I love you.

Just trying to do my part to help non-corporate social media grow!

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am not entirely convinced you’re not a bot. But you get a pass thanks to your top notch content.

you pass the Turin Test of my heart

The Shroud of Turing sounds so badass.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Weird that a city in Italy has a test for this, but cool.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

You are the growth lol

At least one of your posts is always on the front page whenever I check, and more are always shortly after

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're like that one power user on old school forums that you would see everywhere and everyone else would know and respect them lmao

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haha, thank you for the kind words. Everyone has been so nice on Lemmy, and it really keeps me engaged.

Bro is the embodiment of the meme "Doing my part!"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Joined 3 weeks ago, thousands of posts and comments. Holy moly

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My initial account was on lemmy.world, but since making this one on startrek.website, it has far surpassed it. I still hop between them to post whenever one or the other is acting sluggish.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're called symbionts, you fucking racist

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

All I'm saying is if you put two symbionts in front of me, I just can't tell the difference.

Back at you, Cockmaster6000...

Excellent maneuver

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mad respect, I've shared so many of your memes to outerverse folks and realised most of them come from you.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

That's awesome to hear! I can only claim to have made a small % of the ones I post to lemmy, but I've always thought it would be cool to stumble upon one of mine circulating elsewhere one day.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just to be clear, no hate at all for the_picard_maneuver!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I don't hate him either, but I suspect a lot of the memes come from reddit. Not that I care. The memes are dope

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I make OC for lemmy occasionally, but the majority of memes are saved from other sites.

I see it as a doing a little bit of dumpster diving so that lemmy doesn't have to.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's appreciated. There's no way with how prolific you are that you could sustain it if it was all OC.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh god, it would be practically full time. I'm still really slow at making memes, but I'm starting to learn the tricks.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still don't see how what you're doing isn't full-time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It really doesn't feel like too much. I just drop a few memes whenever I find a free minute or two. Usually during the day, but sometimes I go hours or even a busy day without thinking about it.

It means that I'm using lemmy as much as I used to check reddit though, but I'm having fun actually contributing instead of lurking this time around.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They post so fast, they appear to be in two places at the same time.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I love u/the_picard_maneuver but I don't love that I can't just tap their posts to view the image in the browser, have to click the link and leave Lemmy to see them.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (6 children)

You do? Hmm, that's strange... I'm uploading everything through Lemmy directly and haven't been hosting off site.

When I switch to my .world account, it doesn't appear that way to me either. Could anyone more technical take a stab at what might be happening?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The problem is something to do with startrek.website, but it only affects the default UI (Lemmy-UI). I've seen it on a large number of images uploaded on startrek.website but viewed on another instance. It doesn't seem to affect files uploaded to external websites though

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I think it's something about HTTP cross-origin headers that they've configured incorrectly. I'll have to confirm later when I'm on a desktop browser.

Edit: It's actually uBlock Origin blocking the images from loading! There's a rule in EasyList that is matching *.website (it's a lot more complicated of a rule, but that's the gist). It blocks it unless it's coming from one of a few whitelisted pages like lemmy.world.

I found a workaround mentioned here: https://lemm.ee/comment/3068996

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's more complex than I understand so I'll take your word lol

All I know is instances have what look to be old links to media that gets fixed whenever you clear cache

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's what I suspect too.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh interesting... Yeah, I mostly post from Liftoff or Voyager on my phone, so I wouldn't have noticed.

I wonder if the startrek.website admins are aware of the inconsistency.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I think I mentioned it to one of them, but I don't know if they know the extent or if they're just working on it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

No issues for me. Using Memmy.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Doesn't cause it on the sync app for me. All your uploads show up without a website.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

No issues on Jerboa

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Clearing my Firefox cache after adding lemm.ee and startrek.website to my uBlock whitelist fixed the issue. Now I can see your wonderful posts easier!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Great news!!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I assumed it was something to do with lemm.ee's policy with federating images to protect against CP attacks, since everyone else who says they're having trouble is also from lemm.ee. I think what they're doing is just linking to the other instances' images directly, and maybe startrek.website doesn't like that?

I can see your lemmy.world account's posts just fine.

You can fix it by clearing your cache or by using a different client like voyager or photon

Being able to see Lemmy karma scores feels... wrong. But yes, the Picard Maneuver is a treasure

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Not if it gives me that dopamine rush!
