Been using Connect for months, great app! I am in Beta program. Last few hours I am unable to access my main instance (lemmy.sdf.org) using my main account with it, I get error

Error An error occurred when retrieving from Lemmy. sdf.org. Details: type 'Null' is not a subtype of type 'bool' in type cast

I am able to access this using desktop browser. I am able to access alt accounts on other instances using Connect.

How to fix this?

Edit

As some commenters here have pointed out this is due to SDF upgrading their server to version 0.19 which isn't ready and breaks app support- see

Hi I am hoping for recommendations for desktop monitors to use with a modeler, thanks in advance!

Use case

Solo electric guitar practice, not gigging or recording, needs to be at a moderate volume- think not louder than a loudly strummed acoustic guitar.

Equipment I already have

• HeadRush Gigboard (can be considered the same as the Headrush MX5 here)
• Blackstar HT-5R MKII

Problem(s)

Unfortunately, even on the 0.5 Watt setting, the Blackstar is just too loud. It sounds terrible at a (for me) usable volume. Not made easier when I am trying for bluesy breakup sounds. I have tried using the Headrush with headphones and it just doesn't really work for me - I feel completely disconnected. Trying to use the Headrush with the Blackstar isn't ideal either - doesn't sound great, no matter trying to turn the various cab simulations on/off on both.

Proposal

Sell the Blackstar and get (a) desktop monitor(s). I had initially thought of getting the Headrush FRFR-108 - a nominally 'matching' Full-range, flat response speaker in a floor wedge format- but discussion online suggests desktop monitors would be more appropriate for home use and after doing some testing with a little bluetooth portable speaker (using the aux input) I am alarmed at the prospect that the Headrush floor wedge is 2000 Watts. It seems that it could be very easy to accidentally trigger a massive increase in volume. So Desktop monitor(s) it is then.

Question

I have been suggested the Yamaha HS-8 which is available singly. Is this my best option for a monitor? Are there other well-known brands I should consider? I realise that some effects are stereo but that's not a primary concern/focus for me.

Thanks in advance!

Amazon sold bottles of urine marketed as an energy drink, a new documentary reveals. The company also makes it alarmingly easy to sell dangerous items to children.

I've been using Connect for a couple of months now and really like it. I'm using the Beta on Kuro's recommendation for some (for me) killer features that I am looking to replicate on Desktop. I don't know if these features are now available in the main Connect release (yet?) but anyway:

• Filters: Exclude posts from your feed if post contains a filter word (regex)
• Community filters: Exclude communities from your feed if post contains a filter word (regex)
• Blocked instances

What's my most straightforward route to getting these on a desktop? I am using an M2 Mac, typically with Google Chrome, but I don't mind using an extension or a different browser for this.

I'm aware that I can install some iOS applications and can currently see

• Memmy for Lemmy
• Thunder for Lemmy
• Voyager for Lemmy
• Avelon for Lemmy
• Milem for Lemmy
• Liftoff! for Lemmy
• ~~Lemmi~~ (not a Lemmy app!)
• Lemmios
• Bean for Lemmy
• CheeseBot for Lemmy

but I can't readily find one which has these features and the mobile on desktop experience is not ideal. Also not keen on apps insisting on a login to even preview use.

I'm also aware that there are also android emulators for Mac but I don't have experience with these to know which if any of these might be suitable for daily use for my purpose.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I'm now at the point where my blocklist of communities is a multiple of the number of my subscriptions. A lot of my blocked communities have similar or even the same titles across different Lemmy instances, e.g., 'politics', 'news', 'memes'. New ones pop up every time I visit 'all' and it would be so nice if I didn't have to go through blocking each individual one each time. I understand that nobody has a working regex block at the moment but I've seen mentioned in several places that LemmyConnect has a keyword filter. Please can someone show me where it is?

Thanks

Would it be possible to have a feature to 'freeze gifs' in user avatars. As you can see from this example it can be really distracting. We've all seen what signatures and other cruft look like on other forums- see Ars technica etc.- and I am in the camp that anything that adds cognitive load but isn't part of the post or comment should be minimised.

Thanks

Thanks for a great app. Miles better than Jerboa and better than the initial version of Sync! I have a feature request (apologies if I have misunderstood something):

I have multiple Lemmy accounts on multiple instances. If I want to browse in a public place then I 'hide' NSFW. If I want to browse NSFW then I will switch account but I then have to also unhide and unblur NSFW. Could it be possible for these settings to be set in the context of the account rather than the app so that switching accounts could also switch these settings?

Thanks
