We’re hoping that v0.18.1 is out within the week or even tomorrow, when we wanted to upgrade.

20·3 years agoYes, copyright and should exist, but only for about ten years, which should be enough time to get rich off it. Afterwards you can just come up with new ideas.

Technology@beehaw.org•First release of my Hive Theme for Beehaw!English
20·3 years agoHey, looks awesome. Maybe you can get in touch with @HrBingR@beehaw.org who made this repository: https://github.com/HrBingR/Lemmy_CSS/
and @UrLogicFails@beehaw.org who created an “official” colour scheme together with me
as well as myself, you can reach me in Discord or Matrix, just send me your respective username in a Lemmy PN and I’ll contact you.
I am one of the backend admins and I’m pretty sure we can make this official somehow. I will talk to the site admins (=moderators, community managers, bosses) about this. I’m sure we would like to have a few Beehaw-specific themes to select for our users.
Pinging @alyaza@beehaw.org @Gaywallet@beehaw.org @Lionir@beehaw.org just FYI about the current state of things

10·3 years agoMaybe we should not federate by default but rather have admins send us an email to request federation, just like users have to send an email with a request to register?
Or not federate by default if the registration is open without requiring an email?

1·3 years agoit’s not about porn, though, as you can’t simply replace the adult content on Tumblr with porn on Twitter, Pornhub etc. – it’s about exploring your sexual identity in a very unique way. I recommend you watch the video.

Technology@beehaw.org•What Happened to Tumblr: Why Adult Content Mattered | Video Essay by Kenz ManganEnglish
1·3 years agoGood point. It’s OK if they do that, but writing comments if you didn’t engage at all with the content apart from the title is useless to everyone involved. I wish people started to understand this.

Technology@beehaw.org•What Happened to Tumblr: Why Adult Content Mattered | Video Essay by Kenz ManganEnglish
1·3 years agovery abbreviated tl;dw: Adult content mattered because people could express and explore their sexual identity, not only LGBTQ+ people but everyone. After that disappeared, the users didn’t want to interact with a corporate site which is trying to exploit them. It went from indie project to Verizon/Oath daughter company.

1·3 years agoWish these were articles, video is so slow.
That’s part of the appeal for me. And that it’s more visual with more pictures than the average article.
But you can also increase the speed to 2x, then it’s faster (:

12·3 years agoLol- i don’t need a video to know blocking porn was the downfall of tumblr.
So you’re saying you watched a 40 minute video in one minute and I shouldn’t have posted it because it’s the only valid point the video makes?
Or did you rather just read the title of the video and assumed that its content was 40 minutes of repeating what was said in the title in long form?

9·3 years agoMy opinion:
There are a lot of lessons we can learn from the downfall of tumblr for the Fediverse aswell. I am glad there are Mastodon communities which welcome explicit content creators. But some of the comments for that video suggest that they aren’t able to connect to people outside of that bubble, since these people’s instances might block NSFW ones.
In addition to that, blocking tags like #abuse is an awesome mental health feature which should definitely be embraced by the Fediverse and Lemmy in particular.





I switched from Franz to Ferdi to Ferdium and then I noticed all it’s doing is creating PWAs in profiles, which made me use Chromium with some cookie deletion and privacy add-ons and just install the applications I needed as PWAs. You can start Chromium with a separate profile and auto open all of the apps which you can’t install as PWAs in tabs, and you can move the tab bar to the left side. Then you basically have Ferdium with extra steps and better efficiency.
