I once did some office work for a tobacco company, where you were allowed to smoke at your desk. I don't smoke, but I had a few ciggies when I was there, because you realise that you've never really pointed at anything, until you've pointed at it with a cig in your hand. It's just a better way to point at stuff (I don't make the rules).

PieFed's repo is hosted by Codeberg - it's the right thing to do in many ways, but occasionally it's borderline unusable, and I get the sense that it misses out on potential contributors by not being on GitHub (projects there benefit from the network effect).

You can also copy a public Feed to make it your own, if you want to amend it.

There's some overlap between Topics and instance-wide Feeds. Hopefully, Topics can be removed one day, so instances will just have Feeds - some instance-wide (created by the admin), and some public (created by users). This will make things less confusing. Topics are currently used for new-user onboarding though. There may also be other reasons for a reluctance to remove them, I'm not sure.

If they've made a post, there's an option to ban them in the 3-dots drop-down menu. If not, you should be able to find them in the 'subscribers' tab of the community settings ('ban' is in the Actions drop-down). If they've not made a post and they're not a subscriber, then I'm not sure.

That sounds like a better idea (when you're looking for them, you realise how many people don't actually cross-post stuff "properly").

The microwave is a fundamental part of the Make Tea -> Forget About Tea -> Reheat Tea cycle.

Also, I have to put the bag in first, because otherwise I've no idea how much room I need to leave for it (which you'd think I'd be able to eyeball by now, but apparently not).

You don't need to apologise. I wasn't trying to give you a hard time (sorry if it seemed like that). The remote posts I linked to in my earlier comment have now gone (maybe I was being given a cached version before - that's a possibility I often forget about).

That's definitely a case of "think of the title first, make the movie after", but when the title is as awesome as "Noah's Shark", I really can't blame them.

How have you deleted them? They are still here and here and probably at friendica.world but that site seems bust.

There are better playgrounds if you want to mess around with Fediverse stuff.

Imgur can also handle videos with audio. The main restriction with them is that the MP4s have to be less than a minute.

I'll embed one here, which may or may not work, depending on what you're using (if it doesn't embed, the post is here)

Oh, I see, thanks. I've not heard of this 'reddit' you speak of, but I know that Mastodon has that kind of thing. Neat!
