And this is me, doing exactly that!

edit: turns out it’s not down, just that my search term seems cursed

[target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]
linker = "/usr/bin/clang-15"`
rustflags = ["-C", "link-arg=--ld-path=/usr/local/bin/mold"]

Can you put something like mold or env mold for better portability?

If not, I guess it’s not so bad to edit and do git update-index --assume-unchanged .cargo/config.toml but it’s a bit hacky since any further changes also get ignored.

This makes sense.

Ah, so it’s not even possible with a different front-end (unless it stores extra data).

Yes, you can go to your profile and click on “Saved” to see your starred posts/comments.

One annoying thing is that it’s sorted by the original posting date, not the time you saved it, which might mean your most recently saved item isn’t even on the first page of results.

I just tried searching “element lemmy” and got the article Lemmy: Fans call for periodic table element to be named after Motörhead frontman

Whereas “element reddit” gives /r/elementchat/

Lemmy is indexed on Google as using the site: operator will show, e.g. “rust site:programming.dev” gives sensible results, but there’s not a way to search across Lemmy. Well, not with Google anyway (Kagi has a Fediverse lens that works fairly well).

I guess not!

It’s an increase in reported monthly users, as now activity like voting is also considered, not just posts/comments.

Yup, and with @notthebees’ idea of taking photos as a backup you’ve got what you need.

Having a computer-based one that’s the source of truth (and perhaps accessible online) does make sense, although I suspect this is too niche to exist already.

I know these are famous last words, but this doesn’t sound too difficult to knock up yourself, assuming you know kung-fu coding.

It turns out that people on Lemmy are no better responsibly using a downvote button than anywhere else. I think you should have to at least select a reason why you’re downvoting to add some friction - maybe options something like “I don’t like this”, “I disagree”, “This is factually incorrect”, “Spam”, “Abusive language”, etc. Then you can filter out the first two!

This is ridiculously petty from the devs, and does make me seriously wonder about Lemmy’s future.

Yup, the software is patched to not allow e in usernames or posts (apart from in URLs). Expressing yourself without using any word involving e is a fun challenge, and often you think you succeeded until the validation tells you off.

https://oulipo.social/ is a custom Mastodon that forbids that fifth alphanum symbol in its toots. That is, using a,b,c,d is ok and any of f,g,h up to z is also ok and also digits and punctuation but that’s all.

This post would pass its validation.

You mean lackluster?
