I should have thought of this sooner dangit

this is oddly convincing

Ah, it ended up being my language settings for me

Same thing happened on [email protected] from a new test account I created on lemmy.ml. All posts are still visible from other accounts.

This is not possible on the official Lemmy UI and as far as I know no third-party apps or clients support this either. What some third-party apps do support is hiding content based on keywords. If the content that annoys you has some words in common, maybe you could use those keywords in a third-party app to filter it that way?

something like [email protected]/281723 isn’t the best, but would at least make things more consistent across instances and could be formatted by apps and the web UI to look nicer

Yeah you might be right, not sure if migration will require any extra space but it’s possible. Some providers offer very cheap snapshots or backups and you could just make one while you attempt to migrate. If it doesn’t work, it would be easy to revert at least

There’s not much more of an option unless someone else knows of one, but at some point you will need more storage again and object storage is just cheaper than block storage

Media is likely what’s taking up the most space. Pict-rs supports object storage, at the least that would be more cost-effective (usually around $4 per month for 250gb) than scaling up your machine’s disk space

[email protected] will have the option to see your own total score if you wish, and there’s other clients and apps that show you that too. However, it’s virtually impossible to see other people’s scores with how Lemmy works at the moment.

I might be wrong, but I think the general consensus is that showing everyone’s scores would enable a competitive karma culture, and that’s not something a lot of us want.

I’ve seen others mention this as well recently. I think the solution is to delete the post content and details, but leave the thread below it. The post page won’t show up in feeds or search but could still be accessible from user inboxes and by direct link

deleted by creator

I’m trying to make this simpler with [email protected]. Sharing a post, thread, or single comment will always share the original link (canonical link) from the original instance, that way it is the most up-to-date version

Hot is likely just a blend between Active and New to give you a good balance of popular content and encourage engagement with posts that were just posted. The algorithm could definitely be improved, but I’d bet as Lemmy grows in content and content creators Hot sorting will get better too

Each instance has different word filters, thus each community has different filters depending on the instance it’s on. What community were you trying to post on?

For example, you can find the word filter that lemmy.ml uses somewhere on this page here: lemmy.ml/api/v3/site

It’s kinda messy, but it’s after/under “slur_filter_regex” and it’s written in a format called RegEx

There have been some users maliciously posting illegal images to target certain communities recently, thus some instances have removed recent image uploads or have disabled image features in some way. This attack was happening on lemmy.world, but other instances have taken action too. That at least could explain why you’re not seeing some images.

If you have language settings or are not showing bot accounts, those comments will be hidden too but the comment count still includes them
