If you put a direct link to a gif or video as the “link” of your post, I think it embeds automatically. But Lemmy right now does not support uploading videos directly.

I am not super knowledgeable about this side of thing - but it seems like the teams’ argument is that the Flyers signed DeAngelo a year ago and not the Canes, so this clause technically shouldn’t apply. Letter of the law vs the spirit of it.

We’ll see what the league says. I would imagine that if the trade is put on hold, plans would change after the free agent market opens, and this doesn’t end up happening.

Pictrs removes Exif data, yes. Most likely it removed the rotation data as well.

I found a VeganHomeCooks community: https://lemmy.world/c/veganhomecooks

Other than that i haven’t found anything like that… Would love for a shittyveganfoodporn. (although you can always create a community yourself!)

You can use browse.feddit.de to search communities across the Fediverse, even communities that your instance doesn’t know about yet. If you put the full link into the search bar of lemmy and wait a minute for the site to find the community, it will “make the connection” and allow you to subscribe to the community.

The backend is rust! The frontend is typescript with a react-type framework. So feel free to pitch in on the frontend if you are familiar with TS!

I don’t mind the pinned posts! I like keeping up to date on the lemmee goings on

I am going to be honest, i don’t really know either, I just included it in my example because I know it’s federated

I think it’s a P2P YouTube alternative?

Kbin, Mastodon, Peertube, anything in the Fediverse adheres to ActivityPub standard, which is the protocol that all of these sites use to communicate.

This infographic can explain better than I can:

Not a stupid question at all!

Right now, lemmy.ml is the biggest Lemmy instance and the “flagship” site. There are several other Lemmy instances across the internet. They are all connected with each other - or “federated” - meaning each instance can see all of the posts of any instance it’s federated with. Since every instance is federated with each other, you will get the same content no matter where your account is. So even though you are on lemmy.world, you can see everything that is posted to lemmy.ml.

E.g. even though I’m from lemm.ee, i still saw your post!!

Holy hell

Or: ✅ are you a parent who gives their child permission to access this site?

This reminds me of those website ads that’d tell you to ask your parents first.

I pretty much completely cut news out months ago and my mental health has improved immensely. I totally get the importance staying knowledgeable and up to date on world news, but it was just too much for me.

This doesn’t auto archive your image. It’s only if you click on one of those archive links that it’s archived.

I hate to keep bringing up weird sorting quirks…

but is anyone else running into 4 year old posts sticking at the top of some communities in Hot sort (like here: https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected])? It seems to be an instance specific thing.

Definitely not a big deal, but i thought I would mention it. Thanks again for keeping this place maintained! Server has been running great and i just added a community recently too. Can’t wait for this community to grow.

Chipping away at GTNH. I know it’s memed to death but it’s legit a great pack! The progression is tuned so well.

Lemmy has blown up within the past week. “Taking down reddit” was always a pipe dream, but now we have a real alternative with committed users. I’d call that a success.

In terms of server load (CPU) Lemmy uses a separate service for uploading / storing images (pictrs). It runs on the same server but in the grand scheme of things it’s never a bottleneck. Typically static image uploads are cached so it’s not much effort for the server.

However uploading images direct to Lemmy does have a storage impact. I know my home instance (lemm.ee) has a 100kb size limit for uploads, others may do that too.

If you’re concerned about that aspect, you can use a separate image hosting service too. As long as the link in your post points directly to an image, it’ll embed fine.

From what I’ve heard this is (at least somewhat) fixed in the upcoming 0.18 release, which should be coming in the next several days

This is all hearsay though so don’t quote me

Hurricanes! (Does the c/anes thing work or is it cheesy?)
