Maybe something like taskrabbit? Could pay them to pick it up, then send it through a courier.

Thunder has an option to dim read posts.

I recommend downloading it from f-droid if you want full functionality (like self-hosted sync) for free – the one in the play store is monetized (however I do recommend donating to the dev if you don’t want to pay the subscription fee).

Does your network not support UPnP? You shouldn’t normally need to port forward in order to seed a torrent, unless your network prevents NAT traversal.

The 2022 remaster of Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles (spotify) has lots of sounds that pan left and right, but they may not be the kind of “rapid panning” that you are talking about.

That’s because, currently, the community stats that you see in the sidebar are only from your instance – community stats are currently not federated. Afaik, federated community stats are going to be implemented in 0.19.

Hm, while that does seem to fit, it feels as if its intent doesn’t necessarily align. To me, that is more of a description of it’s purpose rather than what it does.

I’d probably tighten the first one to “It is a thing that produces stuff.”

That omits descriptive information though. The example includes the fact that the thing “works” which is how it “produces stuff”.

Maybe it’s a dialect thing?

It is certainly a grammatical issue.

Deletion not federated yet, then.

After some testing, It might be that the parent commenter just deleted their comment which nuked all the child comments. I can’t rememeber if this is what Reddit does. I think it just sais “Deleted by creator”, but keeps the children. Could certainly be wrong, though.

Yup it appears that our entire comment chain got nuked. So it is now confirmed that if you delete the parent, then all children get removed as well.

For any reading this message, the context is that we tested it by me replying to OP’s previous comment, then OP responding to me, then I deleted my comment to see if their comment also got deleted.

I have deleted the previous message

and see people upvote their own comment.

Upvoting one’s own comment is default behaviour on Lemmy. When a user makes a post, or comment on Lemmy, it gets automatically upvoted by that user.

Well, that doesn’t bode well.

I have little to comment on regarding the motivation for your post – I am not up to date with what’s happening in the EU – but, for an encrypted messaging-app alternative to Signal, I can recommend Matrix.

Xournal++

I caution mentioning both Matrix, and Element as if they are synonymous – they are not (I’m quite certain that that wasn’t your intent, but the usage of the forward slash could be interpreted as such). It may lead to confusion for newcomers. It would essentially be the same as saying “I recommend ActivityPub/Thunder” to someone who you want to introduce to Lemmy. Matrix is the protocol, and Element is simply a client that interacts with the Matrix protocol.

I personally think that it’s sufficient to recommend Matrix if one is mentioning chat-app alternatives. Of course, nothing is stopping one from also recommending a client, but I don’t believe that it’s entirely necessary.

This isn’t necessarily about the sheer size of population, and has more to do with birth rates, but this Kurzgesagt video also outlines well the need for a higher birth rate.
