I was thinking about this recently… By going to a federated system, one that essentially copies all of your content from one instance to another, when you delete a comment, does that comment get deleted on every instance? Is that even possible?

So, let's say you have accounts on multiple instances. And let's say you use each account separately and none of them you consider your "home" instance yet. It would be cool if there was a web app that could allow you to login to each of the instances, and it would gather your message inbox into one inbox, and allow you to reply to each message from the instance account that it was attached to. Or to switch accounts if you want to start using a single instance as a "home" instance. Does that make any sense? Like, I've got separate accounts on Lemmy.ml, Lemmy.world, Lemmy.one. Beehaw.org, etc. and I've been logging in separately to each of them because I don't have all the community subscriptions synced between them all yet and I'm not sure which one I want to use as my home instance. So it would be cool to be able to login to a single web app and see my reply inboxes from each instance.

Discuss!

Hi there... I'm not sure if this is just because lemmy.ml is overloaded right now or what, but if I'm on a different instance and I want to subscribe to a community that lives on lemmy.ml, then when I hit the "subscribe" button, nothing happens. When I hit it again, it gives me this yellow "subscribe pending" button:  Is there a queue that the request goes into on the parent instance or something? Or do I just have to wait until traffic dies down to subscribe?

I really wish there was a way to setup a new server system that allowed people to play it online again.

Hi guys, I heard some news about DC doing another reboot of the universe and restoring it to pre-crisis (like, pre-original crisis on infinite earths) status, so I decided to get back up to speed on the current goings-on, since I kind of dropped off after New 52. I decided to pick it back up after researching what that whole Metal thing was about. I read Death Metal (which was NUTS and awesome), and now I'm moving on to New Frontier, I think. Hopefully I get caught up soon. What are your impressions of DC lately?

Where's the rule? I don't see no rule.

Hi guys! First of all, I just want to say thank you again for creating such a great platform. I'm really loving it here, and I hope that I'm not being a pest to anyone. (Please let me know if I'm rubbing you the wrong way and I'll do my best to right my wrongs.) Anyway, I've noticed something on comment replies.... These two links on comment/post replies in your inbox:  On both of them, the tooltip says "Show Context" but the first one (the link one) actually is the one that shows the context and the second one (the colorful one) is more of just a permanlink to the comment. Shouldn't the tooltip say "permalink" on the colorful one?

Weezer GuyDudeman • 1 year ago • 100%

I've been a fan of Weezer since Blue album (with a small hiatus in the early 00's when Hash Pipe and Island in the Sun were being overplayed on the radio)... But I have to say... everything they've done has just gotten better and better. I think they're producing their best music right now. The Seasons albums were fantastic, in my opinion. I'm just so happy they're still making amazing music.

I just hate having qualifying and the races spoiled by headlines. I know this is "me" problem, but I can't be the only one, right?

Is there anything in the pipeline that will enable sorting the communities in the Community list by the columns they have listed there?

Leftist Infighting GuyDudeman • 1 year ago • 75%

Hi there! Welcome to one and all! And I mean that - all factions are welcome here. As long as you're respectful and in good humor. If any conversation devolves into anger, it will be removed, and the users banned for a period of time to cool off. Please keep it light in here. Serious discussions are allowed, but don't get sanctimonious or belittling. Always consider that the other person you're talking to is here in good faith and wants a common goal. We may disagree on tactics, but ultimately we all want to live in a society of wellness for all, and we should work together for that goal.

Mlem for Lemmy GuyDudeman • 1 year ago • 100%

Hi all! I've gotten permission from [@lFenix@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/u/lFenix) to start a thread here about changes to the logo/identity system for mlem. This is the current mlem logo:  To start with, I have some thoughts, and a bit of a history lesson that can help inform us as to what directions we want to go in: Lemmy was named Lemmy because of two reasons: 1. The creator of Lemmy was fond of the game [Lemmings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmings_(video_game)), wherein the player leads an ever-increasing line of rodents through a puzzle [to avoid certain doom](https://readonlymemory.vg/the-making-of-lemmings/) (or towards their certain doom - you decide). *(It might also be useful to note that at the height of its popularity, the Lemmings game was targeted and labeled a "satanic" video game by certain far-right christian groups, due, ironically, to the whole "leading a group of mindless entities to their certain doom" idea, and also primarily because there were [levels that appear to take place in a hellish cavern, where you lead the lemmings into the mouth of a demon.](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/lemmings/images/5/53/LemmingsFun28.png)) This is all part of the "[Satanic Panic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUNxOA-TMPc)" often found among far-right groups who believe in Satan, and are afraid of him.* 2. Lemmy from Motorhead had just recently passed away, and so as a way of honoring Lemmy from Motorhead, they named it Lemmy. ---------- Regarding the Lemming rodent itself: In popular culture, a longstanding myth holds that they exhibit herd mentality and jump off cliffs, committing mass suicide. [This myth was created and perpetuated by Disney in their 1958 "nature documentary" film "White Wilderness" wherein they staged a mass-suicide of lemmings](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al2CnczsP9k) that they had imported to Alberta Canada from Manitoba specifically to stage and film this myth. The current mlem icon look seems really close to the Mickey Mouse logo, especially at a small icon size, which is why it struck me that maybe we need a new logo for this app, at the very least. I'm also not sure how closely we want to try to associate with Lemmy from Motorhead. He was a great guy, by all accounts, but I'm not sure what his estate would say about it, nor do I think there is much mass-recognition or mass-appeal in going that route. ---------- A few questions: - Are we married to the name "mlem"? - Do we want to emphasize any of the particular letters in the name? For instance: "mLEM" or "mLem" or "MleM"? - What is our primary audience going to be? Are we looking to appeal to feminine equally as well as masculine and androgynous? - What logos and identities do you think currently do a good job of straddling that line of appealing to the entire spectrum? - This is a mobile iOS app, so do you feel like we should make sure that it feels like it belongs within that ecosystem? - Should the emphasis be to make it fit within the overall Lemmy GUI ecosystem itself, adhering to and following the default GUI design of the default Lemmy instance installation, and change with that as it changes? - Should the default icon style be ever-changing, similar to how Apollo's icon designs were customizable? - Even if the styles and aesthetics change, the actual logo for the app should probably remain consistent. - Color theory should be applied to the default aesthetic of this design, of course, so I'll give you a [link to the emotional/cultural impact of colors to inform those decisions](https://www.verywellmind.com/color-psychology-2795824). If this app is going to be used worldwide, we will need to take into account cultural variations in terms of color interpretation. - Given that lemmings are native to the arctic tundra, should we take that into account in the design/coloration? Using whites and blues to bring to mind ice and snow? Or is that too cold/forbidding, and we want to be warmer and more inviting? ---------- Any other ideas to consider?

I created /c/tiki and I want to pin the welcome post. But when I click on the "..." for the post, I just get the standard buttons, no mod options. What gives?

Tiki GuyDudeman • 1 year ago • 100%

Everyone is welcome here, to this chill paradise of leisure and relaxation. Except squares. No squares. If you're curious about the history of Tiki culture, [this video is a great introduction ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z1stMWqa2o)to the history and current status as of the early 2000's.

Hey y'all. How's it going?

So, I'm not cool with genocide. Not cool with that at all. Even if they are landlords. I'm much more in favor of reeducation centers, personally. I'm against the death penalty on moral grounds. I believe that everyone deserves a second and third chance. With that said, economically, I consider myself to be anarcho-communist or communalist or "left-communist" or whatever the fuck you want to call it. But apparently all of that makes me a lib, and not welcome on the left? Is that correct? *edit: I've now been banned from LemmyGrad, so yeah, that kind of confirms it. You guys are morons. Or a PsyOp meant to forever impede any sort of sea-change towards socialism.
