Personally I think, it should be generally ok to rip content of Reddit, but it should happen manually rather than via a bot.

• Not everything that makes it to the top of a subreddit is quality content.
• By manually picking and choosing what to repost here, it would give more control to the users of c/Vancouver on how to mold and grow their own community instead of just replicating what's over there.

We have the chance to create something new and distinct here in its vibe. A bot might hinder that.

Hi There,

Yet another reddit refugee from Canada's West Coast. I've been in reddit for 15 years, mostly as a lurker with intermittent contributions (mostly comments in discussion threads). I used to use old.reddit, so would not have been affected (yet) by the announced API changes directly, but I am disappointed in the most recent behaviour of the admins over there and their disregard for the communities at large and the countless contributions of volunteer moderators, developers and content contributors that helped reddit to grow to what it is today.

I'm looking forward to explore Lemmy and Tildes and enjoy the reddit feel of the earlier days.

Yes, it makes me worry about future expansions of bike lanes.

Over the last decade or so the city has expanded a network of new bike lanes, making biking saver and more attractive. I'm wondering, if this roll-back and the celebration of it shoes a new trend away from new bikelanes.

It's an absolute shame they're removing the bike lane in Stanley Park. Such an unnecessary move.

Hi smorks, Thank you for lemmy.ca

I'm still a bit confused by your above comment.

To clarify:

So, if I'm logged into my lemmy.ca account and would create a post with a picture on a different instance, e.g. lemmy.ml or Lemmy.world , it would be against the rules of lemmy.ca?

And vice versa, if someone with an account on an instance that is known for banning criticism of certain governments, if they were to post such a post on lemmy.ca or lemmy.world , would still break the rules of their home instance and risk being banned there for something they've posted on a different instance that doesn't have that rule?

Does that mean, I would need a second account on a different instance that doesn't have this/these particular rules when posting such content?

Thank you 🙂

Thank you!

I've sent them an email to inquire about the purpose of these speedbumps and why there are so many of them.

This really seems to be ridiculous.

I love this tree. It's so beautiful. Seeing it from a boat at the cliffs of a coastline makes for such a gorgeous and unusual view.

Done! I've contacted them as well. At least via an online form that I had been linked to.

My heart goes out to you, your parents and all other residential school survivors. No child, no parent, no people should have had to endure such trauma.

I hope, one day families who still suffer from this generational trauma can break through the horror of their and their ancestor's experience and are able to stop their suffering and thrive instead.

You can cross post to different communities via the two double/overlapping squares that appear under the headline of your original post.

1. Create and post original post in community A
2. Go to your posting and click on the two overlapping squares under the headline of your original post. Title, text, body. will be automatically filled in.
3. Choose community B in the drop down menu you want to cross post to and publish it.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for additional cross postings to other communities.

There will be a remark and link to all cross posted posts/communities the same URL has been posted to.

Hope, this helps :)

I hate to direct traffic to them, but here is the Twitter link to what seems to be the video.

Thank you for your explanation. This makes it much clearer for me :)

On a separate note, because, I just notice this in my comment:

Are there plans by you and lemmy.world to increase synchronization?

I've noticed just typing lemmy.ca and lemmy.ml turn into an automatic link, while typing lemmy.world doesn't.

I've also noticed, the sync between these two instances (lemmy.ca and lemmy.world) is lagging or problematic when looking for communities on the other instance or trying to post from within one one instance to the other. Sometimes my lemmy.ca account doesn't let me post or comment to lemmy.world and vice versa and I have to switch accounts.

Awesome! Thank you for posting this!

I'm much more hesitant to go with my new bike anywhere and leave it than with my previous beater bike. Now I know, where I can safely leave it and use my bike more often.

No. They only mentioned a police incident. It's the centre lane that's closed, so maybe it's an accident.

Thank you so much for looking into this! You must be swamped with all of us newbies here on lemmy.ca.

If it's a general Lemmy federation issue. Do you have any guess, if the issue can be resolved at some point? (I'm aware, it might not necessarily be at the top of anybody's priority list with all the influx happening right now.)

I doubt that it's defederated because of the bot count. I ran into the issue (Lemmy.ca <-> Lemmy.world) already well before the bot invasion

The list says non-comprehensive, but with an instance as large as lemmy.world, you'd expect it to be listed, if it would be defederated. Plus Lemmy.world is still listed on linked instances.

There must be a different reason for the poor synchronization between the two instances

Edit: See comment further down. Smorks is aware of the issue and will look into it.

Vancouver Chinatown is the second (or third) oldest Chinatown in North America after San Francisco (and maybe Victoria). Beside of the Chinese community living there since generations, it is a popular tourist attraction and a unique neighbourhood its own character that you can't find in Richmond (or anywhere else in VGA) in this form.

IMO, it would be a shame to stamp out this uniqueness and replace it with the same style of glass and steel towers with the same style and look that you can find anywhere else. There are ways to build up and provide more living space, while retaining the character at street level if must be.
