Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Oh damn, that's us!!
We'd wondered where the nearly 1.9k subscribers came from completely out of nowhere!
So, yeah, a lot of people are hating on us for creating one of Kbin and one on Lemmy, but we had our reasons: Basically, neither handled images very well and we saw that these two services did basically the same thing and that typically leads to the weaker project getting cancelled down the line, so we decided our safest bet was just to make one of each, just in case it all ended in bad blood, de-federation, and a total loss of data. Better safe than sorry.
We might consolidate them later, but for now just pick whichever you like best. :)
Just want to say, "it's been swell, but the swelling's gone down" is a fantastic turn of phrase that I will be stealing
I stole it from Tank Girl first, but I don't think she'd mind.
LoL, that's really great! 🤣🤣🤣
You can always use these to upload image
On lemmy you can use this code to display image
It wasn't the way images uploaded, it was more that kbin's image previews absolutely skullfucked the aspect ratio of anything that wasn't roughly in a 3:4 aspect ratio, making a bunch of deeply touching photos look like goofy funhouse mirrors.
We were like, "Shit.... Is.... Is this on purpose? Are the people behind kbin some kind of weirdos who believe in 3:4 aspect ratio supremacy??" so we thought, "Eh..... Maybe we'd better make a Lemmy too, in case kbin doesn't figure their shit out".
Because, honestly? Our faith in humanity was at an all-time low and we were running out of time before people began leaving reddit for new platforms. Throw everything against the wall and see what sticks, right?
I can only suggest to use mobile app. So far I don't see any problem with image handling on mobile app. On desktop and mobile browser you might want to use voyager https://vger.app
It isn't personal preference, I'm trying to do what's best for my community, mobile and desktop users alike.
O yeah. On desktop. I do suggest vger(wefwef)
Are you going to merge/consolidate the topics/posts from each of the two servers with each other, or just keep two sets of posts/topics, one on each server?
We feel it's still too soon to make that choice but it's a possibility in the future.
The good thing is that on lemmy it looks like you can delete communities.
We probably wouldn't delete it, just leave a link at the top explaining we've migrated and lock it so it isn't accepting new posts.
I wouldn't want someone who submitted a treasured photo and got a bunch of positive feedback to lose it forever in the name of ruthless efficiency.
Just saying it’s an option that um, other sites don’t have.
Yeah that's a good option that I WISH Reddit had... had. But only for the creator maybe?
By the way I'm commenting this on the mlmym thing you made!
Well I didn’t make that, I found it. Reddit used to have a bunch of these too. Anyway I saw someone ask the admin of the server to incorporate it and make it available if you went to old.Lemmy.world. He said maybe. @ruud please?
To add to that, there was a bit of a time limit in which we had reason to believe we needed to secure the name so that it wouldn't be taken by certain persons and then just sat upon with no activity.
