Yeah it was pretty nifty in lots of ways. Loads of emulators, of course, and doing stuff like compiling apps directly on the device itself was neat.
Frustrating in lots of other ways too, though. I don’t think the Pyra ever really got off the ground, unfortunately.
This was always an impressive emulator - it was originally made for the Open Pandora (an ARM-based mini-computer not much bigger than a DS). It’s always been free for that - it’s just, you know, you’d have to own an Open Pandora (I do!)
Informing a human that their work has already been done for them by a bot is oddly appropriate for this post.
It seems a very optimistic viewpoint that, actually, Lemmy would have more content, it’s just that all the people who would be making it are, like, really busy with other stuff right now.
I’m not trying to sound needlessly negative, but I’ve found that it’s also great that they can be turned off. Their utility maybe depends on the types of Communities you hang out in, and I think they’ll be of more value in a few years. Right now, indicating that an account is 1 month old, versus the 3-4 months of most other accounts, is - for me - more of a distraction than anything.
Don’t worry. I’m not in a position to ban anyone from anything. Sorry if it seemed otherwise - I was just warning a fellow user not to be too casual about lemmy.world’s rules. As the community I linked to demonstrated, we can be on other instances, posting to communities on other instances, but if we’re banned by LW, no-one on what’s easily the biggest instance will see what we’re saying.
As for the ‘access all content’ line, it should probably be ‘you can access all content [that your admins allow you access]’.
It all works by every instance copying in communities that their users are interested in, and then every instance merging the results. I commented here, but I never left my server on endlesstalk.org - I commented on endlesstalk.org/c/lemmyworld.world. Similarly, you commented on lemmings.world/c/lemmyworld.world and now we’re both seeing the merged result.
This means that, when an instance is copying something, it’s free to leave out anything it doesn’t like (e.g. stuff from a banned user).
You’ll need to copy/paste this URL to see the difference: https://lemmy.world/c/sciencefiction@lemmy.ml is what LW users see of that community - there’s a lot less there than what everyone else sees at !sciencefiction@lemmy.ml (which, for you, is lemmings.world/c/sciencefiction.ml of course)
You could be banned yes, because it would be https://lemmy.world/u/Kolanaki@yiffit.net that would be kicked. To see the effect of this, compare !sciencefiction@lemmy.ml with lemmy.world’s version of it - https://lemmy.world/c/sciencefiction@lemmy.ml - (all the posts by banned user IzzyData@lemmy.ml are missing)
Just tried. Saved without crashing. It completely logged me out this morning though, so maybe something’s going on
I don’t think catbox.moe has the bandwidth lately.
It works, but it plays slowly (It took 90 seconds to download all 17.5 MB directly, which is longer than the gif lasts).
I’ve been playing around with animated WEBP files. These are much more efficient than gifs (the linked WEBP is about 330KB), but am having a hard time making them work for Lemmy.
Option 1: upload them directly to Lemmy, they get auto-recompressed and then often look like garbage
Option 2: direct-link to external host, Lemmy copies it in and auto-recompresses it with the same effect
Option 3: URL-link to an external host, which then people are reluctant to click
Option 4: Include as an inline link in the body of a post, then it looks like a text post, and support for it is variable among web clients and mobile apps
Weapon of choice:
Love what re-federation got auto-corrected to.
The canonical community is the one at feddit.nl, since it has all the history and I don’t really think it’s .nl’s fault that someone used it to attack .world.
The bot’s due to make one more post at endlesstalk (to announce that the problem is over) and then I’ll think about what to do with the community (probably delete it)
New home: !trendingcommunities@endlesstalk.org
Will probably post to both for a while, until we have some kind of resolution.
For me, being stuck at ‘Subscribe Pending’ does seem to happen for KBIN mags, but it isn’t exclusive to them. Whenever it happens, it does the mad thing of bringing everything though up to the point I tried to subscribe, but nothing after.
To fix it, you can often - but not always - go to the source Mag or Community, and find a semi-recent post from after you subscribed, and copy the absolute link (e.g. https://kbin.social/m/science/t/383186/Visualizing-the-mysterious-dance-Quantum-entanglement-of-photons-captured-in), then go to your instance and post that in the Search field. And then the change the thing your searching for from ‘Communities’ to ‘Posts’, and then wait a bit, and then click the link if it shows up.
This tends to force through the change past ‘Pending’, and from then things will start turning up.
The data could be better if I used the API or added the information from lemmyverse.net on the total subscriber counts but I spent a lot of time on this as is and don’t know how to use the API.
Your approach may have ended up being for the best. lemmyverse.net can’t index lemmy.world (broken DB => broken API => “well, we didn’t want to be part of the fediverse anyway”), and if you’d tried to use their API yourself, it might have totalled your project the same way it did for lemmyverse.

Although it can feel like “A link aggregator for people reluctant to click on external links”
I just saw the same user on the star trek instance, accusing them of being into ‘nerd shit’
It’s doubtful they posted to .world with genuine concerns. They just seem like an agent of chaos.
For Music, I’ve started using Navidrome on my server and Feishin on my desktop (a SubSonic server and client respectively). The music has all been tagged using Beets so there’s a nice display.
For Video, I second the AppleTV 4K with Infuse app recommendation. Just accesses my library using NFS, and gets all the metadata from wherever to show an organised library, with a player that can handle anything.
I can’t remember. It wouldn’t have been for emulation, because I’m never been that bothered about that. I remember it seemed terribly important that I get one, because I paid extra to skip the queue of pre-orders. I ported software directly on the device itself, but - yeah - I think it was mainly for audio/video stuff (using it like a fragile and cumbersome iPod touch)
Wait, what? A user posts a thing to a server, and that thing isn’t then duplicated to 50 other servers … yeah, I don’t see how that can work.
(I’m just kidding - your site looks neat.)
