  • On my very first day on Lemmy, I couldn’t see the comments to most posts. Luckily I found an answer to this problem that was posted over 2 years ago: I forgot to select additional languages to just “Undetermined.”

    I just skimmed over the texts on the settings page and assumed “undetermined” works like with other social media sites: if I don’t select anything, it shows me every language. And as communities are usually formed around a single language, it didn’t seem important. This isn’t the case with Lemmy. Undetermined is its own language, not a wildcard for all languages.

    When users don’t know how multiselect works on desktop web, they probably end up with just one language selected and miss every post that has no language set.

    It’s very strange.






















  • I suspect the majority (not all!) of potential Mac Pro users want it for the form factor. Not because of specific requirements in performance or hardware, but because it looks professional.

    A Mac Mini or Mac Studio could handle everything they can throw at it, but for some people, they look like toys. (Cue to the “THIS is a computer!” scene of “Iron Sky.”)




  • I reported a post and was then reported by mods for “report abuse”. There’s no explanation what this even is. An admin said “when you know, you know”is the whole definition. So I received a few days suspension. But the mods removed the post. Appeal was ignored.

    Now mods and admins are gaslighting everyone into thinking that there’s no problem. Despite there being complaints by multiple people (including some mods) for years now.
