SatyrSack@feddit.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do I use a proton e-mail for Lemmy?English6·3 months agoYeah, I cannot find it documented anywhere. Which is probably on purpose, to avoid malicious actors finding out ways to bypass it. But you can find plenty of users on Reddit and whatnot complaining about how they are not getting registration emails for whatever services in their new Proton email accounts, then it suddenly works just fine when they try again ten days later.
SatyrSack@feddit.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do I use a proton e-mail for Lemmy?English6·3 months agoIs your Proton account new? I believe Proton automatically filters out verification emails like that until the account reaches a certain age. As a means of restricting users from creating an anonymous throwaway Proton account to use just to sign up for another service to abuse it. Verification emails will not appear in your spam/junk/deleted folder or anything. You will just not receive them in any way at all. I am not sure how many days it takes for that restriction to be automatically lifted.

My dad says butane is a bastard gas
SatyrSack@feddit.orgtoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•How do you embed GIFs within Lemmy?English2·4 months agoAny time I’ve tried uploading them, they are converted to jpg files. The only way I’ve been able to include them is by referencing images that are already hosted somewhere.
I know that some instances have server-end logic in place to downscale uploaded images, or convert GIFs to WEBP, etc to reduce file size. I wouldn’t be surprised if your instance just converts all GIFs to a static JPG for some reason.
You can see that from the modlog via Dubvee
That instance has always (to my knowledge) had a hard-line extremism stance, and they take proactive measures to prevent anything borderline from being federated to the instance.

SatyrSack@feddit.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I have a Kindle, but it doesn't scroll and I'm a scroller. Anybody got an Android app that scrolls ebooks really well? Preferably open source and able to access the web (where my library resides)?English31·6 months agoIt could definitely have been acquired before they understood/cared about that.

I have not found a way to get rid of the blank newline between each “page”, but it’s still better than turning pages.

SatyrSack@feddit.orgtoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•[SOLVED] When creating a post, how does the "Thumbnail URL" option work exactly?English2·7 months agoI do not see any documentation, but here is the pull request for the feature that was added in v0.19.4
SatyrSack@feddit.orgtoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•[SOLVED] When creating a post, how does the "Thumbnail URL" option work exactly?English2·7 months agoIf the URL being posted is anything other than an image, yes. If the URL being posted is a video, an article, an MP3, whatever. If you don’t want to leave it up to Lemmy to try to grab a thumbnail do display for the post, you have the option to expicitly specify the thumbnail image to be used.
On the other hand, if the URL that you are posting is itself an image (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WEBP, whatever), you might notice that the “Thumbnail URL” field disappears. Because Lemmy will use the image you are posting as the thumbnail.
SatyrSack@feddit.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you think got way too much hate than it should've?English2·7 months agoAlso Korn’s dubstep album. Not every song was a hit, but there were quite a few bangers on that track list. Get Up got me into dubstep and still goes hard.
I just listened to it again, and it is definitely not as good as I remember it being. I was a fan of it, but I can definitely see how fans of either Korn or dupstep would have disliked it. “Get Up!” in particular is still just as good as I remember, though!
SatyrSack@feddit.orgOPtoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•Can I, as a user, make my instance fully federate everything from a community on an instance that it is federated with?English1·7 months agoGreat information, I appreciate it!
Given that, I don’t really see the point, other than trying to a completist about stuff.
Considering this is just a silly community about a TV show that ended a decade ago, I absolutely agree. But, hypothetically speaking, could it be possible to fully sync, votes and all? Given some important community where vote counts actually did matter for some reason, could admins from both instances coordinate with each other to manually query their respective databases to get historical posts, comments, upvotes, and downvotes synchronized?
SatyrSack@feddit.orgOPtoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•Can I, as a user, make my instance fully federate everything from a community on an instance that it is federated with?English1·7 months agoHowever, what you can do is find content that you want to interact with on the remote instance, copy the URL and then search for that URL on your server. That will pull that content and its context to your instance.
Neat! Though it does not pull all context, just the “upstream” context. Meaning that if I search a post’s or comment’s URL, it will not pull in comments below it. But if I search a low-level comment, it will pull in all parent comments from that comment chain as well as the post itself. And, like another commenter mentioned, it will not pull in the votes.
EDIT: On second thought, what I call “upstream context” is probably what Lemmy technically considers simply “context”, isn’t it?

Agree. For things like semantic versioning, in which “1.20.1” and “1.2.1” are two different things, you want to pronounce them “one point twenty point one” and “one point two point one”, respectively. But that is a bit of an outlier. File size should be pronounced “normally”, because “1.20” and “1.2” are the same value.
