  • If you’re talking about Lemmy, it depends on what you’re using to browse. I use boost and for images like that, at the top right of when I have the image open there is a “HD” button which loads the image in full quality. Take a look around the UI when looking at an image, you may be able to find a button like that. Another option is to go into settings and look for an option to always load images in the best quality, that would also probably help.

    Good luck 😊

    Do you know where can I find a download for LSTC 2021? Do you know if it’s available to purchase a key through the windows store or something like that? I did some googling but all I found was possible ways of getting volume keys for enterprise usage… Which I mean is kind of what it’s for, but I would like to try it for myself.

    So this one is a little strange, for me to get it to work I went into the instance list and removed all the other instances and added only my home instance sh.itjust.works. From there liftoff should be using your account on your home instance when interacting with the others. Liftoff seems setup base for users who do not have an account on any instance and therefore indexes the main popular ones for content. Removing those extra instances seems to force liftoff to interact with the fediverse through only your home instance.

    Another possible reason, in general settings, if you have the setting “see all posts from everywhere” or something to that regard on, then liftoff looks at the whole fediverse and not just through your home instance. On instances that liftoff finds, some may be defederated or not indexed with your home instance therefore you cannot interact with them. I recommend just turning this setting off. If you need a more detailed breakdown let me know 😊

    Maybe I can be of help with explaining how Lemmy and the federation works. (Hope I have this right, anybody feel free to correct me)

    Lemmy itself is just the software used by the different servers (beehaw.org, sh.itjust.works, etc…) that belong to the federation.

    These servers can each have communities and users that belong to them, but these communities and users can all interact with and be interacted with from other servers. Example, I am currently logged into and browsing this post from the sh.itjust.works server)

    So the communities that you see on lemmy.one are hosted on one server and the communities from beehaw.org are hosted on a different server.

    Because of this setup, communities aren’t just as simple as Reddit (/r/wellthatsucks) because there can be [email protected] and [email protected]. These communities are different and run by different people.

    Now the way the federation for the servers works is that in order for servers to know that eachother exist, communities or posts from one server have to be searched for on another one. (Ex. searching [email protected] while on beehaw.org) by searching for the communities, your server now knows they exist and will work in the background to sync those communities so that you can browse them from your own server.

    The idea is that you only need 1 account on 1 server somewhere in order to participate in the federation.

    Unfortunately, because of this system and the rapid growth from the Reddit exodus, communities have been splintered onto different servers. That is why LOTRmemes exist in many different places. They are all different communities.

    In order to find the communities that you are looking for on beehaw, search for them while logged into your account on Lemmy.one. You’ll probably be able to find them.

    Keep in mind, this federation works when the servers are okay with communicating with eachother. You will find there are posts talking about defederation of servers.

    My home server is has been defederated from beehaw.org. I cannot find their communities or interact with anything on their server, and the same with them to my home server. Both of our servers however can still participate with other servers though, because only the metaphorical link between beehaw.org and sh.itjust.works is broken, all the others are still intact.

    I hope this sorta clears things up a bit for you. Welcome to Lemmy!
