I love you.

Just trying to do my part to help non-corporate social media grow!

    I am not entirely convinced you’re not a bot. But you get a pass thanks to your top notch content.

    You're like that one power user on old school forums that you would see everywhere and everyone else would know and respect them lmao

    Mad respect, I've shared so many of your memes to outerverse folks and realised most of them come from you.

    Just to be clear, no hate at all for the_picard_maneuver!

    I don't hate him either, but I suspect a lot of the memes come from reddit. Not that I care. The memes are dope

    Yeah, I make OC for lemmy occasionally, but the majority of memes are saved from other sites.

    I see it as a doing a little bit of dumpster diving so that lemmy doesn't have to.

    It's appreciated. There's no way with how prolific you are that you could sustain it if it was all OC.

    Oh god, it would be practically full time. I'm still really slow at making memes, but I'm starting to learn the tricks.

    I still don't see how what you're doing isn't full-time.

  • It really doesn't feel like too much. I just drop a few memes whenever I find a free minute or two. Usually during the day, but sometimes I go hours or even a busy day without thinking about it.

    It means that I'm using lemmy as much as I used to check reddit though, but I'm having fun actually contributing instead of lurking this time around.

    They post so fast, they appear to be in two places at the same time.

    Being able to see Lemmy karma scores feels... wrong. But yes, the Picard Maneuver is a treasure

    You do? Hmm, that's strange... I'm uploading everything through Lemmy directly and haven't been hosting off site.

    When I switch to my .world account, it doesn't appear that way to me either. Could anyone more technical take a stab at what might be happening?

    The problem is something to do with startrek.website, but it only affects the default UI (Lemmy-UI). I've seen it on a large number of images uploaded on startrek.website but viewed on another instance. It doesn't seem to affect files uploaded to external websites though

    I think it's something about HTTP cross-origin headers that they've configured incorrectly. I'll have to confirm later when I'm on a desktop browser.

    Edit: It's actually uBlock Origin blocking the images from loading! There's a rule in EasyList that is matching *.website (it's a lot more complicated of a rule, but that's the gist). It blocks it unless it's coming from one of a few whitelisted pages like lemmy.world.

    I found a workaround mentioned here: https://lemm.ee/comment/3068996

    Oh interesting... Yeah, I mostly post from Liftoff or Voyager on my phone, so I wouldn't have noticed.

    I wonder if the startrek.website admins are aware of the inconsistency.

    I assumed it was something to do with lemm.ee's policy with federating images to protect against CP attacks, since everyone else who says they're having trouble is also from lemm.ee. I think what they're doing is just linking to the other instances' images directly, and maybe startrek.website doesn't like that?

    I can see your lemmy.world account's posts just fine.
