Your instance rejects Follow requests from instances not on your ‘Allow list’, which is a pretty small list.

Edit: the list has since been expanded.

That ‘… and you killed Kelnacca’ line sounded a bit crowbarred in to me. Not sure if they even used the same actor for it.

I’m not convinced by the Darth Bortles theory (it’s a fun idea, I just don’t think the physiques match). More likely for the master to be one of the witches. They should have it be Abigail Thorn, just to watch the internet explode.

It depends. It seems like Lemmy batches up its activity to send to remote instances - so, per instance, it sleeps for a bit, then sends what it has. If both a Create and an Update are in the same batch, Lemmy just sends the Update. If they don’t happen to be in the same batch though, it sends both activities.

(this is outsider observation, not insider knowledge)

This is a great list. Note, though, that lemmyverse.net (and by extension, !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl) are less useful at the current moment than before because lemmyverse needs an update before it can crawl the increasing numbers of instances on 0.19.4 or above.

If something is supposed to be cringe, it’s up to the creators to find a way to indicate that to the audience, otherwise it’s taken at face value. Syrill Karn’s speech to Mosk’s troops in Andor is a good example of how to do that.

As for any ‘anti-woke’ sentiment - I’m sure there’s some, but most of the criticism seems to come from people who just straight-forwardly aren’t enjoying the show as much as you. I hope you continue to enjoy it.

I’m guessing that The Acolyte has suffered the same fate as Marvel’s Secret Invasion - in production for an overly-long duration, full of re-writes and re-shoots. So far, it’s resulted in a show that’s a mash-up of individual scenes: some are quite cool, some are oddly shoddy, many of them don’t stand up to much scrutiny.

Review-bombing anything is so self-defeating though: it gives the producers such an easy out, and allows for any legitimate criticism to get folded into the more illegitimate stuff.

‘subscribe to anything’ is handy, too. I’m subscribed to this post, for instance, so get notifications of new top-level comments.

You’re right about the cause: Lemmy’s front-end isn’t giving its backend enough time to do everything it needs to do for an unfamiliar commentary.

It works better if you copy / paste the link into Search. MBin effectively redirects all these links to its Search anyway, so maybe that’s an option.

lemm.ee have upp’d to 0.19.4, and presumably turned on the Image Proxying thing - this is what I get for: https://lemm.ee/post/34040618

The Jedi are known for their disarming nature

Probably.
At one point, Yord mentions her mothers, so I wondered if it was that was part of it too. Female show runner, too, of course. I could probably delve into YouTube and see what’s stirred the bigots up, but I’d rather not get depressed finding out.

Yeah, on some level, I think that’s always been part of the appeal of it - I’ve used it for ages.

Yeah, I think you’re right. And I’ve played KOTOR fairly recently too. I might just be misremembering something from a podcast.

Ha. Fair enough. I’m still of the view that there was some kind of ‘no knives’ rule until recently.

Yep, if you visit London as a Northerner it’s very clear where the money is going. In retrospect, the Northern legs of HS2 were never going to happen - the money saved being diverted to fix London’s potholes was the icing on the cake.

This isn’t really my area, but I’ll have a crack. From what I understand, Lemmy uses the ‘meta og:image’ tag to grab a thumbnail. Inspecting your site, I can see that that tag is in the html head. However, if you just ‘curl’ the URL, then it isn’t in the results. Using ‘curl’ for URLs from sites that are known to work in terms of generating thumbnails (theguardian and bbc), the tag is visible in the result.

This suggests that your site is using further scripting on page load to provide the meta tags, whereas perhaps Lemmy can only get them if they are provided immediately. There are other sites (like Reuters), who use additional scripting, that Lemmy is unable to get thumbnails for also (e.g. https://lemmy.world/post/16203031)

Interesting that that opening fight had both knives and blood - I think there was a time (before Andor) where both those things weren’t really allowed in Star Wars. It felt like nothing that came after really lived up to that. Episode 2 had two writers, joined by the word ‘and’ rather than an ampersand, meaning that they worked on it separately, which doesn’t bode well (the last time I saw that for a TV show was Secret Invasion, and that was rubbish).

It’s okay, good enough to keep watching. It looks like it’s getting review-bombed though, so there must be something about it that’s upset people.

Also, as soon as my stupid brain heard that a character was called Osha, it didn’t stop thinking about Star Wars Health and Safety violations:

Re: sorting posts not working - I don’t know. It looks like you’ve deleted the post you made about ‘sorting of posts not aligned’

Re: communities not updated - I found your GIF hard to follow, but there’s a straight-forward difference between the post list you’re seeing on lemm.ee and on programming.dev, in that the missing posts are all tagged ‘English’. (If you looked at lemm.ee when you’re logged out, you’d see the same list as on programming.dev).
I assume you’ve fixed it now, since this post is in English, but to recreate what lemmy-ui is doing:

#!/bin/bash

show_post=true
lang_id_undefined="0"
lang_id_english="37"

for page in {1..17}
do
  curl --silent "https://lemm.ee/api/v3/post/list?community_id=8024&page=$page&limit=50" |
  jq -rc '.posts[] | .post.language_id, .post.name' |
  while read line
  do
    if [ "$line" == "$lang_id_english" ]; then show_post=false; continue; fi
    if [ "$line" == "$lang_id_undefined" ]; then show_post=true; continue; fi
    if $show_post; then echo $line; fi
  done
  page=page+1
done

The video was recording a VM that had been tunnelled through to with ngrok, so the HTTP details were from that software’s ‘Inspect’ window.

(I don’t know how best to configure your server to ignore the errors, because Rust is too scary, ha ha).

Might just be 'cos LW is currently sending every activity out twice. Video from earlier today: https://imgur.com/a/lX0LPZk

You could probably tail your nginx log in another terminal to see if the journalctl errors match up with 400 errors for duplicates there…

Might not be this, of course (could just be that I saw this earlier, and it’s influencing my thinking)
