I don't know how many messages have done that today in the past ~7 hours. ~5-ish I guess.

I've been checking "all" once in a while to not miss any.

---

Edit

Also - I just noticed that a significant number of messages are entirely missing from "all". I have messages to "5 hours ago" and then there's a huge lacuna to "2 days". I've been posting quite a lot so ~40-ish messages are missing. If not a lot more.

Off topic: Who doesn't like the word "lacuna"?

You don't have to expand every post to check it out, this is just one view option

You are the only instance that is this hard to connect to lol!!!

I went to the trouble of swapping my Misskey instance to one on your Allowed list... it still isn't accepting my invite! That's the only way I can get your posts to appear on the instance...

P.S. Re: my username: I forgot which account I was going to give dental advice. Actually, I just remembered. Someone who mentioned braces. I was going to tell them to get Super Floss which is at big box stores and stuff. It's so awesome, obliterates braces gunk (this saved my life in high school, wish my orthodontist told me, screw orthodontists, they are all demons)

for example when I type :cringe and it opens the menu for me to browse, it pulls up like 200 emotes most of which don't even have half of the word cringe in them, just way, way too many results so I couldn't find the ones actually tagged with the keyword. Am I doin something wrong?

Love the new system, thanks so much for the hard work! I think something in the searching algorithm is a bit loose? I don't know how to code in the slightest so idunno but something sure isn't right

Not sure if this is the right place to ask. Delete if not allowed. But I am in a Mastodon server and see basically always the same opinions shared by everyone. I am just wondering if it's a Mastodon thing or a server thing

I keep finding things like direct replies to my posts and to my comments in the wild instead of via my inbox because my stuff is marked as read before I’ve interacted with the page. Any idea why this might be?

It was working just fine before, and then there was a big site update recently and everyone got logged out and had to re-authenticate. I am just now getting around to re-logging in on my mobile device, and I can't do it.

I've tried just "hexbear" as well as adding https:// and no matter what it just says instance not found

Any ideas?

Compare https://hexbear.net/u/[email protected] to https://lemmy.ml/u/tree . The post to c/technology a month ago, when Hexbear was on Lemmy 0.18, is visible on Hexbear, but the two more recent posts aren't showing on Hexbear, after the 0.19 upgrade.

Also see that @[email protected] posted to /c/[email protected] yesterday, and the post is not showing on Hexbear. You can only see his post if you view it through https://lemmy.ml/c/technology​@hexbear.net instead.

The purpose of this comm would be educational materials, allyship posts, and helping answer questions about queerness. It could contain stuff that a lot of queer people may not be interested in interacting with regularly, so it might be useful to have it as a separate comm

The American “intelligence community” wants to control the narratives on federated social media, as they already do on corporate social media.

• Atlantic Council: Collective Security in a Federated World
• Digital Infrastructure Insights Fund: Fediverse Governance Successes & Gaps

The whole “mis-, dis-, and mal-information” discourse was/is a psyop for top-down propaganda control. The Dem-aligned media did a bang-up job of discrediting Matt Taibbi such that his continued investigatory work into this intentionally opaque system is being ignored.

I don't think I really need to explain much, their admins are transphobic.

Snowe, an admin, complained about a transgender person being offended over being misgendered. Ategon made an apology post but keeps snowe on, no public apologies from snowe to the transgender people affected.

note: conversation about Ategon's use of the word triggered edited out, might be misunderstanding, need clarified

I literally do not care about opsec so i usr this sit while im on the shitter on my job's wifi and now i cannot shit in peace with all of this stuff happening, is it just my phone.

It gives me a red error box, error:incorrect_login

I believe I made a similar post around federation, but I think the issue got fixed really quickly or my eyes glazed over it last time. Neither the front page nor the opened post shows the website the link is to, and you have to open the post and click the title again to navigate to the link. Edit: image was broken because I hemmed and hawed

Not sure if this is the correct community to post this? I will make an account and see if I have this issue on Lemmy.ml

I've noticed a rise in people sharing links to YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and reddit that include tracking parameters in the URL.

It might largely be harmless for now, but it's not good to let companies build a web of links between users of this site, and to link the usernames of users on this site to their off-site accounts, which may include sensitive info.

This site should only allow canonical links to the content to limit the information exposed.

Noticed these just now. IIRC pre-patch that images in posts tagged NSFW would have blurred thumbnails until clicked?

Also there's only a 'Next' button when reaching the bottom of a page, no 'Back' button to return.

And some usernames are showing up in yellow, idk why. (Appears to be on mouse over/hover but not triggering off? I'm on phone so if I touch but don't click they'll turn and remain yellow until I interact with another element)

Screenshots below:

Sorry if this doesn't belong here, I couldn't find the user union comm (am I making that up? the place where people put emoji requests). Had an excellent post idea for /c/fakenews, went to post, button got stuck in the "submit" state. Turns out the RED FASH there only allow mod posts. In network console, the api/v3/post POST was returning a 400 status code with

{error: "only_mods_can_post_in_community"}

Can we get a toast for this error? Also this should really be a 403 Forbidden
