There are some funky federation issues right now, the servers are straining a little bit under the load spike. I can see your post.

TestFlight caps out at 10k testers. That’s an Apple thing. It’s about to be out of beta and on the App Store, though, so it will be available soon.

I couldn’t pull up the link for some reason, so if anyone else is having that problem, I think this is what OP is referring to:

ROFL it looks funky on my current phone but you know what, it’s better than what Reddit turned it into.

It’s a swipe, left to right, shorter swipe is upvote, longer is downvote. Swipe right to left to reply to a comment.

I think eventually they’re going to have button controls for those who turn off swipe controls (because I’ve tried to toggle that off and it doesn’t do anything yet) but right now, it’s all swipe controls.

iOS 17 developer beta 2.

I deleted Memmy and reinstalled it this afternoon and it’s already back to nearly half a GB.

I’m also seeing large documents and data space.

I have the space on my phone right now but it would be nice to have a clear cache button or something to get rid of some of that.

Awesome, every update keeps getting better :)

When I tap on another person’s username it’s just pulling up my profile instead of theirs, just making a note of it. :)

Cisgender means the person has a gender identity that matches the sex they were assigned at birth.

If you are a man and you were assigned male at birth, you are cis.

If you are a man and you were assigned female at birth, you are trans.

Non-binary can mean anything from not having a strong specifically male or female identity to closer to switching identities (bi-gender falls closer into this) to just having a lot of serious fluidity, but typically speaking at least part of the time the identity doesn’t match the assigned sex at birth.

The admin of this instance also is the admin of mastodon.world and the code of conduct (applies to all of ruud’s stuff) can be found here:

https://mastodon.world/about

Any person who is a user of this instance or participates in any community hosted on this instance is bound by those rules.

If you don’t like the rules, you are absolutely welcome to find an instance that you would prefer but remember, if you still choose to visit any community here, you gotta pay attention to the rules. If you don’t like that moderators can and will moderate, you might want to find some other place to hang out.

Magazines (kbin) and Communities (Lemmy) are the naming conventions for the group type of posts offered - like subreddits. Magazines and Communities are effectively the same thing, just different naming conventions from their different backbone software running on the instance.

Instances are the full server in which the communities and users are held. Like sh.itjust.works is an instance - it’s the page where you can log into in order to then interact with anything both housed within your instance as well as the greater fediverse (barring any defederated instances, as you mentioned).

I’m subscribed to 50 total communities / magazines across Lemmy and kbin and honestly, almost every time I hit refresh (while using subscribed and sort by new - I understand there are some front page bugs) I get new stuff to read or look at.

I haven’t felt like it’s dead here since I signed up and the engagement has just gotten better as people get more comfortable with whichever software they’re using (either Lemmy, kbin, or even Mastodon). It’s not an overwhelming amount of posts like trying to read Reddit by New.

And I look regularly for other communities I might be interested in.

There’s a community of old stories from Reddit lore is a NSFW community - not porn, but the stories can be kind of horrifying in other ways and it is definitely not for general audiences. Disabling NSFW makes the community go poof for me. !archive@lemmy.world - I think there are some not-NSFW stories in it but the community itself is NSFW.

According to the screenshots in the sticky on r/music, they have created a new Admin account under an anonymous name and are messaging mod teams telling them to get back to work. And they removed mod permissions from a mod there (but they’ve been restored now).

That’s why a lot of subs are continuing the protest in other ways. r/pics, r/gifs, r/art have all had polls with the subs and are now currently John Oliver only subs, r/aww is probably about to follow them. r/steam now posts literal steam and steam engines, r/wellthatsucks is posting vacuum cleaners, others like r/interestingasfuck as said they are changing rules to be pretty much anything anyone wants to post as long as the poster thinks it’s interesting as fuck, iOS is similar, they’re removing all rules and anyone can post anything as long as it has something to do with iOS, etc.

I can appreciate the chaos this is devolving into.

Your username is from lemmy.world so just go to https://lemmy.world and that will be where you would log in

The “instance” is where your user is held - that’s lemmy.world. Any other instance, like lemmy.ml or sh.itjust.works or any of that won’t let you log in because those instances don’t have your user in their databases, but you can interact with them from your log in through lemmy.world
