  • Seen, ty for the ping

  • That part of your username cannot be changed because it's part of federation. It's like if you wanted to change your email address -- you kinda just have to make a new one.

  • Yep! From the site's global sidebar:

    Q: Is there a good mobile app?

    A: Yes, you want any app that supports Lemmy – there are a lot of them out there. I’m personally trying out Eternity on Android. For iOS, people are liking mlem.

  • Looks great man. Support surfaces could maybe be dialed in a touch better, and your stringing definitely points to a retraction or drying issue, but the part looks pretty solid.

  • Did you mistype your password the first time and then try to sign in immediately afterward? I've seen that trigger the rate limit sometimes; I just bumped it higher to compensate because it's kinda fuckin' annoying.

  • I mean, you can browse it on your phone if you really want to, but it's the https://old.reddit.com/ UI. More suitable for desktop usage.

    To be clear: this is just a different way to access the same set of forums.

  • Yep, went down just yesterday. Really showcases how important a federated, resilient platform is.

  • When we were taken down the first time or the second time?

    Because now we're down /r/fosscad and /r/fosscadtoo lol

  • Like the interface is better or you get more relevant results?

  • I'd love to be rid of lemmy-ui, won't lie.

  • There's photon, which isn't reddit but is way slicker than the lemmy-ui frontend we're using now:

    I just wish it didn't have that one showstopper bug of giving users false errors on signup.

  • Honestly? Anything that fits and pushes the takedown bar up. That takedown bar just needs to be in the way of a lug on the barrel during assembly; the spring has no other job than to ensure that.

  • Friendly reminder to all those involved: DMs over Lemmy are not private. Negotiate any PII over another medium.

  • Preciate u dawg, I think I saw you responding to damn near every post for a minute there.

  • I'm prayin' man

  • You'd think "not getting booted off the platform" and "we have a full backup of the old subreddit" would've been good enough reasons to tough it through a mildly-inconvenient setup process.
