  • I’m using wefwef and I switched back and forth between wefwef, memmy and mlem.
    Here are some things I considered:

    • Inline images are shown in posts(instead of linked to at the end): mlem, wefwef
    • Opening images and zooming them: memmy, wefwef
    • saving images: memmy (Edit: wefwef too since on of the latest updates)
    • Adjustable text size: memmy, wefwef
    • compact view is actually compact: wefwef, mlem (Edit: memmy too since the latest update)
    • jumping to comments from your inbox: wefwef , Memmy(kind of, shows comment chain of that specific post, but not highlights the comment and has no way of switching to all comments from there)
    • edit comments: wefwef, memmy

    As you can see, wefwef is present in all of these ^^ jumping to comment is a pretty big one for me, aswell as the inline images


  • But it does.
    Example: You’re on lemmy.world. Let’s say lemmy.world defederates lemmy.ml today.

    Now you won’t be able to see any new posts made by users of lemmy.ml, be it on lemmy.ml itself or on any other instance. You will still see everything that was posted up until the defederation though because defederation just means that your instance won’t request new copies of the content of lemmy.ml .
    And they also can’t post stuff on comunities of lemmy.world(I believe they technically could do that, just that nobody could see it, but it may be that by now it’s entirely blocked to even make a post there).

    Now as long as lemmy.ml doesn’t defederate lemmy.world too, their users will still be able to see your comments and may also reply to your comments on other instances, but you won’t see that.

    So defederation mainly serves two purposes for the users of the instance that defederates another instance:

    1. Their users won’t see any content from comunities of those instances in their “all” feed and also won’t see any posts from users of that instance in the comment sections of any comunity of any instance.
    2. Users of those instance won’t be able to post on their instance.








  • I’ve tried to reproduce the steps aswell and it’s kinda tricky because some of the combinations that didn’t work are now just working and I don’t know why.

    A way to reproduce it on my end that seems to be pretty reliable so far:

    Lemmy language set to browser default and browser set to english, everything works. (I can also set browser default, english, german, doesn’t matter).
    Set browser language to german while Lemmy is set to english and restart browser (I’m using chrome btw) Still everything is working.

    Now switching back to browser default has it also working as long as I stay on the site. I can refresh the feed by clicking on the lemmy logo, view posts, go back via the lemmy logo etc.
    But once I refresh the entire site through chrome, it stops working and I have to change the browser language to english again to set it back up. (It even showed my username at the top right as “Tankon” instead of “Taxxor” for one refresh, the next refresh had the login and sign up buttons, then it was “Taxxor” again on the next^^)

    The shorter way would be to have Lemmy set to browser default while having the browser set to english end then switch the browser to german.
    But I thought the scenario above where I can still use the site after setting it to browser default as long as I don’t do a full refresh might be of interest to see what the issue might be.

    I have this problem on two different systems.


  • Hey, I got the issue that was posted here for rc1 https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1657

    using apps like Mlem or Memmy works fine, but the browser just shows everything empty and the UI is not responding to anything. Switching the browser language to English like suggested in the github issue solves this, but using my standard browser language(german in my case) doesn’t work.

    Edit: Well a workaround was to switch my broser language to english, so that everything was working, then change the language in the lemm.ee settings from “browser default” to german(note that it was "browser default the entire time and this site was always english with 0.17.4 despite my browser being german).
    Now it’s working with my browser set to german, and it even keeps the language german when I change it back to “browser default”. But when I set it to english, it’s no longer working. Then I have to change my browser language to english again.
