Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • Yep.

    This also means that different people who post the same thing to different communities have their posts show up as “linked” allowing people to find all the places people are talking about something.

    It mostly works with youtube videos and articles though. With images you have to make sure to use the same image link.


  • I only rarely host media on my instance itself. Catbox lets me control exactly what the file is, as the file is not subjected to any post-upload conversions.

    But many instances will actually grab a copy of the image and cache thumbnails at various resolutions.

    Thunder’s current version actually attempts to load the instance cached versions of images, though this has unintentionally left it unable to load and display the source file.

    In the future, the plan is to make this configurable, to allow users to set an image size they’d like Thunder to request from the instance cache instead of loading full images every time, allowing for faster browsing and conserved bandwidth.











  • @Stamets@lemmy.world

    Sopuli is having a federation issue, where outgoing data is failing to federate. You can post to the communities there, but content is failing to federate to other instances out from sopuli, meaning almost no-one is getting to see sopuli-related posts and comments. (Only sopuli and whatever instance the content originates at, few others)

    This post currently has triple the votes over on sopuli, and a comment by me from my sopuli account, all of which aren’t syncing back to lemmy.world

    Some instances are running on better servers than others, have staff that fix issues quicker and attend to updates sooner.

    For example, .world is still on v18 while the rest of the threadiverse has mostly moved on to v19.

    Some instances defederate certain other instances, so in some cases you might end up finding that a community you subbed to gets disappeared by the admins of your instance (lemmy.ml did this to ani.social a while back). Whether there are valid reasons goes case by case, sopuli.xyz for example blocks instances that are for porn, and I like it that way.

    Though outward federation is a bit borked on there atm, so I’m using my alts…

    But really, it doesn’t matter that much. If the grass looks greener, you can hop over the fence and see for yourself, and then hop right back if it turns out it wasn’t.
