As of 31th January, it's restored to the Play Store. Their blog has a slightly more detailed report: https://element.io/blog/element-on-google-play-store/

But experts have said the agency's methods could do more harm than good in its fight to crack down on political corruption.

Of course an American journal will say that... While their own country does basically nothing to address corruption.

I don't think there ever was a feature to follow a user on Lemmy, whether on your own instance or on another one. However, you can send direct messages to users on a different instance, and you can subscribe to communities on a different instance. In fact, you can do most actions you would do on your own instance on another instance, except for creating and moderating communities.

For example: My username probably looks like @RandomSovietKid@lemmygrad.ml to you, indicating that my account is registered on the lemmygrad.ml instance, yet I'm seeing and commenting on this your post on the lemmy.ml instance.

If with "talk to each other", you mean federation — yes, it's enabled now. You can read the announcement here: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/9334. You can see posts also from the other federated instances by selecting "All" instead of "Local".

(or: revolution does not require violence)

Where did you get that part from? I don't see such a statement in the article.

As far as I understand, it filters not just by which language is spoken in the video, but also by which language it has subtitles in. So if the video isn't in English, but has English subtitles, it'll still appear.

(I can't say anything about the newpipe problem though, I've never used it.)

EDIT: Sorry, I misread your comment initially. I meant setting which languages you want to see will look at both video language and subtitles, I don't know about instance search. I'm quite inexperienced with Peertube...

Peertube has language setting. When you're at the main page, click on "Settings" in the sidebar. You'll get this pop-up (you probably in English, though):

The bottom field lets you set which languages you want to see videos in. Just remove "All languages" and set "English" and whatever other languages you want to see.

However, I just tried it on the peertube.social instance, it didn't work for me. But then the problem is not that Peertube doesn't have a language settings, but that the language settings don't work...

If you have a Peertube account and are logged in, you can change displayed languages in your account settings. That works for me.

Comrade Kim Jong Il passed away on 17th December 2011. Maybe you confused the two?

I meant, I had no idea why that internal server error was there. But now Felipe explained it in above comments.

Are there any plans to make it possible to browse a remote instance's community list without going to their site? That would make finding and subscribing to remote communities much more convenient IMO.

Alright. So it's intended that way. Thanks for clarifying.

This is very good news! Have been looking forward to this for long time already.

But it's seeming that some things aren't working right (Maybe it's transfer problems? New posts seem to be working fine).

For example, here the same post viewed from Lemmygrad:

and from "main" Lemmy:

Apparently the upvotes and some of the comments don't show up when looking at it from Lemmygrad. This isn't a single problem in only that post, you can look at !asklemmy@lemmy.ml for some more, or for example this post with no comments and 2 upvotes when viewing from Lemmygrad and 101 upvotes (and 32 downvotes lol) and lots and lots of comments when viewing from "main" Lemmy.

On another note, are there plans to make the search search across instances? At the moment, it seems to not find posts from another instance:

Whoa, did you just turn on the federation? (I'm seeing this from Lemmygrad...)

There's been discussion to make a script to upload data from a Reddit community to a Lemmy instance. See the discussion here, and the Github issue here.

(From what I understand, not a particularly high-priority task, but it sounded somewhat similar to what you described and I also think such a script would be good to have.)

No, Feliks Edmundovich Dzerzhinskiy was director of the Cheka. Stalin's "original name" was Dzhugashvili (hope I spelled that one correctly...).

This is my dream, too...

"I was born after the dissolution of the USSR, and I spent most of my life in America. Let me explain to you how terrible life under communism was."

The most upvoted answer begins with:

I personally don't think anarchists can really plan that far ahead. Anarchism is more a process than a end goal.

That's literally your problem, anarchists...

• emojis of your favourite ML figures

• no emoji of Kim Il Sung and no emoji of Stalin

:confused face:

(It's fine, I don't use discord anyway.)

Found an image with higher resolution, but unfortunately not of the whole picture: https://lemmygrad.ml/pictrs/image/iCHSskBfnM.jpg

I recognize Che, Kim Il Sung, Castro, Ho Chi Minh (?), Mao, Engels (?), Marx, Lenin and Stalin. But who are the four on the left of the picture?

Have you any article to read about this? I don't have a Netflix and I prefer reading article to watching videos anyway mostly.

Note how Germany itself "abstained" from voting on the resolution... One might have thought that they'd have learned a lesson, but no. "Never again fascism, never again war." But no, Germany is trying to become an imperialist power on its own, they're talking openly about "defending German interests" and "western values" (read between the lines — they mean doing imperialist intervention). Again all the baseless accusations to incite hostility against Russia. I so much hate capitalism and especially its imperialist stage...

I want all of these things... Where do I sign up for "Cultural Marxism"?

Look how the girl is arranging the bricks. That's authoritarian! She's infringing on the bricks' freedom! She must be an anarcho-tankie secretly!

::: spoiler "Anarcho-tankie": The only place where I saw that term was an western anarchist take that's so bad, it's hilarious. Apparently, "anarcho-tankies" are anarchists who are actually concerned about getting things done and not unquestioningly accepting western propaganda. (Honestly, that's what to be expected of Raddle. I avoid that place, but someone posted a link on the dev instance, and I was too curious not to click... If you want to laugh and/or cry at it too, see: https://web.archive.org/web/20200903171225/https://raddle.me/f/Anarchism/117740/the-disturbing-trend-of-anarcho-tankies-we-ve-been-seeing).

"Good" answer "except" for the "excessive" amount of "quotation" marks.

I know, I also was completely shocked when I found out! :O

Good point about our imagination being limited by living under capitalism. I honestly just never considered that... As far as I know, under socialism, people still have a specialized profession. But you're correct, communism may well be different. Having a more generalist lifestyle is an interesting thought... Could anyone here share any sources to read more about it?

Why does a communist society imply working both on the fields, as engineer and as administration for a few hours each day? (Not like I'd be too opposed to that, I just don't see why it would be like that under communism.

Oh, OK. I just don't see how giving most of its territory to Germany, which is an imperialist power, would change anything about the world elite and the capitalist class. But if it's a response to western proposals to segment Libya, then I understand.

Context? Why did Gaddafi want to give most of Switzerland to the German imperialists? Or is that some kind of meme and I don't understand?

Where's the picture of that rabbit from?

proudly exclaims he doesn’t read theory

OK, I'm not familiar with breadtube, but how on earth does he justify that?

There's nothing wrong about starting with Das Kapital. But most who are just learning about Marxism-Leninism will consider it too difficult and too hard to understand probably — I read the first 4 chapters of Das Kapital so far (then I had to delay further reading because I no longer had the time or energy, I should continue somewhen), and I had to really study it like some people study math, i. e. write out all the important information in points, draw some scheme to visualize it, etc., so not exactly an easy book to start with. I started with Imperialism As The Highest Stage Of Capitalism, it was much easier and still addressed important aspects.

DDR = Deutsche Demokratische Republik = German Democratic Republic

Pompeo, speaking in Philadelphia, singled out property rights and religious freedom as “foremost” principals in a speech that elsewhere complained about the “proliferation” of protections in international agreements related to human rights.

Very telling which rights are most important to a tool of the bourgeoisie.

“No one can enjoy the pursuit of happiness if you cannot own the fruits of your own labor. […]” he said.

Then abolish capitalism? Under capitalism, most of us definitely don't own the fruits of our own labour.

He also criticized The New York Times for its 1619 Project, an award-winning explanation of the persistent legacy of slavery in the United States.

“America is fundamentally good and has much to offer the world because our founders recognized the existence of God-given unalienable rights and designed a durable system to protect them,” he said.

No comment, just :face with rolling eyes: :face with rolling eyes: :face with rolling eyes:

I know. I greatly respect Stalin and what he did for our people. But the word "Stalinist" is used mainly by those who want to discredit Marxism-Leninism and/or didn't properly research that. Especially in comments like the one that I've replied this to. There is nothing in Stalin's theory and practice that says you must ban random users from the /r/communism sub, that comment is just using it as an insult. I haven't heard an actual ML use the term "Stalinism", except maybe to annoy some liberals.

Imagine unironically using the word "Stalinist"... :face with rolling eyes:

Hate against the bourgeoisie is the worst hate, according to the bourgeoisie and its bootlickers.

Sorry for being so clueless, but what is "cancel culture"?
