I think there might be some sarcasm going on there given the tone of the post, and the fact the upshot of it was to propose a vote on whethe the rules should be changed post-reopening to only permit pictures of “John Oliver looking sexy”.

Your recommendation does God’s work. I was not aware of this, and shall be installing it forthwith.

The last time we tried to get the internet to seriously decide on something we got Boaty McBoatface.

And lo, the Internet looked down upon it’s handiwork, and verily, t’was awesome.

All posts in these (business) subs can be advertisements, perfect.

And nobody will ever go there. And, two years down the track, u/spaz will hoik up the pricing or cut them off entirely because they’re making money off of a non-profitable Reddit. “We want to work with the business subs but they’re not interested in talking to us and have all thrown their toys out of the pram and shut down”.

It’s also quite pertinent given the prevalence of feddit.(country code) instances of Lemmy, eg feddit.uk, feddit.de etc.

I’ll bite.

It’s a “skone”. Clue is in the fact it’s spelt “scone”, ie just substitute the K for a C. It it was a skon it would be called a scon.

This is the way.

Ah, now you’re reminding me of the Woolies quandary back in the day. Buy pick and mix or save up for a 1.99 Mastertronic Speccy game. Which were, with one or two exceptions, invariably utter shit. Should have gone for the sugar fix.

I can’t have at it, that’s the problem, that’s what I’m looking for help with. If I try to sign up the progress spinner never stops and there are errors about closed websockets in my browser developer console. That’s what I’m seeking help on.

(in terms of propagation, there are ancient posts in c/cricket@lemmy.ml that I can see via lemmy.world but not on my “home” instance of feddit.uk. In fact on feddit.uk c/cricket@lemmy.ml appears entirely empty and has for several days).

Like I said, I’m already on a different instance (feddit.uk) but the instance I’m on seems a bit flaky. There are communities on other instances that don’t show any content, whereas they do on lemmy.world. I’d heard that lemmy.world was handling the influx of new users quite well in comparison, so thought I’d try to switch.

I’m a bit more cynical, given the circumstances. When I read Red Reader was getting an exception I checked it out and, as a general purpose Reddit app for Android, I found it clunky in comparison to apps like Infinity and Boost. I wonder if that was the actual rationale, i.e. choose an app that’s not as appealing an alternative to the official app so that you can cite it as justification that you are listening to app developers who “do it right” with respect to open source, accessibility etc.

Oh, I do. Often. The pain and blood is so worth it.

Any time I try to go the Kbin web site as a regular end user, it routes through a Cloudflare “are you human?” Captcha. I wonder if this is causing the issue. If I try a similar URL on my instance I get “404: couldn’t find community”, but if my instance is getting the same Cloudflare nonsense back, it would probably explain it.
