    I wonder if they'll replicate the feature where a strange voice whispers your name (amongst other odd sounds) if you're playing in the early hours.

    Scared the crap out of me when that happened.

    How about you assume less? I spent 40+ minutes looking for this here, here, here and here and I'm already fairly familiar having done work on two other ActivityPub based projects.

    In addition public-addressing (or the lack of use thereof) in no way claims to achieve what you've stated - which is probably why it's not the answer to my query.

    All votes are public, they're literally broadcast to the Fediverse writ large. You vote on something on your server, your server then tells the server owning the thing you voted on and that server then tells anyone who is interested (subscribers on other servers). That way everyone knows that this comment was voted on, but that information is indelibly tied to you - an entity on the Fediverse.

    Lemmy devs just chose not to a) show that information in a UI (plenty of other software out there does) and b) not inform people that was the case. Which leads to the whole point of the thread, hiding this from users merely gives a false sense of security.

    You say that, but you simply have to be using something that isn't Lemmy and that information is there (doubly so if you're an admin on any of these systems)

    Except, if you're using anything other than Lemmy at this point that information is already about. The Likes/Dislikes are considered public information by the protocol. Lemmy devs probably just didn't get around to building out the UI for that before the Reddit APIcolypse.

    but humanity is evil too

    Emphasis on this. We humans have become Xenophobic Christofascists* turned up to 11. All aliens are bad** and anything against established doctrine is heresy of the highest order. Human labour is essentially free vs the gross expense of materiel so the leadership will think nothing of having entire generations of a planet mine out some toxic substance that kills before you age much past the ability to outbreed it.

    In short, anyone who claims humans are the good guys, is misguided at best.

    It's the multiple volumes that are throwing it.

    You want to mount the drive at /media/HDD1:/media or something like that and configure Radarr to use /media/movies and /media/downloads as it's storage locations.

    Hardlinks only work on the same volume, which technically they are, but the environment inside the container has no way of knowing that.

    It's unfortunate that (at least on the Bluesky side) an attempt at following a person doesn't result in them getting a DM asking for that to be ok.

    With a small amount of effort and the use of https://github.com/nanos/FediFetcher and https://github.com/g3rv4/GetMoarFediverse you can mitigate basically all those issues. It's still not perfect by any means but it results in a perfectly usable single user instance.

    The first populates the replies of the home timeline posts you see (as well as profiles of people it finds in those replies) and the second pulls down all the content from instances you select for your followed hashtags (choose mastodon.social and you can guarantee you'll see most all posts with those tags)

    New server (new admin), couple of questions

    Why, when I search for a community my instance is not yet aware of, does it sometimes not bring back any posts in that community? This community is in example of that. Most new additions will redline the CPU but then come back with a populated page for the community. Sometimes that doesn't happen and no amount of purging and retrying will cause it to. I'm currently unable to subscribe to anything on Beehaw. I just get subscription pending and there is no content sent my way. Statistically they're also more likely to encounter no. 1 above. Can I fix this?
