Canvas has just doubled. We trying to get stars and border down.

There is a cheaper alternative to supermarkets, but most people don't know it exists [It's shopping cooperatives] in c/[email protected]

Do it. I don't understand why more people don't join credit unions / mutual banking. There's literally no downsides, they have all the same services, protections, minus the fees. It's a no brainer.

Given the size of the canvas, perhaps we should just adjust the template of the whole flag down to the size of the existing union jack?

Seriously, almost all the posts are just doom scrolling. And yes, I'm aware of the irony in c/[email protected]

/all does seem to be devolving into just a shitty news feed of US bullshit. I try and block as much as possible, but it's not perfect. Lemmy needs a way to categorise and filter out stuff like blatant news links. I want memes and discussion, not ads and news.

There's no better ad for piracy than the greed of corporations. Don't let ads shit in your head. They disrespect you, you disrespect them.

Privacy friendly alternatives to Goodreads? (aussie.zone)
 

Are there any good quality, open-source or community-driven alternatives to goodreads? Something which offers the same discoverability service for similar or related books, including the ability to wishlist and review?

How to manually remove nvidia package that won't go? (aussie.zone)
 

(Linux Mint) Switched to an AMD graphics card recently and ran “sudo apt remove --purge” on all ^nvidia* and ^libnvidia* packages. Unfortunately, one package (libnvidia-compute-470) seems to not get the message and won’t remove itself. Quick search around the internet on solutions have not resolved the issue yet. Wondering if anyone had any ideas how to manually remove this package? Cheers!

Any reason we haven't federated with Lemmygrad? (aussie.zone)
 

Noticed they are quite a large server with similar rules to ours (Be respectful, no bigotry, no porn, etc). Looking at their front page, it seems pretty tame, just anti-capitalist memes and discussion. Is there a reason we have blocked them?

What's your opinion on cross-posting? (aussie.zone)
 

One of the hurdles to change for users switching from reddit to a federated platform is less content. The logic goes: “smaller community, less content, I can see i’m missing out on stuff over there so I’m not going to switch away”.

One potential solution to this would be automated cross-posting, using bots or similar. Obviously there are cons to this approach, which we are all likely aware of.

What are your thoughts on focusing efforts in this direction to drive faster user growth? Good because it will drive more users to consider jumping ship given that it reduces FOMO? Bad because it makes the place look less community spirited and genuine and different?

Subscribe buttons missing (aussie.zone)
 

Apologies in advance, newbie here.

I've encountered an issue when trying to subscribe to new communities, wondering if I'm doing something wrong or something is broken. The workflow seems to be as follows:

  1. User goes to Aussie Zone (AZ) community browser and searches for desired communities to join (either by keyword search filtered by communities, or something like using Lemmy Explorer to search and find the exact community address to search).

  2. User browses to that community from AZ instance (because there's no direct "subscribe" button in the search page)

  3. User clicks the "Subscribe" button in the top right dialog box for that community.

My problem in this flow (which has worked for some communities, but not many) is that when browsing to the community and going to find the subscribe button, in most cases it's simply just text saying 'subscribe' with no link/button. Is this just a bug, is there a delay in syncing that you have to wait for, or does this indicate the community is not federated with AZ?

Thanks!
