It’s nice here, but a bit under-federated. Other @Deebsters are available.
The niche interest groups are what I miss from reddit - I’m out of the loop for several things now I don’t lurk in the respective subs any more. I think I’ll start using their RSS feeds so I don’t miss out too much.
Memes are just easy to consume and upvote, so I understand them becoming popular. I’ve got multiple duplicate accounts with different communities added/blocked so can get the memes only when I choose.
I’d rather see the second option - having a JavaScript-free solution is definitely more resilient than trying to detect and whitelist every archive service. As long as it works for wget/curl then it works for almost everyone.
Lovely stuff - and, looking at all the detail, this must have taken quite a while. Are you planning to do the full alphabet?
No, it’s just that @warboyziri@kbin.social didn’t give the full link. It’s happy and healthy at https://letterboxd.com
TL;DR: the code/servers could be changed to use SSR, but that’s more expensive to run.
Lemmy is written more as a web app than as a traditional webpage. This means that the website sends a partial page plus the code+resources needed to finish building the page and the browser builds (“renders”) the final page.
This has advantages in that the server can send less data over time, cache more of that data, and overall has to do less work, plus also makes the site feel more snappy for the user, because their browser only needs to download the data that’s changed (instead of a whole new page).
The disadvantage is that the browser needs to be more powerful, and older/simpler browsers (like IE6, some text-only browsers and some web spiders) won’t apply the extra work to finish the page off.
The normal solution is called “server-side rendering” (SSR) where the server renders the full page, sends that over, then also sends over the code+data needed to run things more dynamically (“hydrating” the static site into an app-like experience). This means the server has to do a lot of work, but is often the best of both worlds; search engines see the proper page (good for SEO) but users get to have a nice experience (once that longer initial load is complete, anyway).
You can add a title and description to images, folders, albums (what we’ve been calling folders), sub-albums, etc. You can search on those, but it’s not a structured thing like tags. I guess you could just store some JSON in there but you might need to get smart with your queries to search. Afraid I have no idea if there’s plugins, or even if what I’ve been using is a recent and/or unmodified codebase.
I think it’s more designed for photo uploads, as there’s an option to keep exif data, and it automatically makes images of different sizes (including your original, maybe massive upload).
What features are you looking for? As others have said, if you just want somewhere you can store images yourself, you don’t even need software aside from a webserver and something to upload with.
But there’s also things like user accounts, tagging, browsing/discovery, plus whatever else gfycay does/did.
Anyway, just to actually give you a suggestion, chevereto is used by a friend and it’s a lovely user experience (can’t tell you about the admin side, though). [edit: This uses folders to organise - no tagging - so it might not meet your needs, which is why I was asking]
Good. To quote WarGames:
The only winning move is not to play
Meta is at best looking to profit from the Fediverse, and more likely looking to extinguish it. I think blocking them at the borders is the only solution.

It’s both, I believe, there are apps they use directly with more powerful tools than the site gives you, and bots like automod that can enforce policy (e.g. “title must include IRTR” or “image posts must also have a comment explaining …”).
Haha, I think I just had a little rant at you there even though you were saying the same things I was saying. Bad habits… I don’t think I’ll be on reddit much now, hopefully enough people stay around to make this place quite active still.
It should be fine - it was busy enough before the blackout, and of course all the good apps will stop working soon, along with a bunch of essential tools for modding, etc.
I noticed maliciouscompliance appear here, welcome!
So many don’t understand that the mods need those tools, and don’t care about people who need the accessibility (although I suspect that argument is popular more for having the moral high ground).
[they] didn’t do anything wrong I just didn’t agree with them
And that’s why it’s disabled! That’s not what it’s meant to be for, it’s meant to be for things that don’t add to the conversation. If it’s factually wrong then fine - downvote, but don’t do it to suppress others’ opinions.
I think when you’re communicating, it’s good etiquette to make sure people can read your post easily - your five minutes could save hundreds or thousands of people time.
That said, capitalisation isn’t required, as long as it’s clear. I think line breaks are more important.
I do take it as a signal that the writer might be worth listening to if they’ve bothered to take the care to get their thoughts and fingers in order - as opposed to some stream of conscious babble that you can read multiple times and still not sure if you’ve understood it.
I used to use Swype and now I use Gboard and both do capitalisation and other handy things like double space to end a sentence - maybe check your settings.
As noted, this is an old article. You can install the plugin here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/firefox-translations/
I just tried it on https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/technologie and it’s definitely good enough to be usable, although it has translated the top story as “What the new data glasses from Apple can”. Google Translate’s version is almost the same for most of it, although it gets “can do” right.
It initially recognised that it could translate feddit.de but seems to have stopped now. Hmm.
Anyway, even though German->English is a pretty easy test given that English is a Germanic language, I’m happy to leave it installed and test it in the wild.
Bitwarden is open source (server, plugin and app) and can be self-hosted so it’s not centralised in any way that matters.
Also, I think an honest freemium offering is the best way to do it - have those that are willing/able to pay subsidise those who aren’t. It doesn’t have to be a slippery slope, and that’s not exactly common in the open-source world. After all, you can just fork it and go your own way if you’re not happy. Also, running servers isn’t free, and being able to remunerate the devs a little is no small thing.
So, in summary, use Bitwarden. You can set up your own server and install the plugin/app yourself if you want.
I’ve just installed this from your recommendation and it’s brilliant. I love the amateur graphics, it just adds to the charm.
