The way that all the copies of the content link to the original post should be some kind of SEO hack. I wonder if it’s triggering specific rules in search engines that detect it and downrank it as cheating.

Or scrambled all of their posts after APIgate (or whatever we’re calling it). Perhaps they came here, which means OP is right in saying we can be a new source of useful answers.

So they’ve just decided that all devices now support HEVC (H.265) and they’ll just disable transcoding? My media centre is on a Pi 3B and that can’t play h265 smoothly. If I had a Synology I’d be pretty annoyed!

Your argument is that a single backup is sufficient? I disagree, and I think that so would most in the selfhosted and datahoarder communities.

Ah, so it’s not even possible with a different front-end (unless it stores extra data).

Yes, you can go to your profile and click on “Saved” to see your starred posts/comments.

One annoying thing is that it’s sorted by the original posting date, not the time you saved it, which might mean your most recently saved item isn’t even on the first page of results.

It’s an increase in reported monthly users, as now activity like voting is also considered, not just posts/comments.

Yup, and with @notthebees’ idea of taking photos as a backup you’ve got what you need.

Having a computer-based one that’s the source of truth (and perhaps accessible online) does make sense, although I suspect this is too niche to exist already.

I know these are famous last words, but this doesn’t sound too difficult to knock up yourself, assuming you know kung-fu coding.

It turns out that people on Lemmy are no better responsibly using a downvote button than anywhere else. I think you should have to at least select a reason why you’re downvoting to add some friction - maybe options something like “I don’t like this”, “I disagree”, “This is factually incorrect”, “Spam”, “Abusive language”, etc. Then you can filter out the first two!

Yup, the software is patched to not allow e in usernames or posts (apart from in URLs). Expressing yourself without using any word involving e is a fun challenge, and often you think you succeeded until the validation tells you off.

https://oulipo.social/ is a custom Mastodon that forbids that fifth alphanum symbol in its toots. That is, using a,b,c,d is ok and any of f,g,h up to z is also ok and also digits and punctuation but that’s all.

This post would pass its validation.
