I play guitar, watch USMLR and NHL, occasionally brew beer, and practice sarcasm.

You can subscribe to both! Reddit has multiple subreddits per topic too.
I thought Rogers was strictly Canadian, but you moderate Houston Texans community?

Thanks! I was unaware of that markdown syntax.

Lemmy@lemmy.ml•As a community owner/mod, how do I approve a follow from a Mastodon user?English
4·3 years agoNo worries, it was still a useful answer as an instance admin might find the post.

4·3 years agoThanks, but I’m just a user here on lemmy.ml, so I don’t have access to that. If it’s not exposed in the UI at all I’ll open an issue over in GitHub.

Technology@lemmy.ml•What is your favourite 3rd party Lemmy client?English
3·3 years agoI think there’s just been a lot of growing pains with beehaw and lemmy.ml seeing way more traffic from new users. Their servers are going down under the load and that results in weird errors in the clients and web, and I’m assuming federation issues too.

Lemmy@lemmy.ml•lemmy.ml is overloaded, use other instances insteadEnglish

2·3 years agoThat’s wild.
Per-community flair is nice in particular contexts. Like in a community focused on a specific league, a flair to show what team you support. But in a politics community I think flair for the party you support would end up really biasing the conversation.

Lemmy@lemmy.ml•[@lemmy](https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy) I just realized that you can submit posts to any lemmy community from any mastodon / fediverse account. This is pretty cool!
4·3 years agoCan I search for posts Mastodon instances from Lemmy? For example to crosspost to a Lemmy community?
Post needs more CowboyNeal to go with that whipped llama.
I went from Slashdot to Fark to Digg to Reddit. Already found the Fediverse as @baronvonj@mastodon.online after recent changes over on Twitter.
As my user bio says I dabble in guitar and watch rugby (US MLR, go SaberCats) and hockey (NHL). For reading it’s mostly fantasy, with The Witcher and Discworld being my most recent books, but I also enjoy scifi. I tend to be more visual (ie TV and movies) due to ADHD though. Video games with a strong narrative are great. Games like the Horizon series (Zero Dawn, Forbidden West), Uncharted, Assassin’s Creed, Witcher, and Zelda Breath of the Wild.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Asking third-party reddit app devs to consider Lemmy after recent Reddit API changes.
7·3 years agoI paid for Relay Pro after trying a bunch of other apps. Mobile web sites can generally work well enough but I almost always prefer an app, because they can better incorporate mobile UX patterns/elements to make better use of the small screen. For example each post is wrapped in a tile with the headline and thumbnail displayed and I can swipe an individual post to see the controls (up/down vote, open link in browser, go right to comments, etc). Even on the mobile site theres too much clutter.






fantastic, thanks. I don’t think I ever would have found that myself. Doesn’t appear to be the case that the automatic DB check is in v0.18 though, as it still fails on https://enterprise.lemmy.ml/c/usmlr.
