My first thought as well. Should have called it Diabetes Jelly.

Hot and active are currently broken and will show stale content. It’s a Lemmy thing not a Jerboa thing. I’m hoping they fix this in the upcoming version that’s in testing right now.

I’ll plug my own podcast, Find the Path. We get a lot of feedback that people really like our roleplay and how we aren’t a “comedy” podcast. We have a few different shows that cover different genres. We play Pathfinder 1st and 2nd edition but you don’t need to know the rules to enjoy the show.

I recommend starting with Hell’s Rebels since it’s our most polished public show. Link to it all is on our website https://find-path.com

That game HAS to be played with headphones or a super good surround sound. The directionality of the voices in Senua’s head is next level.

Gacha games completely turn me off. I just hate random loot boxes or other gimmicks to get you to spend money for the chance at getting something neat.

Diablo 4 with my wife. Double Necromancer party is just chaos.

There are a few I found in Github here: https://github.com/topics/lemmy-bot. This one looks like it’s a pretty generic bot: https://github.com/SleeplessOne1917/lemmy-bot

There is an API for Lemmy, though the easiest way to make a bot would be to use one of the official libraries to talk to Lemmy: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy#libraries

I’m not saying we shouldn’t be able to hard delete comments, I’m just explaining why the Lemmy developers might not have started with hard-deleting comments. I agree with you we should have the option and it should propagate regardless of any instance settings.

My point in mentioning other servers not deleting your comments is that ActivityPub is an open standard. Technically someone can write a Lemmy competitor that federates with your instance and does not implement the hard deletion of comments. It’s allowable under the protocol. That doesn’t mean the feature isn’t worth implementing, it just means there are caveats to “this comment disappears off the Internet forever” like we’d like.

I would love to have tags added that I could search at across instances. So looking up #animalpics might be all the communities that post pictures of animals

Then add to that the ability to follow that tag like you can on Mastadon and that would solve some of the “Super Community” asks.

Yeah my #1 issue is how hard it is to find communities to follow. I think it’s why so many communities are just started on lemmy.ml since it has the best chance to get users on there or Beehaw.

Software engineer here. Historically we started not hard-deleting anything because sometimes software does bad things and we never want to accidentally delete anything that could be important since then the only way to undo it is to restore the database from a backup. So it’s better/safer to literally not allow the application to ever delete anything from the database.

That being said, I could see an option in ActivityPub to delete comments, but with the distributed nature of Lemmy you would have to trust every server you federate with to listed to the protocol and delete the comments too since they are stored on the other servers as well.

Honestly it runs like native. Only thing I had to do is set the resolution in the options to not be 4:3 and instead be 16:9 and it runs flawlessly.

If you have any questions about getting set up, the Find the Path discord server has a TON of experienced GMs who love to talk shop. Link to it is on the top right of https://find-path.com

I followed all their communities on my server as well since I know a ton of Pathfinder fans who listen to my podcast :D

Not to mention them being HUGE physically and sucking down a ton of power. And the whole fire thing that hit the news that made a lot of people decide to wait.

HIya! I jump around a lot but today I started playing Warhammer 40K Space Marine again in preparation for the release of the sequel. Before that I’m working through Daemon x Machina to scratch the Armored Core itch I have waiting for AC6.

I could see a good use case for having at least a centralized, cross instance search where the instances will send up community information to the service and then the service shares it out with everyone. Rather than make a new community on my instance I could find the active community and federate it.

Then again the same thing happens on Reddit for popular topics. Like when a new game is announced there might be 5 people trying to start the subreddit for it.

No for one simple reason: I have a wife. We like to experience content together (watching movies/TV, playing games). None of which I can do without not one but two of these things. No thanks.

I’m GMing Quest for the Frozen Flame currently. It’s a super fun AP so far. We’re in the last third of the first book.

“Relax, you’re just making pasta.”

I used to be a person with massive anxiety for perfectionism. I never wanted to make a mistake, no matter how small. Thanks mom!

I went with my now-wife to Italy several years ago and we did a cooking class. I was learning to make pasta and trying to make the egg well as perfectly round as possible, and the chef teaching us told me that. Weirdly it struck me as super obvious, and it helped me frame my anxiety in a better light. It helped me figure out my anxiety wasn’t realistic, and eventually lead to therapy and medications to help.

Now, I use this phrase at work all the time to remind my teams of software engineers at work that it’s alright if something isn’t working. We don’t work with medical systems or nuclear plants. Bugs won’t cause the end of the world, so it’s not worth panicking over. We’re just making pasta.
