Is it typical when trying to join a community on a different instance that it says pending? Or am I needing to wait for someone to approve me joining?

 
  • I'm running into issues with posts and comments showing up. I made a post in this community about 15 minutes ago that does not show up when sort is set to new but it will show when set to hot or active.

  • I'm making comments on posts that won't show up. It says there is a comment by the count on the post but when going on the post is doesn't show it.

  • I'm not finding a sort option for comments. This would be a helpful option. Sorry for a repeat if this has already been brought up.

 

I'm wondering if it's just a me issue but as I'm scrolling feeds and it doesn't matter if it's local or all, new or hot, or any combination after a bit the feed just stops and I can't go any further.

I'm not sure how fringe they are anymore. Look at the recent Bud Light and Target fiascos. I think the sentiment is larger than people thought

I fully appreciate what you're saying. I will say this though, it's hard to want to have civil discourse with people who support politicians who actively are trying to strip my rights away and think I shouldn't exist. I know they themselves might not agree with that aspect of the politician but by continuing to vote for that person they are condoning what the politician is doing.

Cover things with post-its

So somehow we need the world to give up their apple and and android phones. I don't see that happening LOL. It's awesome to know it's a possibility though.

Well it's good to know there is some awareness about the issue that hopefully will be corrected.

I understand what you are saying but it's is inescapable I feel if we want to continue to use these personal assistant devices. Hey Google and Siri are the same. They all have to be constantly listening in order to be able to pickup when we are talking to them. The level of interconnectability we want as a society and personal recommendations when using those systems inherently come with a need to be tracked both physically and on the internet. Just by agreeing to use an app like find my phone you agree to be tracked by having location services turned on. We all signed away our privacy a long time ago willingly

With the echo sure. But in that regard what isn't spying on us? Our phones are always listening lol. As far as the cameras though they are on their own self contained system. Saved footage as far as I know doesn't even get uploaded to any of their servers. It's all just saved to your personal hub on an SD card.

 

I just started using jerboa and lemmy itself and I can't seem to locate options to get notifications on replies to comments. I'm just curious if it's possible and I'm totally blind not finding it or if it's not available.

Look into Amazon blink. It's what I use.
