I know this community is “no stupid questions” but this is a stupid question.

No idea. As much as I love lemmy I’m not exactly shocked that directly uploaded media isn’t seamless. I thought it was my lemmy client, but it didn’t load when I checked from the web, either.

I’m not sure if there’s supposed to be a picture or video but the media doesn’t load for me (both on web and iOS voyager app).

How is this different from existing USB cable testers available from places like Amazon and AliExpress? In reading the description I didn’t see anything that set it apart

For anyone else very confused by their lemmy client not showing a title or seeing title simply stating “godot ocean waves”:

An open ocean rendering experiment in the Godot Engine utilizing the inverse Fourier transform of directional ocean-wave spectra for wave generation. A concise set of parameters is exposed, allowing for scriptable, real-time modification of wave properties to emulate a wide-variety of ocean-wave environments.

That’s the kind of answer you can expect when you ask in a non-technical community meant for conversational questions

Thanks for the info!

Do you know if either of these incorporate traffic conditions?

Check the rules

If your post meets the following criteria, it's welcome here!

  1. Open-ended question
  1. Not offensive: at this point, we do not have the bandwidth to moderate overtly political discussions. Assume best intent and be excellent to each other.
  1. Not regarding using or support for Lemmy: context, see the list of support communities and tools for finding communities below
  1. Not ad nauseam inducing: please make sure it is a question that would be new to most members
  1. An actual topic of discussion

Such delightful nerds that they felt the need to correct their old song! Well, it was a cover, but I’m pretty sure anyone who knows “Why Does the Sun Shine? (The Sun Is a Mass of Incandescent Gas)” associates it with TMBG

 

There are a significant amount of questions here that do not follow the criteria in the sidebar, especially “1. Open-ended question” and “5. An actual topic of discussion”. It seems some folks want others to do research for them, or to troubleshoot some random issue.

This bugs me. Of course, I can ignore and/or downvote those posts, and I do. However, I’m wondering if anyone else feels the same way. I’m don’t want to stifle content and discussion on such a burgeoning platform, but could we do something about this?

Perhaps we could “tag” posts in some way (I know tags aren’t officially supported yet) or maybe we could redirect folks to a sister community for non-discussion questions. Or something else?

Just throwin’ it out there. If I’m alone in this, I’ll take my lumps and quietly sit back down.

EDIT: Already seeing good points in the replies! makes sense- probably a bit too early to be sticklers about topics.

EDIT 2: Really appreciate the responses and discussion! I appreciate the discourse and also not being downvoted to oblivion 😄

FINAL EDIT: Thanks to all who commented. It’s nice to know I’m not alone, but I do accept what most (including mods) have said- cracking down on the types of questions is not a priority when the community is still growing.
