Is this public? I wouldnโ€™t mind browsing it

[โ€“] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago

Yeah, bottom of the page on default UI

WTF feature did you just use? /modlog, what?

[โ€“] mp3@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

It's just a relative link, it will bring you to the /modlog of your home instance.

[โ€“] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I did not know that works. Check check.

Unfortunately, that's bound to go somewhere different for everyone, otherwise it would actually be a useful workaround for linking to comments. It is still kind of fun, though.

[โ€“] mp3@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Comments and posts are using different IDs per instance so those can't be linked using a relative path. However you can use https://lemmyverse.link for those.

Ex: this post

[โ€“] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's what I said.

Lemmyverse looks kinda cool, but honestly I wonder why they didn't just make it a Lemmy pull request and spare us all the extra domain.

[โ€“] mp3@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I'm not sure how they could fix that without having to change the entire database schema, and how to keep the posts and comments IDs in sync across the fediverse without breaking all the posts and the comments made prior to that change without processing a bunch of entries.

[โ€“] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Well, we have a backwards-compatible solution right here. Make a database that lists how the comment and post numbers correspond (I assume that's how this works).

Storing them by hash or something would be good too, but yeah, that's a lot more work.

[โ€“] retrospectology@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I'm not sure if it's different per instance, but in lemmy.world instance you go out to the feed and scroll to the bottom. You can search by user name and such.

[โ€“] ccf@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

on your instance's homepage you can scroll down to the bottom to find its modlog. here's lemmy.world's: https://lemmy.world/modlog

Holy crap why have I never thought of this

  • active: !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org - I'm never 100% sure what's going on here, but it's pretty interesting (comics)
  • active: !wtf@lemmy.wtf - things that make you say "WTF!"
  • active: !heathcliff@lemmy.world - daily posts of "Heathcliff without Heathcliff" comics edits that are usually pretty surreal.
  • active: !jingszo@lemmy.world - weird news (sometimes leaning towards pseudoscience/conspiracy-theory)
  • semi-active: !offbeat@lemmy.ca - weird news (usually from mainstream news)
  • semi-active: !atbge@lemmy.world - "awful taste but great execution"
  • semi-active: !13thFloor@kbin.social - was a fairly-regularly-updated collection of interesting stuff, but then the main poster "disappeared", and another person took over for a bit but then there were kbin federation problems...
  • semi-active: !the_pack@lemmy.world - I think the idea is to sound like a badass but to actually be wholesome?
  • inactive: !evilveronica@lemmy.world - basically this guy complaining about his ex-wife. feelz bad for him but it was pretty entertaining. Hasn't posted since December, hope he's OK.

Also !funhole@lemmy.sdf.org. Way more inscrutable IMO than Unix Surrealism, which you can at least work out is a one-man art movement.

I love my instance.

There are no subs here: It's all communities and magazines!

That said, !aneurysmposting@sopuli.xyz is pretty good

Kbin's equivalent of communities are magazines. Similarly, Masodon's equivalent are Groups.

Magazines are basically communities on Mbin and Kbin.

That time they banned the word "fascist" was the closest to self-awarenes they get.

[โ€“] fossphi@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

What do you mean we're fascists. We love freedom so much we banned the f word!

[โ€“] neidu2@feddit.nl 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've seen their posts from time to time and I must admit I have no idea what that community is about.

[โ€“] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 months ago

It looks like a Spiritualist form of Idealism intentionally created as a means to combine with social activism. There are also Soulists on Lemmy, which is equally outside the realm of reality.

I'm not a sub, and I don't even know why you tagged me in this sub/dom BDSM thread.

[โ€“] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 4 months ago

!lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world never disappoints.
