0.19.6 was released where random posts with image links wouldn't be detected as the images they are.

I've noticed it happening for several posts on the instance, here's a few:

• ~~https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/33634525~~ (Works now)
• https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/33642831
• https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/33626225

I'm making this post here though and not in the Github issue since it seems to be affecting only this current instance. I checked and it doesn't seem like lemmy.ml is affected at all. So in all likelihood it's probably limited to dbzer0. If anyone else notices this elsewhere pleas feel free to chime in and provide post links (dbzer0 copy, the origins don't help us since this is a dbzer0 issue).

This behavior is very concerning, especially since it's not a one-off, their other replies on that account aren't much better.

Recently I decided to create a community for Kodi addons since there isn't an equivalent to the Reddit version. This community is for discussion and sharing of any Kodi addons but it's mostly about streaming addons. If you have an interest in Kodi addons, or piracy on Kodi in general I recommend subscribing to the linked community, and if you have anything about Kodi addons you want to ask, or any addons in particular you'd like to share I encourage you to post there.

I’ve had the ActivityPub plugin active on this blog for a while now and it’s been happily federating to mastodon for just as long. However it never worked on lemmy, and I always assumed it was just not set for it and was primarily focused on microblogging since lemmy was not even mentioned in the supported software.

This was until one of the lemmy developers contacted me, having been informed by a member of our lemmy instance that dbzer0.com was not properly configured for lemmy. I was perplexed of course because I didn’t really do any customization on the wordpress plugin whatsoever. I just used whatever defaults it came with.

Through some back and forth between the developers and me, I eventually started experimenting with the plugin settings, trying to see if any of them would make it behave in a way that lemmy could understand, until one of the options finally did the trick.

As a result, this WordPress blog is now happily existing as a lemmy community !dbzer0.com@dbzer0.com

’tis a bit of a silly community name, but it works.

Unfortunately the previous posts on this blog are not retrieved automatically, so you won’t be able to see them or their comments in the community, but one can search for a blog url in lemmy and it will discover it and open it for comments. Any comments posted there should also appear as comments under the posts here which is pretty neat!

Example

So if you’re on lemmy or piefed, just visit its community from your own instance and subscribe to it, and new blogposts will appear directly in your lemmy feed. I love apub!

Many thanks to both pferfferle (the apub plugin developer) and the lemmy developers who looked into this!

leave a comment (from lemmy?) to let me know what you think.
