As far as I know Lemmy stores only text locally and images and such will be linked to the external instance. Text doesn’t use much disk space, so that shouldn’t be a big a problem. Sometimes when you browse Lemmy, you notice posts that have broken links to images. It’s because the other instance is down, but you can still see the text portion of the posts on your home instance.

There’s also pornlemmy.com. You don’t need to be logged in to view posts and there’s no anime/hentai or aigen stuff.

Did you just ask that has Reddit ever given anything back to their volunteers, besides sticks, rocks and ill will?

r/Blind is still a valuable resource for many people. No sense denying people access to it. r/Blind mods already created a Lemmy instance which they try to promote for their members. But learning new software can be challenging when you can’t see, especially if the software isn’t very accessible.

Someone needs to start a “campaign” for naming and shaming companies who advertises on Reddit. “[This company] supports a company that actively discriminates against the disabled. #SayNoToReddit”

Make sure that your changes actually “sticks”. There are multiple reports of people trying to delete or edit posts, only for them to come back soon after. It seems that deleting isn’t possible and when mass editing posts, there needs to be long enough delay (5 seconds or so) between each edit.

Random fact of the day: The hard thing at one end of a banana is not a seed, the tiny dark speckles throughout a banana are seeds.

Isn’t it so that if you play hardcore mode (your character dies permanently), and you disconnect for any reason, your character is considered dead? Online only requirement goes really well for that kind of game mode, where it might be the server that falls offline, and not your PC…

There’s been some reports that Reddit is removing posts that say “fuck u/spez” or have some picture of spez.

Also moderators aren’t allowed to comply with the results of those votes that some subs have held recently. So, if they change their sub to private or restricted, they break some rule, even though their users wanted that. And if they open the sub to rules voted by their users, they also break some rule.

r/Blind mods created their own Lemmy instance at https://rblind.com/. They use some beta features and their own modifications to make it more accessible.

Well this turned ugly fast.

Huffman, also a Reddit co-founder, said he plans to pursue changes to Reddit’s moderator removal policy to allow ordinary users to vote moderators out more easily if their decisions aren’t popular. He said the new system would be more democratic and allow a wider set of people to hold moderators accountable

Some people use laptops for doing mobile work, and in some cases that work requires computing power and possibly external peripherals which might require power from the computer. And, of course, games are power hungry.

Higher wattage chargers can also charge the battery faster. Lithium batteries, regardless of their size, can be charged to full in one hour (but it’s recommended for full charge to take about 1.5 to 2 hours to not wear down the battery). The bigger the battery the more wattage you need to charge it that fast. Especially if you are using the computer at the same time.

I think one reason is that Bethesda’s previous game’s, Fallout 76’s, release didn’t go very smoothly. Not at all smoothly. Internet Historian has a good video about that: The Fall of 76
