A king till the very end. A hero who went out with a blast. In a word: based.

Well at least you didn't make an account on lemmy.world and are instead enjoying the beauty of federation. Yeah, you get a pass.

If I'm actively subscribed do I still get the content [...]?

No, the whole point of defed is that your home instance stops "listening" to the updates of the defederated instance. So you'd stop getting updates from any community hosted on @sh.itjust.works period.

This. Defed is not the magic weapon that will solve all your problems. Captcha and email filters should be on by default though.

My team and I are planning to start working on an AutoMod bot in the near future. It's going to be built with our custom instance in mind, but the code will he open source for everyone to use.

1. I'd say the suggested practice is going with smaller instances (i.e. anything that isn't lemmy.ml or even worse lemmy.world). But sure, if you want to spin up a custom instance that would be even better. You'd have the advantage of being able to customize your experience a lot more (changing themes, editing the code to fix stuff you don't like, managing your own emojis...)

2. I'd say around 10€ a month. My instance pays around that (maybe a little more, can't remember) and we have over 100 users. It's really not that expensive.

3. You become a mega janny. You have to draft server wide rules, appoint mods and make sure they don't screw up by letting banned content through. Depending on your country's laws and where your instance is hosted, you might risk hosting illegal stuff for which you as an admin would be liable.

Others have already replied to 4. and 5. so I'm not going to make this wall of text any longer.

LMAO this game is amazing. I got to rule 25 with this bad boy

but fucking Paul starved as I was converting all the vowels to bold. If anyone's wondering why there's a link in there, rule 24 required you to put the URL of a YT video with a duration of exactly 11 minutes and four seconds. Will probably be different for you, if you try it.

Regular firefox with enhanced protection on by default + ublock origin does most of the work for me. Personally I also like to add a user agent switcher on top of it. Oh and the Facebook container extension, that one is a must.

Ansible guide. I didn't follow this one myself but the guy who set up my instance said it was pretty easy

...or join a smaller instance.

Not sure if there's any lore behind it but I've also seen this. The beehaw admins seem to have an habit of making problems go away by pressing the magic button.

Fun fact: while not being exactly like what karma was on Reddit, Lemmy does store the total count of upvotes-downvotes your account has received. You probably can't see it because it isn't shown by the frontend (the website you see), but the data is indeed there.

Hey. Let me start off by saying that this script is great and I'm really thankful for it. There's still some room for improvement but it makes the experience much much more enjoyable.

So, I'm working on modding the lemmy-ui source code to work on a modded Lemmy instance I'm building with some friends. I've only been working on it for a couple days so I'm quite ignorant myself, but I have a few ideas about your project.

So, I don't think this could be a theme because it does something fundamentally different. A theme is simply a set of colours, fonts and other customization options that describe how Bootstrap should make the content that's already defined look like. Example, this is what a theme's code looks like.

What you are doing instead, is replacing the Bootstrap code itself, which is beyond a theme's scope. You are touching the page's code.
As far as I know, Lemmy has no way of toggling a feature like this on a user level so user scripts might be your best bet for the time being. However, I like the design so much (and on my instance we are all Reddit refugees anyway) that I'm considering making it the official layout of my instance. I'd still need to figure out how that would work in the details, but I think it could be done without excessive trouble.

As a sidenote, reading your code I saw you used the browser's user agent to check for mobile users. I'd avoid doing that because users can actually modify their user agent if they want to, and some people who really care about their privacy have extensions that do so automatically. Instead you could try using media queries and the window.matchMedia() function (not sure if it's suported in user scripts as I'm quite the noob in that field, but that's how I'd do it in a web page).

Why be boring when you can be an extremist instead?

I am working on it! My team and I are working on this issue as we speak (I literally tabbed out of VS Code to answer this) and we plan to roll them out to our modded instance in a matter of days, it's our top priority.

Extending support for this feature to the wider lemmy codebase is not paramount to our roadmap, but we will certainly make a pull request once we are done. If the lemmy devs will like our implementation and decide to adopt it we will definitely be very glad to help them doing so.

EDIT, 10 days after: only now I see that the links was about post flairs, not user flairs. To clarify, I am working on user flair, no idea if and who is working on post flairs.

Same lol. I managed to break both my community as well as the entire instance by messing with those settings. The UI could be a bit more user friendly on that imo.

Right now the language selector has become the part of the admin UI that no one on my team is allowed to touch, under death threath, lmao.

I'm here from all, sorting by hot. Please, proceed to shit.

Also this kinds of bets don't really work on Lemmy unless you linit yourself to local, which is a lame thing to do.

Oh I wasn't aware of this. Very tempting. Now I lowkey wish they miss the deadline on one of the six accounts I requested the data for, so I can do some European style trolling.

What a nice, rule abiding meme! I think I'm going to upvote it.

Also @OP, remember that you can edit titles.

New party game: try to sing along the song while searching words on the compass as they come up.
