It’s not super common, but I have seen sites in Germany that use Ümläüts in their domains. It’s not usually the primary domain, but they get used.

I think it really depends on the music scene. I have not once read their blog in my 13 years of using BC. I just checked it, and it’s okay, but I don’t feel like I’ll be missing something without it.

That’s why I downloaded everything as FLAC. But I’m saying quality of playback does not go into it ;)

Epic sold it last month, they kept it barely a year

Yes, I also did so before :D The only thing I changed, was that now I downloaded the FLAC files instead of only ogg.

I don’t have a 1k€ sounds system, so there is no difference in quality for me.

I did, just not in FLAC.

Same since 2010, but most of it was ogg files, so I’m currently downloading everything as FLAC for proper archival.

How so?

I didn’t even know they sold them again :( I thought there was a chance that Epic would be a good steward, but now a random music licensing company?

Apparently the biggest in the world, but B2B …

Anyway, might as well mention the bandcamp collection downloader in case anyone needs all their FLACs.

edit: It’s done. 110 albums/EPs for 40.5 GB of FLACs, took around 20 minutes. In case anyone wants to peek into my library (mainly if you are into folk or extreme metal): My collection

0.15 o.O

0.4€ for me :(

From Troubleshooting:

How can I check the logs?

You can use this command to see a live feed of logs docker compose -p lemmy-easy-deploy logs -f

need to cd ./live first

There’s a surprising amount of subscribed users even. They are all just very quiet :/

OTOH, discoverability sucks and requires using external tools, so I’m not sure exclusion really helps.

While I’m at it, in case any folk metal fans read this: Please join [email protected], I’m feeling very lonely 99% posting by myself ;)

But I would be lying if I didn’t mention that at least part of my reason for being here is to have a chance at being a part of something that has a positive impact on the world. Wanting to spite reddit is definitely a part of it, but there is also a large part of my motivation that comes from my fantasies about what Lemmy could one day become, which don’t really have anything to do with reddit.

Very well said and some much-needed positivity after my dark POV :D You are, of course, right. It’s not all bad and horrible, and there are a lot of things I enjoy here as well, and there are good discussions.

There are quite a few fair points in there, it’s not as if this is some dumb nonsense.

Another impression I have is that on Reddit, idiots are mainly in large communities. But on Lemmy there is far less content, so they also troll through the all feed, which has all kinds of small communities where those people then have an outsized effect. I think that is part of the reason why the general level of discussion on Lemmy feels closer to big reddit communities than to small ones.

Additionally, if they got to experience the fascists from hexbear (not quite sure what lemmy.world does, www.hexbear.net is federated, hexbear.net is blocked…), that also doesn’t exactly make for intelligent discussions.

And finally, smaller reddit subs have far saner voting. Here on Lemmy there’s a lot more “I don’t understand this, so I’m downvoting because replying would require using my brain”.

Lemmy has a lot of issues and the only reason I persevere, is because I’m a glutton for punishment and simply hate Spez even more.

Changelogs on chat systems make people chat less, not more.

I don’t see how. People can be assholes with or without editing. And I absolutely disagree that it would make Lemmy less inviting, people being assholes does, not accountability.

I actually disagree with almost every point of your post.

The increased hosting cost is a drop in the bucket unless you expect people to heavily edit posts all the time, I don’t think only 1 in 10,000 edits is more than a typo. It neither invites normal users nor mods to abuse anything, and I don’t see an important feature as clutter.

Editing a post may be to remove the password you accidentally copy pasted in

With federation even more than normally, anything you accidentally posted is now public. Not only can’t you be sure your edit federated anywhere, any server can just decide to keep a history even without this feature being in mainline-lemmy.

It was closed by a maintainer/dev of the Lemmy repo

But it’s open?

edit (heh): Ah, I think you meant the backend issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3803
