Why does this community need '@lemmy.ml' even locally? in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml
[–] baronvonj@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

Any idea what it is about the community that is triggering the bug? I see other communities are working just fine.

Why does this community need '@lemmy.ml' even locally? (lemmy.ml)
 

Going to https://lemmy.ml/c/usmlr gives a 404, but https://lemmy.ml/c/usmlr@lemmy.ml works.

There's also quite a bit of lag in federation, with most other instances not even having the last changes I made to the description. Only lemmy.world does, but I also moderated and post in the community from that instance, so that may be why.

I would assume beehaw simply won't receive the posts I make from my lemmy.world account, because defederation.

Crossposting support federated communities (lemmy.ml)
 

I made a post in !guitar@lemmy.studio from here on lemmy.ml, and then wanted to crosspost it to !guitars@lemmy.world (again, from here on lemmy.ml). When I clicked on the cross-post button in the original post, nothing I typed in the Community field seemed to pop up as a match for the desired federated community to cross-post to.

So I simply copied the URL, Title, and Body of the original post, but added [Crosspost] in the Title, and Crossposted from ... in the body with a lemmy.ml link to the original, and blockquoted the copied body text.

Original - https://lemmy.ml/post/1178638 Crossposted - https://lemmy.ml/post/1207214

If you look at them both, you will see these little tidbits

Original

Crosspost

So .. it did actually get recorded in the back-end as a cross-post, even though the front-end didn't look like it was possible. So is this a UI bug that you can't select a federated community as the destination of a crosspost? Was it the inclusion of Crossposted from <lemmy.ml link to original> that made it identify as a crosspost?

Republicans set lose multiple seats due to Supreme Court ruling in c/usa@lemmy.ml

Looks like 5 seats could end up becoming Democratic, which would mean an even split of 217 seats each.

uhhh... what do I call the "subreddits"? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] baronvonj@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

You can subscribe to both! Reddit has multiple subreddits per topic too.

I thought Rogers was strictly Canadian, but you moderate Houston Texans community?

You can follow hashtags on Mastodon. You can also follow Lemmy communities from Mastodon! Search @<community>@<instance> (ie @fediverse@lemmy.ml)

Embed remote images? in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

Thanks! I was unaware of that markdown syntax.

Embed remote images? (lemmy.ml)
 

To help keep hosting costs down I want to link to remote images instead of uploading them. But I also want them to be rendered inline/embedded in the post. At least from Jerboa client I don't see a way to do that.

No worries, it was still a useful answer as an instance admin might find the post.

I created a community here, and then tried to follow it from my Mastodon account. On Mastodon it says the follow request is pending approval. But I don't see any way to approve it from here on lemmy.ml. Any suggestions?
