Seems like a lot of layers on part of the body that doesn't typically need it (skirt + tights + socks feels like a good way to overheat).

A journey on Northern Rail won't actually kill you, but it might make you consider if death would've been a more preferable experience.

I noticed that a new community - [email protected] by @[email protected] - has been launched, so maybe there's been an increase that at least one other person has noticed.

Hmmm, no sorry. Can't replicate this prob. Although it does indeed sound more like a colour problem than a vote registration problem.

Hello. preferred.social doesn't have the usual sign-up process. I never bothered setting up a email server, and the idea was that you would just need to choose a name, enter the invite code, and choose a password, and that's it.

Accounts were automatically verified after that process, but I didn't realise that they would be set back to 'unverified' if you used Account -> Edit profile to change the email address from [email protected] to something real (as it looks like you've done). Sorry about that.

I've set your account back to 'verified', so you should just be able to log in and use it as normal.

Is the Friday post this one: https://moist.catsweat.com/m/[email protected]/t/966093/Devils-Panties-03-14-2025 ?

Looking at that on MBIN, the voting activity is zero, unlike the other comics. I also couldn't find it at https://lemmy.world/c/comicstrips. This suggests that MBIN didn't federate it out properly, so it never got to LW, and it was never Announced for any followers (including those on piefed.social).

You'd have to ask MBIN what happened there, but a trick you can do in the meantime is to edit that post (it doesn't have to be real edit), and that will trigger MBIN to try federating it out again.

It's not related to the threshold settings for replies (you're right - that doesn't affect posts).

I think that's what he meant, yeah (no existing DB migration scripts, etc). I don't know much about it, but I imagine it was probably always going to involve someone more familiar with Lemmy diving into the trenches.

Probably not. It's fairly rare for those sorts of API endpoints to be covered by mobile apps.

TV shows and movies are already compressed. If you try to compress something that's already compressed, it typically ends up bigger if anything.

He's mentioned this before, but I've never been able to find an actual PixelFed Group (it doesn't appear to be the same thing as what they call Collections). I'll have another look when pixelfed.social enables them this weekend (but I suspect parsing titles for the posts will be a nightmare).

Also, 'smithereen' is tagged but I'm not sure of its status (all I found was 1 private instance run by the dev, federated with 1 "explicitly-free-speech" Akkoma instance).

Clarkson has been trying to warn us for years, and we haven't been listening. He punched a producer when his dinner wasn't on time, to highlight the impending delays to food deliveries after Brexit. He left the BBC to work for Amazon, presenting a show that was a shadow of it's former self, to illustrate how billionaires diminish everything they touch.

He couldn't be clearer with his messaging, but the UK continues to ignore him.

Rimu has now added the option to ban users via the drop-down menu next to their comment.

It's maybe not a good idea to make it too easy to ban people who haven't created any content, as it's the kind of thing that often causes a lot of boring fedi-drama. Though I realise that there still might be other reasons why mods might want to search through the subscriber list.
