Could you please add !52weeksofart@lemmy.world to your art list?

[-] Sergio@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 years ago

Ok done!

[-] DaMonsterKnees@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Cheers for the shoutout!

!taneggs@lemmy.ca is here to keep you positive, with the unconditional love of tiny cute mammals.

[-] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I'm the mod at !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world

I created !Dullsters@dullsters.net as a fun project. Same content, new address. Dull mens club will remain active.

!boardgames@sopuli.xyz has only one post from over a year ago, I'm no sure that can be called active.

Edit: my language settings were wrong, see comment below.

[-] Grimy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe a bug? Last post was 60 minutes ago.

[-] rulray@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Aha, solved it, I hadn't selected English in languages setting, so it was hiding everything. Thank you for pointing it out.

[-] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Oof, wouldn't that have been hiding a huge number of posts from your feed? Lemmy must have seemed really quiet

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

I posted about this on !youshouldknow@lemmy.world, seems like quite a few new joiners are having the issue

[-] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, I'm the top comment in there ๐Ÿ˜‚

[-] rulray@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, it was me xD But there's something going on, i can't see any reply, even after I got the notifications.

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

@otter@lemmy.ca could you maybe pin this post to the community? That was it's more visible for people visiting

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Good call, pinned!

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Hello @otter@lemmy.ca,

Sorry to bother you again, but it seems like the pin gets reset everyday? I pinned it yesterday, and it's unpinned again on other instances:

Not sure what is happening here, but I don't have the same issue on !movies@lemm.ee for instance

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

It's odd that something is causing it to be unpinned afterwards. Is it unpinned everywhere that you've checked, or those instances in particular?

I'll pass this along to the others

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

Everywhere I checked. Also, the pin actions don't seem to federate:

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Odd, I'll see if we can figure out what might be happening

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

Thanks!

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Perfect, thanks! I'll revisit the post from time to time

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Seems like it didn't pin on lemm.ee: https://lemm.ee/c/communitypromo@lemmy.ca ๐Ÿค”

Could you may try to unpin/repin it?

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Odd, I guess pins still don't federate consistently?

Did it a few times, and it looks like it's pinned there now :)

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Good!

Reminds of that classic GIF: https://giphy.com/gifs/css-13FrpeVH09Zrb2

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

If it works, it works ๐Ÿ˜„

[-] Blaze@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Hello @otter@lemmy.ca ,

Seems like it's not working anymore, for instance

Would you mind making me a mod with this account? That way I can try to fix this without bothering you every time :)

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Yea totally, not sure why I didn't do that sooner

[-] Blaze@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Great, thanks!

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Alright, just did it, seems to work now!

[-] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 2 points 2 years ago

Again whatโ€™s the point of movies and moviesandshows?

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

!movies@lemm.ee is movies.

!showsandmovies@lemm.ee is about TV shows. Name is unfortunate, but it comes from a time where we had both content on the same communities, they are now split. The display name has been changed to "Shows and TV"
