    Admin Settings: What is 'Listing Type'?

    In the admin config, there is a section called 'Listing Type' with options for Local and All. What does this option do? I understand what 'Type' does in a users settings. It's the default for what is shown on the home page. How is this different if it is at all?

  • Read an article about building a Redbox either on the 2600 Usenet group or some other hack/phreak BBS probably around 1993. Went to radio shack the next day to buy the tone dialer and crystal. I messed up the solder pretty bad but it still works to this day. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_box_(phreaking)

    How do I find and join communities on other instances?
  • BenDoubleU BenDoubleU Now 100%

    You can search on your instance in the search area: https://lemmy.ml/search

    You can do a general search if you want or if you know the name of the community you want to sub to, you can search for !community_name@instance.url

    Another great way to simply find a community is by using https://browse.feddit.de/ Search for an interest/community there and then do a search with the community address on your instance like I said above.

  • Why is Lemmy.world getting over moderated as it has been functioning as our r/all equivalent by obvious user choice?
  • BenDoubleU BenDoubleU Now 100%

    I wonder if it's because !lemmyworld@lemmy.world sidebar and rules say:

    This Community is intended for posts about the Lemmy.world server.

    That means announcements from the team, issues you see etc.

    There's so much spam in this community already. People are using it as a catch-all community

    We Are Not Alone: Grusch Interview Discussion
  • BenDoubleU BenDoubleU Now 100%

    This may be the first time I've heard a government official say that these are not be classic "aliens" but may actually be multi-dimensional beings.

    Grusch did lose me a bit though when he said he didn't go to college but was appointed to his position because he knew physics. And the way he talked about it was a bit parochial.

    my first takeaway is that news nation has horrible editors. the commercials and plugs this past week made Grusch sounds kinda dumb. He was well spoken in the actual interview IMO.

    Not that I've seen. Both YouTube TV and Hulu TV have a free trial tho. That's what I'm using and then I'll cancel afterwards.

  • Is Lemmy cross compatible with Kbin?
  • BenDoubleU BenDoubleU Now 100%

    Yeah, that's the biggest thing that turned me away from using kbin. It almost seems like it wants the community/posts from its instance to be the de facto ones. /tin foil hat

  • Is Lemmy cross compatible with Kbin?
  • BenDoubleU BenDoubleU Now 100%

    Yep! I've had issue direct searching for kbin communities here and communities from here on kbin though. I think that kbin federates very slowly.

    Examples:

    One of my favorite hacks! I have a 30’ collapsible and I put a fishing rod end eyelet on the end of the pole. I then attach a double sided carabiner to it and feed the end fed through it.

    So what do you need to talk to a $100 billion space station? As it turns out, about $60 worth of stuff will do.

    Are there any websites that show any awesome graphs or charts for data that lemmy generates? Usage, user signups, post creation, comments, etc...? I have to imagine the fediverse generates some pretty amazing data.
