No settings page (as far as I’m aware), but you can use the API to get everything (posts, comments, etc):

step 1: get login token -

curl --request POST \
     --url https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user/login \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '
{
  "username_or_email": "2br02b",
  "password": "YOUR-PASSWORD"
}
'

step 2: use login token (big long string starting with ‘ey’) to get data -

curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user?username=2br02b&page=1' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR-JWT'

Increment page number until you have everything. source: https://lemmy.readme.io/reference/get_user

Voyager has a setting for “No subscribed in All/Local” that does this. It’s better on than off, obviously, but it doesn’t turn All or Local into some kind of goldmine.

I get the sense that, unless you’re willing to do it yourself, feature requests for Lemmy don’t have much chance of being realised.

Wait, what? A user posts a thing to a server, and that thing isn’t then duplicated to 50 other servers … yeah, I don’t see how that can work.

(I’m just kidding - your site looks neat.)

Oh, yeah, cross-posts are great - I think it’s something we’re all supposed to be doing. I wouldn’t say anything usually - just thought this image might raise questions that the creator could perhaps answer.

(sorry to intrude). This has had a few cross-posts on Lemmy. The link that goes to !tails@lemmon.website is attributed to the author of the image, so you can reply to them via that community if you wish.

Yeah it was pretty nifty in lots of ways. Loads of emulators, of course, and doing stuff like compiling apps directly on the device itself was neat.

Frustrating in lots of other ways too, though. I don’t think the Pyra ever really got off the ground, unfortunately.

This was always an impressive emulator - it was originally made for the Open Pandora (an ARM-based mini-computer not much bigger than a DS). It’s always been free for that - it’s just, you know, you’d have to own an Open Pandora (I do!)

Informing a human that their work has already been done for them by a bot is oddly appropriate for this post.

Sorry. Link on post changed to nbcnews. Knew there was something fishy about Business Insider but it looked normal I viewed it.

I changed the link to nbcnews rather than businessinsider - I tested it but the paywall on there is sneaky.

The full memo is:

Dear Vice Team,

As we navigate the ever-evolving business landscape, we need to adapt and best align our strategies to be more competitive in the long term. After careful consideration and discussion with the board, we have decided to make some fundamental changes to our strategic vision at Vice.

We create and produce outstanding original content true to the Vice brand. However, it is no longer cost-effective for us to distribute our digital content the way we have done previously.

Moving forward, we will look to partner with established media companies to distribute our digital content, including news, on their global platforms, as we fully transition to a studio model. As part of this shift, we will no longer publish content on vice.com, instead putting more emphasis on our social channels as we accelerate our discussions with partners to take our content to where it will be viewed most broadly.

Separately, Refinery 29 will continue to operate as a standalone diversified digital publishing business, creating engaging, social first content. As you know, we are in advanced discussions to sell this business, and we are continuing with that process. We expect to announce more on that in the coming weeks.

With this strategic shift comes the need to realign our resources and streamline our overall operations at Vice. Regrettably, this means that we will be reducing our workforce, eliminating several hundred positions. This decision was not made lightly, and I understand the significant impact it will have on those affected. Employees who will be affected will notified about next steps early next week, consistent with local laws and practices.

I know that saying goodbye to our valued colleagues is difficult and feels overwhelming, but this is the best path forward for Vice as we position the company for long-term creative and financial success. Our financial partners are supportive and have agreed to invest in this operating model going forward. We will emerge stronger and more resilient as we embark on this new phase of our journey.

Thank you for your continued dedication to Vice and support during this time of transition.

Together, I am confident that we will overcome any challenges and achieve our shared goals.

Bruce

A meme made in response (not by me):

Manual approval isn’t the only alternative to Open Registration - the main one involves requiring an email address, and/or solving a captcha

It seems a very optimistic viewpoint that, actually, Lemmy would have more content, it’s just that all the people who would be making it are, like, really busy with other stuff right now.

I realise that Lucas has said that the ewoks in Return of the Jedi were representations of the North Vietnamese. If you look at Rogue One, though, Saw’s men are called terrorists, they use IEDs, it’s a desert environment … so the Rebels are, um, ISIS? Who do we want to win again?

Star Wars has always been too flakey to say Rebels are definitely this, or the the Empire are definitely that. It’s popularity, and it’s use by people on any part of the political spectrum as a a recruitment tool, depends on the fact that the US is magically both.

Star Wars is often “Schrödinger’s Political Allegory” - the Empire is British/Roman/German but also American (if Endor = Vietnam, and Jedha = the Middle East), but the Rebels are somehow American too. Whatever side you’re on, you can use Star Wars to cast yourself as the good guy, and the other side as the baddies.

… which many countries don’t have, because ‘First Past the Post’ systems naturally lead to only 2 viable choices.

They’ll also be an election coming up soon in the UK - I can choose between ‘Sensible Conservative’ or the currently ruling ‘Lunatic Conservative’, but anything else would be a wasted vote.

Hmm, you’ve just bridged some content from BlueSky to the Fediverse … Haven’t you heard? We’re supposed to be burning those bridges.

That we know of …

Suggested setting: give up after X number of days if no real person from that instance subscribes. Whoever added the community is free to try again.

Another alternative would be to use .uk (there’s already a lemmyf.uk)
