I learned to play the guitar growing up as a young rapscallion in Mississippi. But things didn’t really take off until I moved to Memphis. There I met the Colonel and the hits just kept coming. Unfortunately, the fame went to my head, I gained a lot of weight, started wearing a white jumpsuit, and ate tranquilizers like they were trail mix. Then, in 1977, I died on the toilet.
Or did I?
I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

Fediverse@lemmy.world•There should be an indicator when an instance no longer federates with a community besides posts no longer loadingEnglish
1·3 months agoAdded :) I also disabled the “Create Post” button if the community is on a defederated instance even though, technically, you can still post to your instance’s local copy (it just won’t federate).
Edit: This only works one way. i.e. it can only know if your instance is defederated from the community’s. If the community’s instance is defederated from yours, there will be no indicator because there’s no way to do it without a remote lookup which is both unreliable and inefficient at scale.

1·3 months agoYou mean like if there’s a community called
!cats@example.comand your home instance no longer federates with the instanceexample.com?If so, I’ll add that to Tesseract as it sounds useful.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Do you think the mostly limited range of political views is a *strength* or a *weakness* of Lemmy? (For example, in terms of attracting new users.)English
1·1 year agoI don’t care so much about the range of political views, just the quantity of them.
Too many people on Lemmy make their political ideology their entire identity, and it’s just freaking exhausting.
Can we not just be people talking to other people about cool stuff? I just get sick of political ideologies masquerading as people.



In a sane world, this would be a “You’ve won a free boat! Claim your prize at the police station” trap, but such is not the world we’re living in.
