We walked uphill both ways.

Does PipePipe allow the user to log into their Google account, though?

Other responses have covered the “not without being logged into Google” part, so I’ll just add that if you don’t care about being logged into Google and the thing you want from a front end is Sponsor Block, then yes: YouTube in a browser with the Sponsor Block extension. On Android, the YouTube app w/ Revanced accomplishes the same thing.

I dunno at what school this photo was taken, but in my day, it was not uncommon for students in dorms to have mini whiteboards on their doors so people could leave messages (often in the form of specific private body parts). Mind you, I went to school before everybody had iPhones.

What I believe we’re looking at here is a photo of somebody’s (presumably Joseph Silva’s) door with a mini whiteboard and someone’s (again presumably Joseph Silva’s) contact info, which happens to be a Lemmy user.

The key word here is Lemmy, which would explain why OP shared this photo on !fediverse@lemmy.world.

I started out with Memmy and was kinda meh about it. Not bad but not great. Then I found Voyager and never looked back. As a paid Apollo refugee, Voyager makes me almost forget that I’m on a different platform from the days of yore.

cross-posted

Minor nit pick, but did you know that Lemmy has actual cross posting functionality?

Either way, interesting study. This is the type of content that I Red er… Lemmy for, so thanks for posting. I use Voyager myself, being an Apollo refugee.

Interesting. I wonder if that’s a bug in the Photon app. I use Voyager on mobile. When I tap to create a new post, there is a toggle for link, image, or text.

I’m guessing it’s because you’d selected Link as the post type instead of Text.

Floof mode engaged.

Yes and no. Technically yes because the issue seems only to affect pixelfed.social; however, that happens to be the largest instance iirc. And hash tags are not federated, so one of the main features for discovery that is accessed from the landing page is unusable or broken (has been for months).

Meanwhile, people are out there talking and reading about this cool federated alternative to instagram called pixelfed, perhaps spending a few minutes browsing the site for the largest instance which also happens to have the word pixelfed in the URL, but as soon as they try interacting with it, they bounce off because they clicked on a link hoping to get more nature photos, but got an error instead. 🤷‍♂️

Hmm… that may be the case on some instances (e.g. pixelfed.social), but I know an account is not required on others because I’ve tested it on several instances without registering. The only one it breaks on is pixelfed.social, which unfortunately is also the largest instance.

But still good to know, thanks for pointing that out. It’s too bad the unauthenticated discovery is still broken, though.

It’s a cool concept with a lot of potential, but currently very buggy and incomplete. For example, basic functionality like hash tags need to be fixed and federated for it to be usable IMHO. It has piqued my interest, though, so I might sign up someday if the usability issues are ever addressed.

ability to follow hashtags

Are hash tags working for you? Whenever I click on a hash tag, it takes me to a missing page.

Except that the explore/discover pages aren’t federated, but otherwise, yeah.

Much respect for the creator of Pixelfed for their contributions to the fediverse and all for more fedi alternatives, but please fix basic functionality on Pixelfed first!

How do I know if I’m using sata 3.2/3.3 vs something else?

I have one of these in the 8 TB variant that I use for backup purposes, and I plug it into one of those USB docks, like this one. I have not applied any tape or adaptors and it seems to be working fine.

Check out this article from December about using sponsor block with yt-dlp.

So you’re looking for something like Subreddit Stats for Lemmy communities?

Do you happen to have subscriber data on !caps@lemmy.world?

You mean beneficent?
